O'Dwyer, Dodds and others in “Unfinished Business”

Do you usually encourage your suspects to get a lawyer?

This is on us. We pushed this kid to testify.

That's not what he did.

Benson

He was trying to get a confession. He was molested by the man that he killed.

He planned this. He tortured that man, he left him to die, and was glad to hear that he bled out in pain. It was premeditated.

You're gonna charge him with 1st degree murder? That's 25 years!

His lawyer can plead for leniency at sentencing.

Benson

His life will be over!

Lieutenant, his life was over at 15.
