Seaver and Cosgrove in “12 Seconds”

SSeaver

It seems that whenever a person of color is on trial, you always bring in some extra evidence to the equation.

Are you trying to say that I make things up? Because that's not how it works.

SSeaver

Quite the contrary. It's simple math. And it adds up to you having a racially motivated axe to grind. There's no other way to explain it.

I'm pretty sure there is. But I'm not a sociologist. I'm a homicide detective. I follow the evidence, and I arrest bad guys, regardless of their race. That's what I do. And in this case, the evidence points at Michelle Nichols.

SSeaver

A Black woman.

No. A murderer.
