I should tell you... I spoke with an assistant U.S. attorney. I refused to cooperate, but they are investigating you. So, whatever it is you are doing with the Calabri family, you need to stop. They're watching everything you do.

They solved the case. Then they unsolved the case. And now they promise you they've solved it again. Every witness they are going to call has their own reason to point the finger at Eugene Jones. It's almost as if all of their problems will vanish if they can just dispose of this boy. Sometimes, the city can turn against you. It will allow your life to crumble, and your family to be wiped out. The levees are supposed to hold. But when they don't... ...don't trust anyone.

But the State won't be calling him to testify. We can't ask him why he lied. We can't ask why. Detective Rudy Cunningham of the NOPD attempted to murder this child in the middle of our city. Once it was clear his plot had been foiled, Detective Cunningham took his own life using the same gun he'd used to shoot Eugene. We will never get his answer to the most burning question of all -- what were you trying to cover up?

And I hate this building because inside these walls I learned the most painful lesson of my life. Don't trust anyone. I don't know about you, but I'm already very, very confused. Up until a few months ago, Eugene Jones was dead. We knew that because the NOPD told us that he was dead. That's the same NOPD that swore up and down that my client was a killer, and then swore up and down that they'd found his dead body. And just like that, the Baxter House shooting was solved, and the Quarter was safe again. An officer named Rudy Cunningham cracked the case and solved the murder of Adam Desiato.
Ms Lee
Eugene Jones sat in the courtroom and watched Carlo Baxter get acquitted on all charges for the murder of his brother, Kofi. And then Eugene Jones took matters into his own hands. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, this is a case about simple revenge. It's not complicated. The State will show that Eugene Jones purchased a gun and came to the hotel that night with murder on his mind. He fired the gun at Carlo Baxter and killed Adam Desiato instead. You will be presented with ample evidence that supports these facts. Eyewitness accounts, forensic analysis, and other testimony. All of it, seen in its totality, will point toward one clear conclusion -- that Eugene Jones be found guilty of first-degree murder.
