People of the State of California
vs. Alfredo Castro.
He is present, and all counsel are present.
Now the court has heard and considered all of the evidence, and now I will render a verdict.
As to count number one, Attempted m*rder, the court finds the defendant guilty as charged.
[GROANS]
The court also finds that the crime was committed with willful, deliberate premeditation.
Now that said, the defendant entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity.
This concludes the guilt phase.
Is the defense ready to proceed with the sanity phase?
We are, Your Honor.
All right, the court will be in recess until : a.m. tomorrow.
[GAVEL BANGS]
[MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY IN SPANISH]
We'll talk later, okay?
So what exactly happens now?
Well, the defense will try to prove that your brother was illegally insane - when he stabbed your father.
- Why is it so complicated to send him to prison for what he did?
[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
_ [SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
_ - [GRUNTING]
- Javier!
Papá...
_ Javier, please.
Alfredo grabbed a Kn*fe from the kitchen and stabbed my father, and yet my father finds a way to be mad at me.
At me.
What did I do wrong?
I saved his life!
You've been so brave.
I'm tired of being brave.
I wanna feel safe.
Is there anything we can do to avoid the sanity phase?
Alfredo was already found guilty.
Ms.
Lopez will try to get your brother sent to the state hospital for treatment.
He's not crazy.
He was high again.
He knew exactly what he was doing.
Alfredo doesn't have schizophrenia just because the defense says he does.
Their doctor says he does, but we have a strategy.
Our doctor found that it's unclear whether he suffers from a mental illness, and that is enough to argue against their diagnosis, plus there's no medical records, no family history.
And that is why we still have a great case.
If you hadn't there to stop your brother's att*ck, this would be a m*rder trial, Eva.
I really do miss my brother, but that person doesn't exist anymore.
[CRYING]
I am so sorry, Alfredo.
You work very hard, Señorita Lopez.
I'm lucky to have you as my lawyer.
When can I go home?
Alfredo, you can't...
Do you know what just happened?
- The judge found you guilty.
- It wasn't him.
I don't know how to explain it, Ms. Lopez.
That night, it wasn't my father.
The Other took over him.
- I would never hurt my family.
- I know.
And I need my family and the judge to know that, too, okay?
I'll try, but it is gonna get personal, and I want you to be ready for that, okay?
This phase determines whether you're going to prison or a state hospital.
The guilty verdict is one thing, but the judge also found that the crime was premeditated.
- So, Alfredo...
- Now I'm facing life in prison.
I know.
I do remember that.
I am going to fight like hell to not let that happen, okay?
♪ I heard you got the "guilty" verdict, so I brought you celebratory waffles.
Oh, I'm starving.

We were hoping that Emily would drop the insanity plea.
- She didn't.

It's horrible, what the trial's doing to this poor family.

- Maybe he is mentally ill.

This is good.
I can't believe my boy won't be coming home.
Javier, it doesn't help when my client's family doesn't believe he's ill.
All I know is that he needs me.
He needs his family, and he needs to come home.
I know it's not that simple, but there has to be a way.
Can...
Can you appeal?
It's not how it works.
I'm a public defender.
Our office doesn't handle appeals.
But if you take the stand...
And say what?
That he's crazy?
That he didn't recognize you when he att*cked you, that he thought you were an imposter, that he wasn't trying to k*ll you.
Your testimony can save your son from prison.
Rotting in prison or a state hospital seems the same to me.
His life has been taken away from him.
A state hospital is not prison, Javier.
It's where he can go to get the help he needs to get better.
And you could visit him whenever you want.
You could talk to him.
You could hug him.
Why won't you help your son?
What do you think I've been doing his whole life?

I need you.
I want you to come back to Trials.
Not everyone enjoys the spotlight as much as you, Callan.
You know, every attorney can only stand a finite number of trials, and I have already reached my limit.
Carver, I am running a thick blue wall here.
You're the only person who knows what that's like, and somehow the cops still respect the hell out of you.
That's because I hold them accountable, - and I don't suffer fools.
- Like in The People vs. Cooper.
They sent you down after that case.

Look, you and I both know how the trial absolutely destroyed the Castros.
It's not too late to stipulate to insanity and just end this.
He's not mentally ill.
He thought his father was an imposter, Sam.
Our experts see it differently, and the Castros need justice.
They also need compassion.
You know what?
You don't know what it's like to be Latino and come from a community where therapy is frowned upon and is only for people who are crazy.
Please don't tell me what I know and don't know, Emily.
You don't know me.
Well, you clearly don't know what it's like to have a father who is in absolute denial about his son's mental illness and a sister who thinks that her brother's mental breakdown is nothing more than him just being high on dr*gs.
dr*gs were found in his system that night.
He's completely sane, and he knew perfectly well what he was doing.
A mentally ill man has been self-medicating throughout his entire life because he has had no one to help him seek proper treatment.

And I would like to do a cross-examination.

It has nothing to do with your abilities.

- You'll be right there.

Look.
What am I looking at?
Our smoking g*n.
Dr. Johnson, did you reach a diagnosis when you evaluated Alfredo Castro?
Yes, I did.
Schizophrenia.
And can you please tell the court what the main symptoms of schizophrenia are?
Lack of normal thinking, withdrawal, lack of interest.
Exaggerated ideas such as hallucinations or delusions.
Could you please tell us what the Capgras delusion is?
Whoever's suffering from it has this irrational belief that a person close to him has been replaced by an imposter.
In your opinion, is it possible that Mr. Castro could have been experiencing a Capgras delusion - on the night in question?
- Yes.
Thank you.
Nothing further, Your Honor.
All right.
Prosecution may cross-examine the witness.
For how long have you been a licensed psychiatrist?
years.
Are you familiar with schizoid personality disorder?
Yes, I am.
Is it true that SPD does not cause delusions or hallucinations?
Meaning that a person suffering from SPD maintains a complete understanding of their surroundings and is therefore completely sane at all times?
Yes.
Are you familiar with the book onscreen, Dr. Johnson?
Um, yes, we use it as a standard diagnostic reference.
Isn't it true that in order to get an official diagnosis of schizophrenia, a person has to show at least two of the following symptoms most of the time for a month, and some mental disturbance - over six months.
- Yes, that's true.
Now you, Dr. Johnson, a licensed psychiatrist for years, diagnosed the defendant with schizophrenia after only a couple of hours?
Objection.
Calls for speculation and argumentative.
No.
Overruled.
You may answer.
That is correct.
Is it possible that you could have misdiagnosed Alfredo?
Objection.
Leading and prejudicial.
It's a fair question, Ms. Lopez.
Overruled.
It's possible but not likely.
Is it possible that Alfredo has SPD and not schizophrenia?
Anything's possible.
Is it possible that on the night in question, Alfredo acted solely on the influence of dr*gs and was not experiencing symptoms of schizophrenia?
Yes, it is possible.
No further questions.

Why is Javier refusing?
Because he thinks that he's protecting his son.

Collins was tough, but he had a reputation for being fair.

I can't take the stand, Señorita Lopez.
I mean, doctors can't even agree on what's happening to me.
How much help can I be?
Listen...
A few years ago, I suffered trauma, and it took me a while to accept that I needed help.
You were sick, too?
I was wounded.
And I couldn't heal alone.
I...
I couldn't even talk to my father.
I...
I was so scared, just like you are now.
And I understand...
how hard this is, I do.
But I'm...
I'm just asking you to be braver than I was.
All you have to do is tell the truth...
[VOICE ECHOING] what thoughts were going on in your head, how you were feeling, what we are...
Why are you telling me all these things right now?
Because your father won't testify, Alfredo, but you can.
- No, I can't.
- We're running out of options...
No!
[VOICE ECHOING]
Okay.
Hey.
I'm s...
Um, I didn't mean to stress you out.
I thought you were gone.
Why are you back?
Back?
Alfredo?
It's me, Emily.
No.
I know who you are.
You stay away from me!
- Look at me.
Look at me.
- What did you do to Señorita Lopez?!
It's Emily Lopez...
Señorita Lopez!
If you're in there, can you hear me?!
Calm down.
Señorita Lopez, I'm not gonna let him hurt you!
- Guard!
Guard?!
- I'm not gonna let him...
- Guard, please...

Señorita Lopez!
I'm not gonna let him.

Alfredo had enough last night.
- Is he okay?
- They gave him some medication.
He didn't know who I was.
He didn't recognize me.
It was really hard to watch, and I can't imagine how hard it must have been for you.
Alfredo is facing life in prison.
I have tried to work with the prosecution, but it's not happening.
His episode could be grounds to have him declared mentally incompetent, so I-I can push for a mistrial if you're okay with that.
I don't have money to get him treatment on my own.
I want him to get better.
You say I can visit him in the state hospital, right?
Yes.
Would it help if the judge knows about my mother?
I don't have time to get any evidence to prove that.
Is it too late for me to testify?
♪ He was confused.
He kept calling me an imposter, asking me not to hurt his father.
There was fear in his eyes.
I was just trying to understand where all this was coming from.
Is there any history of mental illness in your family?
My mother had schizophrenia.
By the time she was diagnosed, the illness had fully taken over.
Hospitals didn't seem to help.
I had no idea what was happening to her.
Everyone abandoned her.
I didn't want that for my son.
Mr.
Castro, have you witnessed on multiple occasions over the past six months any behaviors from your son that may mirror your mother's schizophrenic symptoms?
Objection.
We all know what she's doing, Your Honor.
Yes, we do.
The witness may answer the question.

Please.

Please?
[CRYING]
Mija.
You should have told me.
I had a right to know.
You let me believe he was a reckless addict.
The first time I've ever heard about his illness was here, in court.
All this time, you knew.
- I wanted to be wrong.
- We wouldn't be here if you would've just talked to me, Papá.
I could have helped.
I apologize on Callan's behalf for wasting your time.
Why'd you call this meeting, then, just to watch us beg?
Yeah, I'm not doing that.
You have a good day, fellas.
Judge Collins was a good man.
I was there that day.
- How old are you?
- I was a young D.A.
Judge Collins was not only my mentor, but he also helped me find my career path.
And your outburst set a few things in motion, including a formal grievance filed against Collins.
Yeah, but only one of us got punished.
You see, Mark, one loud moment in your life can define the rest of it, no matter how much good you've done before that.
Life is like that... at least it is for some of us.
Well, I look at Carver, right?
I read about his old cases, the work that he did.
And it makes me wanna do better.
I want change, and I know you do, too, but we need all the help we can get.
Do you wanna come back?
- Do you want me back?
- We need to take this to Bravo.
But I think we can make it work.
- That's all I need for now.
- Whoa, what does that mean?
As you get older, Mark, your priorities change.
We see each other differently now, and that tops any job offer for me.
That said, if you get a Special Trial, and you feel that it's special enough...
go ahead and call me.

♪ The prosecution may cross-examine the witness.
Your Honor, no questions for the witness.
The People are willing to enter into a stipulation as to the issue of the defendant's sanity and concede that he was legally insane when he committed the crime.
Ms. Lopez, are you willing to stipulate?
Yes...
Yes, Your Honor.
Very well.
The court will accept that stipulation, and on that basis, find the defendant was legally insane at the time of the offense.
Alfredo Castro...
You will be committed to the Department of State Hospitals for care and treatment forthwith, and that will be the order.

Hey, Judge Campbell, can I ask, why do you hate sanity cases so much?
Mental illness affects many families.
Mine's one of 'em.
You know, I just needed a little light, some fun.
- I thank you for both.
- You are a good man, Judge Campbell.
You've been an absolute pleasure to work with.
It would be an honor if you would consider working for me.
No pressure.
Just promise you'll think it over.
