The Trials of Cate McCall Page #2
so I can get off probation.
I'm completely f***ing sober
except a cigarette here and there.
Are you seeing Augie?
I'd be seeing a lot more of her
if I had any kind of help.
- This case I'm working on...
- Spend time with your kid, Cate.
We need to make you present
in her life again.
I'm having a really
tough week this week.
Gotta lot of stuff
going on, trying to...
You know.
Figure out...
I have a really hard
time surrendering.
I've been...
Pretending to give
up control, but...
I still want what I want, I still
want certain outcomes, you know?
So I start bargaining.
And then I start
making deals with God.
"If You do this for me..."
"I will have another month sober".
And then I start feeling guilty
about how I'm working my program.
Or how I'm not working my program.
So how's Augie and
what has she done?
She accused me of being perfect.
It's nice to know I can
still fool somebody.
Hey, are you okay?
I got a text from Wilson George.
Maybe I should just call
him, consult my list.
The idea isn't to
endangered yourself.
Why don't you just
change your number?
I like my number.
Wilson George may
have been cleared.
But he is still dangerous.
Had you been treated
for alcohol addiction?
Or depression prior to
No.
Do you want to tell me about it?
Do I want to?
I was working in the DA's office.
This was...
12 years ago.
It was 12.
And I was assigned this...
It was a rape murder
of a 6 years old girl.
And I've seen some...
Horrible awful things,
but this one was just...
Beyond.
I made it my mission
to put this guy away.
And so when I got the conviction,
I felt great and then...
When the jury sends him to die...
I felt like I did something right.
For a long time, I didn't
Except that I was glad that he
wasn't out there hurting anybody.
And so, I was deep
into another case.
I'd left the Prosecutors
Office a few years before.
And I got a call, they had
tested semen samples.
Taken from the girl's sock.
And, I guess...
Technology had advanced to...
Where they were able to
determine based on the new...
DNA evidence that...
That it wasn't actually Wilson
George and he was innocent.
I felt like...
Everything that I knew...
Everything that I...
Felt good about was...
Was wrong. False.
They got Dorrie's testimony,
they got Rusty's testimony.
And they got the victim's
pretty stricken mother...
Standing up there saying her daughter's
last word was "Lacey did it".
But it's a lie.
My lawyer said he spoke to some
medical examiner guy that said...
There's no way Jen
could've said I did it.
Because her throat
was sliced through.
