How could you have

Iet this happen?

Come on!

We've already been through this.

Couldn't you have broken

through the passenger side window?

- With what?

- With your fist!

Look, l already told you: by the time

l got there, it was pulling away.

What the f***, Elise!

What are you doing?

l would have been out there a lot sooner

if l didn't have to search through all this.

OK, old vitamins and hand creams

and all this holistic crap

and all this other sh*t that you keep in here

for no f***ing reason at all!

l can't help it.

lt's not your fault.

lt could have happened to me

just as easily, Craig.

l know that...

...on a rational level...

...but deep down

l can't help it.

l iust have the need...

...to blame someone.

l know it's not fair.

'Did you have

a good day at school?

'Ben, did you clean your room?'

'l don't want to clean my room.

Can l go outside and play?'

'l know it's cliche but you seriously

have to eat your vegetables'

'Will you read me a story?'

'OK'

'Look what l made you at school.

- 'Do you like it?'

- 'Oh, that's beautiful'

'Yes, it will be there

in the morning when you wake up.

'You did? Let me see it.

Not bad'

'When's Dad coming home

from the hospital?'

'Let's go get in bed, you'

'Do l have to go to bed?

Ten more minutes, please'

'Ben, enough of the candy,

it's bedtime.

'Ben, take the lollypop out of your mouth,

you already brushed your teeth'

'l love you, Mummy'

'l love you too, bug'

'Deliberation began today

'in the murder

trial of Benjamin Michael Landry.

'The six-year-old,

who was found brutally murdered

'in the basement of defendant...

'...John Kozlowski's backyard.

'No one at the police department

was willing to comment on this...

'...hidden under the cellar stairs.

'...collecting disability at the time

of the murder.

'Many residents of Rutland Country

were shocked...

'...Kozlowski's basement

days after..'

Well, the iury could recommend

if they felt it was warranted
