American Crime Story

[Discussing Juror #462’s accusation against her husband of physically abusing her, which she did not disclose]

Johnnie Cochran:
As she said, this was simply a misunderstanding.

Marcia Clark:
She lied. She’s out!

Johnnie Cochran:
She didn’t lie. She said…

Marcia Clark:
She said no to the question “have you ever been a victim of domestic violence?” Her husband raped her twice.

F. Lee Bailey:
Actually, it wasn’t legally rape in ’88. [Darden frowns in confusion] I mean, between a husband and wife.

[Ito rolls his eyes, while Marcia stares at Bailey in disbelief]

Marcia Clark:
You just said that. Out loud.

Judge Lance Ito:
All right, so let me get this straight. The defence is arguing to keep a victim of domestic abuse, and the People are arguing to dismiss her? Somehow, I get the idea if this juror were white, we’d be having a different conversation right now. I have no choice but to dismiss #462.
