THEY WERE MEANT TO MAKE ME A PERJURER
WHY, DID YOU ASK?
BECAUSE I WAS A DEBT PAYMENT. TO THE MOB
NO, NOT A KIND THAT IS PRETTY ENOUGH OR IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO BE COLLECTED IN MARRIAGE
MY FLAT CHEST AND NERD GLASSES DIDN'T INSPIRE MADE MEN TO USE ME FOR THEIR SICK PLEASURE AND CALL IT A DAY
NEITHER DID MY NO LONGER RICH OR POWERFUL DROWNING -IN-DEBT CORRUPT EX POLITICIAN OF A FATHER

*Instead I was given the best education to become the shrink*
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
*who would lie under oath to free convicted mobsters in the state of Illinois*
THAT'WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU SKIP TWO YEARS AND NERDLY BLURT OUT IN A SCHOOL

Adam Polanski
Doctor Berlusconi?
ADAM POLANSKI, THE DEFENDANT'S ATTORNEY
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
(shifted in the witness Stand)
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
(clearing throat)
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Yes?
Adam Polanski
can you please tell us what the culprit was thinking when he did this?
HE POINTED MAGNIFIED PROJECTION IMAGE OF A BLOODY CORPSE OF A WOMAN WITH MULTIPLE STAB WOUND
THE DEFENDANT 'S MURDERED WIFE
Prosecutor
OBJECTION! YOUR HONOR.
Prosecutor
the witness can't know what the defendant was thinking
BUT I DO. THE DEFENDANT KILLED HIS WIFE AFTER SHE KNEW HE WAS CHEATING ON HER
SO SHE WOULDN'T SUE HIS AS* AND TAKE HIS MONEY.
HE TOLD ME HIMSELF WITH A PROUD SMIRK
Adam Polanski
Dr. Berlusconi is an expert witness, your honor
Adam Polanski
she is called in because she is the defendant psychiatrist and she is an expert in her field
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
*WRONG*
DESPITE MY INTELLIGENCE DEDICATION AND MASTER'S DEGREE, I WASN'T QUALIFIED TO BE AN EXPERT
I NEEDED AT LEAST 5 MORE YEARS IN THE FIELD AND A REAL PHD...
... NOT ONE THAT IS FALSIFIED LIKE MY NEW BIRTH CERTIFICATE
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
*I AM ALMOST 22 IN REALITY, NOT 27*
JUST LIKE POLANSKI IS PAID HAVELI TO MAKE SURE A GUILTY MURDERER AVOID JAIL TIME
I AM CALLED IN TO IN TO LIE FOR THE SAME REASON
Judge Deluca
OVERRULED, PROCEED
(promoted)
I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF JUDGE DELUCA IS PARTICULARLY SELECTED FOR THIS CASE, TOO
HE AND MY FATHER PLAYED POKER TOGETHER AND HAD BONDED OVER A LONG HISTORY OF GAMBLING DEBT AND SHADY FAVORS
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
after examining the defendant, Viktor Safin,
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
who has been my patient for the past 3 months, the professional diagnosis for him is schizophrenia with Paranoia
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
His paranoid delusions in particular focus on the constant fear of being poisoned
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
in my professional opinion, on the day of the crime...
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Safin in a paranoid delusion of his, believed his wife was trying to poison him
Adam Polanski
and in your professional opinion,
Adam Polanski
do you believe Viktor intended to murder his wife?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
NO
(lied)

Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
No
(lied without batting an eye)
I'D LEARN TO LIVE WITHOUT A SINGLE QUIVER TO MY BODY OR VOICE
SINCE THE MOMENT MY FATHER WAS TIED HELPLESS, A KNIFE TO HIS EYE, AND A GUN BARREL WAS SHOVED INTO MY MOM'S MOUTH RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AND MY BABY BROTHER
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
in that moment, Viktor was enable to distinguish reality from delusion
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
he felt threatened in the midst of his delusional state and in his mind, he was defending himself
Adam Polanski
thank you doctor Berlusconi. no more question
SHAME AND REVULSION TUGGED AT MY CONSCIENCE, BUT I HAVE TO NUMB IT OR RATHER SMOTHER IT
A VIOLENT MURDERER HAD OCCURRED, AND THE MAN SITTING AT THE DEFENDANT STABLE WAS AS GUILTY AS IT GOT
I WASN'T ANY LESS GUILTY FOR HELPING HIM GO FREE
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
*But I have no choice*
WHAT WOULD YOU DO WHEN THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE THE MOST IS AT THE MERCY OF BRUTAL CRIMINAL, AND YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT COULD SPARE THEM?
I DID AT FIRST. THE RESULT WAS A BROKEN HIP, A KIDNEY THAT COULDN'T BE SALVAGED, AND A SCAR ACROSS MY BACK THAT WOULD NEVER GO AWAY
THEN I FOUGHT AGAIN WHICH MADE THEM REALISE I DON'T CARE ABOUT MY LIFE IF I'D HAVE TO LIVE IT WITH BLOOD ON MY HANDS
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
*So they took a life I cared about. My baby brother's*
NOW WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE NEXT?
YEAH THAT WAS WHAT I THOUGHT
Prosecutor
Dr. Berlusconi
(look in her eyes)
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
*Can he see my blatant lies? *
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
*does he know I am nothing but a tool passed among the hands of monster? *
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
*will he do something about it?*
Prosecutor
you have provided is speculated reason as to the murderer
Prosecutor
in your professional opinion how do you explain why Viktor Safin instead of simply walking away from the allegedly poison dinner choice to stab his wife
Prosecutor
who was almost half his size, 12 times to defend himself?
Adam Polanski
OBJECTED YOUR HONOR!
Judge Deluca
You may answer Doctor
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Mr. Safin didn't choose to stab his wife
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
infact when grab the dinner knife from her hand and stabbed her with it,
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
he wasn't stabbing his wife at all
Prosecutor
(cocked a brow)
Prosecutor
then whom was he stabbing?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Stan
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
due to Mr safin's Paranoia, I believed his wife was having an affair with the man name Stan
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
he also believe stan was his wife's accomplice in the poisoning attempt and he was lurking in the house that night
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
during his delusional, Mr safin after he walked away from the dinner table, refusing to eat
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
he turned and saw stan in the dining room, sitting in his wife's chair, holding a knife
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
he believed stan lunged at him, and so he fought, grab the knife and stabbed him in self defence
Prosecutor
are you telling me and the court that when Viktor Safin plunged a knife into his wife's body 12 times, he thought she was a man called Stan?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
And stan was attacking him with the dinner knife he held in his hand
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
so Mr saffin defended himself against the attack, Yes
Prosecutor
(head jerked back)
Prosecutor
(arm wide in the air)
Prosecutor
Wow. during the course of the treatment of Viktor Safin, has he revealed the last name of stan
Prosecutor
given you any prove that his wife was in fact having an affair?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
No and no.
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
in my opinion and after talking to the wife myself during the course of my treatment
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
stan doesn't exist.
only in safin's head
Judge Deluca
sustained. careful, counsellor
Prosecutor
Has Viktor Safin given you a physical description of stan, Doctor?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
He has
Prosecutor
Care to share, Doctor?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Mid - thirties. over six feet. blue eyes. dark brown hair and beard
Prosecutor
(stare at DEFENDANT and then at Ravenna)
Prosecutor
you are almost describing Viktor Safin himself
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
the wife had argued the same when she tried to exonerate herself in our session, too
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
and when she urged her husband to stop fighting with stan on multiple occasion both publicly and in their house
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
she mentioned she was severely embarrassed and humiliated by safin's episode
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
but that was the description my patient gave me. like I said I don't believe stan exist in real life
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
and it's not uncommon for paranoid patient to project an image of themselves in their delusion
Prosecutor
do you think tan could be a projection of Viktor Safin's own identity?
THE PROSECUTOR REFERENCE TO PROVEN EVIDENCE OF SAFIN'S AFFAIR SO THE JUDGE ALLOWED THE QUESTION
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
it's possible
Prosecutor
has Mrs safin revealed to you during your session that she was aware of her husband's affair
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Yes
Prosecutor
how did she react?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
she was devasted and angry. she said she was considering having a divorce
Prosecutor
did the defendant agree to grant her a divorce?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
not that I know of
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
my observation state Viktor Safin was fond of his wife despite what he believed of her
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
and he didn't want a divorce. even his infidelity to him, was a reflex to hers
Prosecutor
is it possible on the night of the heinous murder, Mr and Mrs safin were arguing about the divorce,
Prosecutor
as the help has testified, and he suspected she was trying to poison him because he wouldn't grant her the divorce?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
It's possible
Prosecutor
and is it possible right in that moment that he was lucid enough to end that argument in blood?
Adam Polanski
OBJECTION, your honor. this is ---
Judge Deluca
overruled, answer the question doctor
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
your hypothesis dedicate the defendant wasn't acting under the influence of his delusion when he thought the dinner his wife had made was poisoned
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
you are suggesting it was a rational suspicion
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
if that was the case then it establishes that Mr safin was indeed lucid enough to walk away from the dinner table after the argument
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
which clearly indicates he had no intention to retaliate or harm his wife.
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
what would motivate him to return and stab his wife to death?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
if that was his intention why didn't he do it in the heat of the argument?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
on the other hand his wife, if she did poison him, would be the one inclined to finish the task
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
don't you think?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
so perhaps based on your hypothesis, Mrs safin attacked her husband with the dinner knife,
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
and he, whether you assume he was in a delusion or not, still kid his attacker in the self defence
Prosecutor
But the witnesses ---
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
the answer to your question is no, counselor.
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
in My professional opinion which is the only thing I am here to give,
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
it is when safin looked back at his wife's seat on his way out that delusion of stan attacking him manifested
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
and thus safin defended himself
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
your hypothesis contradict my documented finding and diagnosis
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
everything as regarding this case is your job to prove or discredit
Prosecutor
(flash of anger stained the face)
I AM SURE AFTER THIS ARGUMENT, POLANSKI'S IRRESPONSIBLE IMPULSE INSANITY DEFENSE WOULD HOLD
AND VIKTOR SAFIN WOULD WALK AWAY WITH MURDER
Prosecutor
(marched towards the table)
Prosecutor
I'm done no more question, your honor
