Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
No (lied without batting an eye)
____RAVENNA'S POV____
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
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
in that moment, Viktor was enable to distinguish reality from delusion
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
he felt threatened in the midst of his delusional state and in his mind, he was defending himself
Adam Polanski
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
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?
SAY NO? FIGHT?
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
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
Prosecutor
Dr. Berlusconi (look in her eyes)
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
*Can he see my blatant lies? *
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
*does he know I am nothing but a tool passed among the hands of monster? *
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
*will he do something about it?*
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
you have provided is speculated reason as to the murderer
Prosecutor
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
Prosecutor
who was almost half his size, 12 times to defend himself?
Adam Polanski
Adam Polanski
OBJECTED YOUR HONOR!
Judge Deluca
Judge Deluca
You may answer Doctor
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Mr. Safin didn't choose to stab his wife
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
infact when grab the dinner knife from her hand and stabbed her with it,
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
he wasn't stabbing his wife at all
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
(cocked a brow)
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
then whom was he stabbing?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Stan
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
stan?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
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
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
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
during his delusional, Mr safin after he walked away from the dinner table, refusing to eat
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
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
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
he believed stan lunged at him, and so he fought, grab the knife and stabbed him in self defence
Prosecutor
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
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
And stan was attacking him with the dinner knife he held in his hand
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
so Mr saffin defended himself against the attack, Yes
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
(head jerked back)
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
(arm wide in the air)
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
Wow. during the course of the treatment of Viktor Safin, has he revealed the last name of stan
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
given you any prove that his wife was in fact having an affair?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
No and no.
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
in my opinion and after talking to the wife myself during the course of my treatment
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
stan doesn't exist. only in safin's head
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
how convenient
Adam Polanski
Adam Polanski
OBJECTION
Judge Deluca
Judge Deluca
sustained. careful, counsellor
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
(short sigh)
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
Has Viktor Safin given you a physical description of stan, Doctor?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
He has
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
Care to share, Doctor?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Mid - thirties. over six feet. blue eyes. dark brown hair and beard
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
(stare at DEFENDANT and then at Ravenna)
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
you are almost describing Viktor Safin himself
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
the wife had argued the same when she tried to exonerate herself in our session, too
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
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
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
she mentioned she was severely embarrassed and humiliated by safin's episode
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
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
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
and it's not uncommon for paranoid patient to project an image of themselves in their delusion
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
do you think tan could be a projection of Viktor Safin's own identity?
Adam Polanski
Adam Polanski
OBJECTION!
THE PROSECUTOR REFERENCE TO PROVEN EVIDENCE OF SAFIN'S AFFAIR SO THE JUDGE ALLOWED THE QUESTION
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
it's possible
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
has Mrs safin revealed to you during your session that she was aware of her husband's affair
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Yes
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
how did she react?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
she was devasted and angry. she said she was considering having a divorce
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
did the defendant agree to grant her a divorce?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
not that I know of
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
my observation state Viktor Safin was fond of his wife despite what he believed of her
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
and he didn't want a divorce. even his infidelity to him, was a reflex to hers
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
is it possible on the night of the heinous murder, Mr and Mrs safin were arguing about the divorce,
Prosecutor
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
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
It's possible
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
and is it possible right in that moment that he was lucid enough to end that argument in blood?
Adam Polanski
Adam Polanski
OBJECTION, your honor. this is ---
Judge Deluca
Judge Deluca
overruled, answer the question doctor
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
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
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
you are suggesting it was a rational suspicion
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
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
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
which clearly indicates he had no intention to retaliate or harm his wife.
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
what would motivate him to return and stab his wife to death?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
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
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
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
don't you think?
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
so perhaps based on your hypothesis, Mrs safin attacked her husband with the dinner knife,
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
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
Prosecutor
But the witnesses ---
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
the answer to your question is no, counselor.
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
in My professional opinion which is the only thing I am here to give,
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
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
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
and thus safin defended himself
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
your hypothesis contradict my documented finding and diagnosis
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
Ravenna Berlusconi/female lead
everything as regarding this case is your job to prove or discredit
Prosecutor
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
Prosecutor
(marched towards the table)
Prosecutor
Prosecutor
I'm done no more question, your honor
