I know that there is value
173
00:07:02,422 --> 00:07:07,009
in going and challenging
what is a terrible status quo.
174
00:07:07,009 --> 00:07:09,595
The government,
the power that they wield
175
00:07:09,595 --> 00:07:14,267
in the context of criminal
litigation is so lopsided.
176
00:07:14,267 --> 00:07:16,602
I guess the thing
that I don't understand
177
00:07:16,602 --> 00:07:20,398
is if you believe that
the criminal justice system
is broken
178
00:07:20,398 --> 00:07:22,608
and it's just all unjust
or whatever --
179
00:07:22,608 --> 00:07:25,987
and there's certainly a lot of
justification for that belief --
180
00:07:25,987 --> 00:07:29,574
is why he spends his time
trying DWI cases.
181
00:07:29,574 --> 00:07:31,868
The real injustice
is in felony cases,
182
00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:34,996
where people are losing
their liberty and, perhaps,
their lives.
183
00:07:34,996 --> 00:07:38,749
Adam practiced in federal court
for about five minutes.
184
00:07:38,749 --> 00:07:42,253
And he realized that
the amount of energy and effort
185
00:07:42,253 --> 00:07:45,673
that he has to devote to a case
186
00:07:45,673 --> 00:07:47,717
would not yield the same result.
187
00:07:47,717 --> 00:07:49,969
Because there is not
as much flexibility
188
00:07:49,969 --> 00:07:51,304
in federal court or state court.
189
00:07:51,304 --> 00:07:54,056
And that's why he says,
"[Bleep] you, federal court.
190
00:07:54,056 --> 00:07:55,016
I'm out."
191
00:07:55,016 --> 00:07:56,392
Reposa:
People say I'm a cowboy,
192
00:07:56,392 --> 00:08:00,188
and that's the problem,
is that being like,
193
00:08:00,188 --> 00:08:02,315
"You are arresting more people
194
00:08:02,315 --> 00:08:05,568
than you can give
due process to,
195
00:08:05,568 --> 00:08:10,948
so you need to stop
arresting so many people,"
196
00:08:10,948 --> 00:08:13,159
that's rogue.
197
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:14,410
Much like Saul,
198
00:08:14,410 --> 00:08:17,038
Adam has his fans
and his detractors.
199
00:08:17,038 --> 00:08:19,582
But I have to ask,
200
00:08:19,582 --> 00:08:22,460
wouldn't you want your lawyer
to risk everything,
201
00:08:22,460 --> 00:08:25,671
even jail,
to win your case?
202
00:08:25,671 --> 00:08:39,685
