Hello? Hey, Rabbi.

He's in his office. He can go right in.

Rabbi.

I just got off the phone with the DA.

They won't be putting the girl's treating doctor up there. That's good

is.

Probably means there's nothing conclusive he could say.

It brings it down to her word against yours.

I see.

You're cheating.

Would you mind meeting with my board?

Your board?

At the temple.

They are paying the legal fees and... Why do they want to meet?

They'd like an assessment of the case.

They're no doubt worried about damage control.

If the synagogue's rabbi is convicted of rape, I'm sure they'll want to be

prepared. How do you feel about me meeting with them?

I'm okay with it. They've stuck by me, so...

How are you assessing the case?

As he said, she said, Rabbi, you two were the only witnesses.

You two and God.

The likelihood is the girl will testify and then they'll rest. I'll call you

after that week close.

This should be over in a couple of days.

I have to warn you, since this thing is getting some publicity, the room will

probably be full.

You might want to convey that to your congregation, because if they really

to turn out to support you, they better get there early.

I can't testify, Mr. Young.

Excuse me?

And the truth here, it could be very damning.

I thought you said you were innocent.

I am. I didn't rape her.

But the theft, it may be... It was a little

forcible.

Forcible?

It was consensual.

But... Forcible?

Why don't you tell me exactly what happened?

We had been having a relationship and it was ending at her urging.

It was the second time she had come to my office for the purpose of breaking it

off.

The first time there were tears on both sides and anger.

We had an argument which led ultimately to a rather passionate session of

lovemaking.

followed by a mutual decision to continue the relationship.

That was the first time.

This time, again, she came to break it off.

Again, we argued.

And again.

We began to kiss.

Fondle.

At which point, she reiterated it was wrong.

But, Mr. Young, she was the kind of person who liked sex more when it was...

Well, and it was my belief the purpose of this breakup, it was to occasion my

rage, because it excited her.

The theft was of a slightly forcible nature.

Even though I remain absolutely convinced it was not only to her liking,

exactly what she wanted.

The jury cannot hear that story. Tell me about it. So he's guilty. Rabbi rapist.

In his mind, he thinks she consented. You know, there are thousands and

thousands of model rabbis out there. Why is it the ones that come in here are

all criminals? Because we're criminal defense attorneys, Eleanor. Look, you

haven't lost, Eugene.

Their case is only her word. You cross a good, you got reasonable doubt.

You want somebody to second chair?

No. Girl's 23.

I don't want the jury to see an army going against her.

But...

The strategy's changed a little. I could use some legwork, chase down some old

boyfriends. Jimmy?

Whatever you need.

Thank you for meeting with us.

No problem.

Obviously, this matter is of significant concern to the synagogue.

And let me preface my remarks by representing... Enough with the

man works on an hourly. We pay for your prefaces.

Sam. Never mind. We're all busy people here. Say what you have to say.

He's so damn worried all the time about being delicate.

Forgive me, Rabbi. It's all right, Sam.

Well, the fact of the matter is, it is delicate.

It goes without saying, the sordidness of a trial would be very unfortunate for

this synagogue.

We're anticipating a civil suit as well, since the event in question took place

in the rabbi's office. She's already hired an attorney who's made overtures.

whole thing is a setup for a civil suit. The girl is a liar. She's looking for

money. As much as we object on principle, we'll give it to her so long

buys her silence.

On the criminal suit as well.

You can't do that. Technically, no. Of course not. But rape victims change

minds about testifying all the time.

Why not just approach the girl on your own?

Because I would assume that the threat of cross -examination at the criminal

trial would factor into any negotiation. You are the only one who can make that

threat. As well as make good on it.

What you're asking me to do is illegal.

The legality turns on the execution.

Let's cut to it.

The man is an enormously popular rabbi, central to our fundraising. We do not

want that girl telling her story in a courtroom or any other public venue.

We have a settlement fund.

I can't bribe a witness in a criminal prosecution.

Don't be naive with me, Mr. Young.

You know exactly what you can do. You know what you can't do. You're the man's

defense attorney. You have a duty to explore every option.

I don't like this one. Why?

Where's your concern?

If it lies with Rabbi Jacobs, you do it because it may spare him criminal

prosecution.

If it lies with you, again, we are not asking you to do anything that you

find a way to do legally.

If it lies with a girl, well, if this goes to trial, we all know what you'll

doing to the girl.

Don't we, Mr. Young?

Please.

I apologize for Stuart.

The skills needed to be a board president differ from those needed to be

rabbi.

You're the one charged with rape.

and you now consider me guilty, don't you?

I think if you tell your story, you'll get convicted.

Does the board know your story?

No. I told them it was consensual, which I maintain it was.

I don't think they need to know more.

Eugene.

You just said, if I testify, I'll be convicted.

What if I don't testify?

I don't like your chances.

So could you at least meet with her civil attorney?

I'm not comfortable with this at all. Neither am I. But see, a man's freedom

on the line here. His life, even.

This is a very beloved rabbi.

I thought you couldn't do this in rape cases.

Dig up old boyfriends of the victim.

I thought there were laws against putting the victim on trial.

We don't plan to do that.

I'll tell you this.

Terry is not a liar.

She's not going to make something like this up. If she says she was raped, then

I believe she was.

It's possible there was a misunderstanding.

A misunderstanding?

About a rape?

We got some information.

Ms. Reynolds, maybe she liked sex on the rougher side.

Are you suggesting maybe she wanted to be raped?

No.

I'm suggesting rough sex.

He thought she liked that.

Would it be possible for him to think that?

Can I help you?

We're here to see Eugene Young.

Scott, hi.

Hi, Eugene.

This should be you and me alone. I don't really think I should have contact with

him. Okay.

We can go to the conference room.

Lucy.

Sir.

I'll just be a few minutes.

Okay.

Can I get you some coffee or something?

I'm fine, thank you.

Thanks for coming in.

I'm a little suspect of the timing, Eugene.

A day before the criminal trial gets underway?

This is only about the civil litigation.

Let's be clear on that.

Okay.

We're offering 1 .2 million sealed. No admission of liability.

Conditioned on a complete and total gag agreement.

If she ever tells her story in any public forum, the deal is off. What

testimony at the criminal trial?

Look, I'm only talking about the civil litigation. I understand, but if she

testifies at the criminal trial, her story would then get out.

Right.

I hadn't thought of that.

The offer would be revoked, I guess.

You hadn't thought of that?

Look, I'm not asking you to advise your client on the criminal trial, but me and

you, off the record, doesn't leave the room?

Go ahead.

Young black woman up against a respected rabbi. No witnesses. Vaginal bruising.

Inconclusive. They're not even calling the doctor up.

Plus, there's some evidence she likes it a little rough.

What? We talked to some old boyfriends. Rape shield, Eugene. Rape shield goes to

putting the victim's character on trial. This goes to a how issue.

I think I can get around rape shield. Eugene, this is absolutely... Scott,

listen.

This is going to be one ugly, mean trial where she can come out with nothing

more than a nightmare.

Now, there's more than a million dollars on the table.

If she suddenly changes her mind about testifying, they'll just subpoena her.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Go talk to her.

What's going on?

They're in my office discussing the offer. Which offer could get you

I was careful I didn't cross the line. Are you sure? Because if she suddenly

tells the DA she doesn't want to prosecute, we can expect a SWAT team to

here. I walked the line.

The offer's rejected.

She was raped, and she's not going to pretend otherwise, even for a million

dollars. Now, I'm going to bring her through.

I don't want you speaking to her.

I wasn't planning to.

So I guess the theory is you're trying to get some money. That's shot.

It can still be argued. The jury won't know anything about this offer.

Settlement discussions are inadmissible.

Can you still argue it knowing it isn't true? We don't know anything, Rebecca.

It could be she turned out a million because she's looking for two.

We don't know anything.

One boyfriend said she liked to get a little physical. He didn't use the word

rough. What about the other boyfriend with two names?

He threatened to call the police if I didn't leave.

Well, I got something anyway.

I'm due at a pre -trial.

You sure you don't want to back up?

I'm fine.

They're bringing in a higher gun DA.

We've been up against him before.

He's tough.

Any good news?

Well, actually, yes. I just came from the pretrial conference.

I told the judge if they introduce any evidence of vaginal bruising, that we'd

be offering evidence of her sexual preferences.

They tried to get it excluded on the rape shield. The judge said he might

it depending on our offer of proof.

Bottom line...

I don't think the DA will go near the medicals. It was inconclusive to begin

with.

That's good.

Are we ready, Mr. Young?

We're ready.

We had first met at a drug counseling center where we both volunteered.

We became friends.

We'd get coffee sometimes after work.

And at some point you became more than friends.

Yes. After a few months, he asked me to go to a movie.

We talked about movies a lot, so...

One time he asked if I'd join him. I said, half -joking, you know, people

think we're dating.

And then he asked, actually he said that he would like that, to date.

And your response?

I said, hello, you're old enough to be my father's minister.

More and more, I don't know, I became infatuated.

At first I thought just with his wisdom, but then with him.

And by six months, we were dating.

Was the relationship physical?

Yes. And it was passionate.

But at some point, things changed.

I met somebody, somebody my own age.

And I, well, I fell in love with him.

Did you tell this to Rabbi Jacobs?

Yes. I went to his office.

And by this time, I know he was very much in love with me.

Objection. Overruled. How did you know this? He told me many times.

Plus, he seemed to be becoming more obsessive.

Objection. Overruled. How did he seem more obsessive? Well, he would want to

me more and more often.

And he'd call sometimes three times a day.

Turning your attention back to that night.

Yes, I went to his office to tell him.

It had to be over.

He became enraged.

We started shouting at one another. You were yelling as well?

Oh, yes.

I had some issues.

But when I made it clear I was really leaving, he just grabbed me.

And he said something like, stop the game.

Stop the game?

He thought that I was trying to work him up into some anger.

Because he thought that I thought it made him a better lover. It was

When you say he grabbed you, By the arms.

I said let go of me, but he wouldn't.

He starts forcing his tongue into my mouth.

I told him no.

Then he pushed me onto the ground.

And he's pushing my dress up.

Were you trying to get away?

Yes. I'm telling him to get off.

Then...

He has me by the wrist, and he's using his knees to push my thighs apart.

And then he was in me.

He was pushing himself inside of me.

Did you yell for help?

I don't really remember.

All I remember thinking, my God, this is one of the kindest.

Most gentle people I've ever met.

And I'm being raped by him.

The man was raping me.

Okay, I gotta pick that testimony apart.

What was she wrong?

I don't believe she was.

I mean, in her mind, I assume that's what happened.

But she didn't scream, Mr. Young. She didn't say, get off me.

She said things like, this is wrong, don't do this.

The difference in your mind being?

For much of our history, in the throes of making love, we would both say things

like that. We shouldn't be doing this. What are we doing?

We went to the head versus heart conflict.

If you see it in a movie, it's romantic even.

Well, this is no movie, and it's not something awful romantic.

I didn't rape her, Mr. Young.

It is possible that she really didn't want to make love and that I was wrong,

but I... We talked after.

And when she was saying it was wrong, she was saying, we shouldn't have done

that. Not you, we.

And she didn't run out.

I can't believe this is happening.

But why not just have him tell her story?

I thought she really wanted it. Resisting was part of the game.

He'll be convicted before he gets out of the chair.

So what are you going to do?

I'll just have to go at her.

Whack her credibility.

What?

She told the truth.

You pretty much know she told the truth. And you're going to get up tomorrow and

do everything you can to make her look like a liar.

I don't have much choice.

How about she's entitled to her story?

He's entitled to his. Let the jury decide.

Do you even see the perversity of what you're about to do?

Look, we haven't done it for months.

If we're going to fight, can we at least argue about something new?

Why does it always have to be about what I do? Do you take stock of what you do?

I don't get to take stock of it. Not on a case -by -case basis.

I have a client charged with a crime.

I take stock of the best way to prevent his getting convicted of that crime.

Here is simple.

attacked the credibility of the eyewitness.

A good man would quit before doing what you're about to do.

I'm sorry, it's true.

She's 23 years old. She was raped by a rabbi. Could you keep your voice down?

you have any idea how hard it must have been for her to come forward?

Now she's about to be brutalized and a witness. I'm not going to brutalize

anybody. Of course you are.

If you think that's the best way to prevent a conviction, that's exactly

you do. And I'm telling you, a good man would quit first.

I think it would be nice to go to dinner.

We go out, and you start. You start right back in again.

I'm a defense attorney, Sharon. You don't have a choice. You have a choice.

what's my choice? Quit my job?

And do what? Do what?

And here's a flash.

I'm well -respected in that courtroom. You know why? Because I'm good.

A judge sees Eugene Young walking to his court, he knows a good lawyer's in the

room. Now, I may not get respect from you, but I get it from them, and I get

in that room.

Is that why you asked me out to dinner tonight?

To get my respect? I asked you out because...

You think these cases are easy for me, Sharon?

Sometimes... Sometimes are harder than others to be alone.

That's what... I remember

the

day you graduated from law school.

The smile on your face,

the plans in your heart. You remember that day, Eugene?

We danced all night.

When was the last time you danced?

It's not just that you don't have the time anymore.

There's no dance in you anymore.

You're beginning to rot a little inside.

Maybe they don't tell you that at work. Maybe they don't see it, but I see it.

I know the man I fell so in love with.

I remember the why you became a lawyer.

The plans in your heart.

Can we please just...

Mr. Young.

Ms. Reynolds, my name is Eugene Young. I represent the defendant.

Yes, I know who you are.

A lot of people in this room.

Stakes are high, I guess. A respected rabbi's face will lose in his freedom

whole life on the word of one witness, you.

So I need to ask you some questions.

Are you a person of your word, Ms. Reynolds?

Yes. Do you consider yourself an honorable person?

Objection. That's an unfair question.

A defendant is allowed to confront his accuser, but the question as to whether

the accuser is honorable, that's off limits?

Counsel is trying to intimidate the witness.

All right.

Mr. Bullock, I'll give defense counsel some latitude here.

Mr. Young, do not abuse it.

The question was... Do you consider yourself an honorable

person? Yes, I do. You honest with people?

I believe I am. In the 11 months you were...

romantically involved with my client.

You ever tell anybody?

Did I ever tell anybody?

Yes. Your parents, your brothers, best friend.

Did you ever tell anybody you were seeing Rabbi Jacobs?

No, because if it ever came out, it would have meant his losing his

Did you ever conceal it from anybody?

Ever say, like, you were going to the movies with friends, and in actuality,

were going to see my client. Did you ever say anything like that? I'm sure I

did. That would be a lie.

Wouldn't it, Ms. Reynolds? I don't deny concealing the affair.

So did he. What about this young man you say you fell in love with?

When you first began dating him, did you tell him that you were in a

relationship with somebody else?

No, I didn't tell him. That's one of the bigger lies, isn't it?

To be involved with two different people at the same time. Your Honor, if he's

going to go this far off, I think he... A witness, by taking the stand, puts her

reputation for truth in issue.

I'm going to rein you in, Mr. Young. You made your point.

Miss Reynolds, you say you met my client at a drug counseling program in which

you both were volunteers. Truth is, you knew of him before then, correct?

Yes. In fact, one of the reasons you went there to volunteer was because

Jacobs was there and you wanted to meet him. Yes, I don't deny that.

He's a pretty famous rabbi, and I knew people who knew him, and I wanted to

him. Well, that isn't quite the impression you gave the jury. From your

testimony, it seemed like you happened to meet him at a place you both worked.

When the truth is, you went to this place motivated to meet him. That's what

really happened, right? I suppose.

Your Honor, with this room being so crowded, it's kind of hot.

With the court's permission, I'd like to take off my jacket.

Permission granted.

Are you comfortable, Miss Reynolds?

I'm fine.

Because this may take a while.

How's it going?

He's just getting started.

He's going to town, Bobby. He's got that look in his eye. Did you ever tell my

client you wanted to be wealthy?

Doesn't everybody?

Did you ever say to him that you'd have to marry money? Since you had two years

junior college, it was unlikely that you'd ever have the kind of career that

would make you rich. Did you say something like that? I certainly never

that I would marry somebody just for money. Did you say for you ever to be

that you would have to marry into money? You're taking that out of context.

The question simply is, did you say it?

Yes, I may have said that once. Thank you. By the way, this new boyfriend of

yours... We're not together anymore.

Thank you. That wasn't my question.

Was he from a wealthy family?

That wasn't the reason I fell in love with him. I'll take that as a yes.

Wealthy family. I really have to object. What does any of this have to do with a

rape? I'll get there if you let me.

Speed it up.

You wanted to marry my client, didn't you, Miss Reynolds?

There was a time I did. And you were frustrated over the whole intermarriage

issue. As you previously testified, you two even fought about it. Isn't that

right? Yes.

And you said while this alleged rape was taking place, you don't remember

screaming. Truth is, you didn't scream. Isn't that right? I don't remember

screaming. That was my testimony.

Well, there were other people working in the building, none of whom heard you

scream. Wouldn't it be more probable than not that you didn't scream?

you agree?

I suppose.

And you said that he had your hands pinned with his hands.

How did he get himself inside of you?

He then freed one of his hands to, I guess, guide himself.

So you had a hand free? Well, he still had me kind of pinned with his shoulder.

His shoulder? It's the first I'm hearing of a shoulder.

Your police statement, the statement to the doctor, even your direct testimony,

you never made mention of a shoulder.

He had me pinned using his hand.

Then he released with one hand and pushed down with his shoulder.

How'd he get your underwear off?

I wasn't wearing underwear.

You weren't wearing underwear.

Well, I had this rather thin knit dress and the panty line show.

You went there to break up with him, but you didn't want your panty line to

show? Objection. Withdrawn. After you finished having sexual relations with...

It was a rape.

It wasn't sexual relations.

After it was over, what'd you do then? I went home.

You didn't run out of the room?

What, did the two of you talk?

We talked.

I told him what he did was wrong.

that he raped me, and then I left.

So you didn't run out of the building?

No. And you went home?

Yes. Did you call the police?

Not at first, because I thought, who's ever going to believe me?

My word against his.

Why wouldn't you think your word would count for anything, Miss Reynolds?

Is there something wrong with your word? No, there isn't. Did you ever go to a

doctor for an examination?

Yes. Did he find any bruising on your wrist?

No, but... Did he find any bruising on your thighs when my client supposedly

pushed against you with his knee?

No. I didn't have any bruises there.

Did you leave any marks on Rabbi Jacobs?

Did I leave any marks? Well, you had a hand free. Did you scratch him or hit

him? Anything?

No. You didn't do any of those things? I just tried to push him off. Oh, this

wasn't a rape, was it, Ms. Reynolds? Yes, it was. You were angry at my client

for refusing to consider marrying you, weren't you? As I said, we fought...

a payback time, isn't it, Ms. Reynolds?

Objection. Have you hired a civil attorney to sue both the rabbi and the

Objection. Goes to motive?

I'll allow it.

Is that your attorney sitting right there, Ms. Reynolds? Yes. He's

you in a lawsuit against the temple. You know this isn't about money. Move to

strike. Non -responsive?

Sustained.

Did you once date a man named Michael Anderson?

Yes. You ended their relationship?

Yes. Was one of the reasons his lack of career ambition?

I told him that, yes. Thank you. You answered the question.

There were a lot of different reasons. You answered the question.

Is this a picture of you in your high school yearbook?

Yes. Could you read the caption under life goals?

To be rich, to be happy, to travel.

Do you have a friend by the name of Susan Levine?

Yes. In fact, you told her about your relationship with Rabbi Jacobs, didn't

you?

Oh, I did tell her at the very beginning. I forgot.

It was under another context. It was when we first started... So you did tell

somebody else about it. That previous statement under oath, that was a lie.

It was a mistake.

Got it. I guess mistakes happen.

Is that the only mistake so far in your testimony?

Yes.

Lucky I caught it, I guess.

I'm done for now.

Miss Reynolds, when you went to the doctor, did he find any bruising?

Yes. He found some vaginal bruising.

Thank you.

Did the doctor find that bruising to be conclusive of non -consensual

intercourse?

No.

Thank you.

Your Honor, the Commonwealth would like to call one more witness who is not on

our lists.

Objection.

Sheila Keenan.

Three years ago, she was raped by Rabbi Jacobs.

There was an out -of -court settlement coupled with an agreement for her to

silent.

I would like to call her to rehabilitate Ms. Reynolds' testimony.

Mr. Young.

Not necessarily. If we limit the scope of the questions...

No chance.

Is that it?

Good. We close tomorrow afternoon.

You weren't going to tell me that little detail?

Pursuant to the court settlement, she's not allowed to speak to anybody. You

were allowed to tell me you left that out? I didn't rape her either.

Things just got out of control.

How much did you pay this Keenan woman?

I'm not sure.

You're not sure?

The synagogue handled it.

On the agenda.

Yes, I am naive after all, Mr. Lewis.

I didn't think it was board business to buy off rape victims. How deep does that

front go, Mr. Lewis?

Now, hold on. No, you hold on.

I'm sure he's a good rabbi. Fills the seats, generates a good cash flow. You

to use the best wood for your pews, build the fanciest temple in town. And

he commits a crime or two, you can pay top dollar to get him off. But here's

what you don't know.

Mr. Young.

I'm talking now.

When it's me you hire, you tell me the truth.

You tell me everything you think I might want to know. You hide facts from me, I

quit. You got that?

You understand me.

Are you finished?

I'm an attorney myself, Mr. Young, so please don't lecture me.

When you take on a case, you take on a duty.

You have no rights bestowed upon you. The client has no obligation to tell you

anything. What he decides to tell you is his choice alone. You take what he

gives you and you make the best of it. We gave you your hand, Mr. Young. You've

played it very nicely.

And don't barge in here threatening to quit because the judge would never let

you out. I could quit just the same and take the contempt finally.

It's not in your character to quit.

You don't think we bothered to check you out?

Now, please, don't tend to your closing arguments.

From where I sit, this whole trial comes down to summations, and I guarantee

you, Gavin Bullock is working on his.

Mr. Young.

When this trial began, I think a lot of people wanted to believe Terry Reynolds

for two reasons.

First, it's become kind of a pastime in this country.

to watch people fall from high places.

It's almost as if it's a spectator sport as far as the media goes. And here you

have one of the most respected rabbis in New England.

A rabbi's rabbi, if you will. For him to be accused of rape, there's just

something delicious about that, isn't there?

Second, there's something so seemingly innocent.

about terry reynolds and good and good people don't make up lies like this we

all want to believe that i want to believe it she could be your daughter

sister she's just not going to make something like this up well i'm not

stand up here and tell you i know terry reynolds i don't neither does the

district attorney he doesn't know her nor do any of you all you get to do here

is weigh her credibility and here's what the evidence tells you about that and

by evidence I mean her very own testimony.

She is a woman who admittedly wants to be wealthy. Going all the way back to

high school where she lifted as a life goal to be rich.

She's a woman who wanted to marry my client.

Testified she was angry with him. Well, one way to punish him and to get rich at

the same time, cry rape. She's already got the civil attorney in place. A

criminal conviction here.

That's money in the bank, isn't it?

The evidence on her truthfulness.

She's in love with one man, but doesn't tell him, by the way, I'm seeing

somebody else.

She testified that she didn't tell anybody about her relationship with

Jacobs. And then when confronted with the truth about telling a friend, she

says, oh yeah, I forgot about that. Is she truthful? I don't know. Like I said,

I don't know her. Neither do any of you.

What about the facts of the case itself?

She's being raped.

She doesn't scream.

No screams, no bruises, no calling the police, no fleeing the scene. Does this

sound like a rape to you?

Would she make it up after as a scheme just to get rich? I don't know.

As I said, a part of us wants to believe her. But when we examine the facts, can

we? I don't know.

I don't know her.

In fact, if there's one uncontroverted truth that we can be certain about, it's

that none of us hear.

Knows her.

That we know.

That.

And that she wants to be rich.

It's not easy being a rape victim these days.

Because the trial system...

It's no longer about arriving at the truth.

Believe it or not, that used to be the idea.

It's about winning and losing.

Now, I'm here to win, I admit it, and so is defense counsel.

Winning means that if you don't have the facts, you attack the one who does.

This is why Mr.

Young has focused himself on getting Terry Reynolds.

He can't offer any testimonial or physical evidence to dispute what she

he'll just get her.

We're talking about a rape, ladies and gentlemen, and he's dredging up her high

school yearbook.

We're talking about a man physically forcing himself inside a young woman,

he's serving up her career ambitions?

He has no defense.

He put on no defense. He chose instead to rape her again in this courtroom.

And he's asked you to be a part of it.

Now, this has got to stop.

She was raped, for God's sake.

He pinned her to the ground and performed a vile act of violence against

That is her testimony, and it goes uncontradicted.

You listen to her.

Did she sound like a liar?

Did she seem like someone who was only looking for money?

Defense counsel is right about one thing.

We offer only her word.

But it's a good word, ladies and gentlemen. They put up nothing to

because she was raped.

It happened.

How dare he put her on trial in this room?

Maybe the time has come to put some of these kinds of defense tactics on trial.

Three times he did it. Three.

I did no such thing. Oh, come on. He says we can't offer testimonial

He says the rapist gets to sit quietly in his chair. He says we put on no

defense. You didn't. He was commenting on the defendant not testifying, which

isn't allowed to do. I am allowed to say you put on no defense.

All right.

It's grounds for a mistrial.

You want a mistrial? I want a stronger instruction than the one you gave. Come

on. I gave an instruction. If I gave it any stronger...

I'd have been hanging out a flag.

Attacking me in your closet? What the hell was that?

What the hell gives you the right to claim any more superiority over me? Who

gave you that? What are you talking about? You know damn well what I'm

about. Counsel, I think you're overreacting here.

Maybe you should take a walk around the building just to sort out what it is

that's got you this angry. I know what got me this angry. He argued that my

client didn't testify.

He came close to doing that. I don't believe he crossed the line.

I believe I protected you with an instruction.

You made your objection on the record. You've preserved it for appeal.

What else are you asking for?

The jury has a verdict.

Will the defendant please rise?

Madam foreperson, you've reached the unanimous verdict?

Yes, we have, Your Honor.

What say you?

In the matter of the Commonwealth v.

Richard Jacobs, on the charge of aggravated rape, we find the defendant,

Jacobs, not guilty.

Oh, dear God.

Thank you, Mr. Young.

Thank you.

Don't date, Robert.

Do you think the money was motivating facts for her? The jury reached a

which satisfied justice.

There's some speculation that she was trying to get pregnant. Do you have an

opinion on that?

No. Mr. Young, what about Rabbi Jacobs?

Get out of my way!

We have no comment! We have no comment!

We have no comment!

Mr. Young, what about the congregation?

Rabbi Jacobs!

Thanks.

Yeah. Congratulations, I guess.

What are you doing down here, Sharon?

Trying to get custody again or something?

I thought you might want some company.

Dinner, maybe.
