That's the particular bone of contention here. 82 00:06:51,870 --> 00:06:55,410 For being sufficient and probable cause to believe a crime has been committed, 83 00:06:55,510 --> 00:06:56,950 defendant will be held to answer. 84 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:04,120 Trial set in Department 137, November the 3rd at 9 a .m. 85 00:07:04,900 --> 00:07:09,760 Released O .R.?

I just wanted you to know that not everybody in law school just 116 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:52,360 about money. 117 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:53,480 I mean... 118 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,500 If defending the ruling class interest is what it's all about, I don't think I 119 00:08:57,500 --> 00:09:00,280 want to be a part of it. I mean, being a good lawyer necessitates having to 120 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,420 competently argue either side of the same case. 121 00:09:04,580 --> 00:09:07,740 How do you do a good job and still hold on to your values? 122 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,120 I don't eat. 123 00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:14,320 I got no pep for the business. 124 00:09:15,340 --> 00:09:16,860 The doctors put me on sedatives. 125 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,560 Divorce is a dislocation, Mr. Lewis. 126 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:21,840 Like an injury, it... 127 00:09:22,170 --> 00:09:23,650 It takes time to heal. 128 00:09:23,890 --> 00:09:24,890 You don't understand. 129 00:09:25,570 --> 00:09:28,590 Without her, I can't get up in the morning. I want to cancel the settlement 130 00:09:28,590 --> 00:09:31,510 meeting. Let me give you a couple of reasons why that's not a good idea. 131 00:09:32,450 --> 00:09:35,470 I had one of our private detectives do a check on your wife's boyfriend. 132 00:09:37,710 --> 00:09:38,710 Here's a rap sheet. 133 00:09:39,270 --> 00:09:43,350 We also found this, a pawn ticket for a piece of your wife's jewelry. 134 00:09:45,650 --> 00:09:47,810 She pawned the gold Rolex with the diamonds? 135 00:09:48,410 --> 00:09:49,630 Do you know what I paid for that? 136 00:09:49,850 --> 00:09:52,870 They're paying their hotel expenses on your credit card, their room service. 137 00:09:53,110 --> 00:09:57,730 She's infatuated. It'll burn itself out. Human nature is a pretty tricky piece 138 00:09:57,730 --> 00:09:58,569 of machinery. 139 00:09:58,570 --> 00:10:01,950 See, you think if you treat her like a princess, you hand over the cookie jar, 140 00:10:02,090 --> 00:10:06,670 she'll be devoted to you. But she's like a child. She wants you to set limits. 141 00:10:06,990 --> 00:10:10,630 I don't know anything about that. All I know is I want my wife back. And I want 142 00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:11,630 you to have her back. 143 00:10:13,250 --> 00:10:15,230 Look, you're older. 144 00:10:15,820 --> 00:10:19,700 And you're wiser than I am, Mr. Lewis. But in this one area, I do know my 145 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,400 But you're going to have to shut down the gravy train. 146 00:10:25,300 --> 00:10:28,120 Otherwise, she's got your money. 147 00:10:29,220 --> 00:10:30,220 She's got the guy. 148 00:10:31,060 --> 00:10:32,340 There's nothing to motivate her. 149 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,120 How do we do that? 150 00:10:34,380 --> 00:10:38,800 Well, briefly, Irving, the reason we settled with the IRS was to characterize 151 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,660 those monies you placed in service of your wife's holding corporation as 152 00:10:41,660 --> 00:10:42,660 personal loans. 153 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,720 Bottom line, and depending on which set of figures they go with, if she insists 154 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,400 on divorcing you, either you won't owe her anything or she's going to owe you 155 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:51,400 nearly a million bucks. 156 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:52,800 This is legal? 157 00:10:53,020 --> 00:10:56,060 Absolutely. You just paid $1 .8 million to assure it. 158 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,560 Scoundrels. This will get us back together? 159 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,220 Believe me, Mr. Lewis, we know what we're doing. 160 00:11:04,460 --> 00:11:07,060 Tomorrow, day after, 2 o 'clock. 161 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:08,360 Now I feel better. 162 00:11:18,660 --> 00:11:22,040 Oh, Iris, Mr. Sullivan will be joining us as a clerk. 163 00:11:22,460 --> 00:11:25,020 He'll be working here afternoons after school. 164 00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:26,500 How nice. 165 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,080 He'll need paper, pens, supplies, or a telephone. Anything at all you need, 166 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,300 will be happy to assist you. 167 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:33,760 That'll be great. 168 00:11:37,420 --> 00:11:42,240 And after observing the dead body of Billy Simmons, age 18, did you have 169 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,300 occasion to arrest his sister, Tracy Simmons, for the murder? Yes, I did. 170 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,260 And then what happened? I read the defendant her constitutional rights, at 171 00:11:51,260 --> 00:11:54,420 time she waived her rights and told me she wanted to talk to me without a 172 00:11:54,420 --> 00:11:55,860 lawyer. And did she make a statement? 173 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,520 She said she killed her brother with her father's gun. 174 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,060 Thank you. No further questions. 175 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:01,960 Cross. 176 00:12:02,580 --> 00:12:06,000 Thank you. Officer Castellano, did Tracy tell you why she killed her brother? 177 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,100 Something about having an argument with him. Did she mention his trying to rape 178 00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:11,920 her? She said a lot of things kind of rambling on. It was hard to understand 179 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,100 her. Isn't it true, officer, that she said that when her brother tried to 180 00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:16,860 assault her, she shot him in self -defense? 181 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,740 No, not in those words. 182 00:12:18,940 --> 00:12:20,940 But that was the gist of it, wasn't it? 183 00:12:21,460 --> 00:12:22,960 Yes.
