I look forward to working with all of you, 101 00:06:30,140 --> 00:06:33,760 and as soon as I pass the California bar, I'm sure I'll actually be of some 102 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:34,519 around here. 103 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,640 Don't worry, Eli. We'll keep you busy. Yes, we will. And on that note, 104 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,280 versus Walters, the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles Unified 105 00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:46,980 District. What is this? A 10 -year -old girl, as part of the school's drug 106 00:06:46,980 --> 00:06:50,060 awareness program, brings in some pot that her father was growing. 107 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,640 He gets arrested, serves time. The kid's in therapy. Parents are suing for 108 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,180 damages. How does the father justify the fact that he was using drugs? 109 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,800 He doesn't. He doesn't have to. If his child was encouraged to inform on her 110 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,000 parents, and as a result the family's privacy and civil rights were violated 111 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,060 the child was traumatized, the fact that they smoked pot seems a little 112 00:07:10,060 --> 00:07:13,800 insignificant, don't you think? No, I don't. If the parents were using drugs, 113 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,940 think it indicates that they were derelict in their duties as parents. It 114 00:07:16,940 --> 00:07:19,520 pot. It wasn't heroin. It wasn't cocaine. 115 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:25,180 Pot. Pot is a drug. Pot certainly is a drug. You've smoked a little reefer in 116 00:07:25,180 --> 00:07:26,700 your time, haven't you, Ernie? Yes, I did. 117 00:07:27,050 --> 00:07:30,630 There was a time in my life when I smoked pot, when I drank to excess, when 118 00:07:30,630 --> 00:07:33,530 fornicated, when I engaged in debauchery of many forms. 119 00:07:33,910 --> 00:07:36,950 I'm happy to say those days are behind me. Stuart, you have a call. 120 00:07:37,170 --> 00:07:40,990 Who is it? He won't say who it is, just that it's very important. Would you like 121 00:07:40,990 --> 00:07:41,969 me to get rid of him? 122 00:07:41,970 --> 00:07:44,790 Oh, no, no, I'll take it over there, thanks. What do you attribute this 123 00:07:44,790 --> 00:07:46,450 transformation to, Arnie? 124 00:07:46,670 --> 00:07:53,170 The arrogance of pride, the pleasures of lust, the poisons of vain curiosity are 125 00:07:53,170 --> 00:07:56,210 the impulses of a soul that is dead. 126 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,160 St. Augustine. God, will these quotations never cease? 127 00:08:00,580 --> 00:08:03,420 Oh, hi. I was just thinking about it. You don't know how to get hold of Jack 128 00:08:03,420 --> 00:08:04,900 Michelin?

My daughter Emily was sitting in the back 137 00:08:38,090 --> 00:08:41,090 one of the police cars, and when she saw me, she started to cry. 138 00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:45,830 What, if anything, did you do? I tried to open the door, but before I could do 139 00:08:45,830 --> 00:08:48,330 that, three cops came out of my house. They slammed me against the car and told 140 00:08:48,330 --> 00:08:49,330 me I was under arrest. 141 00:08:50,270 --> 00:08:53,070 They handcuffed me in front of my daughter. 142 00:08:53,910 --> 00:08:56,610 They wouldn't let me talk to her, and she was hysterical by then. 143 00:08:57,420 --> 00:09:00,740 And all the time she's trying to get out of the car, but she can't because there 144 00:09:00,740 --> 00:09:02,480 aren't any handles on the inside of the doors. 145 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:03,940 What were you charged with? 146 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,740 Cultivating marijuana, ten plants worth. And what was the outcome of those 147 00:09:07,740 --> 00:09:10,120 charges? I was convicted and I served six months in jail. 148 00:09:11,220 --> 00:09:12,500 My wife was given probation. 149 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,740 I lost my job, she lost hers. 150 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,300 What happened to your daughter? 151 00:09:17,540 --> 00:09:20,740 The first thing that happened was that she was placed into a foster home. 152 00:09:22,660 --> 00:09:25,780 It was felt that she would be abused. 153 00:09:26,460 --> 00:09:27,800 For having reported us. 154 00:09:28,420 --> 00:09:31,880 Would you describe the effect all this had on your daughter? 155 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,400 She used to be a real front -of -the -line kind of kid. 156 00:09:35,940 --> 00:09:39,000 She was always real excited about everything. She was always asking a 157 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,700 questions. But now she doesn't even want to go to school or talk to her friends. 158 00:09:42,860 --> 00:09:48,000 She sees a police car and she hides. And she cannot bear to be left alone. 159 00:09:50,060 --> 00:09:55,880 Her whole world is different. She is 10 years old and her whole world... is 160 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:56,859 different. 161 00:09:56,860 --> 00:09:59,240 Thank you, Mr. Gelliher. I have no further questions. 162 00:09:59,740 --> 00:10:04,640 Do you take any responsibility at all for the trauma your child and family 163 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,120 gone through? I take responsibility for growing marijuana. 164 00:10:07,460 --> 00:10:11,640 I do not take responsibility for scaring my child into thinking that anybody who 165 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,740 uses marijuana is either going to die or become a heroin addict. 166 00:10:14,980 --> 00:10:18,140 And I do not take responsibility for turning my child against her parents. 167 00:10:18,420 --> 00:10:20,240 Where did you grow the plant, sir? 168 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:21,780 In a locked room in the basement. 169 00:10:22,020 --> 00:10:23,980 Did you tell her you kept pot in there? 170 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,360 I did not. Did you and your wife ever smoke pot in front of her? No, we did 171 00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:29,219 Why not? 172 00:10:29,220 --> 00:10:30,420 Because she's ten years old. 173 00:10:30,700 --> 00:10:33,620 My wife and I don't have sex in front of our daughter, and we don't discuss our 174 00:10:33,620 --> 00:10:36,480 financial problems in front of her either. I was only trying to protect her 175 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,180 something that I don't think she's old enough to understand. 176 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,820 When is a child old enough to understand her parents are breaking the law, Mr. 177 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,220 Gellar? Parents break the law all the time, Ms. Halber. 178 00:10:46,540 --> 00:10:50,560 Sometimes they may drive too fast, or they put an extension on the garage 179 00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:51,620 without a proper permit. 180 00:10:52,140 --> 00:10:54,760 Or they throw a can of motor oil into the garbage. 181 00:10:54,980 --> 00:10:57,460 That doesn't give them the right to send the police into the classrooms to 182 00:10:57,460 --> 00:11:00,700 manipulate the children into turning in their parents. Have you ever considered 183 00:11:00,700 --> 00:11:05,440 the possibility that your daughter wasn't manipulated at all? That she 184 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,840 the intervention of authorities because she was concerned about her parents? 185 00:11:10,250 --> 00:11:12,650 Drug use. Objection. Compound and irrelevant. 186 00:11:13,110 --> 00:11:17,170 There were two and a half ounces of marijuana found in the house. That's it. 187 00:11:17,190 --> 00:11:21,470 Period. I would just like somebody to explain to me how that justifies what he 188 00:11:21,470 --> 00:11:25,770 did to my family. I want someone to explain to me how that justifies what he 189 00:11:25,770 --> 00:11:26,409 to my kids. 190 00:11:26,410 --> 00:11:28,970 Sir, you will control yourself in my courtroom. 191 00:11:31,230 --> 00:11:34,270 Miss Haber, I have no further questions. 192 00:11:44,079 --> 00:11:44,879 Hi, Barry. 193 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:45,880 Hi, 194 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,440 Stuart. 195 00:11:47,460 --> 00:11:48,460 So what's going on? 196 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:50,880 Anybody know you're here? 197 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,880 No. You sure?

It's because I'm a fugitive. 203 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,060 I've been a fugitive since 1968. 204 00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:16,100 What do you mean? 205 00:12:18,780 --> 00:12:22,960 I was involved in a prison escape of a Black Panther named Horace Washington. 206 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:24,400 Guard was killed. 207 00:12:24,580 --> 00:12:25,580 Horace was killed. 208 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:27,840 I supplied the getaway car. 209 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:35,180 What are you telling me? I took off. I hid out in Europe. I hid out in Algeria. 210 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,300 About 1975, I came back. 211 00:12:37,820 --> 00:12:38,920 Wait a minute, Barry. 212 00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:40,700 You're a nice Jewish boy. 213 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:41,599 I know. 214 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,380 You built a business, you started a family, and the whole time you were a 215 00:12:44,380 --> 00:12:48,160 fugitive?

Attorney by yourself, Stuart. 259 00:15:03,390 --> 00:15:05,490 He asked me specifically to go by myself. 260 00:15:05,810 --> 00:15:06,749 That's insane. 261 00:15:06,750 --> 00:15:09,290 And when it comes time to agree to terms, I'll get help. 262 00:15:09,550 --> 00:15:11,510 Today, I'm just going to listen. I know how to do that. 263 00:15:23,290 --> 00:15:24,290 See you tomorrow. 264 00:15:25,790 --> 00:15:27,010 Hey, how you doing? 265 00:15:27,270 --> 00:15:28,229 Fine, thanks. 266 00:15:28,230 --> 00:15:29,230 Do you have an appointment? 267 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,500 Uh, no.

Hi, Denise. 293 00:16:41,610 --> 00:16:44,050 How do you do? Do you have any questions before we get started? 294 00:16:44,530 --> 00:16:48,810 Um, is Harvey Keitel really playing the part? 295 00:16:49,190 --> 00:16:50,190 Yes, he is. 296 00:16:50,290 --> 00:16:52,030 Oh, I love Harvey Keitel. 297 00:16:52,630 --> 00:16:53,630 Harvey's great. 298 00:16:53,730 --> 00:16:56,490 Yeah. Do you have any questions about the character? 299 00:16:56,970 --> 00:17:01,530 Um, not really. I mean, she's like most of my New York girlfriends, so... I'll 300 00:17:01,530 --> 00:17:02,530 be reading with you. 301 00:17:04,980 --> 00:17:07,040 Where'd you go last night? What do you care? 302 00:17:07,660 --> 00:17:08,660 Just tell me. 303 00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:09,700 I went out with Teresa. 304 00:17:09,980 --> 00:17:10,980 I'm going to stop you. 305 00:17:11,380 --> 00:17:14,440 I'd like you to try it again, and I'd like you to try it with less fear. 306 00:17:15,420 --> 00:17:17,339 Also, I'd like you to dial back the accent. 307 00:17:17,819 --> 00:17:19,099 Dial back...

I heard you were dancing with Sam at the club. 310 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,520 You and me ain't going out no more, so I don't got to tell you nothing. 311 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,080 Get used to it, Angelo. 312 00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:33,480 I'm not just leaving you. I'm leaving this whole... 313 00:17:33,820 --> 00:17:34,759 Stinking neighborhood. 314 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,240 I don't want to live in a two -family house with a husband who thinks that I 315 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,920 should kiss his ring just because he gives me a second -hand Camaro. I got 316 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,260 bigger hopes and bigger dreams, and I'm not going to see any of them come true 317 00:17:45,260 --> 00:17:48,760 if I stay here. I'm going to make something of myself, Angelo. I'm going 318 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,000 happy. I'm going to live on Long Island. 319 00:17:52,500 --> 00:17:53,560 That was incredible. 320 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,000 It really was. 321 00:17:55,020 --> 00:17:56,800 Yeah? Oh, thank you. 322 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,240 Thanks. 323 00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:00,360 Thank you. 324 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,160 Dr. Walsh. 325 00:18:02,650 --> 00:18:06,250 Will you tell the court what Emily's condition was when her mother first 326 00:18:06,250 --> 00:18:09,210 her to see you? She was suffering from a rather severe trauma. 327 00:18:09,450 --> 00:18:13,530 Her father was in jail, and her mother was confused and frightened. And Emily 328 00:18:13,530 --> 00:18:15,930 felt responsible for all of it. How is she today? 329 00:18:16,370 --> 00:18:19,710 Well, she's less anxious than she was, but her sense of security is still 330 00:18:19,710 --> 00:18:20,990 extremely fragile. 331 00:18:21,570 --> 00:18:25,390 She's afraid to depend on or trust anyone, especially authority figures. 332 00:18:25,630 --> 00:18:30,230 The world is full of danger for her. Do you have anything against the idea of 333 00:18:30,230 --> 00:18:31,530 drug education for children? 334 00:18:31,870 --> 00:18:36,670 No, I don't. But I think that a curriculum that depicts every drug user 335 00:18:36,670 --> 00:18:39,810 in mortal danger and that manipulates children into a state of heightened 336 00:18:39,810 --> 00:18:43,530 anxiety does a lot more harm than good. What kind of harm does it do? 337 00:18:43,730 --> 00:18:47,870 It forces a child like Emily into having to choose between her parents and her 338 00:18:47,870 --> 00:18:51,390 teacher at a time in her life when she desperately wants approval from both. 339 00:18:51,630 --> 00:18:56,610 And, Doctor, what, in your opinion, was responsible for the psychological harm 340 00:18:56,610 --> 00:18:58,230 done to this family? 341 00:18:58,430 --> 00:19:01,110 The fact that their unity as a family was destroyed. 342 00:19:01,590 --> 00:19:05,970 Emily was encouraged to believe that her parents were going to leave her, either 343 00:19:05,970 --> 00:19:10,170 by going to prison or by dying. She wanted to protect them. Is that in and 344 00:19:10,170 --> 00:19:11,490 itself an abnormal impulse? 345 00:19:11,850 --> 00:19:15,610 No, it is not. And had she been encouraged to talk to her parents, then 346 00:19:15,610 --> 00:19:19,410 fears could, in all likelihood, have been quieted without the resulting 347 00:19:19,970 --> 00:19:24,930 Instead, she was encouraged to confide in Officer Walters. She did so, and her 348 00:19:24,930 --> 00:19:25,930 father was sent to prison. 349 00:19:26,130 --> 00:19:27,910 Thank you. I have nothing further. 350 00:19:28,540 --> 00:19:33,340 Dr. Walsh, in your practice, you see a number of children from abusive home 351 00:19:33,340 --> 00:19:35,000 situations. Is that correct? 352 00:19:35,260 --> 00:19:36,260 Objection irrelevant. 353 00:19:36,380 --> 00:19:39,120 The Gellohers' home was never in any way found to be abusive. 354 00:19:39,420 --> 00:19:42,960 Your Honor, one of the things we're here to determine is whether or not it was 355 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,020 reasonable for Officer Walters to believe it was abusive. 356 00:19:47,500 --> 00:19:49,780 I'll allow it. Witness will answer the question. 357 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,860 Yes, many of my patients are from abusive homes. And isn't it true that 358 00:19:54,860 --> 00:19:57,800 alcohol are almost always part of those abusive situations? 359 00:19:58,300 --> 00:20:03,300 Alcohol and drugs are frequently present in abusive situations, but it is not a 360 00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:04,460 cause -and -effect relationship. 361 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,480 Alcohol and drugs do not automatically lead to abuse. 362 00:20:07,740 --> 00:20:12,460 But with the correlation so high, is it unreasonable for a teacher, even a part 363 00:20:12,460 --> 00:20:16,840 -time teacher like Officer Walters, to fear an abusive situation when a student 364 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:22,050 reveals his or her parents are using illegal drugs? It's a lot more 365 00:20:22,050 --> 00:20:24,810 than that. Please answer my question, Doctor. 366 00:20:25,050 --> 00:20:30,070 Is it reasonable for someone who works with children to suspect abuse when a 367 00:20:30,070 --> 00:20:33,070 child reveals illegal drug use in her home? 368 00:20:34,390 --> 00:20:39,710 It's not necessarily unreasonable, but I would say one has to look to other 369 00:20:39,710 --> 00:20:41,770 outward signs of behavior... Thank you, Doctor. 370 00:20:42,170 --> 00:20:43,810 I have no further questions. 371 00:20:50,379 --> 00:20:54,280 Hmm.

Maybe you ought to 742 00:41:12,460 --> 00:41:13,460 start copying them. 743 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,620 Benny, can I tell you something just between me and you? 744 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:25,520 Uh -huh. 745 00:41:25,860 --> 00:41:27,880 I couldn't believe they didn't want me either. 746 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,640 When I was there, they acted like they loved me. 747 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:33,500 I mean, the director, he couldn't get over it. 748 00:41:34,130 --> 00:41:35,130 And then nothing. 749 00:41:35,330 --> 00:41:38,430 I mean, I had to call them to find out I didn't get it. They didn't even call 750 00:41:38,430 --> 00:41:39,430 me. I had to call them. 751 00:41:39,790 --> 00:41:40,850 I couldn't believe it. 752 00:41:41,790 --> 00:41:46,390 You know, it's weird. I never considered being an actress until that day at the 753 00:41:46,390 --> 00:41:47,390 stationery store. 754 00:41:47,790 --> 00:41:49,930 You know, even the audition seemed like a big goof. 755 00:41:51,030 --> 00:41:55,290 You know, when they told me I didn't get it, I was, like, crushed. 756 00:41:56,390 --> 00:41:58,430 You know, it was like something I wanted my whole life. 757 00:42:00,110 --> 00:42:01,110 Stupid, huh? 758 00:42:05,100 --> 00:42:06,140 I don't think that's stupid. 759 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:07,480 Huh? 760 00:42:08,140 --> 00:42:09,140 No. 761 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:13,560 Thanks, Daddy. 762 00:42:15,240 --> 00:42:20,160 All rise. United States of America versus Jay Ellison. Please be seated. 763 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,680 John Shale, Your Honor, representing the United States government. 764 00:42:24,900 --> 00:42:26,380 Jonathan Rollins, representing the defendant. 765 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,080 What are the charges, Mr. Shale? Unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. 766 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,360 aiding and abetting the escape of a prisoner, and conspiracy to murder a 767 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:35,360 correctional officer. 768 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:40,160 What? Stuart. Your Honor, I was lied to. I sat with Mr. Shale not two days ago 769 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,700 and was told by him the only charge contemplated was aiding and abetting. 770 00:42:43,700 --> 00:42:47,300 you identify yourself, sir? Yes, my name is Stuart Markowitz. I'm a member of 771 00:42:47,300 --> 00:42:48,300 Mr. Rollins' firm. 772 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:52,000 Your Honor, no guarantees of any kind were made during my conversation with 773 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,760 Markowitz. But representations were made, Your Honor. The opportunity was 774 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,700 to be provided for me to arrange a surrender. 775 00:42:58,170 --> 00:43:01,470 And no one said anything about conspiracy to commit murder. And no one 776 00:43:01,470 --> 00:43:05,090 anything about the FBI following me in order to rob my client of his chance to 777 00:43:05,090 --> 00:43:08,910 surrender. Mr. Markowitz, I don't know how much experience you have as a 778 00:43:08,910 --> 00:43:12,050 criminal attorney, but the fact is no one had to say anything. 779 00:43:13,750 --> 00:43:15,550 Is the defendant ready to enter a plea? 780 00:43:17,110 --> 00:43:18,970 I am, Your Honor. How do you plea? 781 00:43:19,270 --> 00:43:20,270 Not guilty. 782 00:43:20,330 --> 00:43:21,690 Application for bail, Your Honor. 783 00:43:22,170 --> 00:43:25,650 application for bail. This man has substantial roots in the community. He 784 00:43:25,650 --> 00:43:29,250 family. The man has been a fugitive. He was ready to turn himself in, Your 785 00:43:29,250 --> 00:43:30,630 Honor. He was denied that opportunity. 786 00:43:30,990 --> 00:43:35,950 He has had 25 years in order to turn himself in. He has proven himself to be 787 00:43:35,950 --> 00:43:40,170 flight risk, Your Honor. The government strenuously opposes his release on bail, 788 00:43:40,290 --> 00:43:42,010 regardless of any amount set. 789 00:43:42,250 --> 00:43:44,370 The issue of bail will be taken under advisement. 790 00:43:44,710 --> 00:43:49,630 In the meantime... I suggest that you, Mr. Rollins, and you, Mr. Markowitz, 791 00:43:49,810 --> 00:43:53,870 determine who it is that's going to be trying this case, because it's not going 792 00:43:53,870 --> 00:43:54,910 to be both of you. 793 00:44:03,830 --> 00:44:04,970 What was that? Sorry. 794 00:44:05,210 --> 00:44:08,570 You think I'm going to miss something? Jonathan, I said I was sorry. I thought 795 00:44:08,570 --> 00:44:11,310 there were things that needed to be said, so I said them. In the future, I'd 796 00:44:11,310 --> 00:44:12,710 appreciate it if you said them to me. 797 00:44:13,319 --> 00:44:17,640 write me a note, whisper in my ear, and if necessary, I will ask for a recess. 798 00:44:17,780 --> 00:44:20,880 But don't you ever do that to me in front of a judge. Jonathan, I wasn't 799 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,680 to show you up. I was trying to help our client. That's what I'm trying to do, 800 00:44:23,720 --> 00:44:26,900 too, Stuart. And I think maybe our client would be better served if you 801 00:44:26,900 --> 00:44:28,020 didn't come to court. 802 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:29,280 That I didn't come altogether? 803 00:44:29,540 --> 00:44:31,440 That's right. You're emotionally involved in the case, Stuart. 804 00:44:31,780 --> 00:44:34,780 You're not a trial lawyer, and I don't need anybody backing me up in there. I 805 00:44:34,780 --> 00:44:35,769 understand, Simpson. 806 00:44:35,770 --> 00:44:39,230 I got enlisted in this case because this man was my client and because he is my 807 00:44:39,230 --> 00:44:42,890 friend. And then, unfortunately, because of something I did, I made matters 808 00:44:42,890 --> 00:44:46,590 worse for him. I intend to see this through. I will be in court. I will be 809 00:44:46,590 --> 00:44:49,410 involved in everything that happens outside of court. Nothing will happen 810 00:44:49,410 --> 00:44:52,230 pertaining to this case that I don't know about. And this is not Markowitz, a 811 00:44:52,230 --> 00:44:53,230 tax attorney. 812 00:44:53,270 --> 00:44:55,350 This is Markowitz, the partner in your firm. 813 00:44:58,270 --> 00:44:59,410 Am I emotionally involved? 814 00:45:01,250 --> 00:45:03,070 Like it was me sitting in that jail cell.
