I'm all ears. 195 00:12:16,910 --> 00:12:18,750 Look, get him declared incompetent for now. 196 00:12:19,310 --> 00:12:21,990 Three or four months down the road, he's judged competent again. 197 00:12:22,230 --> 00:12:25,390 By that time, the victim's memories fade a little. You have a better chance of 198 00:12:25,390 --> 00:12:26,389 shaking her up at trial. 199 00:12:26,390 --> 00:12:30,470 Yeah, but in the meantime, Benny rots in the rubber room. Beach doing 15 at 200 00:12:30,470 --> 00:12:32,970 Vacaville. Hey, look, we are talking about Benny, okay? 201 00:12:33,650 --> 00:12:36,890 He could not have done this. I know this man. He does not have an aggressive 202 00:12:36,890 --> 00:12:37,890 bone in his body. 203 00:12:38,170 --> 00:12:41,270 Judging from the evidence, I'd say at least one of his bones was a little 204 00:12:41,270 --> 00:12:42,330 contentious. Douglas! 205 00:12:42,650 --> 00:12:46,250 Look, Arnie's right about one thing. If Benny gets locked up anywhere, he's not 206 00:12:46,250 --> 00:12:47,250 going to recover. 207 00:12:47,430 --> 00:12:51,870 He's already deteriorated after one night. The main thing is to get him out 208 00:12:51,870 --> 00:12:55,130 back here before he goes further into the dumper. Hold on. 209 00:12:55,370 --> 00:12:57,110 I don't think you should bring him back here. 210 00:12:57,390 --> 00:12:58,430 Where else is he going to go? 211 00:12:59,020 --> 00:13:02,720 I don't know, but if we turn him loose and our employee and he attacks anybody 212 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,940 in the building, we could be sued right out of business. 213 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,740 Leland, he didn't do this. He is a good person. 214 00:13:08,020 --> 00:13:13,060 I'm not disputing his goodness, but let's face it. None of us really knows 215 00:13:13,060 --> 00:13:14,920 Benny knows when it comes to sex. 216 00:13:15,700 --> 00:13:17,660 Maybe he didn't think what he did was bad. 217 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,480 So we're just going to abandon him? No, but neither are we going to expose this 218 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:23,480 firm to a lawsuit. 219 00:13:25,460 --> 00:13:26,680 Put up the bail, Michael. 220 00:13:26,910 --> 00:13:31,650 But unless he is completely cleared, Benny doesn't work here anymore. 221 00:13:31,890 --> 00:13:32,890 I'm sorry. 222 00:13:41,310 --> 00:13:42,310 Hi. 223 00:13:45,990 --> 00:13:47,870 Hey. How's it going with the flying Gianelli? 224 00:13:48,090 --> 00:13:49,650 It's actually kind of an interesting case. 225 00:13:49,950 --> 00:13:51,530 Do you want to hear some thoughts I have on strategy? 226 00:13:51,870 --> 00:13:55,230 Do you have any idea how long people leave these things in? Frozen burrito, 227 00:13:55,330 --> 00:13:56,330 about two minutes. 228 00:14:02,030 --> 00:14:04,370 Anyway, how about a cross -claim against the circus? 229 00:14:04,690 --> 00:14:07,910 It could be that they were negligent in providing the dimensions of the tent or 230 00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:08,950 where the seats were positioned. 231 00:14:09,810 --> 00:14:12,530 That's interesting, but I've come up with something along a slightly 232 00:14:12,530 --> 00:14:13,670 tack. Really? What? 233 00:14:13,990 --> 00:14:16,270 Tell you what. The plaintiff's deficit is tomorrow. 234 00:14:16,870 --> 00:14:17,870 Come on by. 235 00:14:18,490 --> 00:14:19,590 I'll try and find the time. 236 00:14:20,590 --> 00:14:22,430 Great. It should be a hell of a show. 237 00:14:33,079 --> 00:14:34,140 This session's in order. 238 00:14:34,500 --> 00:14:36,160 People versus John Simpson. 239 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:38,999 Not alarm. 240 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,620 I'm sorry. You want to go from conference? 241 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:41,880 Get him stuck now. 242 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,920 Lafferty Academy? I won't fight it. No, but I've got to get him out of here. 243 00:14:45,020 --> 00:14:47,480 I'll fight him tomorrow. You think he's fit enough to stand trial? 244 00:14:48,020 --> 00:14:51,260 Well, I will make that decision later. And meanwhile, you want him on the 245 00:14:51,260 --> 00:14:52,249 street. 246 00:14:52,250 --> 00:14:55,210 Ralph, I know this guy. If I don't get him out of lockup, the damage to his 247 00:14:55,210 --> 00:14:57,810 psyche will be irreversible. Just give me bail, I can make it. 248 00:14:58,050 --> 00:14:58,969 Come on, I know you. 249 00:14:58,970 --> 00:15:01,590 You're going to get him outside today by using him. He's got all his marbles. 250 00:15:01,590 --> 00:15:02,129 They're okay. 251 00:15:02,130 --> 00:15:06,130 As trial day comes, you'll be back cleaning insanity, huh? People versus 252 00:15:06,130 --> 00:15:08,630 Stolwitz? Let's let him decide, okay? 253 00:15:11,270 --> 00:15:12,270 Is the council here? 254 00:15:15,729 --> 00:15:18,350 Michael Kuzak for the defendant, Your Honor. Wave reading. 255 00:15:18,590 --> 00:15:19,449 Plead not guilty. 256 00:15:19,450 --> 00:15:22,950 Question of bail, Judge. We've got violence, sexual deviance, threat to 257 00:15:22,950 --> 00:15:26,250 safety. My client has no record, Your Honor, no history of sexual violence. 258 00:15:26,310 --> 00:15:30,270 Strong roots in the community. Lives alone, no family, no money. He's an 259 00:15:30,270 --> 00:15:33,030 employee of my law firm, Your Honor, and I can attest to his reliability. 260 00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:37,130 This is an isolated incident of alleged violence. Serious violence, Judge. This 261 00:15:37,130 --> 00:15:38,130 man is dangerous. 262 00:15:38,290 --> 00:15:39,290 He's not dangerous. 263 00:15:39,630 --> 00:15:42,970 I know him. This is the first defense, Your Honor. There's no threat to the 264 00:15:42,970 --> 00:15:45,590 public safety. No chance that my client will miss the trial. 265 00:15:45,890 --> 00:15:48,030 And O .R. is certainly in order. 266 00:15:48,270 --> 00:15:49,590 It's not in my order, Mr. Cousin. 267 00:15:50,830 --> 00:15:53,830 There's some indication of mental incompetence here. And I'm not inclined 268 00:15:53,830 --> 00:15:55,350 the defendant back on the street without supervision. 269 00:15:56,590 --> 00:15:59,210 Well, I would agree to exercise such supervision, Your Honor. 270 00:15:59,550 --> 00:16:03,450 And so far as my client is already emotionally debilitated from this 271 00:16:03,450 --> 00:16:06,010 think that further lockup could cause irreparable harm. 272 00:16:06,350 --> 00:16:10,370 I respectfully urge personal recognizance or, in the alternative, a 273 00:16:10,370 --> 00:16:11,370 bail. 274 00:16:14,190 --> 00:16:16,310 $15 ,000 with the condition of supervision. 275 00:16:16,590 --> 00:16:18,210 The clerk will draw up the order. Next case. 276 00:16:19,830 --> 00:16:23,490 Hang in there, Benny. We're going to get you out. 277 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,720 I don't know. 278 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,880 Stuart likes it a lot, but I'm not sure if it's really me. Come on, let me see 279 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:35,880 it already. 280 00:16:38,660 --> 00:16:39,940 You look gorgeous. 281 00:16:41,060 --> 00:16:42,300 And notice the detailing. 282 00:16:43,020 --> 00:16:46,340 Victorian lace, bead pearls at the neckline. 283 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,480 Don't you think I could get away with my beige silk suit? 284 00:16:49,700 --> 00:16:52,300 Ann, come on, you're only going to do this thing once. 285 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,020 Okay, twice. The last time was so long ago, it's probably been expunged from 286 00:16:57,020 --> 00:16:58,020 your record. 287 00:16:58,060 --> 00:16:59,680 Think of the romance of the gown. 288 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,220 The other happy brides have worn it through time. 289 00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:04,880 Right, and where are they now? Either divorced or dead. 290 00:17:06,780 --> 00:17:07,780 I don't know. 291 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,119 Let me think about it for a few minutes, okay? 292 00:17:10,420 --> 00:17:11,420 Fine. 293 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,940 Oh, God, if I were you, I'd go for it. 294 00:17:14,740 --> 00:17:16,140 It's so bridey. 295 00:17:17,420 --> 00:17:19,599 And the whole point of this thing was to keep it simple. 296 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:20,940 Just a few friends. 297 00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:25,140 I know, but it means a lot to Stuart. And I'm sure it does to your mom, also. 298 00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:26,319 She's not coming. 299 00:17:27,030 --> 00:17:29,190 I haven't spoken to her at all since she was here last. 300 00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:32,030 The truth is, I don't want her here. 301 00:17:33,170 --> 00:17:35,830 Feeling the way she does about Stuart, I don't think she'd come even if I did. 302 00:17:36,090 --> 00:17:37,670 Of course you would, Ann. She's your mother. 303 00:17:38,650 --> 00:17:41,930 Please, no lectures about the sacredness of motherhood right now, okay? 304 00:17:44,270 --> 00:17:45,990 So, who did you decide to bring to the wedding? 305 00:17:46,770 --> 00:17:49,290 Well... I guess I could bring Tony Gianelli. 306 00:17:49,490 --> 00:17:50,630 Don't sound so enthusiastic. 307 00:17:51,190 --> 00:17:52,930 Maybe I'm a circus bigot or something. 308 00:17:53,190 --> 00:17:57,450 I just can't see myself going out with someone who gets shot out of a cannon on 309 00:17:57,450 --> 00:17:59,770 a regular basis. Come on, nobody's perfect. 310 00:18:01,110 --> 00:18:02,110 You like this one? 311 00:18:03,990 --> 00:18:06,790 Um, I like this one better. 312 00:18:07,510 --> 00:18:08,510 Hmm. 313 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:17,400 Can I see that bracelet? 314 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,200 It would look lovely with the dress.

You're the one who likes it so much. I 323 00:18:48,410 --> 00:18:52,810 do. I just have a feeling that the groom would be more into spangles and capes. 324 00:18:56,790 --> 00:18:57,790 Arnie? 325 00:18:57,910 --> 00:18:58,910 Did you get him out? 326 00:18:59,730 --> 00:19:00,729 Yeah. 327 00:19:00,730 --> 00:19:02,730 He's in the stairwell.

He just won't talk about it. 329 00:19:06,090 --> 00:19:08,190 Maybe you could get him to open up a little. 330 00:19:08,510 --> 00:19:09,510 No, let me have a try. 331 00:19:09,830 --> 00:19:12,410 Condition of bail.

Well, damn it, you have to. 345 00:20:22,110 --> 00:20:25,010 Look, maybe we can show that you didn't know what you were doing or that you 346 00:20:25,010 --> 00:20:27,570 didn't mean to hurt her. There are different things we can do to keep you 347 00:20:27,570 --> 00:20:32,770 jail. But we can't do anything until you open your mouth and start talking. 348 00:20:32,930 --> 00:20:35,750 You'll get mad at me.

A 547 00:32:03,070 --> 00:32:04,250 confession's a confession. 548 00:32:05,110 --> 00:32:08,090 Miss Flood, I'm not trying to beat you up, I swear. 549 00:32:09,030 --> 00:32:11,630 But an innocent man could go to jail here. 550 00:32:13,070 --> 00:32:15,010 My client, Denny Stelwitz. 551 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:16,940 is mentally retarded. 552 00:32:17,380 --> 00:32:21,420 On the night that this happened, he came out of his drip show in the area of the 553 00:32:21,420 --> 00:32:23,360 attack at the time of the attack. 554 00:32:24,140 --> 00:32:28,540 Now, this was the first time that he had ever gone to see a show like that, and 555 00:32:28,540 --> 00:32:29,840 he was very much ashamed. 556 00:32:30,260 --> 00:32:32,980 So ashamed that he ran away when the police approached. 557 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,620 So ashamed that he admitted that he had done something bad. 558 00:32:37,500 --> 00:32:40,880 Now, that... is the essence of this so -called confession. 559 00:32:41,220 --> 00:32:46,460 He thought that going to a strip show was bad. Is there a question remotely in 560 00:32:46,460 --> 00:32:49,820 our future here? Miss Flood, Benny Stolwitz is sitting in this courtroom 561 00:32:49,820 --> 00:32:52,640 because you singled him out as the man who attacked you. 562 00:32:52,860 --> 00:32:56,760 Now, I think the reason you think he did it is because the police told you so, 563 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,500 and you figured they have to be right. 564 00:32:58,800 --> 00:32:59,800 Possible? 565 00:33:00,780 --> 00:33:01,780 I don't know. 566 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:03,280 All right, then. 567 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:04,720 I want you to do this. 568 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,400 I want you to listen to my client's voice and tell me... This is a circus, 569 00:33:09,580 --> 00:33:13,000 Judge. She testified that he talked off to the attack, Your Honor. Voice 570 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,420 identification is appropriate. 571 00:33:14,660 --> 00:33:15,299 I'll allow it. 572 00:33:15,300 --> 00:33:18,680 All right, Benny, I want you to read this over and over again. 573 00:33:19,060 --> 00:33:22,560 Don't stop until I tell you to stop. Just like we practiced, all right? 574 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,720 Did the man speak quickly or slowly? 575 00:33:26,060 --> 00:33:27,220 He spoke very fast. 576 00:33:27,900 --> 00:33:30,440 Okay, Benny, read it as fast as you can. 577 00:33:31,020 --> 00:33:32,280 As fast as you can. 578 00:33:35,810 --> 00:33:36,810 Read. 579 00:33:37,130 --> 00:33:38,130 Enjoy it, bitch. 580 00:33:39,390 --> 00:33:41,730 Show me that you love it.

It serves no purpose whatsoever. 584 00:33:52,590 --> 00:33:55,510 It's relevant, Your Honor, and he should be allowed to continue. Show me that 585 00:33:55,510 --> 00:33:56,510 you love it. Mr. Trevino. 586 00:33:56,690 --> 00:33:59,630 This is ridiculous ranting, Judge, and I ask that it stop. 587 00:33:59,950 --> 00:34:02,850 Your Honor, the District Attorney is interfering with my cross -examination. 588 00:34:02,890 --> 00:34:04,850 Well, everyone just quiet down for a minute. 589 00:34:05,420 --> 00:34:08,679 That's not him.
