Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,801 --> 00:00:02,302
Previously on "The Practice"...
2
00:00:02,335 --> 00:00:03,804
Is something wrong,
Ellenor?
3
00:00:03,837 --> 00:00:05,371
You came to kill me?
4
00:00:05,405 --> 00:00:08,008
You know how many times
you've killed me?
5
00:00:08,675 --> 00:00:10,243
Bad boyfriend!
6
00:00:10,276 --> 00:00:11,377
No!
7
00:00:19,252 --> 00:00:21,321
Senator Potanki's
assault trial --
8
00:00:21,354 --> 00:00:23,423
I'd like you
to second-chair.
9
00:00:23,456 --> 00:00:26,560
That trial started yesterday.
I saw it on the news.
10
00:00:26,593 --> 00:00:29,095
If all goes according to plan,
it'll be over by Thursday.
11
00:00:29,129 --> 00:00:30,597
You won't have to do
a damn thing.
12
00:00:30,631 --> 00:00:32,733
Bobby, who is he?
13
00:00:32,766 --> 00:00:34,200
What?
14
00:00:34,234 --> 00:00:37,370
The witness --
who the hell is he?
15
00:00:37,403 --> 00:00:39,172
He forgot who that
witness was, didn't he?
16
00:00:39,205 --> 00:00:41,107
You could tell?
17
00:00:41,141 --> 00:00:43,309
Only because
he clenched his hands.
18
00:00:43,343 --> 00:00:46,212
Has this been going on
since the stroke?
19
00:00:46,246 --> 00:00:47,548
Joanne told me.
20
00:00:47,581 --> 00:00:49,282
You go to the judge,
and you tell him that
21
00:00:49,315 --> 00:00:52,385
I've forgotten the facts in
this case, and I'm finished.
22
00:00:52,418 --> 00:00:54,154
The fall is coming.
23
00:00:54,187 --> 00:00:56,289
He is only going
to listen to you.
24
00:00:56,322 --> 00:00:59,526
It's time, Ray.
It's time to quit.
25
00:01:12,338 --> 00:01:14,841
You're Raymond Oz,
aren't you?
26
00:01:14,875 --> 00:01:18,344
That I am.
27
00:01:19,746 --> 00:01:23,316
Wow. You know,
I've always Dreamed
28
00:01:23,349 --> 00:01:24,551
of being
on opposite benches --
29
00:01:24,585 --> 00:01:26,186
you and me,
30
00:01:26,219 --> 00:01:28,188
but in a courtroom,
not a hallway.
31
00:01:28,221 --> 00:01:29,322
Are you a lawyer?
32
00:01:29,355 --> 00:01:30,757
Harland Bassett.
33
00:01:30,791 --> 00:01:33,326
I can't say I've argued
before the supreme court, but --
34
00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:35,762
plenty of time.
What are you, about 65?
35
00:01:35,796 --> 00:01:38,198
53. Do I look 65?
36
00:01:38,231 --> 00:01:40,200
Oh, I'm just
a crazy old man.
37
00:01:40,233 --> 00:01:43,570
Appearances
mean nothing to me.
38
00:01:43,604 --> 00:01:47,340
You know, you and I
enjoy reputations.
39
00:01:47,373 --> 00:01:50,476
You're considered
one of the greatest lawyers
40
00:01:50,511 --> 00:01:52,478
in the history
of the commonwealth,
41
00:01:52,513 --> 00:01:55,481
and me -- I might be
thought of as one of the worst.
42
00:01:55,516 --> 00:01:57,851
Yeah, well, reputations
can change in a heartbeat.
43
00:01:57,884 --> 00:01:59,886
What are you, 62, 63?
44
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,223
53.
45
00:02:03,256 --> 00:02:05,892
Raymond.
46
00:02:05,926 --> 00:02:08,428
Bobby, I need
to talk to you.
47
00:02:08,461 --> 00:02:10,631
It's important.
48
00:02:10,664 --> 00:02:12,265
What's up?
49
00:02:12,298 --> 00:02:14,434
Well, unfortunately,
Bobby,
50
00:02:14,467 --> 00:02:17,270
I need your legal help.
51
00:02:17,303 --> 00:02:20,273
Uh...
52
00:02:20,306 --> 00:02:23,644
This isn't easy.
It's about Joanne.
53
00:02:23,677 --> 00:02:24,711
How do you mean?
54
00:02:24,745 --> 00:02:27,280
You know we've had
our disagreements in the past,
55
00:02:27,313 --> 00:02:30,283
but lately, her behavior
has become outrageous.
56
00:02:30,316 --> 00:02:32,653
First,
it was just receipts
57
00:02:32,686 --> 00:02:34,655
stuffed
in the kitchen drawers.
58
00:02:34,688 --> 00:02:37,791
Then she began to disappear
for hours on end,
59
00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:40,393
and when I asked her
where she'd been,
60
00:02:40,426 --> 00:02:41,795
she got angry,
61
00:02:41,828 --> 00:02:44,631
and then one day,
62
00:02:44,665 --> 00:02:49,302
she came home smelling...
63
00:02:49,335 --> 00:02:51,738
Smelling like
she'd been with a man.
64
00:02:51,772 --> 00:02:55,208
She denied it, of course,
65
00:02:55,241 --> 00:02:57,944
and said that I-I was
out of my mind.
66
00:02:57,978 --> 00:03:01,314
Ray, I can't imagine Joanne
having an affair at her age.
67
00:03:01,347 --> 00:03:04,585
Now, damn it, don't you
go against me, too!
68
00:03:04,618 --> 00:03:05,852
Let me finish!
69
00:03:08,254 --> 00:03:10,290
I'm sorry.
70
00:03:10,323 --> 00:03:13,226
What can we do for you?
71
00:03:13,259 --> 00:03:16,396
She's taking me to court.
72
00:03:16,429 --> 00:03:17,664
She wants a divorce?
73
00:03:17,698 --> 00:03:18,832
No, no, she's too smart
for that.
74
00:03:18,865 --> 00:03:20,967
No, she wants to be named
my conservator.
75
00:03:21,001 --> 00:03:23,403
She wants to get control
of my money,
76
00:03:23,436 --> 00:03:25,839
my estate, everything --
everything.
77
00:03:25,872 --> 00:03:29,643
Well, she's probably got a guy
stashed in some motel,
78
00:03:29,676 --> 00:03:30,911
playing me for a fool.
79
00:03:30,944 --> 00:03:33,991
All right, Ray,
easy. Easy.
80
00:03:37,450 --> 00:03:38,852
Now, I could
represent myself,
81
00:03:38,885 --> 00:03:42,488
but I need
independent counsel,
82
00:03:43,356 --> 00:03:45,325
someone I can trust.
83
00:03:45,358 --> 00:03:46,893
Let me talk to Joanne.
84
00:03:46,927 --> 00:03:48,895
No, there's no talking
to her.
85
00:03:48,929 --> 00:03:51,765
No, there's a hearing
scheduled for 9:30 this morning.
86
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:58,004
I hate having to ask.
87
00:03:58,038 --> 00:03:59,640
I'll be there.
88
00:04:10,050 --> 00:04:13,253
♪
89
00:04:57,564 --> 00:04:58,932
I don't know how long
this will take.
90
00:04:58,965 --> 00:05:00,634
I'll call in as soon
as I have a better idea.
91
00:05:00,667 --> 00:05:01,702
Bobby, you still have
Harland Bassett waiting.
92
00:05:01,735 --> 00:05:02,903
He's in the hallway.
93
00:05:02,936 --> 00:05:04,538
-Oh, god. I forgot.
-We should get going.
94
00:05:04,571 --> 00:05:06,039
Come on.
95
00:05:07,641 --> 00:05:09,475
Harland,
sorry for the wait.
96
00:05:09,510 --> 00:05:10,944
Oh, it's all right.
97
00:05:10,977 --> 00:05:12,946
What can I do for you?
98
00:05:12,979 --> 00:05:13,914
I got a lewd and lascivious
99
00:05:13,947 --> 00:05:15,649
scheduled for trial
this morning -- bogus.
100
00:05:15,682 --> 00:05:16,917
He's a good kid.
101
00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:18,752
It's an easy N. G.,
uh, but judge Hiller,
102
00:05:18,785 --> 00:05:20,654
she's ordered me
to get co-counsel.
103
00:05:20,687 --> 00:05:21,755
Why?
104
00:05:21,788 --> 00:05:22,923
I don't know.
105
00:05:22,956 --> 00:05:24,390
She's got some bug
up her ass about me.
106
00:05:24,424 --> 00:05:26,392
What was her legal reasoning,
Harland?
107
00:05:26,426 --> 00:05:28,995
Uh, something about how
I've never won a trial.
108
00:05:29,029 --> 00:05:30,597
You've never won a trial?
109
00:05:31,431 --> 00:05:33,499
A lawyer can only play the cards
he's dealt.
110
00:05:33,534 --> 00:05:34,801
-Never?
-Lyndsay.
111
00:05:35,101 --> 00:05:36,369
I got a winner here,
Bobby.
112
00:05:36,402 --> 00:05:38,004
And you guys got
a good record
113
00:05:38,038 --> 00:05:39,105
with judge Hiller.
114
00:05:39,139 --> 00:05:40,641
It's a 2-day trial, tops.
115
00:05:40,674 --> 00:05:43,476
It's a guaranteed N. G.
116
00:05:43,510 --> 00:05:45,712
Please?
117
00:05:45,746 --> 00:05:46,913
-Not a chance!
-No way.
118
00:05:46,947 --> 00:05:48,715
I told him
I'd help him out.
119
00:05:48,749 --> 00:05:49,716
-Go ahead.
-Exactly.
120
00:05:49,750 --> 00:05:50,651
All right, quiet. Rebecca.
121
00:05:50,684 --> 00:05:52,586
No. I do not need
that kind of experience.
122
00:05:52,619 --> 00:05:53,754
I've seen that man
in court.
123
00:05:53,787 --> 00:05:55,121
Bobby, it's bad for us
124
00:05:55,155 --> 00:05:56,557
to even be associated
with Harland Bassett.
125
00:05:56,590 --> 00:05:57,591
He's a nice guy.
126
00:05:57,624 --> 00:05:58,725
And the world's
worst attorney.
127
00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:00,661
Lucy, straws.
128
00:06:00,694 --> 00:06:02,462
-I ain't Drawing straws.
-I'm too busy anyways.
129
00:06:02,495 --> 00:06:03,930
Why can't we put this
to a partnership vote?
130
00:06:03,964 --> 00:06:05,666
It's a 2-day trial at most.
131
00:06:05,699 --> 00:06:06,867
I'd do it myself,
132
00:06:06,900 --> 00:06:08,569
but I promised
to help Raymond Oz.
133
00:06:09,169 --> 00:06:10,136
Pick them.
134
00:06:10,170 --> 00:06:12,138
Luck,
be a long straw tonight.
135
00:06:12,172 --> 00:06:14,675
I hate this.
Uh, uh, uh.
136
00:06:14,708 --> 00:06:16,042
Damn! 50 bucks.
137
00:06:16,076 --> 00:06:17,611
Not enough!
138
00:06:17,644 --> 00:06:19,546
Look, I do not want to be
in court with that man.
139
00:06:19,580 --> 00:06:21,481
-Thanks, Eugene. I owe you one.
-You got that right.
140
00:06:21,515 --> 00:06:22,749
He's really
never won a case ever?
141
00:06:22,783 --> 00:06:23,817
And he never will.
142
00:06:23,850 --> 00:06:25,118
But with you
at his side...
143
00:06:25,151 --> 00:06:26,753
Oh, knock them dead!
144
00:06:26,787 --> 00:06:29,890
Hey, you might want
to keep this for next time.
145
00:06:29,923 --> 00:06:32,959
Thank you all very much.
146
00:06:32,993 --> 00:06:35,896
Maybe you should have
picked him up.
147
00:06:35,929 --> 00:06:37,564
He wouldn't let me.
148
00:06:39,766 --> 00:06:41,602
Joanne.
149
00:06:41,635 --> 00:06:45,071
Oh, Bobby, how are you?
150
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:48,041
Hello, Mrs. Oz.
151
00:06:48,074 --> 00:06:49,610
Lindsay dole -- I co-chaired
152
00:06:49,643 --> 00:06:50,777
your husband's last case
with Bobby.
153
00:06:50,811 --> 00:06:52,513
Yes, of course.
I remember.
154
00:06:52,546 --> 00:06:53,980
Abby Smythe,
Forte and Kramer.
155
00:06:54,014 --> 00:06:56,650
Uh, Joanne, I just thought
we might be able
156
00:06:56,683 --> 00:06:59,152
to keep this
in the family.
157
00:06:59,185 --> 00:07:00,787
-We should go inside.
-I'm concerned, too,
158
00:07:00,821 --> 00:07:02,656
but is this really
the way to handle it?
159
00:07:02,689 --> 00:07:04,925
I don't have
a choice, Bobby.
160
00:07:04,958 --> 00:07:06,527
The bank calls every week
161
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,729
and the creditors
and the accountants.
162
00:07:08,762 --> 00:07:10,731
How can they keep covering
163
00:07:10,764 --> 00:07:13,934
for his wild spending
and his -- his craziness?
164
00:07:13,967 --> 00:07:16,202
But having him
declared incompetent?
165
00:07:16,236 --> 00:07:18,572
You looked me in the eye
two years ago
166
00:07:18,605 --> 00:07:20,541
and told me to step in.
167
00:07:20,574 --> 00:07:23,176
That was about getting him
to stop practicing law.
168
00:07:23,209 --> 00:07:24,578
This is about competency.
169
00:07:24,611 --> 00:07:26,913
I can't control him
anymore.
170
00:07:26,947 --> 00:07:28,949
Control me?
171
00:07:28,982 --> 00:07:32,686
I don't need you
to control me.
172
00:07:32,719 --> 00:07:34,688
Ray, can we just
find someplace
173
00:07:34,721 --> 00:07:36,957
where we can sit down
and talk?
174
00:07:36,990 --> 00:07:40,694
The session starts
in four minutes, counselor.
175
00:07:42,863 --> 00:07:44,164
Joanne.
176
00:07:49,235 --> 00:07:51,204
I did not expose myself
to that woman.
177
00:07:51,237 --> 00:07:52,606
All right, Marvin.
178
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:53,974
I just wanted you
to meet Mr. Young
179
00:07:54,007 --> 00:07:55,876
because he'll be helping you
with your trial.
180
00:07:55,909 --> 00:07:58,144
If you need help,
what am I paying you for?
181
00:07:58,178 --> 00:08:00,781
God, this whole thing
is a joke.
182
00:08:00,814 --> 00:08:01,748
Mr. Blaylock,
this isn't a joke.
183
00:08:01,782 --> 00:08:03,984
Your charge carries
a 3-year sentence, so --
184
00:08:04,017 --> 00:08:05,085
what about my ace
in the hole?
185
00:08:05,118 --> 00:08:06,186
Excuse me?
186
00:08:06,219 --> 00:08:09,990
I hadn't broached that subject
with Mr. Young yet.
187
00:08:10,023 --> 00:08:13,126
There's a evidentiary matter
that's not apparent
188
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:14,595
from the reports.
189
00:08:14,628 --> 00:08:15,796
What evidentiary matter?
190
00:08:15,829 --> 00:08:17,531
It establishes that Marvin
191
00:08:17,564 --> 00:08:20,266
couldn't possibly
be the perpetrator.
192
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:21,735
That's what I'm saying.
193
00:08:21,768 --> 00:08:22,769
Well, I looked
through the file,
194
00:08:22,803 --> 00:08:24,237
and I didn't see any
affirmative defense filed.
195
00:08:24,270 --> 00:08:27,040
That's because it's not
an affirmative defense.
196
00:08:27,073 --> 00:08:29,242
It's a physical impossibility.
197
00:08:29,275 --> 00:08:31,545
So what are we talking
about here, impotence?
198
00:08:31,578 --> 00:08:32,879
Hardly.
199
00:08:33,928 --> 00:08:39,315
Marvin has an unusual
physical characteristic
200
00:08:39,953 --> 00:08:44,725
that is inconsistent
with the victim's description.
201
00:08:44,758 --> 00:08:47,293
And are you going
to tell me what it is?
202
00:08:47,327 --> 00:08:50,096
Let me put it this way.
You've heard of hung juries?
203
00:08:50,130 --> 00:08:52,098
Yes.
204
00:08:52,132 --> 00:08:55,536
Well, we've got ourselves
a hung defendant.
205
00:09:05,946 --> 00:09:07,047
Ellenor.
206
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,683
Mike.
207
00:09:09,716 --> 00:09:10,851
How are you doing?
208
00:09:10,884 --> 00:09:12,686
I'm okay.
209
00:09:12,719 --> 00:09:14,054
What's up?
210
00:09:14,087 --> 00:09:16,056
Well, you mind telling me
where you got the gun
211
00:09:16,089 --> 00:09:17,758
you used to shoot
George Vogeiman?
212
00:09:17,791 --> 00:09:21,227
Helen shot him.
Mine had blanks.
213
00:09:21,261 --> 00:09:23,129
Yes, I know, and Helen
had a permit for hers.
214
00:09:23,163 --> 00:09:24,130
Did you?
215
00:09:24,164 --> 00:09:28,669
Well, you're here
because you know I didn't.
216
00:09:28,702 --> 00:09:30,070
You here to arrest me?
217
00:09:30,103 --> 00:09:31,972
I'm here to --
218
00:09:32,005 --> 00:09:33,073
because I would
just love that.
219
00:09:33,106 --> 00:09:33,874
Ellenor --
220
00:09:33,907 --> 00:09:35,776
No. You talk about
your test case?
221
00:09:35,809 --> 00:09:37,778
I used that gun
to defend myself in my home,
222
00:09:37,811 --> 00:09:39,613
so go ahead
and press charges.
223
00:09:39,646 --> 00:09:42,683
-Ellenor --
-Are you here to arrest me?
224
00:09:42,716 --> 00:09:44,951
I'll tell you this --
don't dare me.
225
00:09:44,985 --> 00:09:46,352
I am daring you.
226
00:09:46,386 --> 00:09:48,254
That's exactly
what I'm doing.
227
00:09:48,288 --> 00:09:49,956
Ellenor, cut it out.
228
00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:51,357
I came here prepared
to give you a break
229
00:09:51,391 --> 00:09:52,358
and tell you only
that you wouldn't be
230
00:09:52,392 --> 00:09:53,326
getting the gun back,
231
00:09:53,359 --> 00:09:54,961
but don't get
on any high horse, Ellenor.
232
00:09:54,995 --> 00:09:56,229
For every gun used
in self-defense,
233
00:09:56,262 --> 00:09:58,164
40 more are used
to commit murder,
234
00:09:58,198 --> 00:10:00,634
and the only reason you're not
dead yourself right now
235
00:10:00,667 --> 00:10:02,268
is because your friend George
236
00:10:02,302 --> 00:10:05,071
preferred to play with knives
more than he did pistols,
237
00:10:05,105 --> 00:10:07,007
and don't make me out
the world's biggest idiot.
238
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,709
The psycho killer
who stabbed Lindsay?
239
00:10:08,742 --> 00:10:10,711
You brought him
to the party.
240
00:10:10,744 --> 00:10:13,246
He was under your nose
the whole time,
241
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:15,381
and you couldn't see it.
242
00:10:20,854 --> 00:10:22,255
I love my husband,
243
00:10:22,288 --> 00:10:24,290
but I can't rely
upon him anymore.
244
00:10:24,324 --> 00:10:26,993
A few years ago,
he had a stroke,
245
00:10:27,027 --> 00:10:29,395
and he just won't admit
that he's getting worse.
246
00:10:29,429 --> 00:10:31,397
ABBY: can you
give us examples?
247
00:10:31,431 --> 00:10:34,200
He runs up enormous bills
on our credit cards,
248
00:10:34,234 --> 00:10:36,670
and then he accuses me
of doing it.
249
00:10:36,703 --> 00:10:38,672
Last week
he gave our housekeeper
250
00:10:38,705 --> 00:10:40,741
a diamond necklace
he bought for me
251
00:10:40,774 --> 00:10:42,275
for our 40th anniversary.
252
00:10:42,308 --> 00:10:44,010
Anything else?
253
00:10:44,044 --> 00:10:45,946
Just the other day
I came home
254
00:10:45,979 --> 00:10:47,948
and found
the refrigerator filled
255
00:10:47,981 --> 00:10:50,316
with 15 pounds
of lunch meat
256
00:10:50,350 --> 00:10:52,285
for the two of us.
257
00:10:52,318 --> 00:10:54,788
Mrs. Oz, have you consulted
your husband's physician?
258
00:10:54,821 --> 00:10:56,690
No. He won't see a doctor.
259
00:10:56,723 --> 00:10:59,025
He thinks that they're all out
to get even with him
260
00:10:59,059 --> 00:11:01,962
because he won
a few malpractice suits,
261
00:11:01,995 --> 00:11:05,899
and he's accusing me of...
262
00:11:05,932 --> 00:11:08,434
He's accusing you
of what, Mrs. Oz?
263
00:11:08,468 --> 00:11:12,172
Of having an affair.
264
00:11:12,205 --> 00:11:13,907
It's so ridiculous.
265
00:11:13,940 --> 00:11:16,442
It's true.
You know it's true!
266
00:11:16,476 --> 00:11:19,212
Mr. Oz, please be seated.
267
00:11:21,314 --> 00:11:23,917
And now he's threatening
to give away his estate
268
00:11:23,950 --> 00:11:27,320
so that when he dies,
I'll be left with nothing --
269
00:11:27,353 --> 00:11:29,690
his revenge, he says.
270
00:11:32,092 --> 00:11:34,160
And he calls me a whore.
271
00:11:34,194 --> 00:11:35,929
BOBBY: Ray!
Tell the truth!
272
00:11:35,962 --> 00:11:37,798
JUDGE: Mr. Oz.
RAYMOND: You betrayed me!
273
00:11:37,831 --> 00:11:39,499
-Mr. Oz!
-Raymond, sit.
274
00:11:39,533 --> 00:11:41,167
You betrayed me.
275
00:11:41,201 --> 00:11:42,736
Raymond!
276
00:11:42,769 --> 00:11:46,907
I-I told the judge
277
00:11:46,940 --> 00:11:50,343
that Raymond should stop
practicing law,
278
00:11:50,376 --> 00:11:55,481
but he's just never
forgiven me for it.
279
00:12:04,525 --> 00:12:07,493
Mrs. Oz, who pays the bills
in your household?
280
00:12:07,528 --> 00:12:09,062
My husband.
281
00:12:09,095 --> 00:12:10,330
Are your utilities
paid up to date?
282
00:12:10,363 --> 00:12:11,231
Yes.
283
00:12:11,264 --> 00:12:13,233
Credit cards paid
in a timely fashion?
284
00:12:13,266 --> 00:12:16,169
Not always,
but most of the time.
285
00:12:16,202 --> 00:12:18,171
Has your husband
ever missed a payment
286
00:12:18,204 --> 00:12:20,006
on his insurance or any other
financial obligation?
287
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,174
No.
288
00:12:21,207 --> 00:12:23,076
And has he actually
changed his will
289
00:12:23,109 --> 00:12:24,344
in the last two years?
290
00:12:24,377 --> 00:12:26,980
Well, no,
but he's threatened --
291
00:12:27,013 --> 00:12:30,450
the question is,
has he changed it?
292
00:12:30,483 --> 00:12:32,118
No.
293
00:12:32,152 --> 00:12:34,120
And you said
it was you
294
00:12:34,154 --> 00:12:36,122
who told the judge
it was time
295
00:12:36,156 --> 00:12:38,291
for your husband
to stop practicing law.
296
00:12:38,324 --> 00:12:39,359
Yes.
297
00:12:39,392 --> 00:12:41,294
And he's never
forgiven you for it.
298
00:12:41,327 --> 00:12:43,129
No, I don't believe he has.
299
00:12:43,163 --> 00:12:45,198
You talk of threats
and revenge
300
00:12:45,231 --> 00:12:47,000
and not being forgiven.
301
00:12:47,033 --> 00:12:49,302
That isn't incompetence,
is it, Joanne?
302
00:12:49,335 --> 00:12:50,571
That's anger.
303
00:12:50,604 --> 00:12:53,273
Bobby, what are you
trying to do?
304
00:12:53,306 --> 00:12:55,008
I'd ask that the witness
305
00:12:55,041 --> 00:12:57,010
be instructed
to answer the question.
306
00:12:57,043 --> 00:12:58,845
If you love him
as much as you --
307
00:12:58,879 --> 00:13:00,313
ask that the witness
be instructed
308
00:13:00,346 --> 00:13:01,582
to answer the question.
309
00:13:01,615 --> 00:13:03,049
All right.
310
00:13:03,083 --> 00:13:05,819
Please answer the question.
311
00:13:07,187 --> 00:13:11,357
Yes, he's angry.
He's a very angry man.
312
00:13:13,193 --> 00:13:15,061
I interviewed
the complaining witness
313
00:13:15,095 --> 00:13:16,429
who said the man
had exposed himself to her.
314
00:13:16,462 --> 00:13:18,498
Was Ms. Cosgrove able
to give you information
315
00:13:18,532 --> 00:13:20,233
about the perpetrator?
316
00:13:20,266 --> 00:13:22,435
Yes. She was able to give me
a detailed description.
317
00:13:22,468 --> 00:13:24,070
Did you arrest anyone
at that time?
318
00:13:24,104 --> 00:13:26,039
No. We were unable
to locate the suspect.
319
00:13:26,072 --> 00:13:27,440
Then about a month later,
320
00:13:27,473 --> 00:13:29,409
we received a phone call
from Ms. Cosgrove.
321
00:13:29,442 --> 00:13:31,044
She sounded extremely upset
322
00:13:31,077 --> 00:13:32,445
and told me that she
had just seen the man.
323
00:13:32,478 --> 00:13:34,180
We proceeded
to the location
324
00:13:34,214 --> 00:13:36,182
and attempted
to arrest the defendant.
325
00:13:36,216 --> 00:13:38,051
Attempted to arrest him?
326
00:13:38,084 --> 00:13:39,419
Mr. Blaylock
looked in my direction
327
00:13:39,452 --> 00:13:40,887
then took off running.
328
00:13:40,921 --> 00:13:42,388
My partner and I chased him
for several blocks
329
00:13:42,422 --> 00:13:44,157
until he ran into an alley
with a dead end.
330
00:13:44,190 --> 00:13:45,592
What happened then?
331
00:13:45,626 --> 00:13:47,360
I placed him under arrest,
332
00:13:47,393 --> 00:13:49,329
and he was subsequently
identified in the lineup
333
00:13:49,362 --> 00:13:50,330
by Anita Cosgrove.
334
00:13:50,363 --> 00:13:52,232
Thank you, Sir.
335
00:13:53,667 --> 00:13:55,869
Mr. Bassett?
336
00:14:04,210 --> 00:14:06,146
One moment, please, judge.
337
00:14:11,017 --> 00:14:11,852
I don't think
we really need
338
00:14:11,885 --> 00:14:14,120
to get anything out
of this witness.
339
00:14:14,154 --> 00:14:16,422
Would you mind if
I asked him a few questions?
340
00:14:16,456 --> 00:14:18,892
Oh, go ahead.
341
00:14:20,226 --> 00:14:22,362
Officer, when you arrived
at the location
342
00:14:22,395 --> 00:14:23,930
to arrest my client,
343
00:14:23,964 --> 00:14:25,932
were you or your partner
in uniform?
344
00:14:25,966 --> 00:14:27,467
No. We were
in plain clothes.
345
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:28,502
Was your car marked
or unmarked?
346
00:14:28,535 --> 00:14:30,103
Unmarked.
347
00:14:30,136 --> 00:14:32,105
And that neighborhood is known
by your department
348
00:14:32,138 --> 00:14:34,240
to have a high level
of criminal activity,
349
00:14:34,274 --> 00:14:35,241
including shootings.
350
00:14:35,275 --> 00:14:37,210
Yes.
351
00:14:37,243 --> 00:14:39,112
So it's entirely possible
that when Mr. Blaylock
352
00:14:39,145 --> 00:14:40,681
saw an unmarked car pull
to a sudden stop,
353
00:14:40,714 --> 00:14:42,516
you and your partner
jump out of that car
354
00:14:42,549 --> 00:14:44,384
in street clothes with guns,
355
00:14:44,417 --> 00:14:46,319
that he might not have realized
that you were police officers.
356
00:14:46,352 --> 00:14:48,955
I called out
and identified myself.
357
00:14:48,989 --> 00:14:50,691
But you can't be sure
that he believed you
358
00:14:50,724 --> 00:14:51,692
or even heard you.
359
00:14:51,725 --> 00:14:54,127
No, I can't.
360
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,162
Thank you.
361
00:15:02,368 --> 00:15:04,571
Good job.
362
00:15:12,445 --> 00:15:13,346
MAN: It would be easy,
363
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:14,715
under the circumstances,
364
00:15:14,748 --> 00:15:18,351
to say, "gee, I guess
I never really knew him.
365
00:15:18,384 --> 00:15:21,154
He wasn't
who I thought he was."
366
00:15:21,187 --> 00:15:23,724
I would discourage you
from thinking that.
367
00:15:23,757 --> 00:15:28,261
Mental illness is an illness,
368
00:15:28,294 --> 00:15:31,164
and George simply became ill.
369
00:15:31,197 --> 00:15:33,534
That doesn't negate
the kind man you knew,
370
00:15:33,567 --> 00:15:35,168
the gentle man.
371
00:15:35,201 --> 00:15:37,170
George was that.
372
00:15:37,203 --> 00:15:39,172
He was not a man of hate,
373
00:15:39,205 --> 00:15:42,709
and it would be wrong for us
to feel hatred towards him
374
00:15:42,743 --> 00:15:46,580
because of symptoms
he suffered from.
375
00:15:46,613 --> 00:15:52,586
I hope that we resist the urge
to think we never knew him
376
00:15:52,619 --> 00:15:57,057
and instead simply admit
377
00:15:57,090 --> 00:16:00,360
we never knew the depths
of his illness.
378
00:16:05,498 --> 00:16:07,233
They're calling him
as their next witness.
379
00:16:07,267 --> 00:16:08,735
I heard. Where is he?
380
00:16:08,769 --> 00:16:10,403
Men's room.
381
00:16:10,436 --> 00:16:12,072
I feel bad for her.
382
00:16:12,105 --> 00:16:15,475
I'm sure she never thought
it would end up like this.
383
00:16:15,509 --> 00:16:17,343
Judge is returning.
384
00:16:17,377 --> 00:16:18,679
Okay.
385
00:16:18,712 --> 00:16:21,047
He's going to get crucified
in that witness chair.
386
00:16:21,081 --> 00:16:22,248
They're hoping he'll blow.
387
00:16:22,282 --> 00:16:24,217
He knows
he has to stay calm.
388
00:16:24,250 --> 00:16:25,686
He's got no chance
of staying calm.
389
00:16:25,719 --> 00:16:26,753
We both know it.
390
00:16:26,787 --> 00:16:28,221
Can't we work this out?
391
00:16:28,254 --> 00:16:29,523
He won't budge.
392
00:16:29,556 --> 00:16:30,691
He's crazy.
393
00:16:30,724 --> 00:16:33,359
That's up to the judge
to decide, not us.
394
00:16:33,393 --> 00:16:37,330
Bobby, he's going
to get hurt.
395
00:16:37,363 --> 00:16:41,668
If you love him
as much as you say...
396
00:16:45,271 --> 00:16:47,073
I better get him.
397
00:16:47,107 --> 00:16:49,543
Ray, you in here?
398
00:16:53,547 --> 00:16:55,115
Ray?
399
00:17:02,856 --> 00:17:06,059
(Ray whimpering)
400
00:17:13,867 --> 00:17:15,401
Close the door.
401
00:17:15,435 --> 00:17:17,203
Oh, god.
402
00:17:17,237 --> 00:17:19,405
She's out there.
403
00:17:19,439 --> 00:17:22,275
Who?
404
00:17:22,308 --> 00:17:26,312
Joanne --
she wants to kill me.
405
00:17:26,346 --> 00:17:29,583
Oh, Ray.
406
00:17:29,616 --> 00:17:32,118
Don't! Don't touch those.
407
00:17:32,152 --> 00:17:34,487
No, she's on to my scent.
Don't. Don't.
408
00:17:34,521 --> 00:17:38,391
Ray, you are due
to take the stand
409
00:17:38,424 --> 00:17:40,093
in two minutes.
410
00:17:41,795 --> 00:17:43,429
Who are you?
411
00:17:45,431 --> 00:17:47,701
It's me -- Bobby.
412
00:17:47,734 --> 00:17:52,348
Bobby? Bob-- oh, Bobby.
413
00:17:54,440 --> 00:18:00,313
I-I always --
I always considered Bobby...
414
00:18:00,346 --> 00:18:02,816
My son, you know.
415
00:18:09,656 --> 00:18:11,157
Get a continuance.
416
00:18:11,191 --> 00:18:12,325
Why? What --
417
00:18:12,358 --> 00:18:14,528
just tell the judge
he's taken ill.
418
00:18:14,561 --> 00:18:16,196
We'll continue it tomorrow.
419
00:18:17,898 --> 00:18:19,733
I was waiting
at a bus stop.
420
00:18:19,766 --> 00:18:22,603
He walked up to me
as I was sitting there
421
00:18:22,636 --> 00:18:25,338
and asked if I had change
for his $20 bill for the bus.
422
00:18:25,371 --> 00:18:26,372
The defendant?
423
00:18:26,406 --> 00:18:27,541
Yes.
424
00:18:27,574 --> 00:18:30,376
I opened my purse
to see if I had change.
425
00:18:30,410 --> 00:18:33,647
When I looked up
to hand him the money,
426
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,215
there it was.
427
00:18:35,248 --> 00:18:36,617
There what was?
428
00:18:36,650 --> 00:18:39,219
His sad, pathetic,
little penis...
429
00:18:39,252 --> 00:18:40,353
Aroused.
430
00:18:40,386 --> 00:18:42,455
And what was going
through your mind
431
00:18:42,488 --> 00:18:43,890
as this happened?
432
00:18:43,924 --> 00:18:49,763
Shock, fear, disgust.
433
00:18:49,796 --> 00:18:51,464
And did you have
an occasion
434
00:18:51,497 --> 00:18:53,499
to see Mr. Blaylock again
before today?
435
00:18:53,534 --> 00:18:55,301
Yes. About four weeks later,
436
00:18:55,335 --> 00:18:57,938
I saw him standing there
loitering at the same bus stop.
437
00:18:57,971 --> 00:19:00,373
I called the police.
They came and got him.
438
00:19:00,406 --> 00:19:02,142
Thank you.
439
00:19:04,244 --> 00:19:06,146
Yours.
440
00:19:08,248 --> 00:19:10,150
No questions, your honor.
441
00:19:11,785 --> 00:19:15,221
Just a few from me.
442
00:19:15,255 --> 00:19:16,790
You had never
seen the perpetrator
443
00:19:16,823 --> 00:19:18,692
prior to the day
he exposed himself.
444
00:19:18,725 --> 00:19:19,693
No.
445
00:19:19,726 --> 00:19:21,394
And the day of the incident,
446
00:19:21,427 --> 00:19:23,429
you described the guy
who did it to the police.
447
00:19:23,463 --> 00:19:24,965
Yes.
448
00:19:24,998 --> 00:19:26,667
Events were still fresh
in your mind at that time.
449
00:19:26,700 --> 00:19:27,668
Yes.
450
00:19:27,701 --> 00:19:29,335
And you were very careful
451
00:19:29,369 --> 00:19:30,971
to give as much detail
as you could to the police
452
00:19:31,004 --> 00:19:32,606
so that they
could catch the person.
453
00:19:32,639 --> 00:19:33,974
Right.
454
00:19:34,007 --> 00:19:35,676
Now, did the police ask you
455
00:19:35,709 --> 00:19:38,411
about things like
approximate height and weight?
456
00:19:38,444 --> 00:19:40,446
Yes.
I told them all that.
457
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,984
And do you remember
if they asked
458
00:19:44,017 --> 00:19:45,619
whether the perpetrator
459
00:19:45,652 --> 00:19:47,621
had any distinguishing
physical characteristics?
460
00:19:47,654 --> 00:19:49,455
I do remember, and I
told them, no, he didn't.
461
00:19:49,489 --> 00:19:53,894
No unusual markings, tattoos,
piercings or deformities --
462
00:19:53,927 --> 00:19:57,297
nothing unusual in any way
about his body.
463
00:19:57,330 --> 00:19:58,699
No.
464
00:19:58,732 --> 00:20:02,235
Thank you, ma'am.
That's all I have.
465
00:20:04,571 --> 00:20:06,272
You embarrass me
in front of the jury
466
00:20:06,306 --> 00:20:07,808
when you jump up like that.
467
00:20:07,841 --> 00:20:09,375
Embarrass you?
468
00:20:09,409 --> 00:20:11,845
We had to establish
what she saw or didn't see.
469
00:20:11,878 --> 00:20:14,480
She said, "sad, pathetic,
little penis," on direct.
470
00:20:14,515 --> 00:20:15,749
That's all we needed.
471
00:20:15,782 --> 00:20:17,317
Not in my opinion, and --
472
00:20:17,350 --> 00:20:18,484
well, you're second chair,
Eugene.
473
00:20:18,519 --> 00:20:19,853
The judge wouldn't let you
474
00:20:19,886 --> 00:20:21,387
try this case
by yourself, Harland.
475
00:20:21,421 --> 00:20:22,756
What does that tell you?
476
00:20:22,789 --> 00:20:24,558
Now, I don't want
to be on this case,
477
00:20:24,591 --> 00:20:26,026
but I am on it,
and I'm not here
478
00:20:26,059 --> 00:20:27,928
to set up some
inadequate counsel appeal
479
00:20:27,961 --> 00:20:29,563
where he can take a number
behind all your other clients.
480
00:20:29,596 --> 00:20:31,732
Don't you talk to me
like that.
481
00:20:31,765 --> 00:20:33,466
I may not have won
a jury trial yet,
482
00:20:33,499 --> 00:20:35,301
but I've won plenty
of motions,
483
00:20:35,335 --> 00:20:37,337
and I'm a good lawyer
in that room.
484
00:20:37,370 --> 00:20:39,540
No, you're not, Harland.
485
00:20:39,573 --> 00:20:42,909
Now, you're a nice man,
but you're not a good lawyer.
486
00:20:51,785 --> 00:20:54,755
I'm going to take
Marvin's testimony.
487
00:20:54,788 --> 00:20:56,389
You can back me up
488
00:20:56,422 --> 00:20:58,491
if you think
I've missed anything.
489
00:20:59,926 --> 00:21:01,427
Okay.
490
00:21:09,603 --> 00:21:12,639
You know the craziest thing
next to him?
491
00:21:12,673 --> 00:21:14,040
We should win.
492
00:21:14,074 --> 00:21:15,742
They haven't made their burden
493
00:21:15,776 --> 00:21:17,644
that he can't manage
his financial affairs.
494
00:21:17,678 --> 00:21:19,546
He can be naked in as many
bathrooms as he wants,
495
00:21:19,580 --> 00:21:20,914
but if his affairs
are in order...
496
00:21:20,947 --> 00:21:24,785
Bobby, we have a problem.
497
00:21:37,063 --> 00:21:39,432
Where's Ray?
Is he all right?
498
00:21:39,465 --> 00:21:40,967
Oh, yeah. He's fine.
499
00:21:42,703 --> 00:21:44,538
Ray.
500
00:21:44,571 --> 00:21:46,607
Bobby, Bobby, Bobby.
501
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,441
Bobby.
502
00:21:48,474 --> 00:21:50,611
Oh, god.
503
00:21:50,644 --> 00:21:53,980
Bobby, are these
really necessary?
504
00:21:54,014 --> 00:21:55,949
Ray, what happened?
505
00:21:55,982 --> 00:21:57,417
She tried to kill me.
506
00:21:57,450 --> 00:21:59,452
Joanne? What do you mean?
507
00:21:59,485 --> 00:22:01,822
Yes. She had a knife,
a knife,
508
00:22:01,855 --> 00:22:06,092
and I-I just swung
to knock her away.
509
00:22:06,126 --> 00:22:07,961
Wait, wait, wait.
510
00:22:07,994 --> 00:22:10,531
Do you realize
what you've done?
511
00:22:10,564 --> 00:22:14,067
It was self-defense.
She tried to kill me.
512
00:22:14,100 --> 00:22:17,003
She tried to kill me.
513
00:22:21,007 --> 00:22:24,010
Okay, Ray. Okay, okay.
514
00:22:24,044 --> 00:22:26,112
Okay.
515
00:22:26,146 --> 00:22:29,115
Okay, okay.
516
00:22:41,628 --> 00:22:43,797
Look, I don't know
what to tell you.
517
00:22:43,830 --> 00:22:46,032
He swears
she tried to kill him.
518
00:22:49,570 --> 00:22:51,905
I don't want
to go to trial.
519
00:22:51,938 --> 00:22:53,540
Neither do I.
520
00:22:53,574 --> 00:22:54,808
Going after Raymond Oz
521
00:22:54,841 --> 00:22:56,810
won't win me
any popularity contests.
522
00:22:56,843 --> 00:22:58,979
So what kind of deal
can we make?
523
00:22:59,012 --> 00:23:01,648
Manslaughter -- we can ask
for light sentencing,
524
00:23:01,682 --> 00:23:02,883
maybe framing him.
525
00:23:02,916 --> 00:23:06,019
Helen, I can't let him
do any time.
526
00:23:06,052 --> 00:23:07,921
The man is nearly 80.
527
00:23:08,454 --> 00:23:10,056
He blugent a woman to death.
528
00:23:13,594 --> 00:23:15,729
How 'bout an NGI plea?
529
00:23:15,762 --> 00:23:17,497
Insanity?
530
00:23:17,531 --> 00:23:19,199
You know,
call it temporary,
531
00:23:19,232 --> 00:23:21,467
get the right shrink
at the psych exam.
532
00:23:21,502 --> 00:23:22,869
I'll back you.
533
00:23:26,707 --> 00:23:28,408
Thanks.
534
00:23:31,512 --> 00:23:33,680
I thought these two guys
were trying to kill me.
535
00:23:33,714 --> 00:23:35,215
I didn't know they were cops.
536
00:23:35,248 --> 00:23:36,517
That's why you ran?
537
00:23:36,550 --> 00:23:37,618
Yeah, and when
they told me
538
00:23:37,651 --> 00:23:39,185
what they were
arresting me for,
539
00:23:39,219 --> 00:23:41,187
that's the first I heard
about any of this.
540
00:23:41,221 --> 00:23:43,489
You didn't present yourself
to Anita Cosgrove
541
00:23:43,524 --> 00:23:44,525
like she described?
542
00:23:44,558 --> 00:23:46,527
No.
543
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,797
You heard Anita Cosgrove
testify that the perpetrator
544
00:23:50,831 --> 00:23:52,999
had no unusual
physical characteristics?
545
00:23:53,033 --> 00:23:55,035
Is there anything
about your body
546
00:23:55,068 --> 00:23:57,938
that differs
from that description?
547
00:23:57,971 --> 00:23:59,506
Yes, there is.
548
00:23:59,540 --> 00:24:01,942
Could you tell the jury
what that is, please?
549
00:24:01,975 --> 00:24:06,146
I was blessed
with a large penis.
550
00:24:06,179 --> 00:24:07,514
What was that?
551
00:24:07,548 --> 00:24:09,516
I'm huge, judge.
552
00:24:09,550 --> 00:24:10,784
(gallery laughs)
553
00:24:10,817 --> 00:24:12,719
Counsel, step, please --
everybody.
554
00:24:20,026 --> 00:24:22,563
Where the hell
is this going?
555
00:24:22,596 --> 00:24:23,564
The complaining witness
556
00:24:23,597 --> 00:24:25,966
has said that my client
has a sad, little penis
557
00:24:25,999 --> 00:24:28,535
with no unusual
physical characteristics.
558
00:24:28,569 --> 00:24:30,737
That is inconsistent
with the physical evidence
559
00:24:30,771 --> 00:24:32,105
I'm about to introduce.
560
00:24:32,138 --> 00:24:34,608
What introduce?
You're offering photographs?
561
00:24:34,641 --> 00:24:37,243
Actually, no.
I would like the jury
562
00:24:37,277 --> 00:24:38,845
to have a viewing.
563
00:24:38,879 --> 00:24:41,748
You're asking me
to let your client
564
00:24:41,782 --> 00:24:43,283
Drop his pants in court?
565
00:24:43,316 --> 00:24:45,251
Photos wouldn't
do it justice.
566
00:24:45,285 --> 00:24:47,588
The jury wouldn't get
the full dimensional effect.
567
00:24:47,621 --> 00:24:49,255
My client
has a constitutional right
568
00:24:49,289 --> 00:24:51,958
to present his girth,
your honor.
569
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,261
Don't look at me.
570
00:24:55,295 --> 00:24:58,732
That would be lud and lacidious
condouct all over again.
571
00:24:58,765 --> 00:25:02,035
The intent wouild only be
exculpitory evidence.
572
00:25:04,905 --> 00:25:08,174
Well, I'm not
doing it here.
573
00:25:11,712 --> 00:25:13,146
Members of the jury,
574
00:25:13,179 --> 00:25:16,950
we will all be adjourning
to my chambers.
575
00:25:16,983 --> 00:25:18,652
Let's go.
576
00:25:21,254 --> 00:25:23,724
Isn't this exciting?
577
00:25:25,726 --> 00:25:27,694
Well, evidently she knew
578
00:25:27,728 --> 00:25:30,964
she was losing
that incompetency motion,
579
00:25:30,997 --> 00:25:33,333
and killing me
seemed to be
580
00:25:33,366 --> 00:25:37,804
the only other recourse
she had of getting my money.
581
00:25:37,838 --> 00:25:39,706
I can't --
582
00:25:39,740 --> 00:25:41,341
I still can't believe it.
583
00:25:41,374 --> 00:25:43,777
The police don't believe
that Joanne
584
00:25:43,810 --> 00:25:45,912
was trying to kill you.
585
00:25:45,946 --> 00:25:47,614
I must say,
586
00:25:47,648 --> 00:25:51,184
I have a hard time
believing it myself.
587
00:25:51,217 --> 00:25:53,887
They're offering you
a deal --
588
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,058
no contest with 12 months
hospital commitment.
589
00:25:58,091 --> 00:26:00,026
Insanity?
590
00:26:02,696 --> 00:26:03,830
Ridiculous.
591
00:26:03,864 --> 00:26:05,932
Our case is weak.
592
00:26:05,966 --> 00:26:09,102
Didn't they check the knife
for her fingerprints?
593
00:26:09,135 --> 00:26:11,738
It was a kitchen knife, Ray.
594
00:26:11,772 --> 00:26:13,774
She was fixing dinner.
595
00:26:24,718 --> 00:26:27,688
I think we should
take the deal.
596
00:26:29,790 --> 00:26:33,293
It was self-defense, Bobby.
597
00:26:33,326 --> 00:26:37,397
Self-defense, I tell you.
598
00:26:37,430 --> 00:26:40,901
Now, there won't be
any deal.
599
00:26:42,736 --> 00:26:45,706
LINDSAY: You're not the man's
mother or his minister.
600
00:26:45,739 --> 00:26:47,974
If he wants to go down
on self-defense,
601
00:26:48,008 --> 00:26:50,243
that's his right.
602
00:26:50,276 --> 00:26:52,846
I can't accept that.
And by the way,
603
00:26:52,879 --> 00:26:53,980
maybe I am his mother. He's --
604
00:26:54,014 --> 00:26:55,649
We have to listen
to the client.
605
00:26:55,682 --> 00:26:57,383
The client is crazy!
606
00:26:57,417 --> 00:26:58,384
Yesterday you said that was
607
00:26:58,418 --> 00:26:59,686
for the court to decide,
not us.
608
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,421
That was before
he murdered his wife.
609
00:27:01,454 --> 00:27:03,056
He's obviously nuts.
610
00:27:03,089 --> 00:27:05,058
Won't the court order
a psychiatric evaluation
611
00:27:05,091 --> 00:27:06,793
before he can stand trial?
612
00:27:06,827 --> 00:27:09,062
If he understands the charges,
he'll pass the test.
613
00:27:09,095 --> 00:27:11,264
Why don't we see how it goes
before we decide anything?
614
00:27:11,297 --> 00:27:13,266
For the arraignment,
let's enter not guilty.
615
00:27:13,299 --> 00:27:15,268
In which case
Helen will pull the offer
616
00:27:15,301 --> 00:27:17,270
and he could end up
going to prison.
617
00:27:17,303 --> 00:27:19,139
Look, the guy's insane.
Let's just dump him.
618
00:27:19,172 --> 00:27:21,174
Haven't we had enough
crazy clients?
619
00:27:21,207 --> 00:27:24,678
Ask to be let out,
for god's sake.
620
00:27:31,885 --> 00:27:34,120
I know
I've apologized twice,
621
00:27:34,154 --> 00:27:36,857
but I'm going to
do it one more time
622
00:27:36,890 --> 00:27:39,693
to convey the court's
embarrassment.
623
00:27:39,726 --> 00:27:43,029
But every defendant
is entitled
624
00:27:43,063 --> 00:27:46,299
to a complete
and zealous defense.
625
00:27:46,332 --> 00:27:47,801
So...
626
00:27:53,807 --> 00:27:56,276
Mr. Blaylock, go ahead.
627
00:28:14,127 --> 00:28:16,062
What's that --
628
00:28:16,096 --> 00:28:17,063
it's pierced.
629
00:28:17,097 --> 00:28:18,431
Which is another thing
630
00:28:18,464 --> 00:28:19,933
the complaining witness
would have noticed
631
00:28:19,966 --> 00:28:21,267
had it been my client.
632
00:28:21,301 --> 00:28:23,203
All right, we've seen enough,
Mr. Blaylock.
633
00:28:23,236 --> 00:28:25,806
Excuse me, your honor,
I feel that the jury
634
00:28:25,839 --> 00:28:27,473
still has not
the full appreciation
635
00:28:27,508 --> 00:28:29,342
of my client's endowment
636
00:28:29,375 --> 00:28:30,410
in its current state.
637
00:28:30,443 --> 00:28:33,446
What are you asking for now,
that he get aroused?
638
00:28:33,479 --> 00:28:36,850
No, no, if the court will allow,
639
00:28:36,883 --> 00:28:39,452
I will simply place
640
00:28:39,485 --> 00:28:40,921
in the ring...
641
00:28:44,057 --> 00:28:45,759
Ladies and gentamlemen
of the jury.
642
00:28:45,792 --> 00:28:46,527
I object to this.
643
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,795
Hurry up counsel.
644
00:28:49,095 --> 00:28:50,363
You keep looking at me.
645
00:28:54,801 --> 00:28:57,904
It was humiliating, and for
Harland, it was a career high.
646
00:28:57,938 --> 00:28:59,105
It's almost over.
647
00:28:59,139 --> 00:29:00,874
Look, I'm not picking straws on
this kind of crap anymore.
648
00:29:00,907 --> 00:29:02,408
People say,
"Where's the dignity in law
649
00:29:02,442 --> 00:29:03,644
these days?"
Well, it's not in that room.
650
00:29:03,677 --> 00:29:05,411
Well, there's no dignity in
an innocent man going to jail.
651
00:29:05,445 --> 00:29:06,312
If Harland prevents that --
652
00:29:06,346 --> 00:29:08,448
He could have got
the same evidence in
653
00:29:08,481 --> 00:29:10,316
using photographs.
He wanted to be sensational
654
00:29:10,350 --> 00:29:12,152
because he's a loser
who's never won a case.
655
00:29:12,185 --> 00:29:14,087
Come on, Eugene.
We're not above
656
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,523
humiliating other people
to get acquittals.
657
00:29:16,557 --> 00:29:18,424
We can't taste
the medicine ourselves?
658
00:29:18,458 --> 00:29:21,427
-Where's Bobby?
-Right here. What's up?
659
00:29:21,461 --> 00:29:23,163
The stock on ginkgo.
You were right.
660
00:29:23,196 --> 00:29:24,164
Raymond passed
the psychiatric exam.
661
00:29:24,197 --> 00:29:25,532
You see?
662
00:29:25,566 --> 00:29:27,568
They found him competent
to participate in his defense.
663
00:29:27,601 --> 00:29:30,303
Which means he can
reject insanity.
664
00:29:30,336 --> 00:29:32,172
I got to talk to him.
665
00:29:32,205 --> 00:29:34,474
Hey, Lindsay, it's Helen.
666
00:29:34,508 --> 00:29:37,043
She's having a little
roommate problem.
667
00:29:37,077 --> 00:29:39,379
Helen?
668
00:29:39,412 --> 00:29:42,115
She has been holed up
in that room all day.
669
00:29:42,148 --> 00:29:43,449
I try to talk to her,
670
00:29:43,483 --> 00:29:45,385
and she just looks at me
in a violent way.
671
00:29:45,418 --> 00:29:47,954
This is a week after
I save this woman's life.
672
00:29:47,988 --> 00:29:49,422
All right.
673
00:29:53,093 --> 00:29:55,328
(knocks on door)
674
00:30:00,601 --> 00:30:03,436
Hey, what's going on?
675
00:30:06,607 --> 00:30:08,241
Ellenor?
676
00:30:10,611 --> 00:30:13,947
I never apologized to you,
did I?
677
00:30:13,980 --> 00:30:16,482
For what?
678
00:30:16,517 --> 00:30:21,121
What Mcguire said.
I brought George Vogelman to the
party.
679
00:30:21,154 --> 00:30:22,889
He tried to murder you.
680
00:30:22,923 --> 00:30:25,091
Ellenor, you couldn't
have known --
681
00:30:25,125 --> 00:30:27,093
I have to face
the reality, Lindsay.
682
00:30:27,127 --> 00:30:28,529
I have a total incapacity
683
00:30:28,562 --> 00:30:30,496
when it comes
to reading people.
684
00:30:30,531 --> 00:30:32,533
That's not true.
685
00:30:34,300 --> 00:30:36,637
I don't know if I can ever,
686
00:30:36,670 --> 00:30:40,541
ever let myself
trust anybody again.
687
00:30:45,311 --> 00:30:46,847
You will.
688
00:30:49,049 --> 00:30:52,018
No...
689
00:30:52,052 --> 00:30:56,289
I have this
truly awful feeling
690
00:30:56,322 --> 00:30:57,958
that I won't.
691
00:31:00,594 --> 00:31:04,397
And you know George?
692
00:31:04,430 --> 00:31:05,331
I...
693
00:31:09,435 --> 00:31:12,873
Am I sick
for grieving for him?
694
00:31:14,708 --> 00:31:16,577
No.
695
00:31:20,180 --> 00:31:21,615
No.
696
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,029
Of course I passed.
697
00:31:36,062 --> 00:31:38,064
Passing a competency exam
to stand trial
698
00:31:38,098 --> 00:31:40,967
does not mean you're sane.
I don't have to tell you that.
699
00:31:41,001 --> 00:31:44,037
But it does mean
I can direct my lawyers,
700
00:31:44,070 --> 00:31:45,572
and we reject insanity.
701
00:31:45,606 --> 00:31:46,707
Ray.
702
00:31:46,740 --> 00:31:49,142
Did you tell her?
Did you tell Joanne
703
00:31:49,175 --> 00:31:51,411
that I passed
the psychiatric exam?
704
00:31:52,212 --> 00:31:54,214
Raymond...
705
00:31:56,116 --> 00:31:59,986
Joanne is -- is dead.
706
00:32:00,020 --> 00:32:02,288
You're charged
with killing her.
707
00:32:06,192 --> 00:32:07,193
Oh.
708
00:32:07,227 --> 00:32:10,230
Y-yes, she's dead.
709
00:32:13,399 --> 00:32:15,201
Can I see her?
710
00:32:24,144 --> 00:32:26,046
I don't think so.
711
00:32:28,682 --> 00:32:30,751
Listen, the only way
that I can
712
00:32:30,784 --> 00:32:33,654
effectively
represent you here
713
00:32:33,687 --> 00:32:35,622
is to plead insanity.
714
00:32:35,656 --> 00:32:37,123
It's not going to happen.
715
00:32:37,157 --> 00:32:38,491
You confessed.
716
00:32:38,525 --> 00:32:41,494
No. No, I said self-defense,
717
00:32:41,528 --> 00:32:44,030
and they have nothing
to dispute that.
718
00:32:44,064 --> 00:32:46,232
Now, look here,
we have to get
719
00:32:46,266 --> 00:32:47,033
the forensic reports.
720
00:32:47,067 --> 00:32:49,570
Oh, and talk
to Joanne's lawyer.
721
00:32:50,403 --> 00:32:52,305
Privilege does not survive
Joanne's death.
722
00:32:52,338 --> 00:32:54,741
Now, the lawyer may be able
to tell us something.
723
00:32:54,775 --> 00:32:58,645
Raymond, you're ill.
724
00:32:58,679 --> 00:33:02,315
You need to let me
help you.
725
00:33:02,348 --> 00:33:07,588
Look, you say I'm like
a son to you.
726
00:33:07,621 --> 00:33:09,155
At some point,
727
00:33:09,189 --> 00:33:13,259
fathers let their sons
take care of things.
728
00:33:13,293 --> 00:33:16,530
I won't.
I won't plead insanity.
729
00:33:18,799 --> 00:33:22,135
My legacy cannot be that.
730
00:33:22,168 --> 00:33:24,437
I cannot go out on that.
731
00:33:27,574 --> 00:33:31,144
I want to be judged
not guilty
732
00:33:31,177 --> 00:33:33,179
on the elements.
733
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,187
Bobby...
734
00:33:44,124 --> 00:33:46,292
Where --
735
00:33:46,326 --> 00:33:48,194
where is she?
736
00:33:50,463 --> 00:33:52,398
She's gone, Ray.
737
00:33:56,469 --> 00:33:57,604
She's gone.
738
00:34:18,559 --> 00:34:20,193
So you're going
to withdraw?
739
00:34:20,226 --> 00:34:21,261
I don't have any choice.
740
00:34:21,294 --> 00:34:23,196
I don't get why you say that.
You have a choice.
741
00:34:23,229 --> 00:34:24,798
What, go for
a straight not guilty?
742
00:34:24,831 --> 00:34:26,399
Yes. We do it
all the time --
743
00:34:26,432 --> 00:34:29,102
go for straight not guilty
with guilty clients.
744
00:34:29,135 --> 00:34:30,537
Why can't we do it here?
745
00:34:30,571 --> 00:34:31,638
Good question.
746
00:34:31,672 --> 00:34:34,274
It just feels
more obscene here.
747
00:34:34,307 --> 00:34:36,810
I mean, he's --
it's not a game.
748
00:34:36,843 --> 00:34:39,880
It's somebody I love,
and he's gone mad.
749
00:34:39,913 --> 00:34:42,148
But we can get him off
just the same.
750
00:34:42,182 --> 00:34:44,518
It is possible.
751
00:34:46,386 --> 00:34:49,122
I have a bit
of a confession to make.
752
00:34:49,155 --> 00:34:50,824
I'm a lousy lawyer.
753
00:34:50,857 --> 00:34:52,759
Not that it's relevant
754
00:34:52,793 --> 00:34:55,228
or even appropriate
for me to talk about
755
00:34:55,261 --> 00:34:57,197
in a closing argument,
756
00:34:57,230 --> 00:34:59,666
but I've never won
a jury trial.
757
00:34:59,700 --> 00:35:01,501
About 10 years ago
758
00:35:01,535 --> 00:35:04,738
I lost so much confidence,
I only took on clients
759
00:35:04,771 --> 00:35:06,907
I knew were guilty.
760
00:35:06,940 --> 00:35:09,409
That way when the conviction
came down,
761
00:35:09,442 --> 00:35:12,913
I wouldn't feel
totally responsible.
762
00:35:12,946 --> 00:35:15,481
But it hurts...
763
00:35:15,516 --> 00:35:17,918
Never winning.
764
00:35:17,951 --> 00:35:19,219
Mr. Bassett.
765
00:35:19,252 --> 00:35:21,154
Sorry.
766
00:35:23,256 --> 00:35:25,659
But I took on
an innocent one here,
767
00:35:25,692 --> 00:35:28,662
ladies and gentlemen.
768
00:35:28,695 --> 00:35:31,765
I'd like to say
it was for his sake,
769
00:35:31,798 --> 00:35:34,868
but it was more for mine.
770
00:35:34,901 --> 00:35:37,871
The physical evidence
771
00:35:37,904 --> 00:35:40,273
completely and totally
contradicts
772
00:35:40,306 --> 00:35:42,509
the complaining witness'
testimony.
773
00:35:42,543 --> 00:35:46,813
She identified the wrong man.
774
00:35:48,815 --> 00:35:52,418
And, even a terrible lawyer
can't change
775
00:35:52,452 --> 00:35:57,257
what we all know
to be the truth.
776
00:35:57,290 --> 00:35:59,793
Marvin Blaylock
777
00:35:59,826 --> 00:36:03,229
is an innocent man.
778
00:36:29,790 --> 00:36:31,592
Commonwealth
versus Raymond Oz,
779
00:36:31,625 --> 00:36:32,859
murder in the first degree.
780
00:36:32,893 --> 00:36:34,795
Bobby Donnell for
the defense. Waive reading.
781
00:36:34,828 --> 00:36:35,729
Helen Gamble
for the commonwealth.
782
00:36:35,762 --> 00:36:37,731
The defendant enters a plea
of not guilty.
783
00:36:37,764 --> 00:36:38,999
We'd ask that Mr. Oz
be released
784
00:36:39,032 --> 00:36:40,366
on his own recognizance.
785
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:41,902
Did he undergo
a psychiatric?
786
00:36:41,935 --> 00:36:43,269
And passed.
787
00:36:43,303 --> 00:36:44,738
He has established roots
in the community.
788
00:36:44,771 --> 00:36:45,872
He's well known.
789
00:36:45,906 --> 00:36:48,809
$1 million bond,
$200,000 cash.
790
00:36:48,842 --> 00:36:52,979
Your honor, I'd like
to represent myself.
791
00:36:53,013 --> 00:36:56,382
Mr. Oz, I need
hardly remind you
792
00:36:56,416 --> 00:36:59,385
that a man who hires himself
for his lawyer --
793
00:36:59,419 --> 00:37:01,454
gets billed just the same.
794
00:37:01,487 --> 00:37:02,923
I'm well aware, your honor.
795
00:37:02,956 --> 00:37:07,661
However, since most people
would seek out Raymond Oz
796
00:37:07,694 --> 00:37:08,995
in this circumstance,
797
00:37:09,029 --> 00:37:11,297
I see no reason why
I shouldn't do the same,
798
00:37:11,331 --> 00:37:13,567
particularly when I stand
a pretty good chance
799
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:14,835
of reaching him.
800
00:37:14,868 --> 00:37:16,737
I don't think
it's appropriate
801
00:37:16,770 --> 00:37:18,905
to enjoy a murder trial,
Mr. Oz,
802
00:37:18,939 --> 00:37:21,775
especially when
your own wife is the victim.
803
00:37:21,808 --> 00:37:25,779
Well, your honor, I...
804
00:37:30,884 --> 00:37:34,387
I think that I understand
the, uh,
805
00:37:34,420 --> 00:37:36,757
risks of self-representation,
806
00:37:36,790 --> 00:37:38,959
and I am prepared
to assume them,
807
00:37:38,992 --> 00:37:41,662
and it is my right.
808
00:37:41,695 --> 00:37:44,631
Your honor does believe
in rights, I assume,
809
00:37:44,665 --> 00:37:46,767
unless, of course,
the reports
810
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,804
of your judicial integrity
are exaggerated.
811
00:37:52,539 --> 00:37:54,941
I will allow you
to represent yourself,
812
00:37:54,975 --> 00:37:57,978
but I'm ordering Mr. Donnell
to stay on as co-counsel.
813
00:37:58,011 --> 00:37:59,445
I don't need him.
814
00:37:59,479 --> 00:38:01,782
Well, then you'll
just have to humor me.
815
00:38:01,815 --> 00:38:04,417
I would like to have
an immediate trial date,
816
00:38:04,450 --> 00:38:06,520
your honor.
There's no discovery necessary,
817
00:38:06,553 --> 00:38:07,954
and I will stipulate
to the forensics.
818
00:38:07,988 --> 00:38:10,090
And I am an old man,
819
00:38:10,123 --> 00:38:11,958
and I really would like
to be acquitted
820
00:38:11,992 --> 00:38:13,527
before I die.
821
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,696
We can go in three weeks,
822
00:38:15,729 --> 00:38:18,999
as long as Ms. Gamble
doesn't object.
823
00:38:19,032 --> 00:38:20,166
We can be ready.
824
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,537
Mr. Oz, I have half a mind
to declare you incompetent.
825
00:38:23,570 --> 00:38:26,707
And if you had the other half,
you could call me crazy.
826
00:38:26,740 --> 00:38:28,642
(laughter)
827
00:38:28,675 --> 00:38:30,376
See probation.
828
00:38:30,410 --> 00:38:32,445
We'll conference,
set a trial date.
829
00:38:32,478 --> 00:38:33,479
Adjourned.
830
00:38:33,514 --> 00:38:35,081
WOMAN: Mr. Oz.
831
00:38:35,115 --> 00:38:38,118
Mr. Oz, what will be
your legal strategy?
832
00:38:38,151 --> 00:38:40,554
I wouldn't presume
to declare
833
00:38:40,587 --> 00:38:42,355
a legal strategy,
ladies and gentlemen.
834
00:38:42,388 --> 00:38:43,857
No, suffice it to say,
any lawyer
835
00:38:43,890 --> 00:38:46,860
considers himself lucky
if the facts in a case
836
00:38:46,893 --> 00:38:48,795
support his claim,
and here they do.
837
00:38:48,829 --> 00:38:51,331
You ready for this?
838
00:38:52,398 --> 00:38:53,634
Are you?
839
00:38:53,667 --> 00:38:55,702
Forgot to ask a very simple
840
00:38:55,736 --> 00:38:57,370
and important question --
841
00:38:57,403 --> 00:39:00,373
what really happened?
What really happened?
842
00:39:00,406 --> 00:39:03,476
Now, I not only intend
to raise that question,
843
00:39:03,510 --> 00:39:06,647
but I intend
to answer it fully.
844
00:39:23,764 --> 00:39:26,733
Thank you.
845
00:39:26,767 --> 00:39:29,603
Will the defendant
please rise?
846
00:39:31,505 --> 00:39:34,107
Madame foreperson, the jury
has reached a verdict?
847
00:39:34,140 --> 00:39:35,475
We have.
848
00:39:35,509 --> 00:39:37,177
What say you?
849
00:39:37,210 --> 00:39:38,945
Commonwealth
vs Marvin Blaylock
850
00:39:38,979 --> 00:39:40,747
on the charge of lewd
and lascivious behavior --
851
00:39:40,781 --> 00:39:44,017
we find the defendant
Marvin Blaylock...
852
00:39:44,050 --> 00:39:45,418
Guilty.
853
00:39:45,451 --> 00:39:46,753
What?
854
00:39:46,787 --> 00:39:49,756
Members of the jury,
this completes your service.
855
00:39:49,790 --> 00:39:53,594
You're free to go
with the court's thanks.
856
00:39:53,627 --> 00:39:55,862
Mr. Blaylock, see probation.
857
00:39:55,896 --> 00:39:58,765
We'll be heard on sentencing
next Tuesday.
858
00:39:58,799 --> 00:40:00,701
Adjourned.
859
00:40:00,734 --> 00:40:03,704
I can't -- what happened?
860
00:40:03,737 --> 00:40:05,772
You tried a good case,
Harland.
861
00:40:05,806 --> 00:40:08,141
I-I don't understand.
862
00:40:08,174 --> 00:40:10,644
MAN: Mr. Young?
863
00:40:17,984 --> 00:40:20,220
I'm Dr. Robert Pyne.
I was on the jury.
864
00:40:20,253 --> 00:40:23,056
I know I'm not supposed
to say anything, but...
865
00:40:23,089 --> 00:40:24,224
But what?
866
00:40:24,257 --> 00:40:25,959
I'm a plastic surgeon.
867
00:40:25,992 --> 00:40:28,529
I specialize
in penile enlargement.
868
00:40:28,562 --> 00:40:30,096
I saw the markings.
869
00:40:30,130 --> 00:40:32,533
Your client
altered the evidence.
870
00:40:32,566 --> 00:40:34,701
Is that what was
discussed back there?
871
00:40:34,735 --> 00:40:36,570
Your honor.
872
00:40:36,603 --> 00:40:39,873
Mr. Crilly, approach.
873
00:40:42,609 --> 00:40:45,178
Defense moves for a mistrial.
874
00:40:45,211 --> 00:40:47,480
This juror's a plastic surgeon
who offered testimony
875
00:40:47,514 --> 00:40:49,983
during deliberations
which affected the verdict.
876
00:40:50,016 --> 00:40:50,851
What?
877
00:40:50,884 --> 00:40:53,019
He's a plastic surgeon.
He saw scars.
878
00:40:53,053 --> 00:40:55,556
He concluded that my client
had his penis enlarged.
879
00:40:55,589 --> 00:40:57,090
Is that true?
880
00:40:57,123 --> 00:40:59,593
-Yes.
-You got to throw it out, judge.
881
00:40:59,626 --> 00:41:01,127
Why? The jury's free
to evaluate --
882
00:41:01,161 --> 00:41:02,829
this guy's a plastic surgeon
who off--
883
00:41:02,863 --> 00:41:05,131
look, I've wasted enough time
on this case.
884
00:41:05,165 --> 00:41:07,734
I am not going to start over.
885
00:41:07,768 --> 00:41:10,971
The deliberations
were tainted.
886
00:41:16,810 --> 00:41:20,681
30-day sentence, all suspended,
conditioned on counseling.
887
00:41:20,714 --> 00:41:23,917
You can't do better than that.
You won't with a new trial.
888
00:41:24,017 --> 00:41:25,185
No time served?
889
00:41:25,218 --> 00:41:27,721
Take it and smile.
890
00:41:27,754 --> 00:41:29,055
Done.
891
00:41:33,259 --> 00:41:34,895
All suspended.
892
00:41:34,928 --> 00:41:37,163
You don't serve a day.
We got to get you counseling.
893
00:41:37,197 --> 00:41:39,633
-But no time?
-No time.
894
00:41:39,666 --> 00:41:40,801
Great.
895
00:41:43,904 --> 00:41:45,171
Harland?
896
00:41:45,205 --> 00:41:46,807
Huh?
897
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,810
Oh, great.
898
00:41:49,843 --> 00:41:52,145
Good result.
899
00:41:52,178 --> 00:41:54,648
Good...
900
00:41:54,681 --> 00:41:56,850
Result.
901
00:42:26,947 --> 00:42:29,950
(crying)
902
00:42:48,101 --> 00:42:49,970
And so, ladies and gentlemen,
903
00:42:50,003 --> 00:42:52,806
after all the evidence
has been presented,
904
00:42:52,839 --> 00:42:55,241
you must take it back
into that room
905
00:42:55,275 --> 00:42:57,978
along with your duty --
906
00:42:58,011 --> 00:43:00,346
your duty to uphold the law,
907
00:43:00,380 --> 00:43:04,985
your duty to hold the state
to its burden of proof.
908
00:43:05,018 --> 00:43:07,087
Because, you see,
ladies and gentlemen,
909
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,990
this is still a country
where people are free,
910
00:43:10,023 --> 00:43:12,726
and for you to take away
a man's freedom,
911
00:43:12,759 --> 00:43:15,261
for you to remove him
from the free world,
912
00:43:15,295 --> 00:43:18,098
you must find guilt
beyond reasonable doubt.
913
00:43:18,131 --> 00:43:19,900
That is all doubt.
914
00:43:19,933 --> 00:43:21,301
Not most doubt,
915
00:43:21,334 --> 00:43:24,137
not a great majority
of doubt,
916
00:43:24,170 --> 00:43:26,139
all doubt.
917
00:43:26,172 --> 00:43:28,408
All right, all right.
918
00:43:28,441 --> 00:43:32,145
Duty, land of the free,
919
00:43:32,178 --> 00:43:34,047
all doubt.
920
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:35,081
Yeah.
921
00:43:42,055 --> 00:43:45,058
♪
922
00:44:08,849 --> 00:44:09,850
WOMAN: You stinker!
