| [01:10] | I see you met Smitty. | |
| [01:12] | What you got? | |
| [01:14] | Ooh, you’re gonna love these. | |
| [01:15] | Just got a new shipment. | |
| [01:17] | Sneakers, football jerseys, | |
| [01:19] | – wallets. – (KNOCKING) | |
| [01:20] | MAN: Looking for Darius, I heard | |
| [01:21] | he got sneakers. | |
| [01:28] | FBI! Nobody move. I’m Agent Mike Blair. | |
| [01:31] | – Hands where I can see ’em. – (CHUCKLES) | |
| [01:33] | Officer, Officer, um, I know what this looks like, | |
| [01:36] | but it’s-it’s not what you think, all right? | |
| [01:38] | We have receipts for all of this. | |
| [01:40] | AGENT: Hands behind your back. | |
| [01:41] | Yo, yo, I can vouch for him, man. | |
| [01:43] | It’s-it’s all legit. None of this stuff is stolen. | |
| [01:46] | Who are you? You guys partners? | |
| [01:48] | Cuff him as well. | |
| [01:52] | CHUNK: Mr. Lambert. | |
| [01:54] | You’re being charged with violation of trademark laws. | |
| [01:57] | Selling counterfeit goods. | |
| [02:01] | My name is Chunk Palmer and I’ll be your public defender. | |
| [02:05] | I should also inform you that while I’m not yet | |
| [02:07] | a fully-licensed criminal attorney, | |
| [02:09] | and I’ve yet to pass the bar, | |
| [02:11] | I’m participating in a law school clinic | |
| [02:13] | supervised by a professor and a licensed attorney | |
| [02:16] | in a program sanctioned by the New York City courts. | |
| [02:19] | So, wait… you’re-you’re not a real lawyer? | |
| [02:22] | Well, the city thinks I’m real enough. | |
| [02:25] | Look, Mister… | |
| [02:26] | Lambert, I assure you, (CHUCKLES) | |
| [02:29] | you will not find an attorney who will work harder for you. | |
| [02:31] | You’ll be my only client, my sole concern. | |
| [02:34] | Do I have a choice? | |
| [02:36] | Well, you can hire your own counsel if you’d like. | |
| [02:38] | But that costs money, right? | |
| [02:40] | Well, what can I say? | |
| [02:41] | Look, everybody starts somewhere. | |
| [02:42] | Everyone has their first case. | |
| [02:44] | Your first case? | |
| [02:46] | So, according to this, | |
| [02:48] | you were arrested | |
| [02:49] | with someone named Raymond Hill? | |
| [02:51] | Yeah. Raymond… he’s… he’s like a friend of a friend. | |
| [02:54] | A guy from the neighborhood. | |
| [02:56] | He’s the one that got me into it. | |
| [02:58] | He brings the goods, I do the selling, | |
| [03:00] | but it’s not stolen or nothing. | |
| [03:02] | Come on, man. | |
| [03:04] | Someone shows up with designer goods in cardboard boxes, | |
| [03:06] | and you don’t smell something’s up? | |
| [03:08] | Look… | |
| [03:10] | my grandfather owns a barbershop. | |
| [03:13] | We’ve been having money problems… taxes were due, | |
| [03:15] | bills were piling up. | |
| [03:16] | I was just wanting to help out. | |
| [03:18] | Raymond… he kept coming by the-the shop | |
| [03:20] | when we were closing, and-and saying | |
| [03:22] | that he had a way I could make some fast cash… | |
| [03:24] | – Selling counterfeit handbags. – Yeah. | |
| [03:26] | And watches and-and sneakers. | |
| [03:28] | And I said no, but he kept coming by the shop | |
| [03:31] | with this merchandise. | |
| [03:32] | Fancy-ass names, fancy-ass designs. | |
| [03:35] | – And, finally, I said yes. – Come on, man. | |
| [03:38] | You had to know they were knock-offs. | |
| [03:40] | I knew, but so do my customers. | |
| [03:43] | I figured it couldn’t be a crime if everyone was in on it. | |
| [03:48] | All right. | |
| [03:49] | Look, I’m-I’m gonna go find a marshal, | |
| [03:51] | and we’re gonna get you arraigned. | |
| [03:54] | Your Honor, counterfeiting is a trillion dollar industry. | |
| [03:56] | It’s the largest criminal enterprise in the world. | |
| [03:59] | And it’s not a victimless crime. | |
| [04:01] | It involves the theft of intellectual property. | |
| [04:03] | The goods are often made in factories that rely on | |
| [04:06] | child labor and human trafficking, and | |
| [04:08] | frequently, the profits are used to fund terrorist organizations. | |
| [04:10] | Your Honor, my client is not a terrorist. | |
| [04:12] | That’s not what I’m implying. | |
| [04:13] | You’ll get your turn, sir. | |
| [04:16] | I understand the severity of the charges. | |
| [04:19] | Is there a request for bail? | |
| [04:21] | $5,000 cash. | |
| [04:24] | I’ll hear arguments. | |
| [04:25] | This is not Mr. Lambert’s first brush with the law. | |
| [04:28] | He was convicted | |
| [04:29] | four years ago for stealing a car. | |
| [04:31] | I’ll hear you on bail. | |
| [04:33] | Thank you, Your Honor. | |
| [04:35] | My name is Chunk Palmer, student defender, | |
| [04:38] | and I represent Mr. Lambert. | |
| [04:40] | And just to provide a little context for the larceny charge, | |
| [04:43] | he was a juvenile and it was his sister’s car. | |
| [04:46] | Nonetheless, he’s still on probation for that case. | |
| [04:49] | So, if he’s convicted in this case, | |
| [04:50] | he’d be violating that probation, | |
| [04:52] | which could mean an additional sentence. | |
| [04:53] | The purpose of the bail statute is to assure | |
| [04:56] | the defendant’s return to court for trial. | |
| [04:59] | My client will most certainly return, as he is eager | |
| [05:01] | to litigate the allegations against him. | |
| [05:04] | He is the furthest thing from a flight risk. | |
| [05:06] | He has deep roots in the community. | |
| [05:09] | In fact, he’s lived in the same neighborhood his entire life. | |
| [05:11] | Give me a dollar amount. | |
| [05:14] | Actually, I’m requesting that he be released | |
| [05:16] | on his own personal recognizance. | |
| [05:22] | Okay. | |
| [05:24] | Excuse me? | |
| [05:25] | I find your request to be reasonable. | |
| [05:28] | Personal recognizance. | |
| [05:31] | Next case. | |

| [05:36] | Hi, Diana’s voice mail. | |
| [05:38] | You probably don’t remember me. My name’s Jason Bull. | |
| [05:40] | I… know you’re angry with me. | |
| [05:43] | I know I invited you to New York | |
| [05:44] | and then I uninvited you to New York, | |
| [05:46] | but I’ve been trying to apologize for a while now. | |
| [05:48] | I keep calling, but I only get your voice mail? | |
| [05:50] | And I keep leaving these messages, | |
| [05:52] | but I never get a message back? | |
| [05:53] | – Did you block me? – (KNOCKING) | |
| [05:56] | He just left town with nothing but the clothes on his back! | |
| [05:59] | That wasn’t for you. That was… | |
| [06:00] | It doesn’t matter. | |
| [06:03] | Diana… | |
| [06:05] | could you call me, please, or text me | |
| [06:07] | or send me an e-mail or something? | |
| [06:09] | I miss you. | |
| [06:13] | Come in! | |
| [06:15] | You in the middle of something? | |
| [06:16] | No. Yes. | |
| [06:19] | You ever been blocked? | |
| [06:20] | What… in football? | |
| [06:22] | Oh. Let’s start over. | |
| [06:25] | – What can I do for you, sir? – Well, | |
| [06:27] | I kind of wanted to tell you | |
| [06:28] | that I won my first bail argument today, | |
| [06:30] | – my first anything argument in court. – Hey! | |
| [06:33] | If I were still drinking, I’d say, “Let’s drink to that.” | |
| [06:35] | – Feel free to persuade me. – Yeah. | |
| [06:36] | – Congratulations. – Thank you. | |
| [06:38] | Unfortunately, I have a hunch the feeling is fleeting. | |
| [06:41] | Case I’ve been assigned is a slam dunk… for the other side. | |
| [06:44] | – Mm. Welcome to the jungle. – Yeah. | |
| [06:47] | Poor kid was in the middle of selling some $40 sneakers | |
| [06:49] | in the back of his grandfather’s barbershop | |
| [06:51] | when the FBI burst in and told him | |
| [06:53] | he’s under arrest for copyright infringement. | |
| [06:56] | Hmm. You mean like those guys selling knock-off scarves | |
| [06:59] | and bags on every street corner of Manhattan? | |
| [07:01] | Yeah, but at least my guy had the good sense | |
| [07:03] | to do it behind closed doors. | |
| [07:05] | If I don’t win this case, | |
| [07:06] | he’s looking at ten years in prison. | |
| [07:08] | (PHONE RINGS) | |
| [07:10] | Oh. I’m sorry. | |
| [07:12] | Darius. | |
| [07:14] | No, slow down. They what? | |
| [07:17] | Well, are there agents there now? | |
| [07:21] | All right, look, hold tight. | |
| [07:23] | I’ll be there as soon as I can. | |
| [07:25] | I’m sorry. I got to head back out to Brooklyn. | |
| [07:28] | This lawyer thing is a full-time job, isn’t it? | |
| [07:31] | If you do it right. Let me give you a lift. | |
| [07:34] | (POLICE RADIO CHATTER) | |
| [07:43] | DARIUS: There he is. | |
| [07:44] | It’s my lawyer. | |
| [07:46] | Darius, what the hell’s going on? | |
| [07:48] | They locked us out of our own store, | |
| [07:50] | – changed the locks. – Man from the government | |
| [07:53] | comes into my shop, hands me these papers, | |
| [07:56] | tells me I got to leave. | |
| [07:57] | WOMAN: They’re trying to take my grandpa’s business. | |
| [08:00] | I’m Sasha, by the way. Darius is my brother. | |
| [08:02] | It’s nice to meet you, Sasha. | |
| [08:04] | Your sister’s right. | |
| [08:05] | It’s a notice of forfeiture. | |
| [08:07] | The government is taking ownership of the barbershop. | |
| [08:11] | Oh, by the way, this is my boss, Dr. Jason Bull. | |
| [08:14] | The government’s alleging your barbershop’s an instrument | |
| [08:17] | of crime because it’s where | |
| [08:19] | Darius was selling counterfeit merchandise? | |
| [08:21] | My grandfather didn’t even know what I was doing. | |
| [08:23] | I-I thought maybe he was selling his homemade shaving butter. | |
| [08:27] | I was. Oh, this is… this is crazy, man. | |
| [08:30] | This is crazy. If… My grandpa didn’t do nothing. | |
| [08:33] | They can’t just come and-and-and take his business | |
| [08:35] | if he didn’t do anything. | |
| [08:36] | Can they? | |
| [08:37] | Unfortunately, the asset forfeiture law allows | |
| [08:40] | the government to seize property that furthers criminal activity. | |
| [08:43] | Why would they want my place? | |
| [08:45] | We’re barely getting by. | |
| [08:46] | You own the building. | |
| [08:48] | You own the land it sits on. The neighborhood’s changing. | |
| [08:51] | In a few years, it’s gonna be worth a lot more | |
| [08:53] | than it’s worth now, and then the government can sell it. | |
| [08:55] | So what are we gonna do? | |
| [08:57] | Maybe you can be his lawyer, too? | |
| [08:59] | Unfortunately, I can’t. I’m only allowed one case. | |
| [09:01] | Maybe we could find a new public defender? | |
| [09:03] | No. Fighting the forfeiture is a civil matter. | |
| [09:06] | You’re only entitled to a public defender in criminal cases. | |
| [09:09] | Hell, I can’t afford a lawyer. | |
| [09:12] | Hey, you guys can’t just stand here. | |
| [09:15] | Disperse, or I’ll put you under arrest. | |
| [09:17] | BULL: Hey. | |
| [09:19] | I think you need to talk to me. | |
| [09:20] | And who are you? | |
| [09:21] | My name is Dr. Jason Bull, | |
| [09:23] | and my firms represents the man who actually owns | |
| [09:25] | this shop, Mister… | |
| [09:27] | Lambert. | |
| [09:29] | William Lambert, owner and proprietor. | |
| [09:31] | BULL: Not the grandson you busted for selling | |
| [09:34] | knock-offs out the back door, | |
| [09:35] | and not this gentleman, who’s representing him. | |
| [09:37] | Me, who you’re gonna face in court | |
| [09:39] | if you don’t vacate this man’s private property now. | |
| [09:42] | You want to go to court with the FBI? | |
| [09:44] | Question is does the FBI want to go to court with me? | |
| [09:47] | I have no idea who you are, sir, | |
| [09:48] | but my answer would be an emphatic yes. | |
| [09:50] | I’ll see you in court. | |
| [10:03] | Knock, knock, knock. | |
| [10:05] | Hey, Dr. Bull wanted me to see if you needed any help. | |
| [10:08] | – Any investigative assistance? – Oh… | |
| [10:10] | We’re running a one-time only special for rookie lawyers. | |
| [10:12] | Nice. Yeah. I need you to investigate | |
| [10:14] | how I can get this case dismissed. | |
| [10:16] | Oh, that’s the attitude. Surrender before the attack. | |
| [10:18] | No, I’m serious. | |
| [10:20] | They caught this kid dead to rights. | |
| [10:21] | I have no idea how I’m gonna defend him. | |
| [10:25] | Who knew selling knock-offs was such a heinous crime? | |
| [10:28] | Yeah. It’s funny. When I was at Vogue, | |
| [10:30] | I saw all kinds of counterfeit everything. | |
| [10:32] | I mean, some of the stuff, you could barely tell the difference | |
| [10:35] | between the fake and the real thing. | |
| [10:38] | (SIGHS) | |
| [10:40] | You know… | |
| [10:42] | maybe if I could prove that this kid | |
| [10:44] | was selling really bad replicas, I really could get the court | |
| [10:47] | to dismiss the whole case. | |
| [10:50] | I don’t follow. On what grounds? | |
| [10:52] | Well, I might be able to argue | |
| [10:54] | that Darius’s knockoffs were so poorly made | |
| [10:56] | that there’s no way that anyone could confuse them | |
| [10:58] | with the real thing. | |
| [11:00] | Mm. | |
| [11:02] | Is there any chance I could convince you | |
| [11:04] | to go downtown to the FBI evidence room | |
| [11:07] | and… check out the merchandise first-hand? | |
| [11:11] | All part of the rookie lawyer special. | |
| [11:30] | ♪ | |
| [11:48] | Yeah. Well, let me discuss it with Bull and Benny. | |
| [11:51] | Yeah. | |
| [11:53] | See you tonight. | |
| [11:55] | (SIGHS) | |
| [11:57] | That was Danny. | |
| [11:59] | She said all the merchandise she saw looked pretty convincing. | |
| [12:02] | Apparently I’m not gonna be able to get this case dismissed | |
| [12:04] | because the goods don’t look good enough. | |
| [12:06] | – Mm. – Here come our clients. | |
| [12:10] | She also told me that some of the handbags | |
| [12:12] | that they confiscated from Darius | |
| [12:14] | have other older evidence tags inside of them. | |
| [12:16] | Almost like they’ve been used as evidence before | |
| [12:18] | in other cases. | |
| [12:20] | That doesn’t make any sense. | |
| [12:21] | She’s photographing everything, | |
| [12:23] | so we’ll be able to compare notes tonight. | |
| [12:24] | BENNY: Your Honor, the asset forfeiture laws | |
| [12:27] | were intended to stop drug dealers who use… | |
| [12:30] | cars and planes and boats to transport contraband. | |
| [12:35] | My client doesn’t sell drugs. | |
| [12:36] | He cuts hair. | |
| [12:38] | Clearly, this is a gross misuse of this law. | |
| [12:40] | Your Honor, this hearing is supposed to be | |
| [12:43] | about an injunction. | |
| [12:44] | We are not here to argue the legality of the seizure. | |
| [12:47] | But we should be. | |
| [12:49] | Taking Mr. Lambert’s barbershop without a fair hearing is | |
| [12:53] | a violation of his fundamental right to due process. | |
| [12:55] | I’ve read your brief, | |
| [12:57] | and I’m afraid I agree with the plaintiff. | |
| [12:58] | BENNY: Your Honor, respectfully… | |
| [13:01] | the government took my client’s only source of income. | |
| [13:04] | How is he supposed to survive? | |
| [13:05] | Even if he wins this case, he will be so behind on his bills | |
| [13:09] | that he will still lose his business. | |
| [13:11] | Be that as it may, I’m going to deny the defendant’s motion. | |
| [13:13] | But, given your concerns | |
| [13:15] | about due process, I can fast-track this case. | |
| [13:19] | Trial begins tomorrow. | |
| [13:20] | We’re adjourned. | |
| [13:22] | I only see one way to go on this. | |
| [13:24] | The “innocent owner” defense. We argue that the government | |
| [13:26] | had no right to take Willie’s property | |
| [13:28] | because, A, he didn’t do anything wrong | |
| [13:30] | and, B, he didn’t know anything criminal was taking place | |
| [13:33] | – on his property. – BENNY: Eh. Problem is | |
| [13:35] | we have to prove a negative. | |
| [13:37] | How do you mean? | |
| [13:39] | Well, we have to convince a jury | |
| [13:40] | that Willie didn’t know what Darius was doing. | |
| [13:43] | Right? That’s a negative. | |
| [13:45] | It’s really hard to prove what someone didn’t know. | |
| [13:48] | (KNOCKING) | |
| [13:50] | If you come bearing food, enter. | |
| [13:52] | No food. Not yet. | |
| [13:54] | But I do come bearing an interesting factoid. | |
| [13:56] | – We’ll be the judge of that. – So, Raymond… | |
| [13:59] | the guy Darius was arrested with, | |
| [14:00] | the guy who was supplying him the merchandise… | |
| [14:02] | he was never arraigned. | |
| [14:04] | Well, how is that possible? | |
| [14:06] | He’s an FBI agent. | |
| [14:08] | MARISSA: Wait, so what are you saying… | |
| [14:10] | that he put that young man up to it? | |
| [14:12] | BULL: Well, that explains those | |
| [14:14] | earlier evidence tags you found in the merchandise. | |
| [14:16] | He obviously gets his goods out of the evidence locker. | |
| [14:18] | Thank you, Raymond. | |
| [14:20] | Finally. I’ve got a defense. | |
| [14:22] | Entrapment. | |
| [14:24] | Ha! I may actually graduate with honors. | |
| [14:27] | Look, according to Darius, | |
| [14:29] | this Raymond was all over him | |
| [14:31] | trying to get him to sell his merchandise. | |
| [14:33] | Now, think about it… without Raymond, | |
| [14:35] | Darius never would have committed this crime. | |
| [14:39] | I can’t wait to cross-examine this dude. | |
| [14:41] | BENNY: Hold on a second, Chunk. | |
| [14:42] | You don’t want to go barking up that tree. | |
| [14:45] | This FBI guy didn’t turn Darius into a criminal. | |
| [14:47] | Didn’t you tell me he already had a record? | |
| [14:50] | Oh, please. He was | |
| [14:51] | 16 years old, and it was his sister’s car. | |
| [14:53] | Yes, but the prosecutor | |
| [14:54] | is gonna use it to demonstrate he had | |
| [14:57] | – a criminal past. – TAYLOR: I thought you weren’t allowed | |
| [14:59] | to bring up a person’s past. | |
| [15:00] | They can if you accuse them of entrapment. | |
| [15:03] | I promise you they will read into record | |
| [15:05] | every bad thing he’s ever done. | |
| [15:08] | If he stole a candy bar when he was ten, | |
| [15:10] | they’ll tell the jury about it. | |
| [15:12] | Plus, if you go with entrapment, you’ll have to admit that Darius | |
| [15:15] | was actually selling the counterfeit goods. | |
| [15:18] | There’ll be no wiggle room to argue his innocence. | |
| [15:21] | It’s too risky. Tell him. | |
| [15:23] | You just told him. | |
| [15:25] | You get it, don’t you? | |
| [15:26] | It’s 3-D chess. | |
| [15:28] | Whatever you do, we inherit. | |
| [15:30] | So you have to be really careful. | |
| [15:33] | I get it. | |
| [15:35] | I do. | |
| [15:36] | And understand, if you do anything | |
| [15:37] | to jeopardize Willie’s case… our client’s case… | |
| [15:40] | we will be duty bound to protect Willie and his business, | |
| [15:43] | even if it means rolling over you and your client. | |
| [15:47] | I get that, too. | |
| [15:50] | Wai… | |
| [15:51] | (SCOFFS QUIETLY) | |
| [15:53] | W-Wait a second. Wait a second. | |
| [15:54] | Bull, wait a second. | |
| [15:57] | I… Okay, fine. | |
| [16:00] | No entrapment. | |
| [16:02] | See you in court, Counselor. | |
| [16:09] | My client is a 20-year-old man doing all he can | |
| [16:13] | to make enough money to keep himself | |
| [16:16] | and his family afloat. | |
| [16:17] | All of us remember 20, right? Big year. | |
| [16:21] | Big year for my client. | |
| [16:23] | He opened his first checking account. | |
| [16:25] | Rented his first apartment, got his first credit card, | |
| [16:29] | his first cell phone account. | |
| [16:32] | Lots of important firsts. | |
| [16:34] | Now, the government will tell you | |
| [16:36] | that this same young man who lives in a single room | |
| [16:39] | with a hot plate and a bathtub in his kitchen | |
| [16:42] | is actually threatening the copyrights | |
| [16:46] | of some famous designers and huge apparel companies. | |
| [16:49] | How? By selling cheap copies | |
| [16:52] | out of the back of his grandfather’s barber shop. | |
| [16:56] | You know the ones I mean. | |
| [16:57] | You see them on the street corners, | |
| [16:59] | where thousands of people walk by | |
| [17:01] | and hundreds of people stop to buy things. | |
| [17:05] | But those vendors | |
| [17:07] | aren’t here in court. | |
| [17:11] | My 20-year-old client, who’s done maybe | |
| [17:14] | $1,000 worth of sales in the past month… | |
| [17:17] | he’s here. | |
| [17:19] | It’s a bit of a head-scratcher, isn’t it? | |
| [17:21] | MARISSA (OVER EARBUD): Oh, these jurors are | |
| [17:23] | lovin’ them some Chunk. It’s like he’s been | |
| [17:25] | doing it all his life. | |
| [17:27] | – Shh. I don’t want to miss anything. – CHUNK: But it gets crazier. | |
| [17:29] | What if I told you that the merchandise that he was selling | |
| [17:32] | came from the same people who arrested him? | |
| [17:36] | That’s right… they supplied the goods. | |
| [17:39] | And not only that. When he told them, | |
| [17:41] | “No, I don’t want to sell | |
| [17:42] | “your cheap copies of expensive purses | |
| [17:45] | and watches and sneakers,” | |
| [17:47] | they kept coming back and badgering him. | |
| [17:50] | Oh, gee. | |
| [17:52] | It looks like he’s doing the very thing | |
| [17:53] | Benny and Bull asked him not to do. | |
| [17:54] | – Yeah. – CHUNK: There’s a name for that, folks. | |
| [17:56] | But didn’t you say the jury was loving it? | |
| [17:58] | It’s called entrapment. | |
| [18:01] | And if you look the word up | |
| [18:03] | in the dictionary, it literally means | |
| [18:05] | tricking someone into | |
| [18:07] | committing a crime. (SCOFFS) | |
| [18:09] | Is that what our government should be doing… | |
| [18:11] | tricking its citizens into breaking the law? | |
| [18:15] | I don’t think so. | |
| [18:17] | And I’m reasonably sure that once you have heard | |
| [18:20] | all of the evidence, | |
| [18:21] | you won’t think so either. | |
| [18:27] | What the hell’s the matter with you? | |
| [18:30] | It’s nice to see you, too. | |
| [18:33] | I warned you against entrapment. | |
| [18:35] | You just couldn’t resist, could you? | |
| [18:38] | Look, that FBI guy… | |
| [18:41] | he approached Darius five separate times. | |
| [18:43] | That’s textbook entrapment. | |
| [18:45] | How am I supposed to ignore that? | |
| [18:46] | You just do it! | |
| [18:49] | You listen to the people who know more than you, | |
| [18:51] | who are trying to help you. | |
| [18:54] | Hell, nobody’s talking about textbooks. | |
| [18:56] | This is a courtroom, not a classroom. | |
| [19:00] | (EXHALES) | |
| [19:03] | Don’t you see, Chunk… | |
| [19:06] | Y-You told the jury | |
| [19:08] | that your client did it. | |
| [19:11] | And that means that your whole defense | |
| [19:13] | is now gonna be based on why he did it. | |
| [19:17] | And that’s a tough fight. | |
| [19:18] | Even for a guy who knows what he’s doing. | |
| [19:20] | Well, thanks for the vote of confidence. | |
| [19:22] | Not that you care, but I’m more than able | |
| [19:25] | and willing to fight that fight. | |
| [19:29] | Oh. | |
| [19:30] | Well, that just makes it ten times harder for me. | |
| [19:34] | Because now I have to convince a jury | |
| [19:36] | that Willie knew nothing about it. | |
| [19:39] | And that would have been a hell of a lot easier | |
| [19:41] | if I could have argued that we weren’t sure | |
| [19:43] | that was even a crime. | |
| [19:45] | But you blew that to smithereens, hotshot. | |
| [19:47] | And now you’re gonna lose your case and I’m gonna lose mine. | |
| [19:50] | CHUNK: Speak for yourself, Counselor. – You know what your problem is? | |
| [19:54] | You are arrogant and ignorant, | |
| [19:56] | and that is a deadly combination, my friend. | |
| [19:58] | I’m not arrogant. I’m confident. | |
| [20:00] | Because I am in the right. | |
| [20:01] | And that’s always the best defense. | |
| [20:03] | That’s that I’m talking about. | |
| [20:06] | This isn’t Sunday school. | |
| [20:08] | Being in the right doesn’t mean squat. | |
| [20:10] | Getting a jury to see that you’re in the right… | |
| [20:12] | that’s the game we’re playing. | |
| [20:14] | And that you don’t understand that | |
| [20:15] | proves to me you’re not ready to play with the adults. | |
| [20:17] | Okay… | |
| [20:18] | (LOUD WHISTLE) | |
| [20:24] | Do I need to call both your parents? | |
| [20:28] | – (SIGHS) – Tomorrow’s witness list. | |
| [20:30] | AUSA is calling your favorite FBI agent, Raymond, | |
| [20:32] | to the stand. | |
| [20:34] | So, now that you’ve committed to this | |
| [20:36] | unfortunate choice of defense, I need you to go all-in. | |
| [20:38] | I need you to hammer this son of a bitch like a bent nail. | |
| [20:41] | Entrapment, entrapment, entrapment. | |
| [20:45] | Makes sense. | |
| [20:47] | And wouldn’t you know it, after a short break for lunch, | |
| [20:49] | our pal Raymond will also be appearing in your courtroom. | |
| [20:51] | And I need you to pound him, too. | |
| [20:54] | You ever met Willie? You ever talk to Willie? | |
| [20:56] | You ever even laid eyes on Willie? | |
| [20:58] | I need to convince that jury that no matter what happened | |
| [21:02] | in that shop after hours, | |
| [21:04] | Willie knew nothing about it. | |
| [21:07] | Got it. | |
| [21:09] | Now shake hands, share your toys | |
| [21:11] | and stop yelling. | |
| [21:14] | Or there’ll be no TV for a week. | |
| [21:16] | Or don’t. I don’t care. | |
| [21:23] | You approached my client on five separate occasions, didn’t you? | |
| [21:27] | You pounded him | |
| [21:28] | until he finally agreed to cooperate with you. | |
| [21:32] | Nobody pounded anybody. | |
| [21:34] | We chatted. | |
| [21:35] | No one forced him to do anything. | |
| [21:37] | I don’t know. | |
| [21:38] | You’re a pretty intimidating guy. | |
| [21:40] | Objection. Counsel is testifying, | |
| [21:42] | badgering the witness. | |
| [21:43] | Sustained. Ask a question, | |
| [21:46] | Mr. Palmer. | |
| [21:47] | You approached my client at the bus stop, didn’t you? | |
| [21:50] | I did. | |
| [21:51] | You approached my client at the bodega | |
| [21:52] | when he was buying food, didn’t you? | |
| [21:54] | None of that is against the law. | |
| [21:55] | Answer the question. Yes or no? | |
| [21:58] | Yes. | |
| [22:00] | You approached my client while waiting | |
| [22:01] | in line at the movies, didn’t you? | |
| [22:04] | A happy coincidence. | |
| [22:05] | I was going to the movies, too. | |
| [22:06] | You were relentless, weren’t you? | |
| [22:09] | I take my job seriously. | |
| [22:10] | (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) | |
| [22:12] | You a part of a team, | |
| [22:13] | Agent Hill? | |
| [22:14] | Yes. | |
| [22:16] | And your team profits from forfeiture proceedings. | |
| [22:19] | (CHUCKLES) Everyone profits | |
| [22:20] | when you take criminals off the street. | |
| [22:22] | Except my client wasn’t a criminal | |
| [22:23] | until you came into his life. | |
| [22:25] | Objection. Again, argumentative. | |
| [22:27] | Sustained. Watch it, | |
| [22:30] | – Mr. Palmer. – RAYMOND: Your client | |
| [22:31] | sold counterfeit goods. Your client | |
| [22:33] | stole a car. | |
| [22:34] | He didn’t need my help to become a criminal. | |
| [22:36] | The counterfeit goods that my client is accused of selling… | |
| [22:39] | you supplied him those goods, didn’t you? | |
| [22:42] | – Objection. – Overruled. | |
| [22:43] | Answer the question. | |
| [22:45] | Yes, I supplied the merchandise. | |
| [22:47] | – Brought in customers? – Some. | |
| [22:51] | That’s a pretty great system. | |
| [22:53] | You dream up a crime, | |
| [22:55] | bully someone into committing it, | |
| [22:58] | and then you bust them for it. | |
| [23:00] | All the while, you and the members | |
| [23:02] | of your team are commended for it. | |
| [23:04] | Isn’t that how it works? | |
| [23:07] | You got promotions and raises, | |
| [23:09] | didn’t you? | |
| [23:13] | The witness will answer the question. | |
| [23:18] | Yes. | |
| [23:19] | – (GALLERY MURMURING) – We got promotions and raises. | |
| [23:24] | No further questions. | |
| [23:26] | BENNY: Isn’t it true | |
| [23:27] | that you communicated exclusively | |
| [23:30] | with my client’s grandson, Darius Lambert? | |
| [23:33] | True. | |
| [23:34] | BENNY: In fact, | |
| [23:36] | you’ve never even spoken to Mr. Willie Lambert, have you? | |
| [23:43] | No, I have not. | |
| [23:45] | And when you did find occasion to go to the barbershop, | |
| [23:48] | it was always after closing time, wasn’t it? | |
| [23:51] | I believe so. | |
| [23:53] | In truth, | |
| [23:54] | you actually went out of your way | |
| [23:56] | to avoid my client, didn’t you? | |
| [23:59] | Where is this going? | |
| [24:00] | Get to it, Mr. Colón. | |
| [24:02] | You figured if Willie knew what was going on in his shop, | |
| [24:05] | he’d put a stop to it immediately, | |
| [24:08] | and that isn’t what you wanted. | |
| [24:10] | Objection. | |
| [24:11] | ‘Cause if he put a stop to it, | |
| [24:12] | you and your colleagues wouldn’t have anything | |
| [24:15] | to show for all of your hard work. | |
| [24:17] | I’m sorry, um… | |
| [24:20] | what was the question? | |
| [24:23] | Actually, I don’t think there is a question. | |
| [24:26] | I think it’s all perfectly clear. | |
| [24:28] | No more questions for this witness, Your Honor. | |
| [24:34] | BULL: Ah. | |
| [24:35] | There’s a familiar face. | |
| [24:37] | Dr. Bull. It’s been a while. | |
| [24:39] | What can I do for you? | |
| [24:41] | Well, Chunk Palmer, | |
| [24:45] | the opposing counsel… | |
| [24:46] | when he’s not going to school, he’s working for me. | |
| [24:50] | – Aha. – Mm. | |
| [24:52] | You want me to go easy on him? | |
| [24:53] | I was kind of hoping we could go easy on each other. | |
| [24:55] | How do you mean? | |
| [24:57] | I was hoping we could bring this case | |
| [25:00] | to a mutually beneficial resolution. | |
| [25:02] | I am never averse to a plea. | |
| [25:05] | What are you proposing? | |
| [25:06] | How do you feel about six months? | |
| [25:08] | If you can get him to plead guilty, | |
| [25:10] | I’ll recommend 36 months. | |
| [25:11] | Come on. He’s a kid. | |
| [25:14] | He doesn’t deserve that much time. | |
| [25:17] | Let’s make it a year. | |
| [25:20] | I may be able to sell that. | |
| [25:22] | And no admission of guilt. | |
| [25:23] | No. I can’t sentence him without a guilty plea. | |
| [25:25] | Sure you can. | |
| [25:26] | We could do an Alford plea. | |
| [25:29] | An Alford plea means Darius doesn’t | |
| [25:31] | actually admit he’s guilty. | |
| [25:32] | The only thing he admits is | |
| [25:34] | that the government has enough evidence | |
| [25:36] | to prove he did what he’s accused of. | |
| [25:38] | So he says he isn’t guilty… | |
| [25:40] | and gets sentenced anyway. (SCOFFS) | |
| [25:43] | What’s he get? | |
| [25:44] | In this case, it’s a year | |
| [25:46] | instead of the ten he was staring at. | |
| [25:49] | (SIGHS) Chunk, it’s a win-win. | |
| [25:52] | It’s a great deal for Darius, | |
| [25:54] | and there’s no admission of guilt to use against Willie. | |
| [25:56] | An Alford plea. It’s the same | |
| [25:59] | as if he plead no contest. | |
| [26:00] | I know what an Alford plea is. | |
| [26:02] | Great. Then tomorrow morning, I need you to go talk | |
| [26:04] | to your client, and tell him to take it. | |
| [26:07] | Look, I know I’m the reason you got involved with this case. | |
| [26:10] | And I appreciate everything that you’ve done. | |
| [26:13] | Then there’s nothing else to talk about. | |
| [26:14] | But an Alford plea… I’m not sure | |
| [26:16] | that’s how I want to play it. | |
| [26:17] | I don’t think you get what’s happening here. | |
| [26:20] | No, I get it. | |
| [26:21] | It’s good for you and good for your client. | |
| [26:24] | And your client, too. | |
| [26:25] | Unless I win, which is good for everybody. | |
| [26:28] | But you’re not gonna win. | |
| [26:29] | You already admitted he did it. | |
| [26:31] | You didn’t leave the jury any room to find for your client, | |
| [26:33] | which is exactly what we told you was gonna happen. | |
| [26:36] | Now take your ego out of the equation, | |
| [26:39] | go and talk to your client, | |
| [26:41] | tell him to take the deal. | |
| [26:47] | You just… you got to keep in mind | |
| [26:50] | that you’re looking at ten years in prison. | |
| [26:56] | You’re pretty sure they’re gonna find me guilty, huh? | |
| [26:59] | The thing is, I can’t guarantee they won’t. | |
| [27:02] | This is good for my grandpa? | |
| [27:04] | Yeah. | |
| [27:06] | You’ll absolutely be helping your grandpa. | |
| [27:11] | And just so you understand, you’ll be sentenced today. | |
| [27:15] | You’ll serve a year in prison, | |
| [27:16] | and you’ll be a convicted felon when you get out. | |
| [27:22] | And what would you do? | |
| [27:24] | I mean, if… | |
| [27:25] | if you were me? Would you do it? | |
| [27:28] | Would you serve a year in prison for selling some stuff | |
| [27:31] | that no one in their right mind would think | |
| [27:33] | is anything but what it is: | |
| [27:36] | pretend fancy? | |
| [27:46] | The defendant has indicated he would like | |
| [27:48] | to offer a change of plea. | |
| [27:50] | Is that true, Mr. Palmer? | |
| [27:58] | Darius… | |
| [28:00] | I need you to tell me that this is your choice. | |
| [28:04] | I got to think about my grandfather. | |
| [28:06] | Mr. Palmer? | |
| [28:11] | You know what? | |
| [28:13] | I’m starting to think that m-maybe we got that wrong. | |
| [28:17] | Maybe you just got to think about you. | |
| [28:19] | Look, don’t say that. | |
| [28:22] | – You’re confusing me. – Look, | |
| [28:24] | I think it’s great | |
| [28:26] | that you’re tying to protect someone else, | |
| [28:28] | but that man has lived his life. | |
| [28:31] | (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) He made his choices. | |
| [28:34] | And it seems to me that most of those | |
| [28:36] | have been about making sure that you had a better life | |
| [28:39] | than he had, I don’t think he’d want you to give up on that. | |
| [28:42] | And besides… | |
| [28:44] | he is surrounded by great people… | |
| [28:46] | terrific legal minds. | |
| [28:48] | He will have his day in court. | |
| [28:51] | But today is yours. | |
| [28:54] | So… | |
| [28:56] | do you want to take this deal | |
| [28:59] | or do we fight on? | |
| [29:00] | Mr. Palmer… | |
| [29:02] | what’s your pleasure? | |
| [29:07] | Mr. Palmer, do we swear in your client | |
| [29:09] | and commence with the allocution? | |
| [29:12] | I apologize, Your Honor, | |
| [29:15] | but after careful consideration, | |
| [29:17] | my client has decided he does not wish to change his plea. | |
| [29:21] | He wishes to continue with the trial. | |
| [29:44] | He in there? | |
| [29:45] | He sure is. | |
| [29:50] | You got a minute? | |
| [29:52] | Come on in. | |
| [30:01] | I know you’re angry. | |
| [30:03] | You don’t know anything. | |
| [30:05] | That’s the part I can’t seem to get you to understand. | |
| [30:08] | Uh, look, I-I didn’t take the plea be… | |
| [30:12] | he didn’t take the plea be… | |
| [30:14] | because damn it, a year in prison | |
| [30:17] | is a year too long for something that | |
| [30:19] | he never would have done had law enforcement | |
| [30:21] | not trapped him into it. | |
| [30:23] | And yeah, I understand the 3-D chess of it all, | |
| [30:26] | but we got to… | |
| [30:28] | I… I got to take things as they come. | |
| [30:31] | And Darius comes first. | |
| [30:34] | I know that was your thinking, | |
| [30:36] | I respect that that was your thinking, | |
| [30:39] | I just don’t agree with your thinking. | |
| [30:42] | And here we are. | |
| [30:43] | Here we are. | |
| [30:45] | And just so you know, | |
| [30:48] | I’ve subpoenaed Willie to testify. | |
| [30:50] | In Darius’s case. | |
| [30:52] | (CHUCKLES): Seriously? | |
| [30:54] | Willie is my client, and he is not gonna testify. | |
| [30:57] | He’s my first witness tomorrow morning. | |
| [30:59] | No, he’s not. I won’t allow it. | |
| [31:00] | That would not be in his best interest. | |
| [31:02] | It’s too late. He’s already agreed to it. | |
| [31:04] | You understand if he takes the stand for Darius, | |
| [31:06] | if he inadvertently admits to something | |
| [31:08] | that hurts his own case… | |
| [31:10] | I understand, | |
| [31:12] | he understands, and we all think | |
| [31:14] | it’s a risk worth taking. | |
| [31:18] | You talked to him without my permission. | |
| [31:21] | I did. | |
| [31:23] | Well, then, I hope you know what you’re doing. | |
| [31:24] | I’m just doing what you always taught me: | |
| [31:27] | believing in myself. | |
| [31:31] | I’ll see you in court. | |
| [31:36] | Mr. Lambert, how did you feel when your grandson | |
| [31:39] | stole your granddaughter’s brand-new car? | |
| [31:44] | Angry. Mad. | |
| [31:46] | Sad. | |
| [31:48] | Uh, disappointed. | |
| [31:49] | But I knew that wasn’t who he was. (CHUCKLES) | |
| [31:53] | The good Lord wasn’t through cooking him yet. | |
| [31:56] | (CLEARS THROAT) | |
| [31:57] | Boys do all kind of silly, stupid stuff | |
| [31:59] | when they’re-when they’re 16. | |
| [32:02] | I did a lot of s… | |
| [32:04] | stupid stuff when I was 16. | |
| [32:07] | So I held my tongue, | |
| [32:10] | bided my time. | |
| [32:11] | And were you right? | |
| [32:13] | How did he do with his probation? | |
| [32:15] | Four years. Never slipped up. Not once. | |
| [32:18] | And his probation officer was strict. | |
| [32:22] | He’d give him these random, uh, | |
| [32:24] | uh, drug and alcohol tests. | |
| [32:27] | Put him on curfew. | |
| [32:31] | That guy was serious. Very serious. | |
| [32:34] | And did he ever stop by? | |
| [32:36] | Come by the house or the shop? | |
| [32:38] | Give you an idea as to how Darius was doing? | |
| [32:41] | Objection. Hearsay. | |
| [32:42] | Objection sustained. | |
| [32:46] | Let’s try another way. | |
| [32:49] | You met Darius probation officer? | |
| [32:51] | Sure have. Came by the shop. | |
| [32:54] | Wanted to see where Darius was working. | |
| [32:58] | I told him, “Look around.” | |
| [33:00] | Showed him Darius’ chair, his barber’s license, | |
| [33:03] | the album with pictures of haircuts that he likes | |
| [33:06] | and wants to try. | |
| [33:07] | Showed him his equipment… his-his scissors, | |
| [33:11] | his combs and razors. | |
| [33:12] | Took him to the back room and showed him | |
| [33:14] | where Darius kept his shaving butter. | |
| [33:18] | Opened the closet, showed him the boxes. | |
| [33:20] | Even gave him a sample. | |
| [33:22] | Was he impressed? | |
| [33:23] | Your Honor. | |
| [33:26] | I withdraw the question. | |
| [33:30] | Do you regret hiring your grandson? | |
| [33:33] | He seems to have gotten himself | |
| [33:35] | into quite a bit of trouble here. | |
| [33:36] | I don’t regret it for a second. | |
| [33:39] | I honestly don’t feel that he did | |
| [33:40] | get himself into trouble. | |
| [33:43] | I feel like… | |
| [33:45] | he was led into trouble. | |
| [33:48] | Here’s something that, uh, | |
| [33:51] | maybe you don’t know. | |
| [33:54] | He did it for me. | |
| [33:57] | He knew I was | |
| [33:58] | barely hanging on. | |
| [34:01] | Utilities, taxes. | |
| [34:04] | Every few days, he’d come up and say, “Grandpa, | |
| [34:06] | I sold another case of my shaving butter.” | |
| [34:10] | Give me $100. $200! | |
| [34:14] | I said, “Damn, that shaving butter’s flying | |
| [34:17] | out that back room.” (CHUCKLES) | |
| [34:19] | I also thought | |
| [34:22] | that grandson of mine… | |
| [34:27] | God’s done cooking. | |
| [34:30] | And he’s done a damn good job. | |
| [34:34] | Hell of a job. | |
| [34:36] | CHUNK: Mr. Lambert, thank you. | |
| [34:39] | I have no further questions. | |
| [34:45] | Mr. Lambert… | |
| [34:48] | …if I told you to steal something… | |
| [34:51] | that woman’s purse… would you do it? | |
| [34:53] | Objection. Relevance. | |
| [34:56] | Overruled. | |
| [34:58] | The witness will answer the question. | |
| [35:01] | Of course not. | |
| [35:03] | How about if I asked you twice? | |
| [35:07] | – No. – Ten times? | |
| [35:09] | You could ask me a million times. | |
| [35:10] | I wouldn’t steal someone’s stuff. | |
| [35:12] | Good for you. | |
| [35:14] | And what do you call someone who does? | |
| [35:19] | Someone like your grandson. | |
| [35:20] | CHUNK: Your Honor, objection! | |
| [35:22] | She’s badgering the witness. | |
| [35:23] | Never mind. I withdraw the question. | |
| [35:27] | I have nothing further. | |
| [35:33] | BULL: Counselor. | |
| [35:41] | Tell me again how you’re just doing what I taught you. | |
| [35:44] | Willie did you proud. | |
| [35:45] | Nah. You were right. | |
| [35:49] | It’s not gonna be enough. | |
| [35:52] | I took an unnecessary risk. | |
| [35:54] | Yeah, but at the end of the day, | |
| [35:57] | I don’t think he did any damage to our case. | |
| [35:59] | And, who knows, he may have helped yours. | |
| [36:02] | The jury loved him. | |
| [36:04] | Don’t quote me, but I’m starting to think | |
| [36:06] | you may win this thing | |
| [36:08] | with the right closing argument. | |
| [36:11] | BENNY: Plus, you gave him an idea. | |
| [36:13] | He wants to subpoena Darius’ probation officer | |
| [36:15] | to testify. | |
| [36:17] | Really? | |
| [36:19] | How’s he gonna help? | |
| [36:20] | Well, he’s not talking about your case. | |
| [36:24] | He’s talking about our case. | |
| [36:26] | Watch and learn. | |
| [36:29] | Good morning, Mr. Chilton. Now, | |
| [36:31] | I understand that you are Darius Lambert… | |
| [36:35] | Willie Lambert’s grandson’s probation officer. | |
| [36:37] | Are you aware that he started a business | |
| [36:40] | making homemade shaving butter? | |
| [36:42] | Objection. What does this have to do with Mr. Willie Lambert? | |
| [36:45] | What’s the relevance, Mr. Colón? | |
| [36:47] | I’ll rephrase, Your Honor. | |
| [36:50] | Did my client ever have occasion | |
| [36:52] | to show you around his barber shop? | |
| [36:54] | Yes, he did. | |
| [36:56] | I stopped in to see where Darius worked, | |
| [36:58] | and he gave me a little tour of the place. | |
| [37:00] | Did he happen to lead you over to where his grandson | |
| [37:04] | kept his shaving butter? | |
| [37:05] | – He did. – And where was that? | |
| [37:07] | I believe it was in the back closet. | |
| [37:09] | – And he left you all alone back there? – Yes. | |
| [37:11] | Told you to open up any box you wanted? | |
| [37:13] | I didn’t open any boxes. | |
| [37:15] | But you could have. You wanted to. | |
| [37:18] | I mean, he invited you to. | |
| [37:20] | Yeah. | |
| [37:22] | As a matter of fact, he did. | |
| [37:25] | Now, take a look at this photo. | |
| [37:28] | It’s a police photo from the night of the seizure. | |
| [37:32] | Is that the closet you’re talking about? | |
| [37:34] | – Appears to be. – Huh. | |
| [37:36] | It’s where Darius kept his shaving butter. | |
| [37:39] | But did you know it’s also where | |
| [37:41] | Darius stashed his counterfeit merchandise, | |
| [37:44] | to be sold at the behest of Agent Hill? | |
| [37:46] | Again, this jury is not here | |
| [37:48] | to decide the Darius Lambert case. | |
| [37:51] | Mr. Colón, can you connect the dots for me? | |
| [37:54] | Of course, Your Honor. | |
| [37:57] | We are alleging that | |
| [37:59] | Mr. Lambert didn’t know | |
| [38:01] | that counterfeit merchandise was being sold from his shop. | |
| [38:05] | But I submit that this is definitive proof. | |
| [38:08] | Because if Mr. Lambert would have known | |
| [38:11] | that there was contraband back there, | |
| [38:13] | he never would have offered | |
| [38:15] | his grandson’s probation officer to have | |
| [38:18] | unfettered access in that area. | |
| [38:21] | Marissa, tell me what you see. | |
| [38:23] | Green. Nothing but green. | |
| [38:26] | Green as a gooseberry. | |
| [38:36] | (SIGHS) | |
| [38:38] | Chunk still at it? | |
| [38:40] | Still working on his closing argument? | |
| [38:42] | Yep. | |
| [38:46] | No sound? | |
| [38:47] | You don’t want to hear what he’s saying? | |
| [38:50] | I want to be surprised tomorrow in court. | |
| [38:52] | Hmm. | |
| [38:54] | I was so angry at him yesterday. | |
| [38:57] | The way he defied me. | |
| [38:59] | How dare he believe in himself more than he believes in me? | |
| [39:02] | – Kids today. – Hmm. | |
| [39:07] | CHUNK: My client did it. | |
| [39:10] | We’ve… | |
| [39:11] | never denied that. | |
| [39:14] | What we have tried to impress upon you | |
| [39:17] | is that this crime never had to happen. | |
| [39:21] | If Agent Hill had never pleaded | |
| [39:23] | with my client to sell his counterfeit goods, | |
| [39:26] | none of us would be sitting here. | |
| [39:29] | My client wasn’t looking for something to sell | |
| [39:32] | out of his grandfather’s shop. | |
| [39:33] | He just wanted to cut hair and sell his shaving butter. | |
| [39:38] | But here we are. | |
| [39:41] | And here you are. | |
| [39:43] | And if you think that selling cheap copies | |
| [39:46] | of expensive purses and wallets and sneakers | |
| [39:50] | is worth ten years behind bars… | |
| [39:53] | worth taking away somebody’s 20s… | |
| [39:56] | will make your neighborhood, | |
| [39:58] | your city, your world | |
| [40:00] | a safer place… | |
| [40:03] | then I encourage you to find him guilty. | |
| [40:08] | But if you’re like me, | |
| [40:10] | and you think that your block, | |
| [40:13] | your city, your world would be better served | |
| [40:15] | by having a young man | |
| [40:17] | who cares so deeply for his family… | |
| [40:21] | …for his grandfather, | |
| [40:24] | that he’s willing to put in | |
| [40:26] | the extra work, and try to add money | |
| [40:28] | to his family’s business, | |
| [40:32] | then I urge you to remember | |
| [40:34] | what I said a moment ago. | |
| [40:37] | This crime never had to happen. | |
| [40:41] | This prison sentence never has to happen. | |
| [40:44] | This miscarriage of justice, | |
| [40:46] | this destruction of a young man’s life | |
| [40:49] | never has to happen. | |
| [40:54] | And I would implore you… | |
| [40:57] | to find my client innocent. | |
| [41:02] | Thank you for your time. | |
