Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,620 Previously on The Practice. 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:05,180 There's a head in the bag. 3 00:00:05,380 --> 00:00:08,520 It's the woman I met at the bar last night. What are you doing with her head? 4 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:08,999 don't know. 5 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,060 Somebody put it in there. 6 00:00:10,380 --> 00:00:13,560 George Vogelman, you are under arrest for the murder of Susan Robin. 7 00:00:13,820 --> 00:00:15,620 Give me one reason I should speak to you. 8 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,700 The reason is I don't think George Vogelman killed your daughter. 9 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,880 Your buddy George has a little home video library, Eleanor. 10 00:00:22,610 --> 00:00:26,310 This isn't that perverted. If this gets admitted to evidence, George is going to 11 00:00:26,310 --> 00:00:28,230 look like a sicko. Let's mark up a motion to suppress. 12 00:00:28,490 --> 00:00:32,910 Some of the tapes involve sexual scenes which border on sadomasochism. This is a 13 00:00:32,910 --> 00:00:35,410 homicide case. It is not a sex crime. 14 00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:40,430 I want to see the specific tapes we are talking about before I make... You 15 00:00:40,430 --> 00:00:45,250 would. Eleanor, I will see the tapes in question. Then I'll make my ruling. 16 00:00:45,710 --> 00:00:47,370 Anderson Pearson, my stuffed shirt professor? 17 00:00:47,610 --> 00:00:48,589 He just shot somebody. 18 00:00:48,590 --> 00:00:52,910 Dead. Did you think he was about to kill you or your wife when you pulled the 19 00:00:52,910 --> 00:00:57,210 trigger? Well, no, not at that second, but... So you do have some memory of 20 00:00:57,210 --> 00:01:02,050 you were thinking. I didn't consciously pull it. It just went off. 21 00:01:02,290 --> 00:01:05,250 You're trying to squeeze in self -defense, Counsel. 22 00:01:05,530 --> 00:01:06,429 We're not. 23 00:01:06,430 --> 00:01:07,530 It's a nice try. 24 00:01:07,810 --> 00:01:09,790 You are shutting down our whole defense. 25 00:01:10,050 --> 00:01:11,770 I want our objection noted for the record. 26 00:01:12,310 --> 00:01:17,290 So noted. Step back. On the charge of murder in the second degree, we find the 27 00:01:17,290 --> 00:01:19,350 defendant Anderson Pearson guilty. 28 00:01:37,580 --> 00:01:41,960 Possibly spread a few more papers and some places I can see the floor. It's 29 00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:44,320 for a couple of days, Helen. It's not as if the floor is clean underneath. 30 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,120 Does the Pearson appeal? 31 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,380 Yep. You know, Lindsay, I don't mean to sound pessimistic. Then don't. 32 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,600 Okay, could you at least clean the floor a little? This is the first date 33 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:54,600 tonight. So? 34 00:01:55,060 --> 00:01:57,580 So, I'm not going to bring a guy into my bedroom on the first date. 35 00:01:57,820 --> 00:02:01,280 If we're going to go to town, it's going to happen right here on this rug. 36 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:03,960 Kidding. A joke. 37 00:02:04,460 --> 00:02:07,800 Come on, think back to when you had a sense of humor. When was the last time 38 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:08,538 even laughed? 39 00:02:08,539 --> 00:02:11,780 Probably college. I came home one night and there you were going to town with 40 00:02:11,780 --> 00:02:12,780 some guy on the rug. 41 00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:16,000 Kidding. I thought you swore off blind dates. 42 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,259 I did. 43 00:02:17,260 --> 00:02:19,520 But Lisa Nicole promised I wouldn't be disappointed. 44 00:02:26,420 --> 00:02:27,420 Helen? 45 00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:33,500 Absolutely. 46 00:02:35,850 --> 00:02:38,950 Hi Ready? Absolutely 47 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,360 The biggest problem is the police aren't even looking for anybody else. They 48 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,560 consider the case solved. 49 00:03:38,340 --> 00:03:41,040 And their theory as to why I would carry around her head? 50 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,200 You're sick. 51 00:03:46,180 --> 00:03:50,080 Not that they're offering, but would you be at all open to a plea? 52 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:51,840 What kind of plea? 53 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,120 Manslaughter. 54 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,400 I wouldn't be open to that. 55 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,760 Complete transcripts are expensive. 56 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,700 I asked for complete, Lucy. The hearing is scheduled for this afternoon. 57 00:04:17,220 --> 00:04:20,380 Well, I can't listen without ears, which I won't have if you bite my head off. 58 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,240 What's going on? I asked for all the trial transcripts. She only got pre 59 00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:26,940 It's pre -trial. Rulings were appealing. I asked for them all. 60 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,200 Chomp, chomp, munch, munch. Lucy. 61 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,140 Bobby, do you know what Jimmy's case is about? His cousin, wrongful termination. 62 00:04:33,140 --> 00:04:34,300 Yes, but do you know the details? 63 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,180 No. He fired this worker. What's the problem, Rebecca? 64 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,980 The problem? It's a two -day trial, tops. 65 00:04:40,260 --> 00:04:42,960 His cousin fired this woman for being Iranian. 66 00:04:43,220 --> 00:04:44,220 He's being sued. 67 00:04:44,260 --> 00:04:46,120 I've got to defend him. He's my cousin. 68 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:47,520 What's your defense? 69 00:04:47,820 --> 00:04:48,819 My defense? 70 00:04:48,820 --> 00:04:52,000 Yes. On the charge of wrongful termination, what's your defense going 71 00:04:53,060 --> 00:04:54,060 She's Iranian. 72 00:04:56,620 --> 00:04:57,700 It's a jury trial. 73 00:05:06,730 --> 00:05:09,670 If those tapes come into evidence, the jury's going to be prejudiced, and 74 00:05:09,670 --> 00:05:13,810 exactly why he wants to use them. Sexual disorders certainly may be relevant. He 75 00:05:13,810 --> 00:05:17,310 has an adult video collection. That doesn't suggest a sexual disorder, and 76 00:05:17,310 --> 00:05:20,190 that's exactly the kind of leap he wants a jury to make. Your client allegedly 77 00:05:20,190 --> 00:05:24,370 cut off a woman's head, Mr. Young. Are you afraid the jury will think less of 78 00:05:24,370 --> 00:05:25,650 him because of his film library? 79 00:05:27,310 --> 00:05:29,570 The issue is whether he cut off that head. 80 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,600 That film library is not relevant to that issue. It's only being introduced 81 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,020 suggest some depravity. And it's that pattern of depravity that goes to the 82 00:05:39,020 --> 00:05:42,520 issue of whether or not this man has the capacity to behead somebody. 83 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:45,820 The tapes are inadmissible. 84 00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:47,500 What else? 85 00:05:48,100 --> 00:05:49,960 Your Honor. They're not coming in, Counsel. 86 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,620 They won't let you out for the hearing. 87 00:05:57,140 --> 00:05:58,140 I heard. 88 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:03,400 This is the supplemental memorandum I'm filing. Basically, we're going to argue 89 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,900 Judge Hiller was wrong not to let us argue self -defense. 90 00:06:08,580 --> 00:06:09,580 Okay, look. 91 00:06:11,420 --> 00:06:14,320 I had some of the lawyers at my firm read the brief. 92 00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:16,820 They thought it was well written. 93 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,800 But ultimately unpersuasive. 94 00:06:22,420 --> 00:06:23,960 Tell your lawyers to go to the hearing. 95 00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:25,760 There's a reason we have oral arguments. 96 00:06:26,380 --> 00:06:28,880 I didn't mean to be critical. 97 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:36,160 I meant thank you for fighting so hard with 98 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,160 so little to fight with. 99 00:06:38,260 --> 00:06:39,780 There's no reason we have to give up. 100 00:06:45,660 --> 00:06:50,400 I had been promoted twice within the last year, and I was going to be 101 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,580 to manager this January. 102 00:06:51,940 --> 00:06:53,720 So things were going well at work? 103 00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:55,100 Very well. 104 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:56,680 And what happened? 105 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:02,320 Well, last March I was getting ready to leave on vacation, and almost in passing 106 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,540 a co -worker asked me where I was going. 107 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,300 I told him I was going home to see my parents, and he asked me where home was. 108 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:10,600 Where is home? 109 00:07:10,740 --> 00:07:12,640 Iran. I was born there. 110 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,400 And then what? 111 00:07:14,860 --> 00:07:18,780 Suddenly I seemed to be facing kind of a cold front in the office. 112 00:07:20,100 --> 00:07:24,160 About a month later, Mr. Martini came to me and said things weren't working out, 113 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,960 and he let me go. 114 00:07:27,210 --> 00:07:30,310 Your relationship with your co -workers, you felt kind of a cold front. 115 00:07:30,890 --> 00:07:34,270 Yes. In fact, you went to my client and complained about this, right? 116 00:07:34,770 --> 00:07:38,590 Yes. People were being insubordinate. Isn't that the word you used? 117 00:07:39,110 --> 00:07:40,110 I believe so. 118 00:07:40,370 --> 00:07:42,430 Affecting your ability to be a productive manager. 119 00:07:43,130 --> 00:07:44,130 Yes. 120 00:07:44,570 --> 00:07:46,410 Why did you come to America, Miss Beto? 121 00:07:46,830 --> 00:07:49,710 I first came as an exchange student in high school. 122 00:07:50,230 --> 00:07:51,810 Then I stayed on for college. 123 00:07:52,350 --> 00:07:53,410 Now I live here. 124 00:07:53,670 --> 00:07:54,670 As an American citizen? 125 00:07:55,090 --> 00:07:56,670 No, on a visa. 126 00:07:57,070 --> 00:07:58,650 Do you plan to become an American citizen? 127 00:07:59,090 --> 00:08:00,090 Not really. 128 00:08:00,390 --> 00:08:01,390 You like Iran? 129 00:08:02,310 --> 00:08:05,930 Yes.

Rebecca. It's obscene. 168 00:10:19,690 --> 00:10:22,590 You want the anti -defamation league picketing our office? It's a trial. 169 00:10:22,710 --> 00:10:23,710 Qualified immunity. 170 00:10:23,770 --> 00:10:27,350 Well, that can't excuse it. The office is getting way too hostile for me. 171 00:10:27,590 --> 00:10:29,950 Why don't you just go and... Come on, Bobby. We're late. 172 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,440 She was the manager, and her leadership ability was suffering. 173 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,180 Because she was Iranian. 174 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,220 I certainly don't agree with the bigotry, but I have a dry cleaners to 175 00:10:51,300 --> 00:10:55,060 well, it wasn't running so well. 176 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,780 What about calling a meeting, telling your employees that the bigotry won't be 177 00:10:59,780 --> 00:11:03,920 accepted? It wasn't so much what people were doing, so much as what they were 178 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,860 feeling. And I was powerless to control that. 179 00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:15,660 And the feeling was anti -Iranian? Anti -Iranian, anti -Arab, basically Middle 180 00:11:15,660 --> 00:11:18,380 East. And you agree that this feeling was a form of prejudice? 181 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:19,639 Of course. 182 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,940 But you tolerated it? 183 00:11:21,220 --> 00:11:25,680 Well... You fired her, Mr. Martini. We could say you ratified the bigotry. 184 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:26,799 Well, you could. 185 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,380 But I had 18 workers come up and threaten to quit. 186 00:11:29,660 --> 00:11:34,400 My choice basically was either discharging your client or facing 187 00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:36,100 I see. 188 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:42,210 And if... Ms. Bader were black, and your workers threatened to quit because they 189 00:11:42,210 --> 00:11:44,070 didn't want to work with an African -American? 190 00:11:44,530 --> 00:11:45,750 Would you have fired her? 191 00:11:46,050 --> 00:11:47,050 Probably not. 192 00:11:47,290 --> 00:11:48,290 What's the difference? 193 00:11:48,650 --> 00:11:54,470 Possibly none, but complaining about the color of a person's skin is... That's 194 00:11:54,470 --> 00:11:58,070 racism, which lies in hatred and ignorance. 195 00:11:58,450 --> 00:12:04,390 Here, I feel there was some patriotism involved, and I guess it wasn't quite as 196 00:12:04,390 --> 00:12:05,390 repulsive to me. 197 00:12:07,310 --> 00:12:11,330 He willfully withheld evidence. I did no such thing. You have a duty to turn 198 00:12:11,330 --> 00:12:15,210 over all evidence. I don't listen when two people talk. 199 00:12:15,570 --> 00:12:18,870 They have an absolute duty to turn over all exculpatory evidence. 200 00:12:19,130 --> 00:12:20,130 Material evidence. 201 00:12:20,330 --> 00:12:21,850 Let him finish, please. 202 00:12:22,470 --> 00:12:26,590 The boyfriend of the victim provided the prosecution with a reason that the 203 00:12:26,590 --> 00:12:30,510 victim may have gone to a bar and may have been predisposed to a one -night 204 00:12:30,510 --> 00:12:32,990 stand. He did not turn that information over to us. 205 00:12:33,710 --> 00:12:34,710 Why not? 206 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,280 We didn't consider it either material or relevant. 207 00:12:37,780 --> 00:12:38,780 What's the information? 208 00:12:39,100 --> 00:12:41,300 She had caught him that very day with another woman. 209 00:12:44,780 --> 00:12:48,900 Mr. Tisbury, the break you catch here is that this came out before trial. 210 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,220 Your Honor, that statement... As of this second, I don't trust you. 211 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,180 You're going into trial with a judge who doesn't trust you. 212 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,300 So if you're going to make any more mistakes from this point on I suggest 213 00:13:02,300 --> 00:13:03,780 err to their side. 214 00:13:04,100 --> 00:13:06,940 There was no willful attempt to withhold evidence. 215 00:13:07,380 --> 00:13:09,620 Then how unfortunate that I don't believe you. 216 00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:16,660 My position is that Judge Hiller erred when she denied our right to assert self 217 00:13:16,660 --> 00:13:20,440 -defense. I see no such denial in the record. If you read the transcript, she 218 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,220 threatened us with a bad jury instruction if we went the route of self 219 00:13:23,340 --> 00:13:24,340 It wasn't a ruling. 220 00:13:24,420 --> 00:13:27,560 It was tantamount to a ruling. It had the effect of shutting us down. Are you 221 00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:31,060 now suggesting that it was self -defense? Because that gives me a 222 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:32,640 counsel. Which is? 223 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:37,260 At trial, you argued that the gun went off involuntarily. Your client testified 224 00:13:37,260 --> 00:13:39,780 to that. And now you're saying self -defense. 225 00:13:40,460 --> 00:13:42,580 Did your client commit perjury on the stand? 226 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,880 First of all, this hearing is about Judge Hiller's ruling, not my client's 227 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,320 testimony. So we should ignore the truth? Secondly, defendants can assert 228 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,320 alternative defenses. 229 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,540 We could have argued A, he shot him in self -defense, and B, it went off 230 00:13:55,540 --> 00:13:57,120 involuntarily. That's permissible. 231 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,880 What this hearing is about is Judge Hiller denying us one of those defenses. 232 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,040 So basically you're saying had Judge Hiller not cut you off, self -defense 233 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:06,819 have been your theory. 234 00:14:06,820 --> 00:14:08,920 Exactly. Are we all up to speed now? 235 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,320 Do you really mean to be snide with us, Ms. Stoll? 236 00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:17,120 Actually, yes. 237 00:14:17,460 --> 00:14:20,160 You wouldn't be asking these questions if you'd read my brief. 238 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,140 I'm discouraged to realize you haven't. I hope you at least reprimand your 239 00:14:24,140 --> 00:14:26,860 clerks. Let's just address your issue, then. 240 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,440 She cut off self -defense because the victim wasn't posing an imminent threat. 241 00:14:33,260 --> 00:14:34,260 That was wrong. 242 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,060 The threat to my client was both real and ongoing. 243 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,820 Mr. Pearson was in fear of his life at the time he pulled the trigger. The 244 00:14:40,820 --> 00:14:41,980 victim had no gun. 245 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,580 My clerk did highlight that part. 246 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,440 In defining imminent, if you look at the cases, the courts basically come down 247 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:50,440 to these questions. 248 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:51,980 Was there any alternative? 249 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:53,900 Could he have used less force? 250 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,280 Could he have escaped? 251 00:14:55,770 --> 00:14:58,950 Could he have retreated? Could he have just held him at gunpoint until the 252 00:14:58,950 --> 00:14:59,769 police arrived? 253 00:14:59,770 --> 00:15:03,010 In this situation, the answer seems to be yes to all of those options. But the 254 00:15:03,010 --> 00:15:05,870 reality for all those options is that man would be back. 255 00:15:06,150 --> 00:15:09,910 Perhaps, but as Judge Hiller noted, we weren't at that point when... And to 256 00:15:09,910 --> 00:15:12,750 require him to wait till that point is unreasonable. 257 00:15:13,230 --> 00:15:14,870 Are you asking us to rewrite the law? 258 00:15:15,110 --> 00:15:18,150 No. Some states have recognized a kidnap exception. 259 00:15:18,869 --> 00:15:21,810 Basically, if a man kidnaps somebody and tells the victim he's going to kill 260 00:15:21,810 --> 00:15:24,590 them in a month, that victim doesn't have to wait a whole month until he's 261 00:15:24,590 --> 00:15:25,770 allowed to use deadly force. 262 00:15:26,010 --> 00:15:28,810 True. But Mr. Pearson wasn't kidnapped. 263 00:15:29,130 --> 00:15:30,210 In effect, he was. 264 00:15:30,610 --> 00:15:34,230 He was basically held captive. He'd gone to the police. They couldn't help. He 265 00:15:34,230 --> 00:15:37,390 got a restraining order from the court. It didn't help. 266 00:15:37,730 --> 00:15:38,910 The time was coming. 267 00:15:39,370 --> 00:15:42,970 And we're saying Anderson Pearson should have waited until the exact moment? 268 00:15:43,710 --> 00:15:45,950 Suppose Raymond Breyer came at night while they were sleeping. 269 00:15:46,270 --> 00:15:49,890 There is no evidence of any direct threat to kill Mr. Pearson. It was 270 00:15:49,890 --> 00:15:50,890 implied. 271 00:15:51,270 --> 00:15:54,970 I could argue it was direct with the cat -mouse exchange, and whether it was 272 00:15:54,970 --> 00:15:59,250 direct or not, Anderson Pearson had a reasonable belief that it was. 273 00:15:59,590 --> 00:16:03,090 Well, it still seems like a reach to apply the kidnap... But we're entitled 274 00:16:03,090 --> 00:16:04,090 that reach. 275 00:16:04,270 --> 00:16:05,330 Before a jury. 276 00:16:06,270 --> 00:16:07,630 Judge Hiller shut it down. 277 00:16:08,390 --> 00:16:09,390 It's error. 278 00:16:20,490 --> 00:16:22,390 Time magazine or Newsweek? 279 00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:24,810 They went easier on Ricky Jewell. 280 00:16:26,290 --> 00:16:27,290 Listen to this. 281 00:16:27,470 --> 00:16:31,590 Hapless podiatrist whose social life consisted of pornography videos and 282 00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:32,970 he met through the personals. 283 00:16:34,750 --> 00:16:35,910 I was one of them. 284 00:16:36,330 --> 00:16:37,910 Except you kept your head about it. 285 00:16:41,870 --> 00:16:43,530 I've spoken to every one of his friends. 286 00:16:44,770 --> 00:16:45,770 And? 287 00:16:46,190 --> 00:16:48,490 They all used three words to describe him. 288 00:16:49,270 --> 00:16:50,270 Gentle. 289 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:51,640 Kind. 290 00:16:52,140 --> 00:16:53,140 Loner. 291 00:16:54,980 --> 00:16:55,980 He's in trouble. 292 00:16:56,340 --> 00:16:59,320 The girl's father and brother have agreed to see me tomorrow. 293 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,240 If they can't point us someplace... Yeah. 294 00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:07,700 He's in trouble. 295 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:10,720 Did they rule? 296 00:17:10,780 --> 00:17:12,680 Tomorrow. It went well. It seemed to have their attention. 297 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,319 Great. Let's get some dinner. No, I'm going to go back to the office, get on 298 00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:17,900 Westlaw.

Is it ever going to be over? 300 00:17:21,420 --> 00:17:22,420 I'll see you at home. 301 00:17:26,180 --> 00:17:27,180 Hey. 302 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,600 She's been up till three o 'clock in the morning every night since the trial. 303 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:32,680 It's like some quest. 304 00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:34,400 Ellen, she's close to him. 305 00:17:34,940 --> 00:17:36,160 You know she might win. 306 00:17:36,380 --> 00:17:37,380 Oh, come on. 307 00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:38,500 Overturn Heather. 308 00:17:39,300 --> 00:17:40,380 You should have seen her. 309 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,620 You went to Mr. Martini and complained. 310 00:17:45,180 --> 00:17:46,180 I did. 311 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,200 Threatened to quit even if she worked there. 312 00:17:48,410 --> 00:17:52,070 Yes. Because you didn't want to work side by side with a person of Iranian 313 00:17:52,070 --> 00:17:53,070 descent. 314 00:17:53,530 --> 00:17:57,230 I don't have a problem with her as a person, but... But what? 315 00:17:59,850 --> 00:18:02,570 I'm not over the hostage thing. I admit it. 316 00:18:02,850 --> 00:18:05,850 Mr. Hopper, that was almost 20 years ago. I really don't care. 317 00:18:06,110 --> 00:18:07,230 It all comes back. 318 00:18:07,530 --> 00:18:09,090 I see burning American flags. 319 00:18:09,410 --> 00:18:12,170 I see Khomeini. I get all pent up with anger. 320 00:18:12,410 --> 00:18:16,360 But this woman wasn't in government. How... The Iranian people... cheered 321 00:18:16,360 --> 00:18:17,780 government and they never apologized. 322 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,700 In our government, we just forgave them because they got oil. 323 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:23,900 Well, I can't forgive them. 324 00:18:24,660 --> 00:18:27,760 This woman was nine years old during the hostage crisis. 325 00:18:28,220 --> 00:18:30,400 Well, she's old enough now to make a judgment. 326 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,120 And when she looks me in the eye and says, I'm proud to be an Iranian, I 327 00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:36,640 want to work side by side with her. 328 00:18:36,940 --> 00:18:40,480 Did she ever engage in any political or religious discourse at work? 329 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,680 No. And I'm sure she personally has never blown up an embassy. 330 00:18:45,709 --> 00:18:50,530 But imagine, they're carrying signs that say death to the U .S., and here she is 331 00:18:50,530 --> 00:18:52,250 in our country suing for a job. 332 00:18:52,650 --> 00:18:55,070 Ask me, the turban must have been wrapped too tight. 333 00:18:57,410 --> 00:18:58,410 Go ahead. 334 00:18:58,950 --> 00:19:02,510 That last remark was unnecessary. You asked me to testify and tell my 335 00:19:02,630 --> 00:19:05,710 Just the same. You basically stood up and declared yourself a bigot. I am 336 00:19:05,710 --> 00:19:08,650 prejudiced on this, but I think this is the bigotry I'm entitled to. 337 00:19:11,030 --> 00:19:12,950 You're not the person I thought I knew, Rob. 338 00:19:13,870 --> 00:19:17,050 Sally, I know I'm blaming you for something that has nothing to do with 339 00:19:17,290 --> 00:19:19,090 That doesn't mean I'm above it. All right. 340 00:19:19,550 --> 00:19:21,330 You're represented by counsel, Miss Beta. 341 00:19:21,570 --> 00:19:23,410 It's not appropriate for us to have communication. 342 00:19:23,910 --> 00:19:26,590 Yes. We wouldn't want to be inappropriate, would we? 343 00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:30,910 Excuse me one second. 344 00:19:32,670 --> 00:19:34,710 Miss Beta, listen. 345 00:19:36,190 --> 00:19:40,470 I hope you don't take it personal, the things I say. I have to put on a 346 00:19:41,290 --> 00:19:44,110 You're saying I should be ashamed of my dissent, Mr. Berluti. 347 00:19:44,450 --> 00:19:46,330 It's difficult not to take it personally. 348 00:19:49,070 --> 00:19:52,730 I'm the lawyer. I gotta... You're a little too good. 349 00:19:58,830 --> 00:20:01,870 Can I at least make you a cup of coffee? 350 00:20:02,170 --> 00:20:03,470 No, no, really, I'm fine. 351 00:20:04,210 --> 00:20:06,730 Really? I feel like I should at least...

What that woman said to me, I'm having a hard time shaking it. 373 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,080 about to start closing arguments. 374 00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:21,400 I know. I'm just not sure it's in me. 375 00:21:21,820 --> 00:21:26,160 I don't want to let my cousin down, but... Jimmy, if you came to me with 376 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,380 case at the beginning, I would have stopped you from taking it. It's 377 00:21:29,820 --> 00:21:32,160 It puts a bad light on you and the firm. 378 00:21:32,380 --> 00:21:34,880 But there's no way you can bail at closings. 379 00:21:35,530 --> 00:21:36,870 I mean, it's not even a question. 380 00:21:39,150 --> 00:21:40,150 Yeah. 381 00:21:40,670 --> 00:21:41,670 I guess. 382 00:21:46,510 --> 00:21:50,550 And, Jimmy, don't phone it in. 383 00:21:54,530 --> 00:21:56,770 The police discouraged us from talking to you. 384 00:21:57,190 --> 00:21:59,750 As I told your dad, I'm convinced they got the wrong guy. 385 00:22:00,170 --> 00:22:01,290 And if they do... 386 00:22:01,850 --> 00:22:04,930 That means that this thing was either a mission to frame George Vogelman or 387 00:22:04,930 --> 00:22:08,830 somebody was after your sister. And as we told the police, we don't know of any 388 00:22:08,830 --> 00:22:10,390 such person who would want to harm her. 389 00:22:10,650 --> 00:22:11,650 Her boyfriend, Jay? 390 00:22:11,790 --> 00:22:15,070 Did you ever see any predisposition with him and your sister? 391 00:22:15,310 --> 00:22:17,130 Jay? I'm grasping, Steve. 392 00:22:17,990 --> 00:22:19,110 Jay's a sweet kid. 393 00:22:19,890 --> 00:22:21,070 Did he ever show a temper? 394 00:22:21,530 --> 00:22:24,450 What if he had followed your sister, found her with George Vogelman? Jay 395 00:22:24,450 --> 00:22:25,450 couldn't have done this. 396 00:22:27,230 --> 00:22:28,250 Did your sister... 397 00:22:30,360 --> 00:22:34,460 Is it possible that your sister could have kept some part of her life secret? 398 00:22:34,780 --> 00:22:38,100 Mr. Young, I feel I know my daughter pretty good. 399 00:22:39,380 --> 00:22:44,460 Truth is, I can't believe in a million years that she'd go to some motel with a 400 00:22:44,460 --> 00:22:45,460 guy she met in a bar. 401 00:22:46,180 --> 00:22:50,680 Which leads me to think that your guy had to have done it. But, Mr. Robin, you 402 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,540 couldn't believe she would even go to a bar alone. 403 00:22:53,540 --> 00:22:56,980 So it's possible that Steve helped me out. 404 00:22:57,900 --> 00:22:59,300 Is there some other side to her? 405 00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:02,060 If there was, I never saw it. 406 00:23:04,020 --> 00:23:07,300 The only... What? 407 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,000 The only what? 408 00:23:10,860 --> 00:23:15,840 She did spend a lot of time on the Internet talking about people she didn't 409 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,140 know. Would you say that in court? 410 00:23:19,060 --> 00:23:20,060 I don't know. 411 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:23,880 I guess. 412 00:23:44,170 --> 00:23:49,630 After careful review, we agree with Ms. Dole's position that self -defense 413 00:23:49,630 --> 00:23:52,290 should have been available to the defendant at trial. 414 00:23:53,230 --> 00:23:57,950 Whether the danger posed to Mr. Pearson was eminent enough to justify the use of 415 00:23:57,950 --> 00:24:02,210 excessive force, it's a question of fact, which should have been offered to 416 00:24:02,210 --> 00:24:03,210 jury. 417 00:24:03,230 --> 00:24:07,610 We therefore rule that Judge Hiller's position was in error. 418 00:24:08,750 --> 00:24:12,230 However, it is not evident on the record... 419 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,000 that Judge Hiller actually ruled in this matter, thereby prohibiting self 420 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:22,700 -defense. And if defense counsel's assertion is true, that her warning was 421 00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:28,820 effect ruling, then the proper procedure was interlocutory appeal, which was 422 00:24:28,820 --> 00:24:30,200 waived by proceeding the trial. 423 00:24:30,660 --> 00:24:34,520 The conviction of Anderson Pearson, therefore, stands. 424 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:36,420 We're adjourned. 425 00:24:55,790 --> 00:24:57,890 It's easy to hate Iranians, isn't it? 426 00:24:58,730 --> 00:24:59,730 And Arabs. 427 00:25:00,650 --> 00:25:03,270 They blow up airplanes, buildings. 428 00:25:04,130 --> 00:25:07,770 When that bomb went off in Oklahoma City, we all had the same knee -jerk 429 00:25:07,770 --> 00:25:08,770 reaction. 430 00:25:08,870 --> 00:25:10,530 Probably some Middle East terrorist. 431 00:25:12,770 --> 00:25:15,930 Let's admit it. We don't like these people. 432 00:25:16,530 --> 00:25:18,090 And I understand the sentiment. 433 00:25:18,710 --> 00:25:22,810 Many of us share Mr. Harper's frustration with the hostage crisis. 434 00:25:22,810 --> 00:25:23,810 but deep wound. 435 00:25:24,750 --> 00:25:29,710 But I take exception to his message that it's good old American patriotism to 436 00:25:29,710 --> 00:25:32,030 discriminate against anyone from the Middle East. 437 00:25:33,730 --> 00:25:35,190 That's not the country I know. 438 00:25:36,950 --> 00:25:38,590 America stands for tolerance. 439 00:25:39,110 --> 00:25:42,630 The United States rebelled against oppression, against prejudice. 440 00:25:44,890 --> 00:25:45,890 Or do we? 441 00:25:46,890 --> 00:25:51,370 Mr. Harper's statement, hey, she makes me angry because of Khomeini, that's 442 00:25:51,370 --> 00:25:55,760 saying... Hey, the Japanese threw up these Pearl Harbor memories. Let's get 443 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:56,760 of them. 444 00:25:57,420 --> 00:25:59,140 We did that here once, remember? 445 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,940 Rounded up all the Japanese, threw them in internment camps. 446 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,360 Didn't matter they were U .S. citizens. Didn't matter they were innocent. They 447 00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:07,620 were of Japanese descent. 448 00:26:09,660 --> 00:26:13,900 And this country, we're ashamed of that little piece of history. 449 00:26:14,940 --> 00:26:16,020 Well, here we go again. 450 00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:18,680 Because today's Cold War. 451 00:26:20,170 --> 00:26:21,310 It's against terrorism. 452 00:26:23,830 --> 00:26:27,430 And it's just so easy to hate the towel heads, isn't it? 453 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,200 She may have hooked up with some psycho from the Internet. Maybe he was stalking 454 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,880 her. Even so. What even so? Can't your guy start running that down? Eleanor, 455 00:26:40,940 --> 00:26:42,080 again, off the record? 456 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:47,200 Sure. This case is pretty hot copy. The police want to mark solved on the file. 457 00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:49,380 The DA's office wants to mark conviction. 458 00:26:49,660 --> 00:26:53,780 If anything turns up indicating it could have been somebody else, forget about 459 00:26:53,780 --> 00:26:54,780 getting a conviction. 460 00:26:55,120 --> 00:27:00,120 Your guy was last seen with her. He had her head. If George Volgeman didn't do 461 00:27:00,120 --> 00:27:02,920 it, he certainly represents reasonable doubt for whoever did. 462 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:04,399 What do you think? 463 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,520 They'd rather get a conviction than catch the right guy? 464 00:27:06,900 --> 00:27:10,760 Not really, but their need for a conviction helps them to think they have 465 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:11,459 right guy. 466 00:27:11,460 --> 00:27:12,460 Oh, that's great. 467 00:27:13,820 --> 00:27:14,980 What's the punchline, Helen? 468 00:27:15,220 --> 00:27:16,940 They're not going to reopen the investigation. 469 00:27:21,140 --> 00:27:26,000 When this trial started, I got to admit, I was one of those people who sometimes 470 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,120 had those thoughts. 471 00:27:27,580 --> 00:27:31,040 See some terrorist attack on the news, I'd say to hell with all of them. 472 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,610 A lot of people in this country... I think the best thing about Iranians is 473 00:27:35,610 --> 00:27:36,610 they kill Iraqis. 474 00:27:37,390 --> 00:27:42,230 But in Miss Bader, you saw a woman of dignity, integrity. 475 00:27:43,510 --> 00:27:49,130 And not that this is relevant, but having somebody like her as the mother 476 00:27:49,130 --> 00:27:51,230 children, I should be so lucky. 477 00:27:52,450 --> 00:27:54,950 But this isn't about her. 478 00:27:55,270 --> 00:27:57,870 It's about the actions of Peter Martini. 479 00:27:58,430 --> 00:28:00,490 Was his firing of her reasonable? 480 00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:03,080 Under normal times, no. 481 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,600 But with what's going on today, yes. 482 00:28:07,660 --> 00:28:12,500 True, he could have said prejudice is prejudice and not fired her, in which 483 00:28:12,500 --> 00:28:14,620 his staff might acquit and he'd be out of business. 484 00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:21,400 And as for the prejudice itself, sorry, but it's not the same as bigotry against 485 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,120 blacks. This is different. 486 00:28:25,180 --> 00:28:27,000 There's a war going on here. 487 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,880 Like Ms. Warden said, and the president said. 488 00:28:31,070 --> 00:28:33,270 Terrorism is today's war. 489 00:28:34,370 --> 00:28:38,190 Somebody who didn't look like a killer put a bomb in the World Trade Center. 490 00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,710 We can expect more such attacks since we bombed Sudan. 491 00:28:42,570 --> 00:28:47,190 And I don't mean to suggest for one second that Ms. Bader is connected in 492 00:28:47,190 --> 00:28:48,590 way to anything bad. 493 00:28:49,210 --> 00:28:51,530 But it is people's right to be afraid. 494 00:28:52,290 --> 00:28:55,050 Our government is telling us to be afraid. 495 00:28:56,150 --> 00:28:59,790 This war, the battlefields are our subways. 496 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:05,640 Buildings, airports, who knows where. And as the president said, the 497 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:12,220 too, in our fight against fanaticism, innocent people will unfortunately 498 00:29:12,220 --> 00:29:13,260 be victims. 499 00:29:14,340 --> 00:29:17,540 I think the question you have to ask yourselves is this. 500 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:24,220 If an Iranian or Arab came to you looking for work, would you hire them, 501 00:29:24,220 --> 00:29:25,400 it would upset personnel? 502 00:29:26,220 --> 00:29:31,360 If you can answer that question with an easy yes, Fine for the plaintiff. 503 00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:38,740 But if your answer is probably not, all I ask is that you go back there and 504 00:29:38,740 --> 00:29:40,380 be honest with yourselves. 505 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:17,360 Go home. 506 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,640 I would, but it cranks Helen's love life. 507 00:30:22,580 --> 00:30:23,580 Lindsay. 508 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:26,800 Go home. 509 00:30:27,820 --> 00:30:28,820 And do what? 510 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,840 Put my feet up, watch a movie while he sits in jail?

He's facing prison 517 00:30:59,910 --> 00:31:03,930 because he shot and killed a man. No, Bobby, it's because we blew it, 518 00:31:03,930 --> 00:31:05,710 you. You screwed up the most. 519 00:31:06,010 --> 00:31:09,310 Me? Yes, you. That ridiculous, involuntary argument. 520 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,540 It was stupid, and you know why we went with it? Because it was a brainstorm. 521 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,660 You got all high off the idea like you always do over stunts. If it's novel, 522 00:31:16,660 --> 00:31:19,520 want to try it. And because we did, a good man has lost his life. 523 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:22,320 Is that what you think? 524 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:23,560 Yes. 525 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,940 And we screwed up by not appealing Judge Hiller's ruling. That's what cost us 526 00:31:27,940 --> 00:31:28,559 that appeal. 527 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:29,920 It was malpractice. 528 00:31:30,340 --> 00:31:33,880 You know, the only upside is it gives us new grounds. What you see on this table 529 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,700 is research on inadequate counsel. 530 00:31:45,900 --> 00:31:46,900 I've put back out there. 531 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,580 You got to wait here all day? 532 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,080 They said they're close to a verdict. 533 00:32:21,700 --> 00:32:23,260 It's not like I have a job to go to. 534 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:33,520 Listen, what I said about your integrity and stuff, 535 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,300 I meant that. 536 00:32:35,860 --> 00:32:36,860 I know you did. 537 00:32:38,740 --> 00:32:43,420 And that stuff about it being reasonable to fear us, you meant that too, didn't 538 00:32:43,420 --> 00:32:44,420 you? 539 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:57,220 The most discouraging part is that I can tell you're a really nice man. 540 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,480 Part of me hopes I lose. 541 00:33:21,550 --> 00:33:25,470 You want me to what? Just what I said. This is the judicial part of the 542 00:33:25,570 --> 00:33:29,050 counsel. I don't give orders to the police on how to investigate their case. 543 00:33:29,050 --> 00:33:30,870 asking you to order them to investigate, period. 544 00:33:31,090 --> 00:33:31,769 We have. 545 00:33:31,770 --> 00:33:34,130 You haven't. Head in a handbag, that's enough. 546 00:33:34,410 --> 00:33:37,430 You're afraid of investigating for fear it'll come between open and shut. 547 00:33:37,630 --> 00:33:40,810 I'm offended by that, Eleanor. What have you really done? Everything. 548 00:33:41,390 --> 00:33:44,030 Forensics. DNA. What about the poet? Did you go down that path? 549 00:33:44,310 --> 00:33:45,310 The who? 550 00:33:45,550 --> 00:33:49,090 There is a serial killer known as the Poet, Your Honor. One of our former 551 00:33:49,090 --> 00:33:52,870 clients was convicted of trying to copy him. He rapes and decapitates... 552 00:33:52,870 --> 00:33:56,810 Different M .O. Well, maybe he mixed things up for spice this time. We 553 00:33:56,810 --> 00:34:00,610 considered the Poet. Our investigation points to George Vogelman and George 554 00:34:00,610 --> 00:34:04,950 Vogelman alone. We also have evidence that the victim had contacts with people 555 00:34:04,950 --> 00:34:05,869 on the Internet. 556 00:34:05,870 --> 00:34:09,750 Look, Counsel, you're free to conduct your own investigation. 557 00:34:10,270 --> 00:34:11,429 You want time? 558 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,380 I'll give it to you. We don't have any money. They have an unlimited budget. My 559 00:34:15,380 --> 00:34:19,020 client is broke. Well, I can't do anything about that, and I can't order 560 00:34:19,020 --> 00:34:21,580 keep looking if they're convinced they have the killer. 561 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,980 If their thinking is suspect, we have the device to deal with that. 562 00:34:26,219 --> 00:34:27,580 We call it the trial. 563 00:34:28,540 --> 00:34:32,040 Every criminal defendant has to rely on the integrity of the process. 564 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,060 Not just me, not just you, but the police and the DA, too. 565 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,800 And we have nothing but your protests to suggest they haven't done their jobs. 566 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,500 A shoddy investigation is a defense counsel's dream. 567 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,380 If you think you've got one, take advantage. 568 00:34:48,620 --> 00:34:49,800 It's not that simple. 569 00:34:50,100 --> 00:34:51,820 Unfortunately, it is. 570 00:34:53,580 --> 00:34:54,580 That's all. 571 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,120 Your Honor.
