Murder in the second degree, case #542234.

Mr. Osha?

Your Honor, given the serious nature of the charge,

and the fact that the defendant was a veteran police officer

with unique knowledge of the criminal justice system,

as well as having access to confidential informants

and members of organized crime syndicates,

we believe he poses a significant flight risk.

And as such, we would request that

no bail be set, and that the defendant

be remanded to Cook County Jail until trial.

Mr. Manetti?

Your Honor, the state's request

is both preposterous and punitive.

This case is built on sand.

The only evidence connecting Alvin Olinsky

to the homicide victim is a single strand of hair

and the testimony of a drug-addled witness.

As such, to hold Mr. Olinsky in prison

to leverage some sort of plea bargain
