1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,040 Previously on L .A. Law. 2 00:00:02,260 --> 00:00:04,420 You and Ms. Alder had a relationship, right? 3 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,620 I wouldn't call it a relationship. We went out a few times. 4 00:00:07,900 --> 00:00:13,880 You had sexual relations on some of those occasions, didn't you? 5 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:15,900 What's this about, Mr. Gordon? 6 00:00:16,140 --> 00:00:18,120 This is about paternity, Mr. Markowitz. 7 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:19,960 You have a daughter. 8 00:00:20,380 --> 00:00:21,460 She's your daughter, Stuart. 9 00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:24,160 What? You're the father, I can tell. 10 00:00:24,620 --> 00:00:28,160 Terrific. Let's drop some paper. Look in her eyes, for God's sake. Can't you see 11 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,040 it? I don't believe this. How are we going to tell Matthew? 12 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,740 Are you okay about this? It's not the mother. 13 00:00:33,180 --> 00:00:38,660 It's the idea that there is a stranger out there that has some kind of claim on 14 00:00:38,660 --> 00:00:41,360 you. Is this what they mean by hands -on journalism? 15 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,400 Roxanne. Hi. 16 00:00:48,020 --> 00:00:50,400 This is Julie Rayburn. 17 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:52,720 Do you know Julie River? No. 18 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,660 No, but I've heard a lot about her. 19 00:00:55,060 --> 00:00:57,100 I live with someone. 20 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,680 And I love her.

I'm doing the best that I can. 31 00:01:34,810 --> 00:01:37,310 Could you speed it up in there, please? I'm late. 32 00:01:37,610 --> 00:01:39,050 You can join me if you want to. 33 00:01:39,630 --> 00:01:40,630 No, thank you. 34 00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:42,039 Come on, Rock. 35 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,520 I'm moving a little slow here. 36 00:01:44,020 --> 00:01:45,020 There's a drought. 37 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:46,520 You're a good citizen. 38 00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:57,180 So how are they feeling, Tim? 39 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,180 Oh, much better, thank you. 40 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,320 Ah, here.

I swear on my Tinder, recuperating parts, nothing. 55 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,620 I believe you. Good. Could you let go now, please? 56 00:02:58,990 --> 00:02:59,990 Do I have to? 57 00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:04,430 Maybe not. 58 00:05:11,820 --> 00:05:14,520 Is your name Robert Henry Richards? 59 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:15,920 Yes. 60 00:05:16,460 --> 00:05:18,320 Were you born in Santa Monica, California? 61 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,000 Yes. 62 00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:24,340 Did Tyra McDermott consent to have sexual intercourse with you on September 63 00:05:24,340 --> 00:05:25,340 20th, 1991? 64 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,960 Yes. Did you have the highest batting average in the National League last 65 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,320 Uh, no. 66 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,080 No? Well, they called my single in the last game an error, so Pendleton won the 67 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,320 title. You were robbed. 68 00:05:37,940 --> 00:05:39,380 Do you have a California driver's license? 69 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:40,720 Uh, yes. 70 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,520 Did you rape Tara McDermott on September 20th, 1991? 71 00:05:44,260 --> 00:05:45,260 No. 72 00:05:46,740 --> 00:05:48,400 Okay, that's it. You can move. 73 00:05:49,140 --> 00:05:50,200 So, how'd I do? 74 00:05:52,300 --> 00:05:53,300 He can hear. 75 00:05:53,460 --> 00:05:54,640 Your client's telling the truth. 76 00:05:57,280 --> 00:05:59,060 So how come we can't use this thing in court? 77 00:05:59,380 --> 00:06:02,360 So how come you can't steal second base on a foul ball? 78 00:06:03,180 --> 00:06:04,180 Rules of the game. 79 00:06:04,340 --> 00:06:07,680 That's right. But don't worry. The jury will get to hear you. 80 00:06:16,859 --> 00:06:18,280 Is Robbie going to take the stand? 81 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,380 We haven't made that determination, but since the polygraph test Robbie passed 82 00:06:22,380 --> 00:06:25,460 is not admissible, chances are he will testify. 83 00:06:25,740 --> 00:06:26,840 Well, there he is. 84 00:06:27,210 --> 00:06:28,009 Well done. 85 00:06:28,010 --> 00:06:29,810 Come on, Ann, you'd do the same. 86 00:06:30,050 --> 00:06:33,210 I'm sorry, I wouldn't. That's cheap thrills throwing in a polygraph test. 87 00:06:33,490 --> 00:06:36,030 Are you upset that he passed? There's nothing. Exactly. 88 00:06:36,350 --> 00:06:39,430 What, you think he's got to be guilty just because a woman yells rape? What 89 00:06:39,430 --> 00:06:40,950 would she have to gain from making it up? 90 00:06:41,210 --> 00:06:45,390 Lazy groundwork for a big fat civil suit. That's right. Stuart, excuse me if 91 00:06:45,390 --> 00:06:46,790 it's not politically correct. 92 00:06:47,150 --> 00:06:52,330 but I'm representing this man as Alex is defending a drug lord. He's not a drug 93 00:06:52,330 --> 00:06:55,990 lord. He's just a guy who was dumb enough to take a fall. And I happen to 94 00:06:55,990 --> 00:06:59,590 believe my client. Would you be so bothered if this were a murder charge? 95 00:06:59,850 --> 00:07:03,870 No, I'm bothered because the incidence of false rape report is minuscule. Well, 96 00:07:03,890 --> 00:07:06,510 then let's forget trials and just castrate the bastard. 97 00:07:06,810 --> 00:07:10,370 Ladies, ladies, please, a little sensitivity. It's Arnie's first day 98 00:07:10,610 --> 00:07:13,550 Yeah, he still may be feeling a little testy. But we know you'll be back on the 99 00:07:13,550 --> 00:07:14,990 ball in no time. Right, Arnie? 100 00:07:15,290 --> 00:07:16,290 Thanks, guys. 101 00:07:17,140 --> 00:07:21,620 Neck, people versus Ruiz. I thought we agreed to plead this out. For some 102 00:07:21,620 --> 00:07:25,160 reason, the D .A. won't budge. Judge Kelton's playing hardball. Kelton's 103 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,860 favorite game. Yeah, well, your first piece of bad luck was ending up in his 104 00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:31,900 courtroom. Tell me about it. The evidence against my guy comes from a 105 00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:35,520 cocaine customers that somebody planted in his house, and the cops took it 106 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:36,359 without a warrant. 107 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,520 And Kelton's gonna let it in? He ruled it was found incident to arrest and 108 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:40,780 denied my motion to suppress. 109 00:07:41,060 --> 00:07:42,420 You plead this one now, Alex. 110 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,730 Make the D .A. listen to you. And on that sound advice... We're adjourned. 111 00:07:50,730 --> 00:07:55,690 No, C .J., I'm just saying I followed his career for two years. He doesn't 112 00:07:55,690 --> 00:07:56,569 to be the type. 113 00:07:56,570 --> 00:08:00,550 Oh, come on. Now, the D .A. only brought charges because Richards is a 114 00:08:00,550 --> 00:08:03,210 superstar. You probably have his rookie card. 115 00:08:03,870 --> 00:08:05,630 Right. I'm angling for an autograph. 116 00:08:06,070 --> 00:08:08,570 You've got to give me some of the retainer bags. How much, Rui? 117 00:08:10,030 --> 00:08:14,110 Fifteen. You think we can buy Judge Kelton for fifty? Are you nuts? 118 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:15,900 You're talking about a crime. 119 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,340 Besides, no way Judge Kelton's crooked. Who's this guy? An ex -cop. He's a 120 00:08:23,340 --> 00:08:24,340 friend of Kelton's. 121 00:08:25,300 --> 00:08:26,460 He can make it go away. 122 00:08:26,660 --> 00:08:28,760 He's running a scam on you. He knows you're scared. 123 00:08:29,020 --> 00:08:30,020 You bet I'm scared. 124 00:08:30,380 --> 00:08:33,220 I'm looking at a 12 -year minimum. So you want to add a bribery charge? 125 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,960 Simone, I want to go for it. Look, I'm not just your attorney. I'm an officer 126 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,380 the court. But you've got a problem. I'll get me another lawyer. 127 00:08:40,580 --> 00:08:42,240 Good. This firm would love to see me get rid of you. 128 00:08:45,170 --> 00:08:47,710 Or you can let me talk to the sex cop. 129 00:08:48,170 --> 00:08:51,490 I'll force his hand, prove he's no friend of Judge Kelton's. But then we go 130 00:08:51,490 --> 00:08:52,950 to doing things my way. 131 00:08:53,990 --> 00:08:55,310 How are you going to call his bluff? 132 00:08:59,090 --> 00:09:00,590 Stuart, I... Oh, sorry. 133 00:09:00,810 --> 00:09:02,430 No, Anne, come here, come here. 134 00:09:02,650 --> 00:09:06,350 I'd like you to meet Karen Alder. It's Sarah's mother. This is my wife, Anne 135 00:09:06,350 --> 00:09:08,910 Kelsey. Hi. It's a pleasure meeting you. 136 00:09:10,870 --> 00:09:12,590 Well, I'd better get going. 137 00:09:14,189 --> 00:09:16,610 I'll tell Sarah your idea. Maybe it's a good solution. 138 00:09:16,870 --> 00:09:17,910 I think it's worth a try. 139 00:09:18,110 --> 00:09:19,370 Yeah. Okay. Okay. 140 00:09:20,210 --> 00:09:21,750 I'll let you know what she decides. 141 00:09:22,470 --> 00:09:24,870 It was nice meeting you. Nice to meet you. Okay. 142 00:09:25,150 --> 00:09:26,390 Bye -bye. Thanks, Karen. 143 00:09:30,230 --> 00:09:31,230 What's worth a try? 144 00:09:31,830 --> 00:09:36,650 I was sending some money to Sarah, you know, for books and clothes and things 145 00:09:36,650 --> 00:09:37,389 like that. 146 00:09:37,390 --> 00:09:38,950 Karen thought it was a terrible idea. 147 00:09:39,170 --> 00:09:42,150 She doesn't want to come running to me. Every time she needs money, she thinks 148 00:09:42,150 --> 00:09:43,150 she should earn some of it herself. 149 00:09:44,130 --> 00:09:47,850 Sounds sensible. So suddenly it hit me. I'm drowning in paperwork here. Why 150 00:09:47,850 --> 00:09:48,850 don't I hire Sarah? 151 00:09:50,050 --> 00:09:52,010 Hiring family members can get pretty messy. 152 00:09:52,450 --> 00:09:54,170 Well, we're family. We work together. 153 00:09:54,450 --> 00:09:55,470 That's not the same thing at all. 154 00:09:56,210 --> 00:09:59,150 You don't even know Sarah yet. Yeah, so this way I'll get to know her. I'm not 155 00:09:59,150 --> 00:10:01,590 saying that you shouldn't get to know your daughter. Why are you having a 156 00:10:01,590 --> 00:10:04,450 problem with this? Because I'm jealous of her, and I'm scared that she's going 157 00:10:04,450 --> 00:10:05,450 to keep you from us. 158 00:10:05,710 --> 00:10:08,810 Oh, I... I know, but that's how I feel. I can't help it. 159 00:10:13,930 --> 00:10:14,930 I love you. 160 00:10:15,270 --> 00:10:16,390 I love our son. 161 00:10:17,110 --> 00:10:18,110 Okay? 162 00:10:19,430 --> 00:10:21,590 It's just that I can't pretend Sarah doesn't exist. 163 00:10:22,070 --> 00:10:26,430 I've got to get past the hurdle of this person being a stranger to me. And I 164 00:10:26,430 --> 00:10:28,050 think offering her a job is a great way to start. 165 00:10:28,630 --> 00:10:29,630 Okay? 166 00:10:38,790 --> 00:10:41,590 Miss McDermott, where did you meet Robbie Richards? 167 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:48,540 At a bar in Malibu, the Key Largo. He kept looking at me, and then he 168 00:10:48,540 --> 00:10:51,780 came over and asked if he could buy me a drink. 169 00:10:52,060 --> 00:10:53,039 And you agreed? 170 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,140 Sure. It's not every day that I get to meet somebody like him. 171 00:10:56,340 --> 00:10:58,140 How long did you stay at the bar? 172 00:10:58,420 --> 00:11:02,060 We talked for about an hour. We really seemed to hit it off. 173 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,940 And then he asked if I wanted to go to a party. 174 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,500 Now, up to this point, was there anything... 175 00:11:10,220 --> 00:11:13,520 And Mr. Richards' behavior that suggested you were in danger. 176 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:19,840 No. I mean, I knew that he was flirting with me, but... I 177 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,340 thought he was real sweet. 178 00:11:22,580 --> 00:11:24,580 But that changed at the party. 179 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,740 Yes.

Listen, I completely understand your outrage, but 379 00:22:35,740 --> 00:22:38,040 surely you understand the position you're in now. 380 00:22:38,260 --> 00:22:43,380 This office is enormously grateful to you and enormously dependent on your 381 00:22:43,380 --> 00:22:44,380 continued assistance. 382 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,920 Well, don't get too attached to that scheme. I do not have to play along. 383 00:22:47,940 --> 00:22:52,120 but if our suspicions are valid, we're talking about corruption that stinks to 384 00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:56,580 high heaven. Now, this man makes a travesty of everything you and I do. Now 385 00:22:56,580 --> 00:22:57,580 we've flushed him out. 386 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,420 Ventresca trusts you. We can nail the bastard if you help. 387 00:23:01,660 --> 00:23:03,080 You want me to deliver the bribe? 388 00:23:04,060 --> 00:23:05,720 I hoped we could count on you. 389 00:23:06,540 --> 00:23:09,460 That's why I took the liberty of having this prepared. 390 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,960 I think $50 ,000 was the sum Mr. Ventresca is expecting. 391 00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:14,360 Yeah. 392 00:23:14,510 --> 00:23:18,610 And if Judge Kelton wriggles out of this somehow and stays on the bench, I take 393 00:23:18,610 --> 00:23:20,090 the heat for the rest of my career. 394 00:23:20,390 --> 00:23:21,390 There's that risk. 395 00:23:22,290 --> 00:23:23,290 You got some nerve. 396 00:23:23,490 --> 00:23:25,750 The question is, do you have the nerve to join me? 397 00:23:26,330 --> 00:23:28,570 If you do, you've got to keep this completely quiet. 398 00:23:28,930 --> 00:23:31,550 Judge Kelton has too many friends in too many arenas. 399 00:23:38,730 --> 00:23:39,730 Thanks to Palmer. 400 00:23:46,540 --> 00:23:49,680 My wife and I had invited the rest of the team over for a barbecue. 401 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,840 Sometime after midnight, I saw Robbie and Miss McDermott slip out back. 402 00:23:55,220 --> 00:23:58,760 When did you next see them? About 20 minutes later, I was upstairs checking 403 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,720 the kids when I heard a scream from outside. 404 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,460 I went out onto the balcony and saw them down on the bluff. 405 00:24:04,780 --> 00:24:05,780 What were they doing? 406 00:24:05,980 --> 00:24:07,980 At first, I thought they were having sex. 407 00:24:08,220 --> 00:24:11,660 But then she jumped to her feet and started running back to the house. 408 00:24:11,940 --> 00:24:14,140 And what did Mr. Richards do? 409 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:15,760 He chased her. 410 00:24:16,170 --> 00:24:19,870 and grabbed her. She screamed and kept on trying to break free, but he wouldn't 411 00:24:19,870 --> 00:24:25,390 let her go. I hustled down there to see what was going on, but by the time I got 412 00:24:25,390 --> 00:24:27,650 outside, they were already coming up the walkway. 413 00:24:27,870 --> 00:24:32,150 Did you say anything to either one of them? I asked her if she was okay, but 414 00:24:32,150 --> 00:24:35,350 just walked on by with this blank look on her face. 415 00:24:35,590 --> 00:24:36,590 Thank you. 416 00:24:36,710 --> 00:24:37,710 Nothing further. 417 00:24:41,420 --> 00:24:45,240 Mr. Landis, what is the distance from your balcony to the spot on the cliff 418 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,240 where you saw Mr. 419 00:24:46,260 --> 00:24:49,120 Richards and Miss McDermott? I'd say 50 yards. 420 00:24:49,540 --> 00:24:51,500 It's a night with a half moon. 421 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:57,560 You're standing 50 yards away and you see a couple running and grabbing at 422 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,560 other. And you immediately conclude this is something sinister. 423 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,920 This wasn't play. It was violent. 424 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,880 Then why didn't you yell something to make them stop? 425 00:25:07,420 --> 00:25:11,120 I went down there. To see what was going on. 426 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,960 Those are your exact words, Mr. Landis. 427 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,280 You went down there because you didn't know what you had seen. Isn't that 428 00:25:18,540 --> 00:25:19,620 I know what I saw. 429 00:25:22,420 --> 00:25:26,820 Is it true that your teammates have nicknamed you Mr. Clean? 430 00:25:27,540 --> 00:25:28,540 Objection. It's irrelevant. 431 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,460 Goes to bias, Your Honor. I can get there. See that you do. 432 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,320 The witness will answer. 433 00:25:33,660 --> 00:25:35,300 I know the reputation I have. 434 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:36,760 Yes. 435 00:25:36,910 --> 00:25:39,850 I'm a Christian, and I believe in family values. 436 00:25:40,090 --> 00:25:42,290 And you don't approve of premarital sex? 437 00:25:42,610 --> 00:25:46,950 I don't think a big league uniform is a license to use women like Kleenex. Now, 438 00:25:46,990 --> 00:25:50,050 is that your opinion of how Robbie Richards treated women? 439 00:25:50,670 --> 00:25:56,870 Yes. So when you saw him slip out back with his date, you assumed something 440 00:25:56,870 --> 00:26:01,150 unseemly was going to take place. Hey, I saw what I saw. You saw what you 441 00:26:01,150 --> 00:26:04,690 expected to see because you didn't like Robbie Richards. And no matter what I 442 00:26:04,690 --> 00:26:07,490 thought of Robbie's lifestyle, I wouldn't want to hurt him. Because when 443 00:26:07,490 --> 00:26:11,690 gets slung at ballplayers, the whole game gets dirty. And that hurts what I 444 00:26:11,690 --> 00:26:15,250 love. But I can't change what I saw, and I won't say I didn't see it. Your 445 00:26:15,250 --> 00:26:16,250 Honor. 446 00:26:16,610 --> 00:26:17,610 Overruled. 447 00:26:19,730 --> 00:26:20,810 I have nothing further. 448 00:26:29,199 --> 00:26:30,740 How bad was that for us? 449 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:32,440 Bad enough. 450 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,860 He's your own colleague, and he didn't come off nearly as biased as I'd hoped. 451 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,520 So what now? If you have plans tonight, cancel them. 452 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,520 We have to get you ready to testify tomorrow. 453 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,180 Hey, Sarah. How was school? 454 00:26:49,780 --> 00:26:52,360 Okay. I almost have the client packets ready. 455 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,180 Terrific. Then you deserve a break. 456 00:26:55,140 --> 00:26:56,560 I got you something at lunch. 457 00:26:57,500 --> 00:27:00,240 Now, you said your favorite subject was ancient history, right? 458 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:01,860 Mm -hmm. Do you have this one yet? 459 00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:03,120 No. 460 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,200 Thanks. 461 00:27:06,340 --> 00:27:07,259 It's nice. 462 00:27:07,260 --> 00:27:11,480 I'll tell you, history put me into a coma until I started traveling. Then the 463 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,360 whole world opened up. I've got to get these out to the messenger. 464 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:15,560 Yeah, I'll help you. 465 00:27:18,660 --> 00:27:20,360 So, have you done any traveling? 466 00:27:20,700 --> 00:27:22,080 Not unless Ensenada counts. 467 00:27:22,900 --> 00:27:24,560 Ensenada's not exactly what I had in mind. 468 00:27:24,980 --> 00:27:28,520 Now, I was thinking maybe you could go abroad in your junior year. That's what 469 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,860 my father did for me. Look, you're not my father. 470 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,360 I mean, you are. 471 00:27:34,020 --> 00:27:36,440 But give me a break. Stop trying so hard. 472 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:55,780 Want to get a bite to eat? 473 00:27:56,180 --> 00:27:57,380 Uh, too much homework. 474 00:27:57,700 --> 00:27:59,660 I'm still struggling with this Ruiz thing. 475 00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,200 That's not what I heard. 476 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:06,080 Heard the judge did you a big favor. Well, he's just reconsidering. That is 477 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,340 plenty coming from Kelton. 478 00:28:07,540 --> 00:28:10,700 Maybe he's getting soft in his old age. I don't think that's it, Alex. 479 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,180 What's going on? I heard something coming out of this office the other day. 480 00:28:15,180 --> 00:28:17,260 really on the run here, Tom. Don't jerk me around. 481 00:28:17,500 --> 00:28:18,500 Let's do this later. 482 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,160 Do you think you can pull off some two -bit stunt? Don't jump to conclusions. 483 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,160 You want me to trust you? 484 00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:26,280 Help me out a little. Just get the hell out of my office. I vouch for you here. 485 00:28:26,340 --> 00:28:30,200 The partner said reservations, pal, but I said I know this kid. He ain't Ivy 486 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,960 League. He ain't up for 5 % of his class, but he is a fighter. He will give 487 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:34,819 his best. 488 00:28:34,820 --> 00:28:37,180 You screw up, Alex, you're screwing me. 489 00:28:46,220 --> 00:28:49,800 Didn't Tara McDermott pull away when you first tried to kiss her? No, sir. She 490 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,200 kissed me back. Didn't she say that? 491 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:52,480 No, I don't want to. 492 00:28:52,990 --> 00:28:55,730 She did, but she had to hear her. She was laughing. 493 00:28:56,910 --> 00:28:58,470 She, uh, laid on the ground. 494 00:28:58,710 --> 00:29:01,690 You didn't push her down? No, that's a bunch of bull. Don't lose your cool. 495 00:29:01,750 --> 00:29:02,830 That's what the D .A. wants. 496 00:29:05,010 --> 00:29:08,270 She reclined on the ground while you weren't touching her. 497 00:29:08,770 --> 00:29:10,390 No, I was holding her. 498 00:29:10,730 --> 00:29:12,790 We went down together. 499 00:29:13,290 --> 00:29:14,410 It was sort of frantic. 500 00:29:14,850 --> 00:29:17,110 Okay. Now, once you were down on the ground, what happened? 501 00:29:18,130 --> 00:29:19,570 We started to roll around. 502 00:29:19,990 --> 00:29:21,290 She seemed to be liking it. 503 00:29:21,740 --> 00:29:25,320 Rolling around meaning sometimes you were on top and sometimes she was on 504 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,520 I think I was on top. 505 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,420 So you didn't roll, so you stayed on top. 506 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,220 What made you think she liked it? 507 00:29:37,140 --> 00:29:42,400 The way she was... She wasn't just laying there. 508 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,700 She was pressing against me. 509 00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:49,940 But you were on top, so weren't you pressing into her? 510 00:29:51,610 --> 00:29:52,990 Yeah. We were having sex. 511 00:29:53,570 --> 00:29:56,270 Was that when you put your arm across her throat? 512 00:29:56,470 --> 00:29:57,470 I wasn't trying to choke her. 513 00:29:57,690 --> 00:29:58,930 I was holding her hands. 514 00:29:59,150 --> 00:30:00,049 Her hands? 515 00:30:00,050 --> 00:30:05,250 Or one of them. So you had both her hands and one of yours held, what, up 516 00:30:05,250 --> 00:30:06,250 her head? 517 00:30:06,530 --> 00:30:09,610 Yeah. Maybe for part of it. Which part? The part when you entered her? 518 00:30:10,070 --> 00:30:10,869 I guess. 519 00:30:10,870 --> 00:30:12,810 Yeah. But she wasn't fighting. 520 00:30:13,030 --> 00:30:15,470 Not a little? Not even, you know, struggle? 521 00:30:15,910 --> 00:30:19,910 Sure. Only, you know, like... Like she was hot for it. 522 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:21,960 Robbie, did she guide you in? 523 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,100 No. That's right. Her hands are trapped over her head. What about her legs? Did 524 00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:27,100 her legs fall open? 525 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:28,139 What do you mean? 526 00:30:28,140 --> 00:30:32,400 I mean, did you use your free hand or your knee to push her legs apart? 527 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,420 Yeah. It was pretty passionate. 528 00:30:35,660 --> 00:30:37,580 And the frantic pace escalated? Yes. 529 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,040 And she was struggling under you? 530 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,840 Yes. And she was still laughing and yelling? No. 531 00:30:42,060 --> 00:30:44,040 It was more like a whisper. 532 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,020 You know, like women do. 533 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:49,640 What do you mean? 534 00:30:50,890 --> 00:30:57,810 say no when they mean yes you know like it's a turn on or something so so 535 00:30:57,810 --> 00:31:02,950 she was struggling like women do when they're turned on and she was saying no 536 00:31:02,950 --> 00:31:06,270 the way women do when they mean yes right 537 00:31:06,270 --> 00:31:12,170 my god what 538 00:31:12,170 --> 00:31:15,490 you did it robbie you raped her 539 00:31:19,940 --> 00:31:20,940 No, I didn't. 540 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:23,120 Tell her what I meant. 541 00:31:23,220 --> 00:31:27,220 Hey, man, I don't know what you meant, but I know you just described a rape. 542 00:31:28,700 --> 00:31:30,680 I must have said it wrong. 543 00:31:32,180 --> 00:31:35,540 Tell me what I said. I won't say it that way. You mean you're lying. 544 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:40,960 I can't put you on the stand. 545 00:31:41,220 --> 00:31:42,700 But you said the jury needed to hear me. 546 00:31:43,900 --> 00:31:48,500 You said if I didn't testify, we could lose. If I let you testify now, we will 547 00:31:48,500 --> 00:31:49,500 lose. 548 00:31:56,810 --> 00:31:57,629 Thank you. 549 00:31:57,630 --> 00:32:01,410 Miss Van Owen, you may call your next witness.
