(indistinct chatter)

ANNA: Excuse me.

I'm sorry to bother you.

Are you a lawyer?

I am.

My name is Anna Vjorka,

and I need a lawyer.

I see.

Do you have any money?

Um, some, $12.

I see.

You know $12 barely covers the time

it would take me to say, "I can't help you."

And since I've already said it, give me the 12 bucks.

I'm from Romania.

That's a nice country.

Beautiful castles.

ANNA: I don't want to go back.

Can you please help me?

Anna.

What are you doing?

I'm not going back, dad.

What do you mean you're not--

I'm not going.

Can you please help me?

Anna.

What's going on here?

ANNA: If I go back to Romania,

they'll force me to get married.

Anna, let's go.

One second, sir.

What do you mean they're gonna force you to get married?

They will, like they did with my sister.

This is a family matter. Let go of me.

Mr. Vjorka, your daughter is represented by counsel.

Sir...

I'm sure you don't mean to make trouble.

Oh, but I do. You're a foreigner.

Take your hand off the girl

or I'll get you declared a person of interest,

which means you'll be locked up forever

without so much as a trial. Don't think I kid you.

This is the United States of America.

I'm about to call for the police.

Excuse me. I hate to interrupt,

but this one's urgent, Your Honor.

Alan Shore representing, uh--is it Anya?

Anna Vjorka.

Anna Vjorka.

Petition for political asylum.

Res Ipsa Doozy.

(music playing)

Where's the girl now?

The custody of the INS.

We have a hearing scheduled for 2:00.

Why were you even there?

I was filing an appeal on a household matter

and stumbled across the girl and her father.

Jamie, could you do some

political asylum research for me?

I need it quickly.

And also dig up whatever you can on the Roma faith.

Roma?

R-O-M-A, yes.

Jimmy, looking well.

Meaning what?

He's always meaning something

with his little comments.

Enough with the comments.

Oh, you have a walk-in.

Lawrence Gilbert.

He's in your office.

He seems in need.

Nine months ago, my wife was murdered.

I'm sorry.

She had been stalked,

and the police were unable to deter him,

and eventually...

she was stabbed in our home.

I've just come from the district attorney's office.

The trial is set to begin tomorrow.

And I've just been informed

by the district attorney that

she intends to offer 15 years.

I'm here (sighs) wondering whether,

as the husband of the victim,

I have any rights to enjoin this.

Actually, you don't.

Clearly, if you were to pursue

the defendant civilly, you'd have rights,

but in a criminal proceeding--

What about--could we get it removed to a federal court?

I know the federal government sometimes claims

jurisdiction for murder cases

so they can impose the death penalty,

which (sighs) this man deserves.

Again, you would have no standing

to try to influence a criminal prosecution.

Do you think you could speak to this district attorney?

This is what he did to her.

You can't do that to somebody

and only get 15 years.

Could you talk to this DA?

Sure.

(sighs)

Thank you.

(music playing)

So, let's talk about your sister.

How old is she?

She was 13 when she got married.

Now she's 16.

Uh, after she was married, um...

did she and her new husband, uh...

Yes.

My father waved the sheets with blood on them.

That's tradition.

To show that the marriage was consummated.

Consummated is a big word for a 12-year-old to use.

There are some words I looked up.

That's one of them.

Why is your English so good? You have no accent.

We lived with relatives

in the United States for six years.

My mother was a visiting professor at Amherst.

And then we moved back two years ago.

And we've been on vacation here for the last two weeks.

Where does your mother stand in all this?

With my father.

You think I wanna give him murder two?

Look at my office.

I'm obsessed with getting this guy.

I'm just facing the possibility that I won't.

Walk with me.

Why wouldn't you get him?

It's all circumstantial.

No witnesses or forensics putting him in that house.

Worst-case scenario is he walks.

I don't think Mr. Gilbert wants that to happen.

Well, this guy got any priors?

A ton, but if he doesn't testify,

they don't come in, Eugene.

Look, I am not saying

that we're not gonna get him.

I'm just saying it's a risk.

I've explained this to your client.

He's just too emotional to hear it.

And by the way,

the defendant turned down the 15.

What does that tell you?

I notified the attorney general's office.

They don't oppose.

Well, I do.

Your Honor, all I'm asking is that the girl

be questioned in chambers instead of a big,

intimidating theater. Come on.

The courtroom is where we conduct

all our legal business, openly, notoriously,

in keeping with the constitution

and the intent of our founding fathers.

I do all my business openly

and notoriously, Counsel.

All of it.

How about sex, Your Honor?

You've brought before me a motion

for political asylum, Counsel.

That is a very serious piece of legal business.

It will be tried and adjudicated

in the courtroom.

Uh, it's not that she won't get him.

She very well may.

On murder one?

Uh, well, that could be tough.

More likely murder two or--

Thirty-one times he stabbed her.

What could be more heinous than that?

YOUNG: With that many wounds...

clearly he kept stabbing her after she was dead.

Now, that suggests a rage or mental state

that goes more to murder two--

So he could get parole?

This man deserves to get a bullet

right between his eyes.

Look, she's trying for murder one.

She is a good DA.

You mentioned going after him civilly.

I'd like to do that.

Mr. Gilbert-- GILBERT: I'd like to do that.

He comes from money. I know he has a house.

Mr. Gilbert...

people sometimes get consumed by hatred.

Don't let this man make you more of a victim

than you already are.

I think it would empower me to sue him civilly.

Would you represent me?

Let me monitor the criminal trial for a day or two,

and I'll let you know.

Assuming you are going to sue this man civilly,

let me give you some advice.

It's illegal to use a criminal case

for the purpose of advancing a civil one.

Now, I know you're not doing that, but...

Ms. Alexander tells me you've been

to the US Attorney's Office,

pressuring them.

In federal courts, they have the death penalty.

That's what he deserves, death.

Well, if you hope to have a civil claim at all,

you need to lay off the prosecutors.

A Chinese girl was granted asylum three years ago.

Forced marriage? That's the good news,

but it's not precedent.

And Ashcroft has since recalled for further review

all cases involving gender as a basis for asylum,

including forced marriages.

Great.

Jimmy.

Continuing to look well.

As are you, Alan.

I'm afraid it's against the law

for you specifically to stand there.

Fire code. No egress.

Another fat comment, Al?

All right, Jimmy, I must warn you

in addition to my knowing jiu-jitsu,

I'm also a direct descendant of Jonny Quest.

See how the lips move

while very few words come out?

Keep it up, Shore.

Keep it up.

Hey.

The next-door neighbor had noticed a car

parked several nights on their street

with a man sitting inside,

looking at a laptop computer.

ALEXANDER: Did she get a look at the driver?

DETECTIVE: No.

But she took down the plate number,

then called us after the murder.

The car was registered to Jake Spooner, the defendant.

We secured a search warrant for Mr. Spooner's home

in Cambridge and executed it.

And what did you find, Detective?

DETECTIVE: On the defendant's computer,

we found hours of video footage

of the Gilberts' nursery.

Did you determine the source?

DETECTIVE: Yes.

The Gilberts had a camera in the room.

They used it as a baby monitor.

It was over their daughter's crib.

Okay. But how did these images end up

on the defendant's computer?

He's the one who installed the cameras,

as well as the other electronics

in the victim's house.

And he also set up a system to intercept their videos.

ALEXANDER: And, Detective, can you tell us

what these videos on the defendant's computer showed?

On one file, it was mostly the baby sleeping.

Sometimes Tracy Gilbert came in the room

and played with her baby,

and twice she breastfed her child.

Mr. Gilbert was on it too,

feeding her a bottle.

But there was another file

where he had edited together scenes

and digitally manipulated them,

giving them some special effects that he added.

Hmm.

(music playing)

So, basically, he made a movie.

A graphic, disturbing movie.

Detective, Tracy Gilbert

had been stabbed 30 times?

Over 30.

Would it be fair to say whoever killed her

would likely be soaked in her blood?

Yes.

And yet you found none of Mrs. Gilbert's blood

on any of my client's clothes, did you?

DETECTIVE: No.

WILLOW: What about his house?

DETECTIVE: Not blood, but his prints

were all over the victim's house.

But he'd been in the house fixing some equipment

a week before, right?

That's correct.

Thank you.

No further questions, Detective.

Ms. Alexander?

Nothing, Your Honor.

KIRKLAND: We'll recess and resume

with our next witness after lunch.

(gavel bangs)

I don't even like him. Like who, Anna?

The boy that I'm supposed to marry.

I don't think he's nice.

I don't think he's cute.

I don't think he's anything.

Now, Anna, uh, in Romania,

the legal age for marriage is 18, am I right?

Yes. But we are Roma.

That's our religious faith.

Tradition is that they arrange child weddings

all the time.

My sister got married at 13,

and she had to have sex.

I don't want to have sex.

BENNETT: You say these arranged marriages happen a lot?

Yes.

Some of your friends get married in this way?

Yes.

BENNETT: Are they okay with it?

Maybe they are, but I'm not.

Are you afraid of this boy?

No. I just don't wanna marry him,

or anybody else.

Now, let's talk about your mom and dad.

Do you love them?

I do.

But that doesn't mean that I have to follow

all their ancient rules,

especially, the ones that are barbaric.

Barbaric.

Did your lawyer tell you to use that word?

Objection.

I told her to use reprehensible,

repugnant, and criminal.

She came up with barbaric all on her own.

Continue.

What do you think of America, Anna?

I love it.

Tell me, excluding this marriage business,

if you could choose which country

you'd rather live in, what would it be?

America.

I see.

Is it possible this might be more

about your wanting to stay here

than it is your fearing going back there?

It's about me not wanting to get married.

It's about me not wanting to have to be raped

by some 15-year-old boy I don't even like.

A client?

Former client.

Uh, I represented him 10, 12 years ago.

I mean, his name didn't ring a bell,

but when I saw his face--

When you represented him,

what was he charged with?

Murder.

You got him off?

YOUNG: Look, uh, Mr. Gilbert, I was doing my job.

Uh, it's not like I liked the guy.

Listen, obviously, I would have a conflict

representing you against him.

But let me do this.

I'll monitor the trial a little bit more.

I'll assess your case.

That much I can do.

If she's this opposed,

I won't make her go through with it.

Well, according to Anna, her sister was opposed.

She was crying and screaming

when they brought her into the church.

She had to go through with it.

The ceremony was halted and continued

only after she agreed.

Under duress?

Mr. Shore, my daughter is afraid

she'll miss her friends here.

That's what this is about.

I'm sure there are many kids coming out

of Disneyland seeking asylum too.

You are forcing your 12-year-old daughter

to be married, sir.

Please don't equate that with--

MR. VJORKA: There are Mormon families

who do that in this country.

SHORE: The Mormon Church does not sanction--

MR. VJORKA: But it happens. It goes on.

And the police don't always enforce the law against it,

do they, Mr. Shore?

How about we strike a deal then?

You leave your daughter here.

We'll raise her in Utah. Objection.

Our marital success rate far surpasses

the divorce numbers in this country.

SHORE: Just goes to show you what a little servitude

will get you, right, Mr. Vjorka?

STUCKY: Mr. Shore.

What happens now?

Well, tomorrow morning, we hear from your mother.

Tell me about her.

She's very nice, smart,

a professor.

If you had trouble with my dad,

you'll be no match for her.

You don't think I'm any match for you, do you?

How are we doing?

Political asylum is tough, Anna.

Though the whole world apparently hates us right now,

we still seem to be the destination of choice.

Do you think you could take me away from here?

Just for an hour or two.

It's so depressing here.

I'll tell you what, I'll try to persuade the judge

to let me take you out for breakfast.

May I ask...

do you have children?

I'm sure I must.

I know you're going to win.

Hmm.

When I was looking around the courtroom yesterday,

deciding what lawyer to run up to,

I saw your face and I knew...

you would be the one to save me.

The victim was stabbed 31 times

over her face, neck, torso, hands.

The blows were of such a force,

her head was almost separated from her body.

What can you tell us about the weapon?

It was a knife with a 6 1/4-inch blade,

serrated edges.

Do you know if the knife was ever located?

It was not.

However, we found this knife set

in the defendant's kitchen.

The set is always sold with five knives

of varying lengths.

The defendant had only four knives.

The one with the serrated 6 1/4-inch blade was missing.

Tests showed that the wounds to Mrs. Gilbert's body

were consistent with the missing knife.

And did the wounds tell you anything about the killer?

From the angles of penetration,

we determined that the killer

was over six feet and left-handed.

The knife you're referring to,

would it surprise you to learn that 5,000

identical knives were sold

in the last three years in the Boston area?

No.

And to confirm...

you never found the murder weapon.

No, we did not.

Yes, it's circumstantial, but from where I sit,

he's going away.

GILBERT: Murder one?

Well, that I don't know.

I have here an article.

It says where the federal government

can also bring civil rights charges,

and it doesn't amount to double jeopardy.

Does the death penalty ever apply

to these civil rights cases?

Mr. Gilbert...

I would never presume to know what you're going through,

but, um...

are you getting counseling?

See, uh, I took the liberty of looking

at some of those videos,

and there was one in particular.

You were sitting in a chair, feeding your daughter.

And what I saw was a father,

a man full of love,

somebody tender.

What I see sitting across from me now

is a man dominated by hate.

Now, while your rage is certainly understandable,

I would think that what your wife would want

for your daughter is for you

to try to be the man that I saw in that video.

I, um...

I don't really know how to do

anything else right now,

besides hate him.

Uh, and to be honest,

I hate you a little, as well

for getting him off 10 years ago,

for putting--

I'm sorry.

Well, my testimony is first up.

I suppose I should get some rest.

(music playing)

Should I give you the big defense-attorney speech?

I gave that speech to my wife at the time.

I gave her the line, you know.

Uh, "We represent the guilty,

thus ultimately protecting the innocent."

This...

was one of the innocents I was protecting.

GILBERT: After he had worked for us, he kept coming around,

presumably to check the equipment he installed.

ALEXANDER: Did this strike you as strange?

Perhaps a little. But we weren't alarmed,

until Tracy started to notice him at the market,

the gym, her art class.

He was everywhere she went.

We soon realized he was stalking her.

Did you go to the police?

We did.

They said since these were all public places,

there was nothing they could really do.

And, Mr. Gilbert, at some point,

you confronted the defendant, did you not?

GILBERT: Yes. Two days before the murder,

I asked him to refrain from following my wife.

I told him he was scaring her and my family.

I stated I was afraid for her safety.

And how did he respond?

He said if he wanted to harm her,

he wouldn't just follow her around.

WILLOW: My client had been in your house many times.

Yes, doing electrical work.

Even as recent as a week before the murder,

he was in your house.

Yes.

So you didn't regard him as a threat.

We were getting nervous,

but we attributed it to our own paranoia.

Then about a week before,

he entered the house without knocking,

and it jolted my wife.

That's when I went to the police.

Two days after that, I confronted him.

I assume you loved your wife very much.

You assumed correctly.

Love anyone else, as well?

I beg your pardon?

Were you having an affair

at the time of your wife's death?

Did you kill your wife, Mr. Gilbert?

Objection!

KIRKLAND: Ms. Willow, you'd better have

a good-faith basis for that question.

Sidebar, Your Honor.

ALEXANDER: What's this about?

Your Honor, last night I received an anonymous message.

I submit a copy for your review.

It may be completely bogus,

but since it alleges that Mr. Gilbert was having an affair

and that he is the killer of his wife, Tracy,

bogus or not, it's enough to give me good faith

for asking the question.

I'll allow it. Your Honor, I really...

But you're on a short leash.

Now step back.

WILLOW: Let's start with the affair, Mr. Gilbert.

Were you in love with another woman

at the time of your wife's murder?

I'd like to exercise my Fifth Amendment right

not to answer.

(indistinct chatter)

It had nothing to do with this case.

YOUNG: Mr. Gilbert, it may be irrelevant,

but we need... She's married.

She has a family.

I can't-- I can't do this to them.

(door opens and closes)

What the hell is going on?

Uh, am I free to say what you have told me?

No. Let me tell you something,

if you plead the Fifth, you giftwrap reasonable doubt

with a big, red bow.

Do you understand me?

The fact of the matter is, Mr. Gilbert,

you have no alibi

for the night of the murder.

Nobody can verify they saw you working late.

The reason we dismissed you as a suspect

is we had no motive.

Now we do.

Hold on a second.

I'm not trying to threaten you.

I'm just making you aware.

This is what the defense attorney

will play like a trombone.

Our only chance now

is to explore this affair,

rule you out as a suspect.

I'm not talking

about the affair.

Well, then we're done, Mr. Gilbert.

I'll certainly keep prosecuting,

but we're done.

(door opens and closes)

(music playing)

MRS. VJORKA: I was married when I was 12.

My mother was married when she was 14.

My grandmother was married when she was 13.

All arranged marriages?

Yes.

All successful, as well, I might add.

BENNETT: But, Mrs. Vjorka,

you do appreciate that the idea

is a little offensive to Americans.

I do.

But Americans have trouble comprehending

non-romantic unions.

Well, marriage without love...

Marriage is about family,

partnerships for parenting.

In our faith,

it's also about preserving ethnic identity.

And, by the way, arranged marriages

still go on in the United States,

however, quietly, for this very reason.

BENNETT: In the United States?

Yes.

And I don't mean simply in the Mormon faith.

It happens with Orthodox Jews,

the Greeks, Muslims, Hindus.

There are thousands of such marriages

every year in this country.

You see nothing wrong

with forcing Anna to be married

or to be raped?

If she doesn't consent

to consummating the marriage, Mr. Shore,

then sex shouldn't happen.

SHORE: But, Mrs. Vjorka, come on.

If her 15-year-old husband

overpowers her in the name of religious consummation,

he's not going to be prosecuted, is he?

MRS. VJORKA: First of all, how dare you

presume Roma boys to be rapists?

Because consummating the marriage

is part of Roma tradition.

Consummation is traditional in America, as well.

But if the bride says no,

we don't assume rape.

We assume capacity to give consent.

We can't do that with a 12-year-old.

You don't know our culture.

I know this is an archaic practice

that has no place in this child's life today.

I know persecution, Mrs. Vjorka.

I know crime... MRS. VJORKA: In this country,

you take newborn babies

and snip off the ends of their penises.

I imagine some other cultures would object to that.

The United States believes in

executing human beings

while every other westernized country finds that barbaric.

Yes.

I'm sure we could exchange cultural barbs ad nauseam.

It wouldn't change the fact

you're this girl's mother, uh...

And I love her deeply.

And perhaps you would entertain the radical idea

that a mother might know what's best for her daughter.

And perhaps you could allow

for the not-so-radical reality,

this girl is a child.

MRS. VJORKA: Whose parents deserve the right

to raise her according to their culture,

even should it have the audacity

to vary from the United States of America.

Told you she would be tough.

Yes, you did.

Anna, should we win here,

are you going to be happy being raised

by your relatives?

Maybe I'll marry you.

Got you.

(chuckles)

My relatives understand.

They'll look after me.

Won't you miss your parents?

Of course, I will.

I'll probably cry forever.

But it's not right that I should be forced

to marry somebody I do not love

or even like.

That is not right.

(knocks on door)

Jury's out?

Who knows for how long

with your friend taking the Fifth?

Who are we kidding?

Do you think it's possible

he could have done it?

I don't know.

You know, we always go to the spouse first,

because he had no alibi.

We interviewed every person in this guy's life.

All of them said he was devoted

to his wife and family.

"Hopelessly in love with her"

were the words most often used.

I don't see him

stabbing her 31 times.

No,

I don't think he could have done it,

to answer your question.

BENNETT: I'm not here

representing Mr. and Mrs. Vjorka.

I'm here representing the United States,

a country being condemned worldwide, at the moment,

for imposing its views

beyond its own borders.

Do I favor arranged marriages?

Absolutely not.

When children are involved,

I find it abhorrent,

as I'm sure you do, Your Honor.

But it is simply not our right

to dictate our notion of morality

to foreign countries.

Anna Vjorka is a wonderful, little girl

but by her own testimony,

she's not really afraid of getting married.

She just doesn't want to do it.

That simply fails to rise

to the legal threshold of persecution

that warrants asylum.

This girl has a loving family,

eager to safeguard her future

according to their culture and their tradition.

As much as we might reject that tradition,

it is not our right

to substitute our own.

Your Honor, these are not particularly

proud times for Americans.

Around the world, we're increasingly

perceived as imperialists.

Where they get that,

I haven't a clue.

But I think we can all agree,

the last thing we need to do right now

is to continue to police

more foreign cultures.

The truth is I agree with almost everything

Mr. Bennett just said.

But this is a child

facing an enforced marriage

she does not want,

facing enforced sex

she does not want.

This isn't tantamount to rape,

it is rape.

Rape.

It may surprise you,

but I happen to be

a very proud American,

and where I remain most proud of our nation

is in the belief that its people

remain strongly committed to human rights.

At our noblest, the United States

serves to protect the weak,

the oppressed.

A 12-year-old child

is asking you today to spare her

from an unimaginable atrocity.

I fully understand we can't be policemen for the world,

but...

how about for one innocent,

vulnerable child?

You sure you wanna be here?

They know he killed her.

They have to know it.

KIRKLAND: Mr. Foreman, have you reached a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

The defendant will please rise.

What say you?

In the matter of Commonwealth versus Jake Spooner,

on the charge of murder in the first degree,

we find the defendant, Jake Spooner,

not guilty.

(indistinct chatter)

KIRKLAND: Thank you.

This completes your service.

Mr. Spooner, you are free to go.

We are adjourned.

(gavel bangs)

(indistinct chatter)

You okay?

Mr. Gilbert?

I can still pursue him civilly, right?

Well, uh, that affair business

would come up in a civil trial too.

Mr. Gilbert, uh, I don't mean to sound

like a broken record here, but...

you really need to let it go now.

I mean, you have a little girl.

You have your entire life ahead of you.

Uh, otherwise... WOMAN: There he is.

(indistinct chatter)

I keep saying I got nothing to say

other than, uh, this was justice.

I'm innocent.

I didn't stab anybody.

And I'm grateful that the jury saw it my way.

And now I'm just to try to get back on with my life...

(grunts) MAN: Oh, shots fired!

Get down!

(indistinct chatter)

MAN: Stay where you are.

(indistinct chatter)

Witnesses reported a blue pickup

fleeing the scene.

There has been no description

of any of the occupants.

Did he order it?

Gilbert?

I don't know.

Well, who else would have done it?

I don't know.

Where is he?

Police got him for questioning.

Is there a reason you're not with him?

I'm done with the man.

People from all over the world

appear before me every day

begging,

"Please let me stay in this country."

Some facing unimaginable poverty,

oppression,

or cultural hatred.

We typically,

uniformly,

say no.

Here we have a young girl who,

quite justifiably,

doesn't want to have her hand

forced in marriage

at the age of 12.

Mr. and Mrs. Vjorka,

I find this Roma tradition

to be repugnant,

even sick.

But I realize that could be

my own cultural bias talking.

And I am mindful that the legal test

for persecution is not how I feel

or even what Anna feels,

but what the reasonable person

in Anna's predicament,

in Anna's country would feel.

The testimony in evidence

seemed to clearly establish

that these forced marriages typically happen

in the Roma faith.

That it's a cultural norm.

And that the reasonable

Roma 12-year-old girl

does not feel persecuted by them.

Looking at this through their lens,

which I am required by law to do,

I cannot find the level of persecution

that would authorize me to grant asylum.

Mr. and Mrs. Vjorka,

I would love nothing more than to impose my American culture

and my American values upon you,

but I can't.

All I can do is hope,

even pray, that you abide

by your daughter's wishes.

The plaintiff's petition is denied.

The minor should be immediately released to her parents.

(gavel bangs)

(sighs)

Can we appeal?

No.

What do you mean?

There's always appeals.

Not on this.

That's not right.

Why...

MR. VJORKA: Anna?

You need to come with us now.

I can't.

I won't.

MRS. VJORKA: Anna.

You need to come with us.

I'm sorry.

Thank you very much.

Goodbye, Mr. Shore.

Goodbye, Anna.

What do I do with this wrongful-death research?

Put it in the file.

We may send off an opinion letter if he ever asks.

And make sure we bill him.

Well, well, well,

what have we here?

A grieving husband?

Murderer?

Devil?

All of the above?

The police just questioned me for five hours

and released me.

Yes. Well, I'm sure there was no evidence.

I'm sure the job was immaculate.

You stood beside me, Mr. Young.

You of all people know I didn't kill Mr. Spooner.

I don't know you didn't order the hit.

But I'll tell you this, standing beside you,

I had the opportunity to see your face

when your wife's killer went down.

You didn't look surprised, Mr. Gilbert.

One could almost conclude

you expected him to get shot.

Is that what you think?

Here's what I know,

you were desperate for the death penalty,

you said to me, "He deserves a bullet

right between the eyes."

Those were your exact words, Mr. Gilbert.

Quite a coincidence, don't you think?

I mean, considering where he got shot.

You never had any affair.

You sent that anonymous note to the defense counsel.

You set yourself up with the question,

then you pled the Fifth,

knowing full well your wife's killer

would be set free.

Then you had him executed,

because that's what he deserved.

Mr. Young,

I'm sure Mr. Spooner had many enemies

who wanted him dead.

After all,

we know he killed before, right?

He was only free on a technicality

because you were able to suppress

most of the evidence.

That's why you chose me.

You knew all the time I gotten him off.

I wish you well, Mr. Young.
