neighbourhood.
- He thinks you ought to see this guy.
- What does this say? Reisler?
Reisler. Yeah, Reisler.
She's a little constipated.
She's got that look on her face.
You saw somebody go into Leah's house
on the night of the attack?
Can you describe that person?
I'd say he was a young fella.
Small build, about 5'6, 5'7.
- Cherry?
- No, thanks.
A small fella, huh?
Could you identify him
if you saw him?
No, it was too dark. Too far.
You knew about the publicity
this case is getting?
Newspapers about Judge Fleming?
Then how come you didn't
report this to the police?
I went to the police. I told them
I had information for them -
- and they told me to wait.
I waited one, two, three hours.
I finally turned around
and went home.
I couldn't spend
the whole night there.
Do you know Leah Shephard?
Oh, you know,
to wave to her and say hello.
Would you testify
to what you just said in court?
I guess I would, if I had to.
But I really don't wanna
get involved.
Then what happened?
I told him to move on, but he used
profanity and refused to leave.
What sort of profanity?
You know, the normal kind.
We've all heard these words before.
What did he say?
He used "fuck" a lot.
And "Piss on you".
And said he was going to
"bunghole" the short-order chef.
He was going to "cream" on
the waitress. Stuff like that.
There's a very good reason
for all that, Your Honour.
What is that?
I'm a diabetic.
I don't get it. I've never heard of
diabetes causing foul language.
That's because you're a douche bag.
Make sure this man gets
a psychiatric evaluation.
I will withhold a verdict
pending a medical report.
Day in, day out, same goddamn thing.
These people belong in a mental home.
That judge is slower than
the six-o'clock news.
- What can you do for me?
- A year.
Are you kidding? I thought it was
bargain day. He'll buy six months.
All right. What else have you got?
Fenwick.
- Eighteen months.
- Eighteen months?
You tell him. He's crazy.
He'll snap your neck.
Tell him a year,
but the offer's only good for today.
Frank, come on...
He's got beady eyes.
He's a maniac.
He bit off two of his cellmate's
fingers. I can't tell him a year.
It's the best I can do.
I'm not in a good mood.
- Frank?
- Here I am.
- Is that it?
- Yeah.
I'll get back to you on Fenwick.
- I have to talk to you.
- I've got a case coming up.
Then what happened, Mr Saltzman?
This punk kept pulling my wife's purse
and she wouldn't let go.
So I tried to get him off.
He pushes me aside
and knocks my wife into a wall.
You want the good news first?
- Shoot.
- Fleming passed the polygraph.
And I have an eyewitness.
We will call the defendant
Robert Avillar to the stand.
And as for your star witness,
Leah Shephard...
We know about her credibility.
You want me to throw the whole
Fleming thing out the window?
I've got you by the balls.
He's innocent.
If the DA drops the case,
everybody will scream political deal.
The old lady kept hanging on.
She lets go of the purse, I'm gone.
But she kept hanging on.
I didn't mean any harm.
You're gonna come out of this
looking like a jerk.
Maybe.
But let me tell you something.
If this was a run-of-the-mill killing,
maybe we could deal.
This is not. This is too hot.
It's the silver ring.
Any questions from the State?
- What the hell are you doing?
- This is a dream come true.
Don't spoil it. When I get Fleming
down I'm gonna crucify him!
My client has no criminal record.
He just wanted to take her money.
It's the Super Bowl, Art.
And I'm the quarterback.
With three seconds to go, I drop back
to pass and there's a touchdown.
Fleming's carried out on a stretcher.
It's that big.
I find you guilty.
But I'm not going to jail you.
I'm placing you
on probation for one year.
One year probation?
What kind of punishment is that?
People are really pissed off at the law.
I'll turn that to my advantage.
You're representing
the sacrificial
