"When they arrived, you went up to the house and murdered them." |

"No. I was sobering up. I got back in the car and I drove home to sleep it off. Along the way, I stopped and I threw my gun into the Royal River. I feel I've been very clear on this point." |
| |
"Well, where I get hazy is where the cleaning woman shows up the following morning and finds your wife in bed with her lover, riddled with .38-caliber bullets. Now does that strike you as a fantastic coincidence, Mr. (name deleted), or is it just me?" |
| |
"Yes, it does." |
| |
"Yet you still maintain that you threw your gun into the river before the murders took place. That's very convenient." |
| |
"It's the truth." |
| |
"The police dragged that river for three days, and nary a gun was found, so there could be no comparison made between your gun and the bullets taken from the blood-stained corpses of the victims. And that also is very convenient, isn't it, Mr. (name deleted)?" |
| |
"Since I am innocent of this crime, sir, I find it decidedly inconvenient that the gun was never found." |

| |
"I told him, 'No.' I said, 'Stop, Mr. Lombardo, please.' I screamed for him to stop." |

| |
"Well, in all honesty, I don't feel that what I've done is a crime. And I think it's illogical and irresponsible for you to sentence me to prison. Because when you think about it, what did I really do? I crossed an imaginary line with a bunch of plants. I mean, you say I'm an outlaw, you say I'm a thief, but where's the Christmas dinner for the people on relief? Huh? You say you're looking for someone who's never weak, but always strong, to gather flowers constantly, whether you are right or wrong. Someone to open each and every door, but it ain't me, babe. Huh? No, no, no, it ain't me, babe. It ain't me you're looking for, babe. You follow?" |

"One thing that bothered me, the one thing that stayed in my mind and I couldn't get rid of it, that haunted me...was why? Why would she lie? What was her motive for lying? If my client is innocent, she's lying. Why? Was it blackmail? No. Was it jealousy? No. Yesterday, I found out why. She doesn't have a motive. You know why? Because she's not lying. And ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the prosecution is not gonna get that man today. No. Because I'm gonna get him! My client, the Honorable Henry T. Fleming, should go right to fucking jail! The son of a bitch is guilty!" |

| |
"Is that true?" |
| |
"It has to be." |

"Well, in that case, I better take a little break myself." |

| |
"No... Yes, he did, but --" |
| |
"Yes! Yes, he forced you. He forced you, using a threat of expulsion from Savior House and a life on the street with no heat, no water, and no food. He put you in front of a camera, he made you take off your clothes, and you don't think that that's another side, another face of a man that we all thought we knew?" |

"Son, my turn. I've been sitting here for ten minutes now, looking over this rap sheet of yours. I just can't believe it. June '93, assault. September '93, assault. Grand theft auto, February of '94, where apparently you defended yourself and had the case thrown out by citing free property rights of horse and carriage form 1798. Joke. January '95, impersonating an officer. Mayhem, theft, resisting. All overturned. I'm also aware that you've been through several foster homes. The state removed you from three because of serious physical abuse. You know, another judge might care, but you hit a cop. You're going in." |
