I was a prosecutor then. 1178 01:23:15,100 --> 01:23:19,890 This thing that I did, I was very upset by it, and I decided to leave. 1179 01:23:19,980 --> 01:23:23,980 So I left. I became a defending attorney. 1180 01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:27,860 The irony being that everyone assumes I'm fucking lying anyhow. 1181 01:23:28,450 --> 01:23:31,240 So I made myself this little promise that 1182 01:23:34,450 --> 01:23:38,000 I would reserve my lies for other than my public life. 1183 01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:53,840 You print any of this, I'll sue your fucking ass. 1184 01:24:20,710 --> 01:24:22,290 All right, all right, so I made a little mistake. 1185 01:24:22,370 --> 01:24:23,870 No shit. 1186 01:24:24,750 --> 01:24:28,130 What do you want?

It's Roy who is guilty. 1202 01:25:16,220 --> 01:25:18,180 This kid doesn't need a lawyer. He needs an exorcist. 1203 01:25:18,260 --> 01:25:21,520 Tom, you are so full of shit.

This kid does not deserve to die, 1206 01:25:28,150 --> 01:25:31,900 and it's our job to make sure that a jury believes he doesn't deserve to die. 1207 01:25:31,990 --> 01:25:34,280 - Okay. - Okay. How do we do it? 1208 01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:39,280 By somehow introducing this whole abuse thing. 1209 01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:47,920 - The tape. - What about the tape? 1210 01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:50,540 That's crazy.
