:09:01
Defense is fondling a juror.
:09:03
Sustained.
:09:04
You're not a thief.
Neither is Howard Marchek.
:09:07
Receipts come, and receipts go.
:09:09
He did what any compassionate human
would've done in a situation like this.
:09:14
He offered a fellow citizen a fair deal.
:09:17
Are we to reward that kindness
with a jail term?
:09:20
For all our sakes, I hope not.
:09:22
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
please look into your hearts...
:09:25
place yourselves in
Mr. Marchek's position...
:09:28
and return a verdict of "not guilty".
Thank you.
:09:40
Before I begin my closing remarks,
I'd like to congratulate Miss Kelly...
:09:43
on a defense which was
so entertaining and imaginative.
:09:46
I must confess,
I didn't know whether to refute it...
:09:49
or give it a round of applause.
:09:52
But we're not in a theater here.
We're in a court of law.
:09:55
And in court we have
to deal with the facts.
:09:58
The defense says this was a birthday party.
:10:02
We've all been to birthday parties.
We've had our share of birthday presents.
:10:06
But all known generosity pales
when compared to the attention...
:10:10
lavished on Mr. Marchek
by his adoring relatives.
:10:14
This must have been some birthday party.
:10:17
Detectives said they found TV sets,
stereos, microwaves, typewriters.
:10:22
Not the kind of variety you find at Sears...
:10:24
but definitely selling
at much better prices.
:10:27
What about the Obitser arraignment?
:10:29
- I'll set the date.
- Mr. Logan.
:10:34
Twenty-seven relatives, birthday presents.
Were you serious?
:10:37
lt was all I had.
lt was the best possible defense.
:10:39
lt should've never gone to court.
You should have pleaded guilty.
:10:42
Think of it this way: every person,
guilty or innocent, deserves a defense.
:10:46
- It's in the Constitution.
- Why are you following me?
:10:49
I'd like you to talk to my client,
Chelsea Deardon.
:10:52
Chelsea Deardon.
I plan to talk to her, in court.
:10:54
I'm not talking about court.
:10:56
There are special circumstances
in the case. I'd like to brief you...
