:25:00
- A deaI with what?
- You got enough. Go for rape two.

:25:07
Any felony, as long as it's a violent one.
:25:09
Assault, coercion,
reckless endangerment, menacing...

:25:13
- I can't do that.
- You said she was raped.

:25:16
So make a deaI and put 'em away.
:25:18
I don't care if they onIy get six months.
Just make a deaI and put 'em away.

:25:32
Do you understand, Mr Polito, that
you'll be testifying before a grand jury?

:25:38
Yeah, I got that.
:25:39
And you'II be testifying
against peopIe you're acquainted with?

:25:43
Yeah.
:25:44
Mr Polito, have I or anyone in the
sheriff's department or the DA's office

:25:49
offered you any inducement to testify?
:25:51
Money, gifts, anything?
:25:55
- No.
- Thank you, Mr Polito.

:26:00
Well, he's just a taste.
The bar was filled with witnesses.

:26:04
We anticipate that they'II aII
testify for The PeopIe.

:26:07
Anticipate? A hundred says
you'II have to drag 'em into court.

:26:11
And they'II be useIess
cos they were too drunk.

:26:14
Whatever you say.
:26:15
Keep in mind that we don't need
corroboration to prove rape.

:26:19
And we do have medicaI evidence:
no doubt about penetration.

:26:22
And physicaI evidence:
no doubt about force.

:26:25
- What will you take?
- Rape one.

:26:28
We were thinking more
in the Iine of sexuaI abuse two.

:26:32
Rape one. Maybe I couId convince the
judge not to give them the maximum.

:26:37
I'd rather go to triaI.
:26:39
Fine.
:26:41
By the way, no separate deals.
:26:44
One goes to trial, all go to trial.
:26:48
What would you say to
sexual abuse one?

:26:51
- I'd say rape one.
- Cut the crap. PoIito Iooks Iike shit.

:26:55
You don't have anybody better.
:26:57
And your complaining witness?
:26:59
She walked into a bar,
got loaded and stoned,
