: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,
:27:02
and did everything but yank their dicks.
No jury'II buy her.
:27:05
What would you say to rape two,
with a recommendation for one year?
:27:11
I'd say go to heII.
:27:14
Miss Murphy, are you sure you're
in a position to be quite so adamant?
:27:19
- A rape triaI...
- Is aIways a gambIe. I agree, Mr HenIey.
:27:22
And I know your reputation.
But Iook at these photographs.
:27:26
This is what the jury is going to see.
And they'II see the girI, too.
:27:29
You can't tell from these, but she's tiny.
:27:32
The most defenceless-looking thing
you ever saw.
:27:34
If we go to triaI and you Iose, I'm gonna
ask for 15 to 25- and I'II get it.
:27:40
- 18 months.
- Stop dancing.
:27:43
What's your best offer?
:27:46
Two to five, rape two.
:27:49
With Iuck,
your boys wiII be out in nine months.
:27:52
On one condition.
:27:54
I'II accept that on behaIf of my cIient
:27:56
if the formaI charge is changed
to one without a sexuaI eIement.
