"..or otherwise attempts to persuade
another person to commit a felony."
:42:50
Please.
I know about criminal solicitation.
:42:53
But in this case it simply doesn't apply.
It's not the intent of the statute.
:42:57
Listen again. "A person is guilty
of criminal solicitation
:43:02
if he commands, induces, entreats
:43:04
or otherwise attempts to persuade
another person to commit a felony."
:43:08
You can read it to me
till you're blue in the face.
:43:11
I am not gonna Iet you prosecute
a bunch of spectators.
:43:14
They're not spectators.
They solicited the rape.
:43:17
Do you really want to ask a jury
:43:19
to Iock up a bunch of peopIe
for cIapping and cheering?
:43:22
Clapping, cheering, pushing, goading.
:43:25
Getting the rape going
and keeping it going.
:43:27
What happens if you Iose?
You'II Iook Iike an incompetent.
:43:31
If you win,
you'II Iook Iike a vengefuI bitch.
:43:34
Either way,
you hurt yourself and this office.
:43:36
Now drop it.
You've got more important things to do.
:43:39
No, I haven't.
:43:40
You haven't got more important things
to do than go to triaI with a sure Ioser?
:43:44
What the hell has gotten into you?
:43:46
- We owe her.
- Owe her what?
:43:49
We put the rapists away.
:43:54
I owe her.
:43:56
I see. You want to spend my money
to put a bunch of spectators on triaI -
