:18:00
- Sam, you defended this guy, right?
- Right.

:18:03
What makes you think
he wants to harm you?

:18:06
Yesterday I was getting
in my car.

:18:08
The guy comes up.
We have a conversation.

:18:10
He says to me,
"You're gonna learn about loss".

:18:14
That'd hardly qualify
under the terrorist threat statutes.

:18:18
Tom, for Christ's sake,
the guy's an ex-con.

:18:21
You know as well as I do
what that means.

:18:24
Last night, there he was
behind our house.

:18:27
Attempted B and E.
:18:29
No, not exactly.
:18:30
He was sitting on a wall
that bounds our property.

:18:34
That's not even trespassing, Sam.
:18:37
Come on. What can I say?
Get a restraining order.

:18:40
I filed one this morning.
The hearing's in ten days.

:18:43
Good. Anything I can do...
:18:47
Tom, 14 years ago...
:18:50
in this case...
:18:52
I had a report on the victim.
:18:54
- It was a rape case.
- That's right.

:18:56
Rape and aggravated sexual battery.
:18:58
Anyway, I had a report
on this victim...

:19:01
and it came back
that she was promiscuous.

:19:05
And...
:19:07
I buried it.
:19:14
- Anybody else know about this?
- No, I buried it.

:19:16
I didn't show it to the client
or the prosecution.

:19:20
But if you had seen
what this guy had done to this girl...

:19:23
"In every criminal prosecution,
the accused shall have...

:19:26
the assistance of counsel
for his defense."

:19:28
I know the Sixth Amendment.
I believe in the Sixth Amendment.

:19:31
That's why I left
the public defender's office.

:19:33
There was no way to serve the law
in that capacity.

:19:36
Some folks just don't have
the right to the best defense?

:19:38
Of course they deserve
the best defense!

:19:41
But if you had seen
what he did to this girl...

:19:43
- Buried the report.
- If it was your own daughter...

:19:46
- Yeah, I mean...
- Buried the report.

:19:49
Jesus, Sam.
:19:52
Oh, God.
:19:58
But I don't see how he could know that.
He was illiterate.
