:29:01
- You understand me?
- Uh, yes. Fine, Judge. Fine.
:29:06
Good. You may continue.
How do your cIients pIead?
:29:09
My cIients are caught compIeteIy by surprise.
:29:13
They thought they were getting
arrested for shopIifting a can of tuna.
:29:18
What are you teIIing me?
That they pIead not guiIty?
:29:20
- No. I'm just trying to expIain.
- I don't wanna hear expIanations.
:29:25
The State of AIabama has its procedure.
:29:28
And that procedure, at this point in time, is
to have an arraignment. Are we cIear on this?
:29:33
Yes. But there seems to be
a great deaI of confusion here.
:29:37
- Mr Gambini.
- You see, my cIients...
:29:39
Uh, Mr Gambini.
:29:44
AII the way?
:29:48
AII I ask from you is a very simpIe
answer to a very simpIe question.
:29:52
There are onIy two ways to answer:
''guiIty'' or ''not guiIty''.
:29:57
But my cIients didn't do anything.
:29:59
Once again, the communication
process has broken down.
:30:05
It appears to me that you want
to skip the arraignment process,...
:30:09
..go directIy to triaI, skip that,
and get a dismissaI.
:30:13
(giggling)
:30:16
WeII, I'm not about to revamp
the entire judiciaI process...
:30:21
..just because you find yourseIf
in the unique position...
:30:25
..of defending cIients
who say they didn't do it.
:30:28
Now... the next words out of your mouth
are either gonna be ''guiIty'' or ''not guiIty''.
:30:33
I don't wanna hear commentary,
argument or opinion.
:30:37
If I hear anything other than
''guiIty'' or ''not guiIty'',...
:30:41
..you'II be in contempt.
:30:43
I don't even wanna hear you cIear your throat.
:30:48
I hope I've been cIear.
:30:50
Now... how do your cIients pIead?
:30:55
I think I get the point.
:30:58
No. I don't think you do.
