:13:01
It's the position of the petitioners--
:13:04
Your position...
:13:05
...is in that chair.
:13:07
Please sit.
:13:08
Listen carefully, I'll say this once.
:13:11
As for you, Mr. Foltrigg...
:13:13
...this isn't New Orleans
and I'm not one of your federal judges.
:13:17
This is my private courtroom
and I make the rules.
:13:20
Rule one: You will speak
only when spoken to.
:13:24
Rule two: Do not grace His Honor
with unsolicited commentary.
:13:29
Rule three: His Honor doesn't like
to listen to U.S. Attorneys...
:13:33
...who love to hear themselves speak.
:13:35
Do you understand?
:13:40
Is Fink to handle the case
for the prosecution?
:13:42
Yes, if it pleases the court, sir.
:13:44
I'll allow it, but try
and keep his butt in that seat.
:13:48
The court will act in loco parentis.
:13:51
I'll watch out for the child's interests
in this hearing, Ms. Love. Proceed.
:13:57
The child moves to dismiss.
The allegations are without merit.
:14:00
The petition was filed to explore
what the child might know.
:14:04
Quit calling me "the child."
:14:06
Quiet.
:14:07
Proceed.
:14:09
Mr. Foltrigg and Mr. Fink...
:14:11
...are using this hearing
as a fishing expedition.
:14:14
Their supposition that the...
my client...
:14:18
...had any legally significant
conversation with Mr. Clifford...
:14:21
...is based on circumstantial evidence.
:14:24
The petition should be dismissed.
:14:26
Your Honor?
:14:27
- If I may?
- You may.
:14:28
The child is the last person
to see Jerome Clifford alive.
:14:32
We have established
he willfully deceived us.
:14:35
Fingerprints on a Cadillac
is hardly willful deceit.
:14:38
We can show the child's fingerprints on
the suicide hose and on the gun itself.
:14:43
We feel the child must testify
in order to exonerate himself.
:14:48
Are you attempting to implicate
this child in Clifford's suicide?
:14:52
No, we are alleging only
obstruction of justice.
:14:55
Involvement in a suicide
could constitute juvenile delinquency.
:14:59
He'd be taken from his mother--
