: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--
:15:01
There is no basis for this.
:15:04
We are only asking that the child
testify to clear his good name.
:15:08
We're not forcing him
to testify, not yet.
:15:12
Will he testify and put an end
to this foolishness?
:15:16
If we refuse?
:15:17
I'd have to lock him back up
till we sort this out.
:15:27
The child moves for a change of venue.
:15:30
The murder of Boyette occurred in
Louisiana. We'd like to relocate there.
:15:35
As the U.S. Attorney for eastern
Louisiana, I waive venue.
:15:39
The child declines.
:15:41
- We give the case to your jurisdiction.
- The child declines.
:15:44
That's a pretty suit.
:15:46
Drop dead.
:15:48
All right, you two.
:15:50
Just settle down.
:15:52
Nice try, but it would be
in everybody's best interests...
:15:55
...for Mark to take the stand.
:15:58
That's my ruling.
