1:35:00
So help me God.
1:35:01
State your name.
1:35:02
Henri Young.
1:35:04
Be seated.
1:35:06
Your Honor--
1:35:07
Wait until l've asked a question!
1:35:08
-l haven't asked you yet.
-He's trying to trick me.

1:35:11
Please instruct the witness to remain silent
until l ask a question...

1:35:14
...and only answer the question l ask.
1:35:16
He's your witness.
1:35:18
He won't listen.
1:35:19
He's trying to trick me!
1:35:20
Silence, Mr. Young.
1:35:22
Here's the way it works.
Mr. Stamphill will ask you a question...

1:35:26
...and you answer that question.
1:35:28
However, Mr. Stamphill cannot coerce you
into testifying against yourself.

1:35:32
You do understand that?
1:35:33
Yeah, l just want to--
1:35:35
Did we have a conversation in which
you said you wish to change your plea--

1:35:40
You will wait until l have finished
instructing the witness.

1:35:44
lt's okay. l wanted him to ask that.
1:35:46
lt is not okay.
1:35:48
And l do not need you to tell me
what is or is not okay.

1:35:53
ln this courtroom,
l am the one who decides...

1:35:56
...what is or is not okay.
1:35:59
Okay?
1:36:00
Yes.
1:36:01
Thank you very much.
1:36:05
Counselors, approach the bench.
1:36:10
Do you mind telling me
what the hell is going on here?

1:36:13
l'm trying--
1:36:14
Your own defendant is looking to me
to protect him from you.

1:36:17
So what's going on?
1:36:18
l know it seems very strange but--
1:36:21
ln my opinion, you're an idiot to put him
on the stand for any reason.

1:36:25
You're asking him to testify
against himself.

1:36:27
lt doesn't seem to make sense,
but the prosecution isn't objecting so--

1:36:31
No, l'm not. Let him continue.
1:36:33
Shut up.
1:36:35
Enough damage has been done.
l can't make it any worse.

1:36:38
Yes, you can.
1:36:40
All right. But you're on a very short leash.
1:36:44
A very short leash.
1:36:46
l will throw you in jail
for contempt myself.

1:36:49
Now...
1:36:51
...let's get this goddamn show on the road.
1:36:56
l think you're doing a great job.
