:48:02
and there is no legal argument
that you could make...
:48:06
which would allow me
to consider it.
:48:09
Therefore, you have
two choices before you..
:48:13
I can send this case
back to the state court...
:48:16
and you can present
the evidence;
:48:19
or...
:48:22
if you insist on proceeding,
:48:26
this evidence
will be lost to you forever.
:48:30
[ Spectators Murmuring ]
:48:34
You understandthe choice
before you, Mr. Beldock ?
:48:46
Your Honor,
may I request a moment
to confer with my client ?
:48:50
That's the smartest thing
you've said all morning,
Counselor.
:49:02
Rubin,
listen to me.
:49:04
This judge is telling us
as clearly as he possibly can...
:49:06
that he's going
to rule against you.
:49:09
This is our last stand,
Myron.
Rubin, I am begging you--
:49:12
Let's proceed.
:49:18
[ Whispering ]
:49:24
Your Honor,
:49:26
my client wishes to continue
with this proceeding.
:49:31
Uh, do you do so formally,
:49:33
and, uh, are you aware
of the significance...
:49:37
of such an action ?
:49:39
We do so formally.
:49:49
Proceed.
:49:50
But, Your Honor--
:49:52
Yes ?
The State is not prepared to
argue the merits of this case.
:49:56
Why not ?
