Quotes
-
Judge Colin McNamara : Mr. Barba, I surprised to see you slumming.
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : I missed arraignment court, your Honor. Keeps me humble.
Judge Colin McNamara : I doubt that.
-
Judge Colin McNamara : Mr. Lewis, how do you plead?
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : We'd like to make an offer, Your Honor. If the defendant pleads guilty, the people will agree to time served and two days' community service.
Judge Colin McNamara : Defense, Ms... Ms...
Vanessa Mayer : Vanessa Mayer, Your Honor.
Judge Colin McNamara : Ms. Mayer, ball is in your court.
Vanessa Mayer : Yes, I think we can live with that. Let me confer with my client.
[talks with Lewis about the deal, but Lewis shakes his head]
Vanessa Mayer : I'm sorry, Your Honor. My client respectfully declines the DA's offer.
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : But that's the best he's gonna get, 24 hours served. We could waive community service.
William Lewis : I'm sorry, I can't plead guilty to something I didn't do.
Judge Colin McNamara : So you're pleading "not guilty"?
William Lewis : Yes. I'm not guilty.
Judge Colin McNamara : Very well. The case is set over for trial, pending motions.
Vanessa Mayer : We waive motions, Your Honor. We're ready to proceed to trial.
Judge Colin McNamara : People on bail?
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : Remand, Your Honor. The defendant has no ties to the community, no job. He's a flight risk.
Vanessa Mayer : Two minutes ago, you were willing to let him walk out of here.
Judge Colin McNamara : I agree. Defendant is released on his own recognizance. Case to be set over for trial. Bailiff, next case.
