Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Judge Stennis:
Young lady, your youth is no excuse for disturbing the sanctity of this court.
Brooke Thawley:
But this case is supposed to be about me. I'm almost 17 years old; it's not like I can't think for myself. I just don't have the right to speak.
Catherine Thawley:
Brooke, what are you doing?
Judge Stennis:
Not unless you are called as a witness, young lady.
Tom Endler:
[quietly to Grace]
If I put her on the stand, what am I gonna hear?
Grace Wesley:
That she asked a question and I answered it.
Tom Endler:
Your Honor, we'd like to call Ms. Brooke Thawley to the stand.
Pete Kane:
Objection, Your Honor! Ms. Thawley is a minor. Her parents do not want her subjected to the emotional pressure of testifying against her own teacher.
Judge Stennis:
Ms. Thawley, are you willing to testify on your own behalf?
Brooke Thawley:
Yes, Your Honor.
Judge Stennis:
And do you understand that you will have to answer all the questions truthfully, regardless of your feelings, and that failure to do so is punishable by law?
Brooke Thawley:
Yes, Your Honor. I'm not afraid of telling the truth. I'm only afraid of not being able to tell it.
