Something wrong with the clip?

Nick Rice:
[In court]
in light of Mr. Shelton's economic means and his potential flight risk, the egregious nature of both Mr. Darby's and Mr. Ames's deaths, the states that bail be denied, Your Honor
Judge Laura Burch:
Seeing how you've waived your right to counsel Mr. Shelton, do you have anything to say?
Clyde Shelton:
Yes I do, should I stand?
Judge Laura Burch:
[from the judge's bench]
Please.
Clyde Shelton:
[to the judge]
I'm a "law abiding citizen." I'm just a "regular guy." I am not a flight risk. This is my first alleged offense. The prosecution has not presented one single piece of evidence against me under these circumstances. Unless the state has obtained some new piece of information relating to my involvement in the matter in question, I find it highly prejudicial, even constitutionally offensive to keep me detained without bail. It's a slippery slope haven't we've seen the result of such violations before? Both internationally and domestically?
Judge Laura Burch:
I'm actually inclined to agree with you, Mr. Shelton.

Always. I'm extra-good.
In light of Mr. Shelton's economic means
and his potential flight risk,
the egregious nature of both Mr. Ames'
and Mr. Darby's deaths,
the state requests that bail be denied,
Your Honor.
Seeing as how you've waived
your right to counsel, Mr. Shelton,
do you have anything to say?
Mr. Shelton?
Do you have anything
that you'd like to say?
Yes, yes, yes, Your Honor.
Should I stand?
Please.
Your Honor, I'm a law-abiding citizen.
I'm just a regular guy.
I am not a flight risk.
And this is my first alleged offense,
and the prosecution has not presented
one single piece of evidence against me.
Now, in these circumstances,
unless the state has obtained
some new piece of information
relating to my involvement
in the matter in question,
then I find it highly prejudicial,
even constitutionally offensive,
to keep me detained without bail.
It's a slippery slope, Your Honor.
Haven't we seen the result
of such violations,
both internationally and domestically?
Case in point would be Day v. McDonagh,
docket number 041325.
I am actually inclined to agree with you,
Mr. Shelton.
Your Honor, Mr. Shelton has agreed
to give us a full confession.
Has he given it, Mr. Rice?
No, Your Honor.
Well, then, in my opinion,
the state has failed to establish
a compelling basis for its motion,
and I will grant bail
in the amount of--
Your Honor, I would caution you
not to do that.
Thank you.
Excuse me?
No, I don't think I will excuse you.
You see, this is
what I'm talking about.
You were about to let me go.
Are you kidding me?
This is why we're here
in the first place.
You think I don't remember
who you are, lady?
I would tread carefully,
Mr. Shelton.
Well, how carefully should I tread?
Because apparently,
I just killed two people,
and you were about to let me
walk right out that door.
How misguided are you?
I feed you a couple
of bullshit legal precedents,
and there you go-You jump on it
like a bitch in heat.
You all hang out in the same little club.
I'm warning you, Mr. Shelton, you will be
held in contempt of this court.
And every day, you let madmen
and murderers back on the street.
You're too busy treating the law
like it's a fucking assembly line.
