Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Martin Vail:
[to Shaughnessy in court]
It's confusing to me because I have document here from your office that says last year Michael O'Donnell spoke to the supervisor of that unit over a period of two weeks explaining to him - in graphic detail - of the sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of Archbishop Rushman. Isn't it also true, Mr. State's attorney, that your "friend" Archbishop Rushman was not going to stand trial for any of it? He owed you big time. You must've been very pissed off when he pulled out of the South River construction deal. What happened? He finally said "I can't take it anymore" and you said "no". You and your investors had sixty millions reasons to kill him!
Janet Venable:
Objection!
Judge Miriam Shoat:
Sustained! You're out of order, Mr. Vail!
Martin Vail:
[whispering under his breath]
Just like what you and your "associates" did in killing Joey Pinero just yesterday!
John Shaughnessy:
[whispering to Vail]
You son of a bitch!

Then you're way ahead
of the game already, aren't you?
Don't smile.
Don't.
- Mr Vail, can we have a statement?
- We're gonna find out what happened.
The only pressure is to find the truth.
You've talked to the police. I told you
not to. They get everýthing wrong.
How will you explain
his blood-soaked clothes?
I won't explain anything now.
I've just been retained in this case.
Significant facts are in dispute here
and continue to be so.
You're a master at putting the victim
on trial to help your client.
That'll be very difficult in this case.
The victim in this case is my client.
We have two victims here,
no suspects. Thank you.
- You worried about his safety?
- No. Thank you.
I don't think there's any question
about the verdict.
All rise.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
Bailiff.
The State versus Aaron Stampler.
- Is every... Sit down. Everyone here?
- Yes, Your Honour.
Madame Prosecutor.
The State charges Aaron Stampler
with murder in the first degree.
How does your client plead?
If it pleases the Court,
I need time to make
a psychiatric evaluation before
charges are brought against us.
The State has enough evidence
to warrant the allegations.
I agree. Motion denied.
Mr Stampler.
- Do you understand the charges?
- Yes.
I direct my client not to answer that.
His response might incriminate him.
He is taking the Fifth on whether
or not he understands the charges?
Yes. Until we have a complete
psychological evaluation,
he will be taking the Fifth on any
and all questions posed to him.
The State versus Appleby.
For your review on precedent.
Thank you.

Summary: An arrogant, high-powered attorney takes on the case of a poor altar boy found running away from the scene of the grisly murder of the bishop who has taken him in. The case gets a lot more complex when the accused reveals that there may or may not have been a third person in the room.
