Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Anybody know the whereabouts of our Mr. Morales?
Gwen Taylor : He had a pro bono arraignment this morning.
Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Then let's begin. First, People vs. Emory Lewis and Gary Stubbs. I should hope those animals who beat you will finally get convicted.
Stuart Markowitz : Unfortunately, the eyewitness backed out. She's afraid of reprisals from neighborhood kids if she testifies.
Ann Kelsey : That shouldn't affect our case. Stuart was really convincing at the prelim. He'll do even better at trial tomorrow.
Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Next, Marciante vs. Bernheimer Memorial Hospital.
Jonathan Rollins : That's mine. Anthony Marciante's girlfriend is brain dead after an automobile accident. She's also 18 weeks pregnant.
Gwen Taylor : And being used as an incubator to bring the baby to term. I caught the story on the news. That's grotesque.
Jonathan Rollins : We're seeking a court order to keep her body functioning long enough to deliver the baby. However, the girlfriend's mother wants to pull the plug and bury her daughter.
Arnie Becker : I agree. The woman's dead, for God's sake.
Jonathan Rollins : Arnie, we're talking about a potential human life. Mr. Marciante wants to be a father.
Gwen Taylor : He should have thought about that before driving himself and his girlfriend off the road, drunk.
Ann Kelsey : He killed her and now he wants to...
Jonathan Rollins : It was an accident.
Stuart Markowitz : He's still has rights.
Arnie Becker : So had the girl's mother.
Melina Paros : What about the baby?
Leland McKenzie : All right, folks. We're all on the same team.
[But Daniel Morales has arrived late in the meeting]
Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Mr. Morales. Honored that you can join us. How was the arraignment?
Daniel Morales : Um, People vs. Alejandro Cruz. He's charged with shooting a news vendor who refuse to pay protection money?
Leland McKenzie : Any extenuating circumstances, Daniel?
Daniel Morales : No, Leland, not really. I'm trying to have Cruz tried in Juvenile Court, but right now, that's looking doubtful.
Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Well, if there's no other business, we're adjourned.

Daniel Morales : Melina, I need your advise.
Melina Paros : What is it?
[Daniel sighs]
Daniel Morales : I can't talk here. And actually, I should speak first with my client.
Melina Paros : Cruz?
Daniel Morales : Yeah, I might be in trouble on this one. I'll catch you later.
Melina Paros : All right.

Judge Harry Martin : Next case.
Clerk : Case number 47652. People vs. Crawford.
[Daniel Morales has arrived in court]
Daniel Morales : How are you doing? I spoke with the arresting officer. Police said the shooter was driving your car wearing a jacket.
Alejandro Cruz (as Jimmy Medina) : Told him I didn't do it. Just give me back the jewelry.
Daniel Morales : That's not happening. The D.A. is cracking down on gang killings. Wants you tried as an adult.
Alejandro Cruz (as Jimmy Medina) : Look, man, you just do your thing, and I'll do mine. Everything will be cool, eh?
Clerk : Case number 47653. People vs. Alejandro Cruz.
Judge Harry Martin : Next round, counselor.
Daniel Morales : Ready, Your Honor. Stand up.
Alejandro Cruz (as Jimmy Medina) : He's not standing.
Daniel Morales : Stand up.
Judge Harry Martin : Your client has some sort of disability, Mr. Morales?
Daniel Morales : One moment, Your Honor.
[Talking with his client]
Daniel Morales : This is my turf, these are my rules. Get your ass off that bench. Otherwise this judge will send you away for life.
Judge Harry Martin : Mr. Morales, I'm waiting.
[Mr. Cruz gets up]
