He's...

He's a runt. Amost twenty-three.

And he's an anima.

Supposed to have some kind of a...

pre-tria, a hearing, tomorrow...

and they want me to go make a statement.

You want to go with me?

Put that anima in jai.

That's what the cops caed him.

Anima.

You're going to take that off?

The schoo said

at the next game.

The team wanted to do something.

That's nice of them.

He woud have been paying.

Ti my body is dust.

F the judge asks you,

That's worth more than chasing some

make-beieve 10 to ife

and the guy waks free.

You want that?

He kied my son.

Mr. Hume. 've got one eyewitness. You.

That's nice.

But do you know how many cases

without a working surveiance camera.

We've just got your word.

That's not bad,

if can scare the guy into a dea.

You're using my son's death

ike some kind of card trick.

Look, get a banger off the street

somebody does my job for me...

he doesn't get out of there aive.

Fine with me.

He finds Jesus. Fine with me.

But we get reigion and go to trai,

as much as 'd ove to...

and the defense starts working on.

"When was your ast eye exam?"

"What do you have

against inner city youth?"

And how unfair it is for them

to grow up so vioent...

how they're forced into initiation kiings

or face execution themseves.

You want ajury feeing sorry

You ki someone at random

to get made in a gang.

T's the price of admission.
