Suspect Page #7

Is Kathleen Riley there?

She's gone over to the courthouse.

Could I take a message?

Would you?

Never mind, thank you.

Kathleen!

It's all right.

All rise.

The court is now in session.

The honorable

Judge Matthew Bishop Helms presiding.

Please be seated.

The court calls forward the matter of

United States vs Carl Wayne Anderson.

We were gonna begin re-direct.

The defense has no re-direct.

- Mr. Gray?

- Defense called me to appear.

- I wasn't aware of any subpoena.

- I've come on my own volition.

To hear charges.

We thank the Deputy Attorney General

for his compliance.

Miss Riley, approach the bench.

Why wasn't I informed?

Defense has the prerogative

to call vital witnesses.

- Don't lecture me on the law.

- I'm sorry.

Do you have any other witnesses?

You may call your first witness.

Your Honor,

we call Your Honor to the stand.

I can't be called to the stand.

- You have knowledge vital to our case.

- Approach the bench.

- I will have you compelled to testify.

- I will find you in contempt of court.

- I cannot be compelled.

- You are not above the law!

If you persist in this,

I will call a mistrial.

Were you the federal prosecutor on

the United States vs Cook trial?

This trial is a mistrial.

And did you conspire with

District Court Judge Lowell -

- to dismiss that case

in exchange for his promotion -

- and your appointment

to the seat you now hold?

Did you wait 17 years -

- while lesser men got

appointments to a higher court?

And, when an appointment

to Circuit Court finally came,-

- did your past come to haunt you

and did you strike it down and kill it?

Did you murder Elizabeth Rose Quinn

when she approached you with your past?

Remove Miss Riley from this court!

Miss Riley, you are in contempt!

I'll have you disbarred!

Remove Miss Riley!

Was your car,

license number 6F9587,-

- in the parking lot on K Street

on the night of December 18th?

And when Elizabeth Quinn arrived

at her car, did you beat her, -

- drag her down to the river

and savagely cut her throat?

I have filed charges with the police -

- for the arrest of Matthew Bishop Helms

for murder in the first degree.

- Congratulations, Kathleen.

- Thanks.

All of a sudden

I have nothing to do.

I have to be in court in an hour.

A guy on the jury was a jeweler.

I had him check out that cufflink.

It turned out to be gold-plated.

Just garbage.

- I told you so.

- I thought you would say that.

- What can we do for an hour?

- Leave the door open.

Let's go.
