00:00Bio Green, on paper, is owned by two individuals, Spencer Bagwell and Janine Ferricno.
00:12Question is, can we connect either of them to Alex Gazarian?
00:16Janine Ferricno was an aspiring thespian in high school.
00:20They grew up together.
00:21So what's it got to do with Sam?
00:22We introduced Gazarian to Sam.
00:24We used Sam to plant that subpoena on him at the art gallery.
00:26We have a warrant to search the premises, filling records and financial statements.
00:30The warrant includes your offices and the storage facility as well.
00:34Why are you going after Mickey like this?
00:36I think he's embarrassed your office again and again and you finally see a chance for payback.
00:39The victim was found in the trunk of his car, Maggie.
00:42I thought you said he was getting a speedy trial.
00:44I said that he didn't waive his right to a speedy trial.
00:47All that means is they can't delay it.
00:49Bamba, what the hell happened?
00:50Some cop gave me a hassle because I parked her foot into the red zone.
00:53I think Dana Berg is dropping the charges and filing a new indictment for murder with special circumstances.
00:59I've been a lawyer for like five minutes and if I fuck this up, Mickey goes away for life.
01:16Maggie McPherson for the defense, your honor.
01:18Mr. McPherson, this is highly unusual.
01:23Everything about this case is highly unusual, your honor.
01:26And am I to take it that this change is permanent for the duration of the trial?
01:29Yes.
01:30Uh, your honor, can I have five minutes to discuss this with my co-camp, with Ms. McPherson?
01:35Mr. Holler.
01:36I wouldn't ask unless it was urgent, your honor.
01:39Please?
01:39Please?
01:41Very well.
01:48What's going on?
01:56Where's Lorna?
01:57She was drowning, Mickey.
01:59Between this case and keeping the firm afloat, it was just too much.
02:02She can't handle it, Maggie.
02:03Not all of it.
02:05She didn't want to let you down, but she was so scared of fucking up.
02:09No.
02:10This is a bad idea, Maggie.
02:12Look around you.
02:13How many deputies do you usually see standing outside a courtroom for a bail hearing?
02:19How many reporters usually cover it?
02:21Berg is gunning for you, and the whole world is watching.
02:25If this hearing goes south, you could be in jail today.
02:29You need help.
02:30Mick, let me help you.
02:32This could blow up your reputation.
02:34Hey.
02:35Maybe your whole career.
02:37I can't let you do this.
02:38I'm already doing it.
02:41Listen to me.
02:42Hey.
02:45Haley can't lose you.
02:48You understand?
02:51And neither can I.
02:55Look at the upside.
02:57The first time you were arrested, you couldn't get a word in before they put you in the cell.
03:02This time we can.
03:04You have a shot here, Mickey.
03:07Warlock.
03:09Hail Mary.
03:09Thank you, Maggie.
03:18Thank you, Maggie.
03:24It's time.
03:25You ready?
03:26Miss Berg, I understand the people have obtained a superseding indictment?
03:47That is correct, Your Honor.
03:50The previous charges have been dismissed.
03:53And the grand jury has returned a new charge.
03:57First degree murder with the special circumstance of murder for financial gain.
04:01Does the defense waive a formal reading of the indictment?
04:04Yes, Your Honor.
04:05And how does the defendant plead?
04:10Not guilty.
04:12Very well.
04:13With a new charge, the issue of the 60-day speedy trial clock will have to be revisited.
04:18We have a motion prepared to address that, Your Honor.
04:20Before we get to that, Your Honor, there is the issue of the defendant's bail.
04:25Which the court already ruled on.
04:27That was for a previous charge.
04:29But a special circumstances allegation creates a no-bail offense, as the court is aware there is a presumption in the law.
04:36Yes, the court is well aware of the law and its presumptions, Miss Berg.
04:40The court does not look fondly on the people's efforts to maneuver around its previous determination.
04:45I assume the defense would like to be heard on this issue.
04:48Yes, Your Honor.
04:49The defense strongly contests the special circumstances allegation.
04:53This is no more than a naked ploy by the people to deprive Mr. Holler of his ability to effectively prepare his defense.
05:00The facts of the case haven't changed.
05:02Mr. Holler isn't suddenly a greater flight risk.
05:04And frankly, the underlying allegation that Mr. Holler would somehow profit from the victim's death isn't just speculative.
05:11It's completely unfounded without any evidence whatsoever to support it.
05:15Your Honor, the grand jury's indictment eliminates the need for any additional evidence or a preliminary hearing to bolster the charge.
05:23The law is very clear on this.
05:25The allegation of murder for financial gain requires that the defendant be denied bail and go into custody immediately.
05:32Where he will face constant threats from other inmates and serious risk to his health.
05:37Every minute behind bars endangers not only his case, but his safety.
05:41So defense is suggesting that all pro se defendants in custody are impermissibly disadvantaged?
05:47No, the defense is stating that this defendant will be impermissibly disadvantaged.
05:51Miss Berg is well aware that the sheriff's department violated Mr. Holler's rights by eavesdropping on his privileged communications.
05:58And he caught them in the act.
06:00That means he not only has to fear for his safety from other prisoners, but he has every reason to fear retaliation from the guards if he's sent back to prison.
06:09The rules warrant an exception here to avoid a miscarriage of justice.
06:12I'm sorry.
06:13I thought the law applied to everyone.
06:15Is Miss McPherson suggesting that Mr. Holler is above it?
06:19Miss Berg?
06:20The law is being manipulated to fit Miss Berg's agenda and unfairly impede Mr. Holler's.
06:25Counsel.
06:25The only one with an agenda here is you.
06:29You are betraying everything you used to stand for, Maggie.
06:31I am not the one throwing around baseless charges to save a little face and prop up a sinking case.
06:36Enough, both of you.
06:38You will only address the court, not each other.
06:41Is that understood?
06:41Yes, Your Honor.
06:49Miss Berg, I understand very well the dictates of the law.
06:54The law also provides this court the power of discretion to ensure that justice is administered fairly.
06:59So while you are technically correct that the people are under no obligation to provide additional evidence in support of the charge,
07:06I am telling you that without it I will be forced to exercise that discretion
07:10and make a ruling on bail in an evidentiary vacuum.
07:15So, it's your call.
07:17A moment, please, Your Honor.
07:26Good.
07:26Now she's going to put up or shut up.
07:40Your Honor, I can have Detective Kent Drucker here to testify in two hours.
07:45You have one, Miss Berg.
07:48Best tell him to hurry.
08:03Lorna, did Mickey call?
08:04Any news?
08:05Not yet.
08:06I am losing it here.
08:08Oh, hello.
08:10Hi.
08:12Is this Grace?
08:13Grace, this is Lorna L.
08:15Well, this is Grace, my...
08:16Uh, we actually haven't had the whole official conversation yet.
08:21It's nice to meet you.
08:23The pleasure is all mine.
08:25And I would love to say that I have heard so much about you, but actually I have not.
08:30Because up until recently, I haven't heard anything about you at all.
08:34It's been a whirlwind.
08:36Grace took the day off to help me go through the security video from the night Mickey got arrested.
08:40Digital forensics is literally my job.
08:42Oh, I thought you couldn't find any video from that block.
08:45I widened out the search area and a couple buildings down the street finally came through.
08:48I'm not holding my breath, though.
08:49It's too far away to see much.
08:51What about you?
08:51Were you going down to court to watch the hearing?
08:53I wish I could, but Mickey asked me to handle Bamba's case and his arraignment is today.
08:59I just got this file from the DA's office and I have no ideas.
09:02Yes, Bamba is Mickey's old driver.
09:04And his old cellmate.
09:06He violated his probation again?
09:07Yes, his PO found a photo on Insta.
09:10He's hanging with his old crip crew.
09:11Yeah, probation officers are scouring social media for that stuff.
09:14Our caseload's, like, tripled because of it.
09:16Well, I have to drill into this, so...
09:19Hello?
09:20Anyone here?
09:22Oh, uh, legal.
09:24Yeah, one second.
09:25Not a word about Mickey's hearing or the fact that he might go back to jail today.
09:28Legal doesn't know.
09:29I should probably hide that.
09:31I'm like a terrible liar.
09:33I will go make some coffee.
09:36I know you were wondering, but I approve.
09:42Legal, what are you doing here?
09:44The assisted hellhole I'm in had a field trip to the Broad.
09:49Well, that's nice.
09:50I've been there before.
09:51I only came so I could jump in a cab so I could see Mickey.
09:55Is he here?
09:58Um...
09:58He's with Maggie.
10:02Yeah, she's in town.
10:03Well, good for him, I guess.
10:07I was hoping he'd get an early lunch with me at Langer's.
10:11Are you sure that a giant pastrami sandwich is good for you?
10:15Don't start with me.
10:17Let me tell you, no matter what, you end up in the same place.
10:22Might as well enjoy yourself along the way.
10:26Hmm.
10:27You know what?
10:29I will eat with you.
10:30You will?
10:31As long as you lay some of your wisdom on me.
10:33I have a case I have no idea what to do with.
10:36The unwinnable is my specialty.
10:39But we better hurry.
10:41A number 19 with Russian dressing waits for no one.

15:18maggie didn't just happen to be here
15:20i asked her to step in as co-counsel
15:23i just i felt like he needed the big guns
15:26mcferist on the defense
15:28oh kid that was a great call
15:31she'll know what the prosecutor's gonna do before she does it
15:35this thing will be over in no time
15:37i hope so
15:40now then detective
15:43let's talk about the records that you've searched at mr holler's storage facility
15:47what exactly were you looking for there
15:50well these were non-privileged files relating to the business of mr holler's law practice
15:55i see and were there any files relating to the victim in this case sam scales
16:00yes there were several because mr holler had represented mr scales in a number of different matters
16:05and when you searched those files did you find anything relevant to your investigation of this murder
16:10yes we did there were copies of bounced checks and voided transfers from mr scales to mr holler
16:17indicating that he had evaded payment for his legal fees repeatedly
16:21and there was also a letter from mr holler addressed to mr scales
16:25marking this letter as people's exhibit one your honor
16:30you know anything about this
16:33detective
16:35could you please read this letter aloud for the court
16:40objection the letter is hearsay
16:41it's a statement against interest your honor
16:44and it also falls under the business records exception
16:47for the purposes of this hearing i'll allow it
16:51go ahead detective
16:52dear sam
16:54this will be the last correspondence you will receive from me
16:57you will have to find yourself a new attorney moving forward
17:00if you do not pay the accrued legal fees agreed to during our last meeting with interest
17:05from my prior representation of you i know that you keep a legal fund to pay your attorney's fees
17:10and i expect to be paid out of that fund immediately
17:13otherwise i will have no choice but to take serious further action using any means at my disposal
17:19this is your final warning sincerely j michael holler esquire
17:24take serious further action using any means at my disposal
17:30how did you interpret that threat detective objection your honor
17:35sustained miss berg
17:37miss berg withdrawn
17:38now you know what it's like to sit in my chair
17:44detective when was this letter dated june 9th
17:48and when was mr scales killed about three months later on september 16th
17:54oh final warning indeed no further questions
17:59maggie look i've never even seen this letter before
18:03i easy wrote it it's a standard form letter to a deadbeat client
18:06that's all
18:07detective you just told the court that that letter was sent from my client to sam scales
18:15did you not
18:16i just read the letter that's all
18:19but that wasn't exactly correct was it
18:22you read sincerely j michael holler but doesn't it have the letters pp before mr holler's name
18:29yes it does say that
18:31and do you know what those letters pp stand for detective
18:34i believe that it's latin for per pro something
18:38per procurationum and what does that mean
18:42i'm not sure of an exact translation
18:44it means by proxy doesn't it
18:48objection counsel is testifying
18:51your honor i'm simply trying to get the witness to admit what he clearly does not wish to admit
18:55overruled
18:57the witness is directed to answer
18:59detective
19:01yes i think that's right it means by proxy or something like that
19:06and does the letter actually have a signature on it
19:10no
19:11so the letter was sent under my client's name but he didn't actually sign it correct
19:16correct but that doesn't do you have any evidence that my client was even aware of this letter
19:21it was in his files
19:23move to strike is non-responsive
19:25detective
19:27no i don't have a recording of him dictating the letter if that's what you mean
19:32do you have any evidence that the letter was even delivered or sent to mr scales
19:37no i don't but if the letter was never sent how would mr holler ever get paid
19:42i'll ask the questions detective any evidence that mr scales ever received the letter again
19:46no but that is not the point of the letter oh well then what is it establishes that mr scales had a
19:55fund to pay his lawyers and that mr holler was aware of it so mr holler was simply asking to be
20:02paid for his legal services and that makes him a murderer it establishes a motive to kill
20:08you never received a bill before objection argumentative
20:13withdrawn detective drucker do you have any evidence showing how much money was in this alleged
20:20fund no any evidence the fund even existed no if the fund did exist do you have any evidence to
20:27prove mr holler knew where this mystery fund was or how to access it no not specifically no detective if
20:33you can't prove that mr holler knew where sam scales kept the legal fund or if it even existed
20:38then how can you claim he killed sam scales for money objection your honor these aren't questions
20:44about the admissibility of a letter miss mcpherson is conducting a full-on discovery interview your
20:50honor i am simply trying i know what you're doing counsel and you've made your point anything further
20:58no your honor it's clear from the detective's testimony that the letter was neither
21:03written nor signed by mr holler and has no relevance to this hearing your honor the relevance is
21:10clear the defendant was owed money and he thought that sam scales had it and wouldn't pay we also have
21:17further documentation showing that mr holler filed a lien against sam scales which is now lodged against
21:24his estate so if there is any money left in the legal fund mr holler stands to receive it plus interest
21:31and now mr scales is no longer in a position to block that the fact is that the defendant could not
21:39get mr scales to pay in life so he hoped to collect from him in death objection miss bird this is your
21:46final warning see if your sound bites for the press not my courtroom of course your honor
21:59you're going to call your boss right now and then i'm going to call my lawyer and guess who's putting
22:13the guideline on the bill that's right this place this place this place this place
22:26why the hell are you parked in the red in front of a police station
22:54in the red in front of a police station we were in a hurry holla told me to get in and get out
22:59and when you came out the cop was writing you a ticket yeah and i told him i'll move it he's all
23:03like it's too late come on bro and at what point did you tell him to and i quote
23:09right off sideways i didn't mean him exactly i was meaning like all cops and then he asked
23:18you for your license and that's when he found out there was a bolo out for you okay but it shouldn't
23:22be why not you violated your probation again what hell no what'd i do your nephew posted this online
23:32section 2513 special conditions of probation no gang activity no associating with gang members
23:40no gang colors no symbols what were you thinking it's not what it looks like really because it

26:46an amateur i already asked the park in front of the library two o'clock yeah you really love me huh
26:58miss berg do you have any further evidence to offer at this time no your honor i simply urge
27:04the court to adhere to the letter of the law judicial discretion is wide-ranging but it does not extend
27:10to grand jury findings or legislative mandates respectfully your honor may i please address
27:19the court be brief miss mcpherson i just wanted to point out that our system of bail is designed to
27:27protect the community and ensure that the accused is held to answer mr holler has been free on bond now
27:34for three weeks without any attempt to flee in fact he sought this court's permission to leave the
27:39state for a witness interview and return the same day as directed he has not been a threat to anyone
27:45if anything he has been threatened your honor i must say you've had your turn miss burke continue
27:52counsel furthermore let's not forget the big picture here this court does have the discretion to ensure a
27:58fair trial and that means not only adhering to the letter of the law but also to its spirit you already
28:04decided the issue of bail weeks ago in the interest of justice and due deference to the authority of
28:09this court i respectfully request that bail remain as previously set allowing mr hollard
28:15remain free to fight these charges thank you
28:26as much as i'd love to power through this afternoon my type 1 diabetes insists otherwise furthermore the
28:32defenses indicated they wish to be heard on the issue of speedy trial so we'll take a recess now and

31:54I think he might be staying here.
31:56Have you seen this guy lately?
31:58Disculpe, señor, pero no comprendo.
32:02Si.
32:04Uh, yo quiero, uh, hablo con este camillero.
32:14Lo siento, señor, pero no puedo.
32:18Por favor.
32:20Yeah, he's been here all week.
32:28In that room right there.
32:30Thanks, man.
32:32I'm torn between a husky and, like, a bass in him.
32:46Yeah.
32:47Those are two very different vibes.
32:49Oh, I contain multitudes.
32:51Oh.
32:52What about you?
32:53Uh, maybe a bichon.
32:56Something fluffy I can carry in a bag.
32:58Classic fluffball.
32:59Okay, I see you.
33:00I see you.
33:01Maybe we can, like, meet in the middle.
33:03We can get, like, a cock-a-doodle.
33:05Uh...
33:06Or I can get a cock-a-doodle.
33:09Just me alone.
33:10Nice dog.
33:12Are you Izzy?
33:13You're Damon Fox?
33:14Just call me April if it's easier.
33:16Is this your girlfriend?
33:17Oh.
33:18Uh...
33:19Oh, come on.
33:20Get over it already.
33:21You're so cute together.
33:23So, is this, like, your thing?
33:25Recording cops?
33:26And they're being assholes.
33:27Which is always.
33:28Well, the one in your video definitely was.
33:30And I want to use it against him.
33:31Sure.
33:32How much?
33:33Uh...
33:34For free.
33:35For free.
33:36No, thanks.
33:38Wait, no, no, no.
33:39It's for my boss, Mickey Holland.
33:41He's the guy who got pulled over.
33:42She needs to use the video in court for his trial?
33:44Yeah, and there are serious ethical issues with paying for evidence.
33:47In court?
33:48Is it, like, a big case?
33:50Just look up the Lincoln Lawyer.
33:51It's all over the news.
33:52No, yeah.
33:53It is super high profile.
33:54I mean, this is...
33:55This is huge.
33:56And if we use your video,
33:57we might need you to authenticate it, so...
34:00I could be on TV.
34:02It is possible.
34:04Yes.
34:05Yes.
34:12Hello.
34:13I can't remember.
34:14We'll be on TV.
34:15It is possible.
34:16A little.
34:17You can't...
34:18It's not?
34:19Yeah.
34:20It's a great game.
34:21Yeah.
34:22I'm happy.
34:23I can't wait to see it.
34:24We want you to see it.
34:25It's all over the news.
34:26That's all over the news.
34:27Yeah, I'm fine.
34:28We want you to see it.
34:29We want you to see it here.
34:30It's fine, honey...
34:31It will be nice to see it,
34:32We'll see it here.
34:33He can't wait for a moment,
34:34and we can see it.
34:35He has an amazing guy.
34:36We'll see it on TV.
34:37It's a huge deal.
34:38Can't wait for a minute.
34:39And wait for a minute.
34:40Hey, kid. How'd the case go?
34:55She dropped the probation violation, but dug in on the gun.
34:58How many years?
35:00Well, she wanted three years, but I got her down to 16 months.
35:0316 months? That's fantastic.
35:06It is?
35:06Are you kidding?
35:07For a convicted gang member with a gun on a probation violation.
35:13With good behavior, he'll be out in less than a year.
35:16That's amazing.
35:18Yeah, I guess so.
35:20If you want to do this long-term, kid, you need to learn something.
35:25Home runs are rare.
35:27Swing for the fence is all you want.
35:30But in this game, you're lucky when you get a single.
35:33And in my book, you just read second base standing up.
35:37I don't know what any of that means, but it sounds good.
35:41Thanks, legal. I really needed that.
35:42Next stop. For what?
35:44Hey, where are you?
35:44Well, it was too late to get back to the museum, so I took a bus.
35:49The bus? Why wouldn't you just take an Uber?
35:51In case you hadn't noticed, kid, I'm on a fixed income.
35:55Besides, I used to pick up clients on the bus all the time.
36:00Nothing beats taking in the city's raw essence.
36:04I think that's probably just urine.
36:06I've smelled worse.
36:07And if you stay in this, you will too.
36:11Well, I have to go sell this to my client.
36:16Thanks again, legal.
36:18Go get him, kid.
36:19Not much of our last meal.
36:36It's not going to be our last meal.
36:39What's the saying?
36:41Prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich if they want to.
36:45Let's go over what you're going to say for the speedy trial motion.
36:51I want to be on the same page.
36:52Wait, what I'm going to say? I thought you were doing it.
36:54Well, I was, but I don't think it's doing you any good being on the sidelines.
36:59I don't know, man. I'm not in the best headspace right now.
37:03Which is exactly why you need to focus on something.
37:06Court is where you shine, holler.
37:08Besides, if I have to say one more word to Dana Berg,
37:11I might reach across and strangle her.
37:13You truly were amazing this morning, Maggie.
37:23I'm so grateful you're here with me.
37:26I don't know what I'd do with you.
37:33You're going to get through this, Meg.
37:35You hear me?
37:36You hear me?
37:39Hmm.
37:41Hmm.
37:43Hey, Cisco, what's up? Everything okay?
37:46Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?
37:48We're still waiting on the judge. No news yet.
37:51Well, I got some that might make you happy.
37:53I think I found him.
37:55Who, Gazzari?
37:56Yeah.
37:57He's holed up at a hotel with his girlfriend.
38:00Yes, I love you, Cisco.
38:02Let's not count out chickens before they hatch.
38:05I'm going to stake him out, see what they do next.
38:08I just try not to lose him.
38:10Don't worry, I got this.
38:12And Mick, give him hell today.
38:16Oh, you know it.
38:21Turn the fuck around.
38:24Or you're deaf, turn around.
38:26Or you're deaf.
38:46…
38:47It's really two sides of the same coin, right?
39:09The fairness argument, but from two different angles.
39:13Yeah, but I want to make it clear that I never wavered about it.
39:18Hayley, what are you doing here? Everything okay?
39:21Yeah, I'm fine. Don't you have class?
39:23I do, but I'm sort of skipping.
39:25Hayley.
39:26It's just this once, okay? I want to be here.
39:28Honey, please, just go back to school, all right?
39:30I don't want to screw up your life more than I already have.
39:33Dad, I'm not going anywhere.
39:35Come on, my mom and dad finally on the same side?
39:39It's the dream team. You think I'd miss this?
39:42Can't really argue with that.
39:45Come here.
39:47I love you.
39:49You too.
39:50I love you both.
39:57You may proceed, Mr. Haller.
39:59Your Honor, from day one, I've been consistent about two things.
40:13That I am innocent, and that I wouldn't agree to any delays.
40:17I did not commit this crime, and I won my trial as soon as possible.
40:24This is a game of chicken, and as the trial has drawn closer, the prosecution have been the ones to blink.
40:31Prosecution also knows that their case is full of holes and hanging by a threat, but I have innocence and reasonable doubt on my side.
40:41And filing a new indictment is nothing more than a desperate bid on their part to buy more time.
40:48But time is the one thing I refuse to give.
40:52I know the game, Your Honor.
40:53I know the game, Your Honor.
40:54Every lawyer has a bag of tricks.
40:56There's nothing pure about the law in a courtroom.
40:59But dropping the charge and tucking a grand jury into a new one, it's not a strategy.
41:04That's an attempt to bury me alive.
41:07They want to lock me up so I can't prepare my defense, and then restart the clock, giving them 60 more days to shore up their case.
41:14It's a cheap power play, nothing more.
41:23Is it legal?
41:26Is it within code?
41:31Maybe.
41:32But is it fair?
41:38Is it in the pursuit of justice?
41:41Not a chance.
41:44You can lock me up, you can throw me back in jail, you can delay the search for truth that a trial is supposed to be,
41:51but one way or another, that truth is going to come out.
41:54And I say let's get to it now instead of later at the prosecutor's convenience.
41:58Thank you, Your Honor.
42:02Any response, Ms. Burke?
42:05Your Honor, I'll keep it brief, since Mr. Holler made my argument for me.
42:10Referring this case to the grand jury is both legal and routine in this courthouse and all over the country.
42:17It isn't a delay tactic, and it is about justice for the real victim here, Sam Scales.
42:25Our case against the defendant is growing stronger every day.
42:28That's what he fears.
42:30He hopes rushing to trial will prevent our mounting evidence from crushing him.
42:36But, as he said, the truth is unavoidable.
42:40It is coming for him whether he likes it or not.
42:43And we would urge the court to not allow him to try and outrun it.
42:48It's Cisco.
43:01Maybe a message.
43:03Hey, just checking in.
43:05I'm at the courthouse.
43:06I think I can catch the end of the hearing.
43:08Just wanted to see how everything went today.
43:10Let me know.
43:10I love you.
43:11Bye.
43:11Hey, where are you?
43:15Oh, sorry.
43:16Yes, this is Lorna Crane.
43:18Who is this?
43:27This is a unique situation.
43:29It's usually the defendant who seeks to delay and put off the inevitable, but not here.
43:35Mr. Holler wants this behind him.
43:37But he also wants to be free to build his case.
43:39On the other hand, the people only get one shot at this, and time to prepare is crucial.
43:46Therefore, it is equally crucial that I make a decision that is fair to both sides.
43:50For that reason, the court is inclined to split the baby.
43:54But I will let the defendant choose how that split is made.
43:57Mr. Holler, you decide.
43:59You can either continue your current bail and waive your right to a speedy trial,
44:03or I will revoke bail and remand you, but refuse to change the trial calendar,
44:07leaving your speedy trial date in place.
44:12I understand this is a momentous decision,
44:14so I will allow you a moment to confer, but just a moment.
44:18This is an uncomfortable position, and the court will not remain in it for long.
44:21Mickey, I know you want this to be over with, but maybe you should waive the speedy trial.
44:43No, no, if I do that burgle, just delay and delay for God knows how long.
44:48Maybe a year before I get to trial.
44:51I'm menacing, Maggie.
44:52As long as this is hanging over my head, I don't look innocent.
44:55I can't go on like this.
44:57And I can't put Haley through it anymore.
44:59I need this to be over.
45:01But going back to jail, I mean, think about what that might do to Haley.
45:06Lorna, everything okay?
45:08Um, hey.
45:13Mickey, I have something I have to tell you.
45:15Before you say anything, what I put on you, it wasn't fair.
45:19All right, I'm sorry.
45:21I didn't see how overwhelmed you were.
45:23I wish I had.
45:25I'm so proud of you, Lorna.
45:26You're going to be an incredible lawyer.
45:28You already are.
45:35Did I say something wrong?
45:38No, um, it's not you.
45:44Legal had a heart attack.
45:47What?
45:49He was on the bus, and we were talking.
45:54I thought everything was fine.
45:59He's gone, Mickey.
46:01What are you talking about, Lorna?
46:03I'm so sorry.
46:09He's gone.
46:09I talked to his son, and they're going to try to do the funeral in the next couple of days.
46:33Come here.
46:34Come here.
46:36I'm so sorry.
46:37It's time.
46:41Okay, listen to me.
46:42You have to do this.
46:44Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to go to the funeral.
46:46Okay?
46:46It's okay.
46:47Mr. Holler?
47:07You made a decision?
47:08It's going to be okay, honey.
47:22Your Honor, I surrender myself to the court at this time, and I will be ready to defend myself
47:38on the charges of schedule.
47:40I will not waive my speed of trial.
47:41Very well.
47:49The court hereby remands you back into custody.
47:52Mickey, what are you doing?
47:54I'm sorry, Mickey.
47:55It's going to be okay.
48:04It's okay, honey.
48:05It's okay.
48:08I will never be okay.
48:25I will never go.
