Quotes 

• Judge Richard Lobel : What's this about?

  Ann Kelsey : Corey Walker shot Suzanne.

  Tommy Mullaney : Ann.

  Jeanette Walker : Hey.

  Ann Kelsey : Not in self-defense, it was pre-meditated.

  Tommy Mullaney : Ann, stop this.

  Ann Kelsey : He also shot his father.

  Tommy Mullaney : Ann.

  Jeanette Walker : For God's sake, how could you do this?

  Ann Kelsey : I'm sorry, Jeanette, I can't.

  Tommy Mullaney : Please.

  Judge Richard Lobel : Hold on.

  Ann Kelsey : I went there that night. The boy told me what happened.

  Jeanette Walker : This is attorney-client privilege. You can't...

  Judge Richard Lobel : Quiet, please. The boy told you after you agreed to be their lawyer?

  Ann Kelsey : Yes.

  Tommy Mullaney : Oh, boy.

  Ann Kelsey : I don't care anymore, you hear me? I don't care about privilege.

  [to Jeanette] 

  Ann Kelsey : You're about to go on trial for something you didn't do. A 13-year-old boy killed 2 people. He should be getting psychiatric help and he's not.

  Judge Richard Lobel : Counsel...

  Ann Kelsey : No, Your Honor. I have stopped playing by the rules. If the rules can result in this, and I want out. Disbar me, do whatever you have to do, I am not staying quiet any longer.

  Tommy Mullaney : Your Honor, if I could take a minute with...

  Judge Richard Lobel : No, I'm taking over now, Mr. Mullaney. Let me do the talking. In the interests of justice, I'm dismissing the claim against Jeanette Walker. Miss Clemmons, you can bring the boy up on charges if you want. But I'm telling you right now, Miss Kelsey's inside information is totally excluded by the attorney-client privilege. Given that you have no real evidence, I strongly suggest that you work something out. Now, Ms. Kelsey... I'm reporting your actions to the State Bar. As of now, you're their problem, not mine. You'll be there, 11:00, tomorrow morning.

• Judge Richard Lobel : I don't mind telling you, Ms. Clemmons, I've got serious doubts here about your ability to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. There's nothing tying the gun to the defendant, there's nothing to support the alleged conspiracy between the boy and his mother. I don't much like wasting taxpayers money on foregone conclusions, but I cannot deny that probable cause at least does exist. I have no choice therefore but to order the defendant bound over for trial.

  Ann Kelsey : Your Honor, request to be heard in chambers.

  Judge Richard Lobel : What's going?

  Tommy Mullaney : Oh, God, Ann?

  Ann Kelsey : I need to be heard in chambers now.

  Tommy Mullaney : Ann.

  Ann Kelsey : Please, Your Honor.
