William Whitehead: Arraignment Judge Philip Wyler

Quotes 

• A.D.A. Casey Novak : [about Judge Taft during his arrangement]  Your Honor, the defendant's being charged with knowingly facilitating a murder.

  James Woodrow : This is an outrage, Your Honor. An overzealous ADA is upset because she lost her case and is using the courts to exact retaliation.

  A.D.A. Casey Novak : He acted beyond the scope of his position by communicating ex parte with a woman who later committed murder.

  Judge Wyler : There's no grounds for these charges. An acquittal does not constitute aid to commit a felony.

  A.D.A. Casey Novak : Your Honor...

  Judge Wyler : You're making a mockery of this court, Ms. Novak. I'm throwing the charges out. This is hubris and it reeks of professional misconduct. And you'd better believe Arthur Branch will hear about it.
