Eric, what are you doing here, son? You all right?
Daddy, you shot Dad.
Give me the gun, Eric. Never meant for the kid to see such a thing.
Unfortunately, he did.
I told you to stay out of it, Howard.
What do I get for playing on your team?
I want to give you a chance to rock Waldo's world.
Ms. Love, Mr. Gaines would like to take his son home now.
It's not possible, Howard. You're under arrest, Mr. Gaines.
Don't, Daddy!
Eric!
Don't hurt Mommy!
Don't hurt my Daddy!
I'll be back.
Good morning, folks.
Mr. Faucius, this morning a grand jury has indicted Waldo Gaines for the fourth time in 18 months.
How are you feeling, sir?
By the grand jury's swift indictment on capital murder charges,
it assures us that the people of Atlanta will finally see this criminal brought to justice.
No more questions, thank you.
Mr. Faucius, you have tried Waldo Gaines unsuccessfully at the cost of a half a million dollars in taxpayers' money.
Why they keep playing that interview? It's two months old.
Check that off.
Hold it, hold it, hold it.
Can't afford to lose, can I?
I thought maybe I lost a little weight.
I can't believe the defense has opted out of discovery.
That can only mean one thing.
They don't want to know our case because they don't want us to know theirs.
Probably got a couple of cards up their sleeve.
What's the special today at diners? I'm starved.
Red beans and rice.
You want to work over lunch?
Yeah.
The way I see it, we can't lose.
Waldo's own lawyers willing to testify on them.
Howard Straess, I ace in the hole.
Ace of spades, that's a death card.
Yeah, it wasn't what that meant in my neighborhood.
I got another one of those phone calls last night.
My wife's pretty upset.
They say I won't live to finish this trial.
You know, Dan, Gaines isn't stupid enough to come directly at me.
But if you want off this case, I'd understand.
No way. I'm not going to let you take all the headlines.
If we'd come this far together, I wouldn't leave you hanging out to dry now.
I appreciate it.
Get on over and get us some red beans and rice.
Take these briefs.
Hey, Richard.
Hey!
Help!
Oh, my God!
Don't move him!
Daniel, can you hear me?
Just stay calm.
We're going to get you some help.
Is he alive? Conscious?
Just barely.
Why?
There was no accident.
Why they came right at me.

Good Guys, Bad Guys, Tuesday on 9.
I called you as soon as I got the subpoena.
The prosecution needs Eric to testify at Waldo's tribe.
It's just a subpoena. It doesn't mean they'll act on it.
How's he doing with therapy?
They call it post-traumatic stress syndrome.
He remembers everything about the shooting.
He's acted it out in counseling with puppets.
Did he identify as Waldo as the killer?
Yes.
And then he cried.
Eric?
Hi.
Do you remember me?
You're the lady who was there when my daddy got in trouble.
That was a pretty scary night, wasn't it?
The police came and took my daddy away from me.
I don't want you to go through anything not scary again, Eric.
You can trust me, okay?
We're keeping busy, aren't we, Eric?
We went to the movies yesterday.
Just came from the toy store. Show Reggie a new toy.
We'll get back to normal soon if everyone will just leave us alone.
Reggie.
You've got to stop this subpoena.
You're my lawyer.
Eric mustn't be put through this.
I'll talk to her, Claudette.
At the moment, it's you I'm worried about.
Slow down. You've been through a nightmare.
Stop pretending that everything is okay.
Everything is okay.
You'll make it okay.
Ladies and gentlemen, can we please settle down and find our seats as quickly as possible?
Court is now in session.
The honorable Judge Marshall presiding.
I understand defense has a motion.
The defense moves for a change of venue.
On what grounds are you proposing to move out of Fulton County?
My client won't get a fair trial.
Mr. Fultrick has a well-deserved reputation in this county for vengeful persecution of Waldo Gaines.
Persecution, Your Honor?
Who is he, St. Sebastian?
Miss Dock, I don't believe any pretrial publicity would prohibit a fair trial in Fulton County.
Motion denied.
What else?
As a final motion, the defense moves to have the prosecutor, Mr. Fultrick, removed.
No offense, Mr. Fultrick.
I'm not taking, Miss Dock. I simply regard it as a healthy fear of a worthy adversary.
On what grounds?
Mr. Fultrick is a glory hound.
He's recently thrown his hat in the ring for another run of district attorney.
Unless stopped, he'll use this trial as the stage for his campaign.
Motion denied. I'll see you both at trial.
Me prosecute Waldo Gaines with you?
Cobra's going to be laid up for God knows how long.
I don't have time to prep anybody else. You already know the case.
Well, I'm not a criminal lawyer.
This is a major mob figure. What about the other ADAs in your office?
Gaines has managed to bribe jury members in his last three trials, not to mention key members of my office.
I need a right-hand guy I can trust.
I understand you've subpoenaed Eric Gaines.
He is on my witness list, yes.
You're not going to use him.
Excuse me?
Anyone who doesn't understand it's not a good idea for Eric to send his own father to prison doesn't belong on this planet.
It is my hope not to have to put him on the witness stand, Reg, but I can't guarantee it.
His father likes to murder people. He tried to murder Holbrooke.
I'm not going to let him walk on me again.
What's at stake here for Eric is his sanity. I will not have that threatened.
Look, Reg, what I need here is your help, not a third degree.
If you don't want on this case, that's your choice.
The only interest I have in being on this case is to make sure no bad decisions are made where Eric is concerned.
Do we have a deal?
Okay. All right.
It's not going to be easy, Reg. They're mind dangerous.
I need to examine the evidence.
Now you're talking.
Oh, by the way, do you happen to be on a dangerously short skirt in your winter wardrobe?
The jury is predominantly male. It can't hurt.
Pig.
Oh, hi, honey.
Soup's ready.
Oh, good.
Hard deck computer class?
Oh, we're all so dumb.
The people in there have been laid off, trying to retrain for jobs that I'm beginning to suspect don't even exist.
This needs paprika.
Where's Jackson?
Well, his heart's still in Paris, but his feet have been out all day looking for a job.
Why didn't you bring your coat back with him?
I want to talk about Nicole.
All right.
That could be a big favor to me if that name was never mentioned around here again.
All right.
I mean, she went off with some fart old enough to be her father.
Are we talking financial security here?
Yeah, big bucks, and I'm dead broke.
Oh, welcome to the club.
Well, they got me a job, Jantz Construction. With a little luck, I'll be moving out soon.
Well, we were hoping that you'd contribute.
Oh.
Sure.
Oh, ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
the fibers found on the bodies of Brent and Tyler would indicate
that they had been dragged across the carpet belonging to a Mr. Waldo Gaines.
Excuse me a minute, Roy.
Wait a minute, Reggie. You're interrupting my train of thought.
What? Who dragged those bodies?
Howard Strafe? Lawyers don't drag bodies.
And Waldo wasn't about to get his hands dirty.
Whoa, Reggie. You're an assistant here, right?
Why don't you just stay in your own lane?
Well, pardon me for having an original thought.
Perhaps you'd like to give me a list of rules about how I'm supposed to address you.
Well, uh, your royal highness wouldn't hurt.
No, okay, go ahead. You seem to be on to something.
Somebody dragged those bodies out of Waldo's house and transported them.
Yeah? Got a name?
Mr. X.
Oh, Mr. X. I like that. It's got a nice ambiguous ring to it.
Who interviewed Eric Gaines' nanny that day?
Maybe she saw Mr. X.
Rosita Hernandez? In a dead position right here.
According to this, she's from Guatemala.
Clint, could you find Eric Gaines' nanny, Rosita Hernandez?
She's closed up tighter than a clam.
She may know about a third man at the murder site.
Use your imagination and see if you can get her to open up a little bit.
Thank you.
Done, your majesty.
Rosita Hernandez?
Mr. Gaines has a message for you.
Mr. Gaines is in jail.
You don't think Mr. Gaines knows how to get messages out of jail?
You know the third guy? The guy who was there the day of the shooting?
Mr. Badozzi.
No, no. There, you see? Mr. Gaines doesn't even want his name mentioned.
You understand? Ever.
I never saw him, never heard him, never in my life, I swear.
Good. Excellent. Mr. Gaines will be pleased.
Mr. Gaines ordered me to dispose of the bodies along with the gun.
I feared for my life.
Rather than put the gun in acid, as he told me,
I threw it in the water off the southern bank of the Chattahoochee.
That way, if Gaines ever made threats in my life,
I would have evidence tying him to the murders.
And did you dispose of the bodies?
Nice shot.
I was instructed to put them in freezer compartments in an abandoned ice cream truck.
Gaines instructed you to do anything else?
Yeah. He told me to pick up a quart of milk on the way home.
His son hadn't had breakfast that morning.
Howard, who's this bag of dusty fella you keep failing to mention?
You're off your game, Howard.
The man's a thug.
I didn't feel the need to name anybody else who just might want to slit my throat.
You don't need him.
I admire your will to live, Howard.
Look, I have given you what you want.
I believe it's time for you to give me what I want.
Geez, I remember the days when talk was cheap.
I want full immunity for every crime that I have ever committed.
Howard, you gonna have to take that up with the Lord above?
I'm used to working on a case-by-case basis.
Yeah, but you don't have a case without me.
And many campaign promises to keep before you're re-elected.
Without protective custody, Howard, you're a dead man.
I could throw you out on the street right now.
Oh, I don't think the governor would approve of that, Roy.
Mm-mm. Not with the whole county watching,
waiting for the local boy to put the big, bad gangster man behind bars once and for all.
Uh-uh.
I'm not budging, Foltrick.
Full immunity. That's the deal.
All right, Howard.
I'll make this deal with you.
And I promise you, you change one silver hair on what you're telling me here today.
I'll have your face rearranged so thoroughly your own mother won't recognize you.
And that I will enjoy.
Uh, I hear on the street this transportation vehicle carried passengers from Mr. Waldo Gaines.
Yeah, well, you hear wrong.
You're hot, bagadozie.
You'll make a deal now. You could get cold real quick.
Maybe even, uh, frozen.
Look, why don't you get the hell out of my cab?
You should call this lady.
She might be able to help you.
You're gonna get out of my cab or I'm gonna throw you out.
Nice meeting you.
Clant, did you leave that window open?
No, ma'am.
I think we'd better come 9-1-1, Reg.
Reg, meet the late Mr. Bagadozie.
Look before you leap.
Driving young people to suicide.
He's a really destructive man.

Plus at home with Australia's reluctant hero.

You're not going to stay on this case, are you, Reggie?
A dead man was found in your office.
I've made a commitment to Roy and Eric.
There's a lot at stake here.
There's a lot at stake here for me, too.
Your safety, for instance.
I'm afraid for you, Reggie.
Waldo Gaines is a dangerous man.
Nothing's going to happen to me.
This is about fear.
About instilling fear and ruling with fear.
I'm not going to let my life be run by fear.
I tried that once already.
It doesn't work.
I just wish you could go into corporate law or something.
There's my cowboy.
Come give Daddy a hug.
Oh, yes.
Oh, I miss these hugs.
I appreciate the visit, Claudette.
Let's not pretend I'm here with my own free will, Waldo.
Oh, you know I don't like to use coercion.
Why do you force me into it?
You know, life would be so much easier on all of us
if you'd just respect my wishes.
Are you coming home soon, Daddy?
Very soon, son.
Your mama knows I didn't do anything wrong.
Ain't that right, Claudette?
Claudette.
All right, that's enough.
You've seen him.
God?
God, hello?
Hold your horses now.
Hold your horses.
Eric, you know who I am, don't you?
You're my daddy.
That's right.
And your daddy would never hurt anyone, would he?
No, Daddy.
Always and forever.
I love you with all my heart.
And your mama's going to see to it that everything that can be done
to get me out of this place will be done.
Ain't that right, Claudette?
Come on, Eric, let's go.
See you, and I'll go ahead.
Come on.
What am I going to do?
First of all, you're going to pull yourself together.
You're of no use to Eric if you're not thinking clearly.
I am thinking clearly.
I'm going to take Eric and I'm getting out of this town.
Claudette, if you leave town, we can't protect you.
Now, listen to me.
A subpoena has not yet been issued by the defense.
If it is, I will file a motion to quash.
We have medical records that indicate Eric may not be competent to testify.
Are you promising me you'll keep him off the stand?
I can do everything legally possible.
I beat him.
You beat the devil out of me.
Honey, it's time to go.
Eric, I know it's hard for you to know who to trust right now,
but listen to your mom.
Everything's going to be okay.
She's right.
You'll see.
Bye-bye.
Thank you.
You can lock the door, Clint,
but Waldo's hood seemed to be able to get in anywhere.
Bagadozzi was not a pretty sight.
Not a great loss to the world provided Howard Strait stays healthy.
Can we get Rosita Hernandez in here?
Navy says she moved back to Guatemala.
Said it was safer there.
I'm trying to track her down, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Five bucks.
Any raids?
I'm dead.

Earl McGill, FBI.
We've been ordered to move this man to stricter security.
We'd like to leave as soon as possible.
Your cops let two guys in because they have phony FBI badges?
What the hell do you think protective custody means?
No more Howard Strait.
Great.
We've got no witness.
Maybe they'll find him.
Alive?
Want to make a book?
No, thanks.
Have to use Eric.
I have no choice.
We made a deal.
Reg, Waldo Gaines wants his son on the stand.
His son is going to take the stand.
Now, do you want it to be for them or for us?
It's not us anymore, Roy.
I'm off this case.
Reg, are you working against me here?
I'm working for Eric Gaines.
What do you see as the problem here, Miss Love?
Everybody is being protected except Eric.
What do you suggest I do to alleviate that?
I want to be appointed to Child's Council, Your Honor.
Well, there's no precedent for that.
We both know that children's rights is a regrettably gray area in our justice system.
You can do this, sir.
It's your call.
Let me ask you this.
How do you see yourself functioning in this matter?
As his friend, someone who understands his point of view.
He'll know he can turn to me any time and I will tell him the truth.
I'll be on his side and I will know his rights.
All right.
I'll appoint you Special Counsel to Eric Gaines to see him through the balance of the trial.
Thank you, sir.
What was that?
I don't know.
Somebody's down there on the porch.
You stay here.
No, Reggie, don't go down there by yourself.
Oh, I'm going to kill him.
What time is it?
You don't want to know.
Oh, hey, Red.
This is my sister, Reggie.
Reggie, this is my boss.
Hi, boss.
He really tied one on, so I didn't want him to drive home.
Well, we better get some food in him.
Oh, food makes me sick.
Everything makes me sick.
Mama, I really loved him.
Mama, what am I going to do?
Try sleeping it off.
Yeah, but sleep makes me sick.
Oh, come on.
Thank you for driving him home.
It's all right, no problem.
Night, buddy.
I need you on the job tomorrow.
My sister's pretty, isn't she?
Don't you think my sister's pretty?
Yeah, she sure is.
Come on.
Good night, Mike.
Good night, Jackson.
Hey, Mike, you want to marry my sister?
She's one good-looking woman.
She's available.
Well, thanks again.
I've been, uh, drunk and distraught a few times myself.
So this girl, Nicole, is she gone for good?
Oh, who knows?
The club springs eternal.
Yeah, sure does.
Well, night.
Good night.
Oh, yeah.
Thanks.
Bye.
Thank you.
Claudette.
Claudette, what happened?
Did Waldo do this to you?
You got to talk to me, Claudette.
Eric needs someone to look out for him.
Claudette.
You must be Reggie Love.
Yes.
Well, I'm Henrietta Gaines.
I have a court order for Eric.
Claudette signed over custody to me.
You want to explain to me how she ended up in here again?
Well, I'm sure you're aware of Claudette's history of clinical depression.
She overdosed.
Mrs. Gaines, in order to serve the special needs of this child,
I have been appointed his guardian throughout the legal process.
I will function as his attorney.
Eric, I'm going to be your friend in court.
You're not going to have to do anything that you don't want to do.
Come on down, Eric.
It's okay.
Go on with your grandmother.
Claudette, we can't quit.

How's Eric?
Don't you worry about Eric.
That lawyer, Miss Love, she's gonna be a problem.
I doubt that.
What are you doing here? I thought you'd be off this case.
I'm functioning as Special Court Appointed Counsel for Eric Gaines.
It's highly irregular.
Charles Rice is a new field and is still making laws.
Well, I wish you were still on my team.
Sorry, Roy. I know what getting law, though, means to you.
Do you?
I'm amazed by the obsession sometimes myself.
We got no bag of doses, no Howitt Strait,
no Rosita Hernandez.
No case. No case.
Experts will testify that fibers were found
from Mr. Gaines' Chinese carpet,
as well as fibers from his fine Italian suit
on the bodies of these two victims,
and that this evidence is in prime condition
because these bodies were found frozen,
frozen and stuffed in the freezer compartment of an ice cream truck.
You gonna hear a lot of talk about how Waldo Gaines is a respectable citizen,
good businessman,
prominent member of the community.
Truth is, he has created an illicit empire of crime and corruption,
and he has built this empire on the backs of such wannabes as Tyler and Brent,
criminals themselves and perhaps deserving of such a death,
but at the hands of Waldo Gaines.
The truth of the matter is he snuffed out the lives of these two men
because he thought he could get away with it.
He thought nobody would care.
He never ever thought that he'd be facing you.
Facing you?
The jury?
Sworn to hold him accountable?
Thank you.
Ms. Stark?
Your Honor, we will not take up the jury's valuable time,
but the response will wait on closing.
The prosecution simply has no case.
Ms. Stark, could I have a word with you, please?
Is there something to discuss outside the courtroom?
Eric, I'm speaking as his lawyer.
I believe that Eric is in too fragile a state to testify.
Really?
My understanding was that he was subpoenaed by the prosecution as well as the defense.
Eric was put in a mental institution two months ago in a highly volatile state.
I would appreciate it if you would consider making an agreement.
Not to call him to the stand.
I'm concerned about his well-being.
Eric is in good hands at the moment he's sequestered in a hotel
in the care of his grandmother waiting to take the stand.
And he will take the stand.
Eric, have a cookie.
No, thank you.
Do you know what that is?
The Bible.
When big people go to court, they make them swear on the Bible to tell the truth.
I saw that on TV.
Children have to swear on the Bible too.
Am I going to have to do that?
Yes, but you already know the truth.
The truth is that your daddy wouldn't hurt anyone.
You know that, don't you?
Eric, do you remember what happened that day?
Kind of.
You do want to see your daddy again, don't you?
Yes.
And that's why you're going to have to tell the truth.
That you never saw your daddy hurt anyone that day.
Do you understand me, Eric?
Hey, Reggie.
Michael, hi.
I'm not interrupting your supper, am I?
Oh, no, we just finished.
Where's Jackson?
I was just about to ask you that.
He didn't show up for work today.
What?
Yeah, kind of ticked off.
You know, we lost half a day's work because of him.
Something wrong?
Well...
Jack, what in the hell are you doing?
Jack, left the truck on, pal.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
How many fingers have I got up here, buddy?
Jackson, what has gotten into you?
About a quarter bourbon.
I want everybody out of my face.
Michael?
Michael, are you all right?
Oh, dear.
I'm sorry.
I'm very sorry.
Jackson, you come back here to apologize this minute.
Oh, I'm quite right in there.
Come inside and I'll get you some ice.
No, it's all right.
You sure?
Yeah, yeah.
Let me go move the truck.
Soaking your thick skull won't help.
You listen to me, Jackson, and you listen closely.
You're a spoiled child, and that's my fault.
I probably loved you more than I should have
because you're so much like your father.
But being handsome and charming will win you no more points with me.
From now on, you come into this house sober and you leave it sober.
I lost your father to that poison, and I almost lost your sister to it.
I'll make a pot of coffee.
I had to spend all day putting on a buzz to wash it down with coffee.
Is this about Nicole?
Yeah, it's about Nicole.
It's your fault she left me, you and her.
I was picking on people.
Do me a favor, Jackson, and stop feeling sorry for yourself.
Nicole was rude, plain and simple.
Yeah, well, I remember the first time you brought Gus in here,
the worst jerk I'd ever seen.
You didn't see me getting all in your face about it.
Well, I wish the hell you had.
How is he?
Angry and drunk.
How's your jaw?
Oh, it's all right.
You're a very nice man.
Thank you for moving the truck.
You know, I can also lift heavy things.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
No, this whole scene reminds me of myself once upon a time.
Is there anything I can do?
No, you'll be all right.
Well, maybe I'll call you tomorrow.
You can check up on him.
Sure.
Thanks again.
Sure. Good night.
Good night.
Yes, the house had been cleaned meticulously before we gathered evidence.
But your forensic report states that Mr. Tyler's blood was found.
Is that correct?
That's correct.
Mr. Tyler's blood was found in microscopic form
on the underside of the table in Mr. Gainsbrunt Hall.
And there was also blood evidence for Mr. Brown?
There were two minute droplets recovered
from the support of a foundation wall.
Thank you.
Ms. Stark, your witness.
He looks happy to see me, don't you think?
Oh, yeah. Oh, he loves you, Reg.
In daylining blood evidence, Ms. Jenkins,
is it possible to ascertain the exact moment in time the blood was left?
Not very reliably, no.
Are you aware that Mr. Tyler and Mr. Brent worked for Mr. Gains?
Was he physically moving heavy art and furnishings into his house?
Objection, Your Honor.
Where is this going, Ms. Stark?
I'm simply making the point that either of these men
might have nicked a finger
leaving that blood at some earlier point in time.
This is a Walther PPKS 380, disassembled.
Slide mechanism, trigger assembly, silencer, and ammunition clip
were fished up from a weighted tie at the bottom of the Chattahoochee River.
Thank you, Officer.
Is this the gun that was used in the murders of Tyler and Brent?
Yes, sir.
Forensics test verified the bullets were definitely fired from this gun.
Did you find Waldo Gains' prints on the gun?
No, sir. The prints were obscured by the water.
Well, is this gun registered to anybody?
The handgun is registered to Waldo Gains.
No further questions, Your Honor.
Thank you, Officer.
Your witness.
Right.
Howard Strath is back, alive and well.
Would the witness please identify himself or the jury?
Howard Strath.
I was attorney with Waldo Gains for about 20 years.
Mr. Strath, would you please tell the jury
events as you saw them occur in the home of Mr. Waldo Gains
the morning of October 28, 1995?
Mr. Gains operated a gun trafficking ring
out of Purcell's Auto Auction up there on Tarboro Road.
Two of the employees of the auction, Mr. Leander Tyler
and Mr. Sanford Brent, wanted a cut of the illegal proceeds
which amounted to about $20 million each year.
Tyler and Brent appeared at Mr. Gains' home
about 10 o'clock in the morning.
Mr. Strath, would you please describe what happened next?
Certainly.
I shot Mr. Tyler and Mr. Brent.
Your Honor, this is obviously a hostile witness.
I ask for recess that I may regroup and question him as such.
Objection, Your Honor. Mr. Foltrigg has had the better part
of his life these past months.
To prepare for this witness's testimony,
the D.A.'s office offered full immunity for his testimony.
Your Honor, you don't have to be a college graduate
to realize that I have been completely bamboozled here.
Obviously, Mr. Strath was abducted by Waldo Gains
who affected my total turnout in his testimony.
I need time to sort this out.
Motion denied.
This trial has gone on far too long as it is.
It's time to end all the histrionics
and the burden to the taxpayer.
Ms. Stark, your witness.
No questions, Your Honor.
Thanks, Eva McIntyre and Kenny Rogers.

We don't have to put Eric on a stand.
Howard's given us everything we needed.
A jury might get it in their head
that Howard made a better deal with you
than Foltrick could offer him.
Well, now, how could they possibly get such an idea in their head?
Well, they might think that Howard was attached
to the notion of staying alive.
Oh, you watch too much television, Mom.
You need Eric's testimony to seal this.
I'll sleep on it.
I would have thought you would have trouble sleeping lately.
Who, me?
I sleep like a log.
I don't want to hurt Eric, Reggie,
but I don't have a prayer without him now.
Why is winning the only thing on your agenda?
Have you become such a political animal
that you can't see the suffering in that child's eyes?
I did not put it there.
No, but you will multiply it if you put him up in front of all those people
and make him point his finger at his father.
Is your career really that important?
No, justice is.
Look, the bottom line is this.
The little boy's been subpoenaed. He's probably going to testify.
The question is, do you want him to have some preparedness for it?
What are you talking about?
Don't be going over little Eric's testimony,
and you can be there to help him share his secret for the first time.
Do you have any idea how painful sharing that secret is going to be for him?
Not as painful as keeping it?
Not as painful as spending the rest of his life with his father?
Oh, well, this is it, Eric.
This is the courtroom.
You ever watch those courtroom shows on TV?
You mean like Judge Wapner?
Yeah, exactly. Just like Judge Wapner.
Well, we're going to have a judge in here on Monday, too.
Coming, Reggie?
I'm right here. Right here, Eric. Don't worry.
And see the judge?
The judge is going to sit way up there,
and the jury, they're going to be over there,
and me, I'm going to be right around in here.
Eric, why don't you try that chair out?
Go on up there and try it on for size.
Try your voice out in here, Eric.
It echoes, see?
Try it out. Say something. Say anything.
Say your name.
Eric Gaines.
How old are you, young man?
Eight, going on nine.
Where will my daddy be?
He'll be over at that table next to a lady who's his lawyer.
Will he be looking at me?
Yes, he will.
Does that bother you?
What if he looks mad?
Your daddy's always happy when you tell the truth, isn't he?
That's all you have to do.
Hey, look, Eric, I know you love your father,
and you wouldn't want to do anything to hurt him or nothing,
but you do know the difference
between telling the truth and telling a lie, don't you?
I go to Sunday school.
So if I ask you a question or when I ask you a question,
you're going to tell the truth, right?
I don't want to do this.
Okay, Eric.
Go slow.
Take a deep breath, son.
Okay.
Roy.
You want to try it?
Roy.
I don't want to do this.
Daddy, please don't make me do this.
All right.
Daddy, please don't make me do this.
Okay.
Shh.
I would like to register a motion to quash both subpoenas
ordering my client, Eric Gaines, to testify here today.
On what grounds?
On grounds that this situation is too highly charged for a child,
that Eric will be subjected to questions
that will confuse and frighten him,
questions designed to break him down,
and all of this in front of a courtroom full of people.
There's a word for this, sir, abuse.
Well, Miss Love, I have here an affidavit
from one of his psychiatrists at Mount Summit Hospital,
and he states that Eric can tolerate this experience
and it might even prove cathartic.
This is an eight-year-old boy who has been traumatized.
He's still in treatment.
I ask the court to consider the potential
for severe psychological damage inherent in this situation.
Well, I'll take this under consideration.
Thank you.
I've not recalled the jury because I wish to address counsel.
Now, I've reviewed these affidavits on record
by psychiatrists on both sides of the Eric Gaines matter.
Three believe he's too fragile to testify,
and three believe he's amply resilient.
All these psychiatrists are the same child
and all saw different things.
I've met with Eric Gaines,
and I find him to be a cogent eight-year-old boy.
Therefore, I'd like the jury to meet him too,
and I'm ruling that he is competent to stand witness.
But, Your Honor...
Don't press it, Miss Love.
The court is ruled.

Hi, love and Monday, baby

Jury.
Ruling on a witness's competency
should not be misconstrued as a ruling on his ability to tell the truth.
That's a matter for you to decide.
Alright Miss Stark, call your witness.
Defence calls Eric Gaines.
Thank you.
Let's go.
You swear to tell the truth,
and nothing but the truth, so help your God?
Yes.
Have we ever met before?
No.
You look like a nice young man who'd like to get out of this courtroom
and go back to playing like a normal kid.
I would.
Well, I'm not going to make that hard for you to do.
I'm going to ask you one question,
and then you can go home as far as I'm concerned, okay?
Okay.
Did you see your daddy shoot two men at his house?
Can I have a drink of water?
Thank you, Josh.
There you go.
I went into my daddy's study and took the gun.
And nobody was there?
Nobody was there.
Did you see your daddy shoot anybody?
My daddy would never hurt anybody.
Okay.
You're a witness?
Yes.
Okay.
You're a witness?
Hi, Eric.
You remember me?
Yes.
You remember that day that we came into this courtroom,
there wasn't anybody here, and you were going to tell me what happened?
Yes.
You remember the day that you shot your daddy's handgun?
Yes.
Do you remember what happened right before that?
Did you see anyone shoot that gun?
Were you watching?
I don't remember.
Hey, G.
Who shot that gun, Eric?
I don't know.
Well, is it that you don't know or that you're just afraid to tell?
Eric?
It's all right, Eric.
You don't have to answer anymore.
I'm not going to push you.
Daddy, don't be mad at me.
I have to tell the truth.
Congratulations, Mr. Faultree.
Were you surprised at the swiftness of the guilty verdict?
Surprised? No, I am never surprised when the good citizens of Fulton County set a standard for justice.
Thank you.
