If you screw the law for one case, it will screw the law for everybody.

The whole thing was conspired by Jim Hood.

The '60s was a terrible era in a lot of ways. We do not need to relive them, and we do need to go forward. What I'm asking you to do is to look at this evidence and hold the state to the burden of proving this case beyond a reasonable doubt.

He told them he didn't have the $4,000.

There were no experts brought to the stand on the state's behalf. The appeal bond was not a condition of his physical improvement. The idea that he is a flight risk is absurd. Is the man going to flee with a walker, running down the road?

I am pathetically law-abiding.
