00:00 Is defense ready to call its first witness?
00:02 I am, your honor.
00:03 What?
00:04 I'm calling my witness. Does prosecution have a problem with that?
00:07 Objection.
00:08 This is outrageous, your honor. They can't switch attorneys in the middle of a trial.
00:11 And that would be true except for the fact that I've been co-counsel on this case from day one.
00:15 Co-counsel? What planet are you living on?
00:17 The one where Pierce Inspector lit as my attorney of record?
00:19 I have the employee directory right here. My name is in it.
00:22 It's been there since the beginning of this trial, and if you wanted to object to me,
00:25 you would have had to have done it at the beginning of this trial.
00:28 Then I want them waiving all rights to a mistrial, and I want it in the record.
00:31 Your honor, I'm not going to be punished just because she didn't understand that I've been representing myself this whole time.
00:35 He's got a point, Ms. Gibbs.
00:37 Then I want them waiving all rights to a mistrial based on him representing himself.
00:40 My pleasure, your honor. I don't expect we'll be needing a mistrial at all.
00:43 Then call your first witness.
00:45 Defense would like to call Gloria Danner to the stand.
00:48 Please state your name for the jury.
00:50 Gloria Danner.
00:52 Mrs. Danner, a number of years ago, your son Clifford was convicted of murder and sentenced to prison. Is that right?
00:59 Yes, for a crime he didn't commit.
01:02 How do you know he didn't commit it if he was convicted of it?
01:05 Because you proved he didn't.
01:07 Mrs. Danner, can you tell the jury why it is that you're here today testifying and not your son Clifford?
01:12 He was working late at that diner. It was the only place he could get a job when he got out.
01:17 Two men came in to rob the place and when Clifford tried to stop him, he was shot and killed.
01:25 I'm so sorry.
01:30 I worked my whole life to put him through school and he ends up dying at the back of that shit restaurant in that shit part of town.
01:45 Can you tell the jury why you agreed to come and share your story for me today?
01:49 Prison ruined Clifford's life.
01:55 And if you had been our lawyer from day one, he never would have been convicted in the first place.
02:05 Thank you, Gloria.
02:10 No more questions, Your Honor.
02:15 [Gentle music]
02:17 Mrs. Danner, I happen to be familiar with your son's case.
02:25 And I understand that in order to reopen it, Mr. Ross risked increasing his sentence to life.
02:32 That's correct.
02:34 Well, I'd like to know how you'd have felt if he lost that gamble.
02:37 I'd have been devastated.
02:39 And if that happened, how would you have felt if you then found out that Mr. Ross wasn't even a lawyer after all?
02:45 Objection, Your Honor. How many hypotheticals can she ask?
02:47 That's okay. I think everybody in this courtroom knows how they would feel.
02:53 No more questions, Your Honor.
02:57 I wouldn't have cared what a piece of paper had to say.
03:01 Because Mr. Ross is the only lawyer I ever ran into that ever gave a damn about my son.
03:09 [Gentle music]
03:11 Mr. Ross, would you care to call your next witness?
03:15 I can't imagine anyone being more eloquent than that, Your Honor.
03:22 (upbeat music)
