1. In the criminal
justice system...Copy !req
2. the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups:Copy !req
3. the police who
investigate crime...Copy !req
4. and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.Copy !req
5. These are their stories.Copy !req
6. First time I heard this, I was in my
parent's basement with Shelly Fern.Copy !req
7. Sixth grade, you
listened to Sinatra?Copy !req
8. My brother, he was in
tenth. He said it never fails.Copy !req
9. I love hotels, they
make me horny.Copy !req
10. This is last call.Copy !req
11. I thought this was the
city that never sleeps.Copy !req
12. The city doesn't, I do.Copy !req
13. Does she have a name?Copy !req
14. She's been sitting
alone for the last hour.Copy !req
15. I'm a perfect cure for that.Copy !req
16. You from out of town?Copy !req
17. Me and my friend,
we're from Elmira.Copy !req
18. I know it sounds corny but
we're kind of overwhelmed.Copy !req
19. Maybe you could show
us... Please, leave me alone.Copy !req
20. How about a refill? Hey, Dave.Copy !req
21. You want a drink? Here.Copy !req
22. I just want to go home.Copy !req
23. Look, miss, maybe the
gentleman was a little out of line.Copy !req
24. It's no reason to get violent.Copy !req
25. In the future, I suggest you
take your business elsewhere.Copy !req
26. Business? Honey, it's
after 1:00. You're alone.Copy !req
27. I want to make a phone call.Copy !req
28. Yes. I'd like to report a rape.Copy !req
29. At the Radcliffe Hotel.Copy !req
30. Her name is Julia Wood,
19, junior at Bradfield College.Copy !req
31. She says it happened
in one of the hotel suites.Copy !req
32. So how bad did it happen?Copy !req
33. Positive for semen. There's
some vaginal bruising.Copy !req
34. She says it was rape.
And you're not buying it?Copy !req
35. She's definitely upset. Rape?Copy !req
36. My mother told me that ladies don't go
to rock stars' hotel suites after midnight.Copy !req
37. Wanna give me a hint?
She claims it was C-Square.Copy !req
38. She's sedated now.
You'll have to come back.Copy !req
39. C-Square? Smile,
Lennie. Heavy metal.Copy !req
40. Your kids will probably
want his autograph.Copy !req
41. Four platinum records.Copy !req
42. You know what
kind of money that is?Copy !req
43. It'll keep his great-great-grandchildren
driving Bentleys.Copy !req
44. I'm glad about his future.
What about his past?Copy !req
45. His real name is, get this...Copy !req
46. Clarence Carmichael.Copy !req
47. He was born right here in Hell's
Kitchen. Now he lives in L.A.Copy !req
48. Besides being number one on Tipper
Gore's hit list for dirty words, nothing.Copy !req
49. Rock 'n' roll rapist. Not
much in the initial report.Copy !req
50. We got some pictures here, but
they don't really take us anyplace.Copy !req
51. I see a lot of black and blue.Copy !req
52. Shoulders, upper arms.Copy !req
53. This guy C-Square weighs a 180.Copy !req
54. According to that report,
she was 100 soaking wet.Copy !req
55. The doctors can ascertain
intercourse, but not necessarily rape.Copy !req
56. Yeah. I picked this
up on the way in.Copy !req
57. Have you ever had
a look at this guy?Copy !req
58. Great lyrics. Early Cole Porter.Copy !req
59. Okay, okay, so what? Being
hairy gets him 25-to-life?Copy !req
60. Just thinking maybe he puts
his monkey where his mouth is.Copy !req
61. He came to my dorm. He
said we were going dancing.Copy !req
62. In his hotel room?Copy !req
63. He's rich. He's famous.Copy !req
64. Why would anyone believe
a normal person like me?Copy !req
65. We believe you, Julia,
but we have to ask.Copy !req
66. He was gonna give
me tickets to a concert.Copy !req
67. He said they were in his room,
the suite where the President stayed.Copy !req
68. He said I'd get a
kick out of seeing it.Copy !req
69. And when you got up there?Copy !req
70. When he was done...Copy !req
71. he told me I could find
cab fare in his pocket.Copy !req
72. Did you scream
or try to get away?Copy !req
73. Look, Julia...Copy !req
74. we're not saying that
this didn't happen...Copy !req
75. but I got to tell you,
everybody knows his act.Copy !req
76. What's a jury gonna think, they know
you went up to his room at that hour?Copy !req
77. He can have any woman he
wants. Why did he do this to me?Copy !req
78. So this is why they bounced us
from the presidential suite, eh?Copy !req
79. It's a crime scene.
They have to check it out.Copy !req
80. The crime is you guys waking
me up before noon, okay?Copy !req
81. Hey.Copy !req
82. This is a fairy
tale. The girl's nuts.Copy !req
83. Me, I was up for dancing.Copy !req
84. But what's-her-face
had other plans.Copy !req
85. So you admit you went to bed
with her? Yeah. Why wouldn't I?Copy !req
86. Well, because Julia said that this
is a bad case of life imitating art.Copy !req
87. I write what sells, man.Copy !req
88. Doesn't mean I
live it. Okay? Okay.Copy !req
89. Last night, little Miss
College, dressed up like that...Copy !req
90. I guess I was wrong.Copy !req
91. She said all she
wanted was some tickets.Copy !req
92. She came up to my room to get
her eyeballs put on the ceiling, okay?Copy !req
93. Take it easy.Copy !req
94. What, did you get up on the wrong
side of your cage this morning?Copy !req
95. Hey, Teddy...Copy !req
96. don't we have lawyers for this?Copy !req
97. Yeah. It's okay,
Clarence. Right.Copy !req
98. It's obvious what crap's going
down here. It is? Fill us in.Copy !req
99. Clarence is in town to sign
a six-album, $20-million deal.Copy !req
100. You got to see your Miss
Wood wants a little piece.Copy !req
101. So it's extortion, not rape?
Like that never happened?Copy !req
102. I been in the business 10 years, the
last two with Clarence. Give me a break.Copy !req
103. Just check her out.Copy !req
104. You know, my cousin
used to play bass in a band.Copy !req
105. Biggest joint they ever booked
was Louie's on Varick Street.Copy !req
106. They couldn't even get a record
company guy to look at them.Copy !req
107. So now he's pumping gas? Booze.Copy !req
108. But I got to tell you,
something about rock 'n' roll...Copy !req
109. The chicks that used to line up at his
dressing room door was unbelievable.Copy !req
110. Yeah, but Julia's not like the
ones we saw hanging with the band.Copy !req
111. Just 'cause she wears pleated skirts
doesn't mean she listens to Barry Manilow.Copy !req
112. You know, most rape victims...Copy !req
113. they run home, grab a
shower, call a close friend.Copy !req
114. Julia heads straight for a bar.Copy !req
115. Where the bartender said
she had a couple on the rocks.Copy !req
116. I wonder how many
she had to warm up with?Copy !req
117. Julia, Marti, and I had an
English exam in the morning...Copy !req
118. and we went over to One Fifth for
lunch. You know, kind of a celebration.Copy !req
119. Yeah? Did you talk the bartender into
giving you a couple of bloody marys?Copy !req
120. We had cobb
salads and club soda.Copy !req
121. C-Square was there
with his entourage.Copy !req
122. And what? He hit on
Julia in the restaurant?Copy !req
123. It wasn't obnoxious or anything.Copy !req
124. We were at a table for four and
he kind of invited himself to join us.Copy !req
125. I hate to admit it, but
it was kind of a kick.Copy !req
126. You know, the whole
restaurant staring at us.Copy !req
127. Julia mentioned something about
tickets. They were for her brother.Copy !req
128. He's into heavy metal.Copy !req
129. So she was expecting C-Square
to drop by with two in the front row?Copy !req
130. No. He said he'd send them over.Copy !req
131. We were in our room
studying, around midnight...Copy !req
132. and C shows up,
looking for Julia.Copy !req
133. He said that the tickets were down
in the car. Julia went down with him.Copy !req
134. And a couple of minutes later,
she called us from his car phone...Copy !req
135. said they were
going out dancing.Copy !req
136. Julia usually go out
dancing after midnight?Copy !req
137. He's C-Square.Copy !req
138. The people in the
room next to his...Copy !req
139. were either very
sound sleepers...Copy !req
140. or Julia isn't a screamer,
'cause nobody heard anything.Copy !req
141. French silk. Button torn off.Copy !req
142. Sounds like he
was a little eager.Copy !req
143. You know, I'm trying awfully
hard to be politically correct...Copy !req
144. but I've been eager myself. It's no crime.
If you don't take no for an answer, it is.Copy !req
145. Unless it was
"no" after the fact.Copy !req
146. If Ann-Margret had asked me to go
dancing when I was standing at the altar...Copy !req
147. I would have turned to the
preacher and said, "I don't."Copy !req
148. Fame makes people
do stupid things.Copy !req
149. Okay, so Julia's star-struck.Copy !req
150. Why does she call
foul after the fact?Copy !req
151. Money. Publicity. Guilt.
Probably in that order.Copy !req
152. You guys both
single? Three times.Copy !req
153. Hey, how about this?Copy !req
154. Julia's supposedly studying
when C-Square shows up.Copy !req
155. Now, what co-ed bones up
on calculus in a $100 blouse?Copy !req
156. Yeah. Maybe she was
expecting somebody.Copy !req
157. Do you think it's possible
that someone in the lobby...Copy !req
158. saw them on their
way up to his suite?Copy !req
159. C-Square checks in,
we put on extra security.Copy !req
160. Girls come out of
the shag in the carpet.Copy !req
161. What about this girl?Copy !req
162. Yeah, sure. She was
with him last night.Copy !req
163. They look pretty friendly?
He had his arm around her.Copy !req
164. And how accommodating
was the girl?Copy !req
165. Like a cat after five courses of
canary. Happy she made the short list.Copy !req
166. So it's the same routine
every night, different girl.Copy !req
167. Actually, he's had a regular.Copy !req
168. A tall blond with him
every other night this week.Copy !req
169. You got a name for the blond? We
don't keep track of our guests' guests.Copy !req
170. Let me explain something.Copy !req
171. This girl in the picture here
had a couple of belts in the bar.Copy !req
172. She's only 19.Copy !req
173. He could sue me for this.Copy !req
174. He called the same
four numbers every day.Copy !req
175. I got a feeling one
of them's a blond.Copy !req
176. Whenever he's in town, we
have drinks, dinner. What of it?Copy !req
177. We were just wondering, did he kiss you
on the cheek at the doorstep after dessert?Copy !req
178. What's this about?Copy !req
179. We found out that you spent six of
the last seven nights at his apartment.Copy !req
180. Then I'm sure you know exactly
where it was that he kissed me.Copy !req
181. And exactly what
of mine you can kiss.Copy !req
182. You guys don't look like Vice.Copy !req
183. Look like them? We don't
even know their phone number.Copy !req
184. Teddy Wayne, C-Square's manager, always
puts me together with the top people.Copy !req
185. You might call me an
entertainer's entertainer.Copy !req
186. So if he buys off the rack, you mean,
he never really knows what he's getting.Copy !req
187. Guys in C-Square's
stratosphere, they're sitting ducks...Copy !req
188. for people with bad
intentions and/or bad infections.Copy !req
189. Teddy looks out for him.Copy !req
190. I'm well compensated for a week's work
and everybody gets a good night's sleep.Copy !req
191. Yeah, all right. You got paid for a
week, but what happened to last night?Copy !req
192. C-Square was supposed
to pick me up at 5:00.Copy !req
193. 4:45 he calls, says
he made other plans.Copy !req
194. So I did the same.Copy !req
195. Tall drink of water.
Made me break a sweat.Copy !req
196. I wonder if she takes
charge cards. Here we go.Copy !req
197. Listen, if you
had a sure thing...Copy !req
198. you gonna cancel unless you
had someone waiting in the wings?Copy !req
199. You mean Julia? Not my
type. I like them a little dirty.Copy !req
200. Well, maybe C-Square
likes the smell of soap.Copy !req
201. What do you say we
ask her over to our place?Copy !req
202. I was trying to do something
nice for my brother.Copy !req
203. He's into heavy metal. I thought if I
could get him tickets to the Garden...Copy !req
204. So you go up to this
guy's hotel room?Copy !req
205. In my grandmother's day it
was etchings. You think I'm lying?Copy !req
206. Guy's a star. Who knows? A lot
of girls might consider you lucky.Copy !req
207. You think I would've gone up there
if I knew what he was gonna do?Copy !req
208. So you went up there
with no expectations.Copy !req
209. He's good-looking,
he's famous, rich.Copy !req
210. You weren't thinking, "Maybe I'll
see what it's like, just this once."Copy !req
211. Why does it matter what I
thought? He wouldn't let me leave.Copy !req
212. He grabbed me. He stuck
his tongue down my throat.Copy !req
213. You try to push him away?Copy !req
214. Do I have to do this?Copy !req
215. He didn't commit a Class A
felony with his tongue, Julia.Copy !req
216. You made a serious charge
here. This is part of the drill.Copy !req
217. I went into the bathroom.Copy !req
218. When I came out he was naked.Copy !req
219. He threw me down on the bed, pulled
up my skirt, tore my underwear off...Copy !req
220. You know what
happens. You're helpless.Copy !req
221. You just shut your eyes
and want it to be over.Copy !req
222. Julia, I'm gonna get a cup
of coffee. You need anything?Copy !req
223. Okay, give her a lift home.Copy !req
224. We dropping it? No.Copy !req
225. What? Did she slip
you a note in code?Copy !req
226. "Shut your eyes and want it to
be over"? That girl was raped.Copy !req
227. We're giving her facts. She's
giving us feminine intuition.Copy !req
228. At this rate, the precinct's budget's
gonna go swirling down the toilet.Copy !req
229. Since when are you
so fiscally responsible?Copy !req
230. Come on, a detective with
brains wouldn't pull this crap.Copy !req
231. Maybe the lady lieutenant's got
a take on this that we don't have.Copy !req
232. I mean, what the hell do we know
about what goes on in a girl's mind...Copy !req
233. when some guy's groping her?Copy !req
234. You're forgetting, his other
girlfriend said he was a pussycat.Copy !req
235. Yeah, but she's on the payroll.
We need somebody who isn't.Copy !req
236. How about a Mrs. C-Square?Copy !req
237. I hate to think of the
stories my exes would tell.Copy !req
238. Remember Different Colors?Copy !req
239. Clarence wrote that one for me.Copy !req
240. I guess those were better times.Copy !req
241. What changes? That boy
still likes his reruns, though.Copy !req
242. He comes into town and
it's the same old story.Copy !req
243. "Sharon, won't you
please come home."Copy !req
244. And what? You turn him
down? Well, that depends.Copy !req
245. I mean, I've been going
with this guy since I was 17.Copy !req
246. Married him two years later. Got
so, I don't know, I kind of like it.Copy !req
247. So what happened? You got tired
of life on the cover of Rolling Stone?Copy !req
248. Clarence has got one
large sexual appetite.Copy !req
249. Any reruns this trip?Copy !req
250. Andy, sweetie, why don't you
go inside for a little bit. Okay?Copy !req
251. Two nights ago, he comes over,
and he lays it on thick, like molasses.Copy !req
252. Dinner, flowers, you name it.Copy !req
253. Andy gets me up at 6:00. It's
after midnight. Maid's on vacation.Copy !req
254. How's Clarence take rejection?Copy !req
255. About the way Andy takes it when I
tell her she can't have her rocky road.Copy !req
256. Problem for Clarence, I
scream a lot louder than Andy.Copy !req
257. Well, it looks like C-Square's
sure thing wasn't Julia.Copy !req
258. Yeah. He's in heat, his ex turns him
down, he's already canceled his other date.Copy !req
259. Oh, well, that scenario happens
to me a couple of times a week.Copy !req
260. So it's too late to pick up the
local virgin down at the soda shop.Copy !req
261. He remembers Julia,
finds her address...Copy !req
262. And he and his hormones
head downtown in the limo?Copy !req
263. Yeah, but Julia said C-Square
was gonna give her money for a cab.Copy !req
264. Why do you take a cab
when you've got a limo?Copy !req
265. I'm on 24 per. Some nights I
sit downstairs, read the paper.Copy !req
266. How about last night?Copy !req
267. All right, so maybe I caught a
couple of z's. That against the law?Copy !req
268. How do you know C-Square
wasn't looking for you?Copy !req
269. Between me, you, and
the coffee pot, all right?Copy !req
270. My man's in for the night. So I
figure, what the hell, I'm not tired.Copy !req
271. Plenty of time to pick up some
fares. That's a no-no around here.Copy !req
272. How did you know he was
in for the night? He told me.Copy !req
273. Said to come by around
noon for breakfast.Copy !req
274. Thanks.Copy !req
275. He told us he
wanted to go dancing.Copy !req
276. If you send your limo home,
you ain't going dancing.Copy !req
277. Do I have to tell you 100 times?Copy !req
278. We went up to my room,
the girl jumped me. Okay?Copy !req
279. All right. Tell me this.Copy !req
280. If Julia jumped you...Copy !req
281. how come she was wearing all her
clothes and you were buck naked?Copy !req
282. Hey, whatever floats her boat.Copy !req
283. You know, I don't
think that's very funny.Copy !req
284. I got a strong feeling that the
only way you get any is to take it.Copy !req
285. You better be careful, man.Copy !req
286. You go too long, juices
back up, it makes you bonzo.Copy !req
287. Well, tell me this, Clarence, where
were you planning on going dancing?Copy !req
288. The girl said she wanted
to go to The Palladium.Copy !req
289. Well, what magic carpet
was gonna fly you there?Copy !req
290. See, that club's way downtown...Copy !req
291. and we know you told
your limo driver to pack it in.Copy !req
292. You want 100 names? 1,000?Copy !req
293. Look, if this Julia chick doesn't
want it, I pick up the phone and presto.Copy !req
294. I don't spend a night by myself, okay?
And there's no way I have to rape anyone.Copy !req
295. Well, unless she was a nice,
squeaky-clean, preppy girl.Copy !req
296. And there was Julia, right
in your bedroom. That's right.Copy !req
297. Tight young bod, pleated skirt.
Hey, should have been there, man.Copy !req
298. What's the problem?Copy !req
299. The problem is, she
told you to hit the brakes.Copy !req
300. You still don't get it, do
you, man? I'm C-Square.Copy !req
301. This piece of cheese thinks
the world owes him something.Copy !req
302. Yeah, a lot of
women would agree.Copy !req
303. I mean, he says his black
book's into quadruple digits.Copy !req
304. If any of these women
told him to stop...Copy !req
305. do you think he's the
kind of guy who'd listen?Copy !req
306. I think he's been standing too
close to his speakers for too long.Copy !req
307. These rock 'n' rollers
are a traveling menagerie.Copy !req
308. You try talking to any of them?Copy !req
309. Hey, you're on the gravy train,
you don't shoot the conductor.Copy !req
310. What's the manager's
name? Teddy Wayne.Copy !req
311. He said he took over C-Square's
career two years ago. Right?Copy !req
312. The guy's been on the
charts for what, five years?Copy !req
313. Maybe the guy who had the privilege
of managing C-Square before Wayne...Copy !req
314. might feel like he got raped.Copy !req
315. Ungrateful bastard.Copy !req
316. He'd still be bussing tables
here if it wasn't for me.Copy !req
317. A lot of guys forget the people
they met on the way up the ladder.Copy !req
318. I'm not talking about
birthday cards, Detective.Copy !req
319. I got him his first record deal.Copy !req
320. I had him signed to a 10-year
contract to manage him.Copy !req
321. And what happened? Teddy
Wayne's what happened.Copy !req
322. Tells Clarence I'm
screwing up his career.Copy !req
323. 10% of $100 million should
be in my money market...Copy !req
324. and for that I'd have
looked out for him.Copy !req
325. You think this girl's on the up-and-up?
We're looking for confirmation.Copy !req
326. It was about six months after
Clarence left me, he comes in here.Copy !req
327. He's in trouble, see,
so he comes back to me.Copy !req
328. Some girl in Passaic accused
him of some very nasty things.Copy !req
329. He's scared. He sees the
whole thing slipping away.Copy !req
330. I remember her name.
McCartney. No relation.Copy !req
331. Got to the stadium at
4:00 a.m. on a Monday...Copy !req
332. slept on the sidewalk till
Wednesday to get tickets.Copy !req
333. I was 18. I was crazy. I
hope you got good seats.Copy !req
334. Eighth row.Copy !req
335. Right after the first break, one
of the roadies slips me a note.Copy !req
336. C-Square wants to buy
me dinner after the show.Copy !req
337. That's an offer you
couldn't refuse, right?Copy !req
338. Refuse? 50,000
people, he chose me?Copy !req
339. I was in heaven.Copy !req
340. Let me guess, C-Square had a nice,
full refrigerator back at his hotel suite.Copy !req
341. - We ordered pizzas.
- Just the two of you?Copy !req
342. I thought we were gonna
eat. He was all over me.Copy !req
343. He got rough. I kept saying,
"Hey, stop. I don't want to."Copy !req
344. It didn't make a difference.Copy !req
345. That's called rape,
Tina. I talked to the D.A.Copy !req
346. He said I could prosecute
if I wanted to but...Copy !req
347. You know. No, no, we don't know.Copy !req
348. Did you take the D.A.'s
advice? Maybe I did lead him on.Copy !req
349. Anyway, I got the
money. Money, how?Copy !req
350. C-Square's manager
gave me $10,000.Copy !req
351. Said he was sorry for
the misunderstanding.Copy !req
352. There's at least one
other victim out there.Copy !req
353. It happened the
same way as with Julia.Copy !req
354. Girl goes up to his room willingly
and he's only got one thing on his mind.Copy !req
355. It shows predisposition.
Which isn't admissible in court.Copy !req
356. Well, how many rapists you know
are gonna rent out Shea Stadium?Copy !req
357. We're not gonna
find any witnesses.Copy !req
358. It's not so much that I believe
her as I don't believe him.Copy !req
359. Call it my male
intuition. Pick him up.Copy !req
360. Clarence Carmichael. Okay,
you got me. I shot the sheriff.Copy !req
361. But the deputy, I swear,
that was some other dude.Copy !req
362. I just love rock 'n' roll.Copy !req
363. Clarence Carmichael, you're under
arrest for the rape of Julia Wood.Copy !req
364. You have the right
to remain silent.Copy !req
365. You have the right
to kiss my ass...Copy !req
366. Just keep quiet, Clarence.
This is harassment. False arrest.Copy !req
367. You'll hear from our lawyers.Copy !req
368. Oh, no. Not the lawyers.
I'm scared. You scared, Mike?Copy !req
369. I'm shaking in my
blue suede shoes.Copy !req
370. Bye, honey.Copy !req
371. "Docket number 679073.Copy !req
372. "People versus Clarence Carmichael.
Charge is rape in the first degree."Copy !req
373. Nice place you got here, Judge.Copy !req
374. How do you plead? Not guilty.Copy !req
375. Not guilty.Copy !req
376. What do the People have to say?
People request bail of $250,000.Copy !req
377. Ms. Diamond? That's
fine, Your Honor.Copy !req
378. There's no business
like show business. Next.Copy !req
379. See you later. See you later.Copy !req
380. Ms. Diamond? Claire Kincaid.Copy !req
381. Yes, Ms. Kincaid.Copy !req
382. This side of the
table's a long way...Copy !req
383. from the doctrine you presented
in your Harvard lectures.Copy !req
384. Not when your side
confuses feminism...Copy !req
385. with destroying a man's
life for money and publicity.Copy !req
386. It's time we turned in our passivity
and took more responsibility for our lives.Copy !req
387. That's the feminism
I lecture about now.Copy !req
388. She's one of the top
defense lawyers in the city.Copy !req
389. A judicial conference this early
in the case doesn't make sense.Copy !req
390. No papers. She probably just wants
to go over the parameters of discovery.Copy !req
391. Adele Diamond? I wish
life were that simple.Copy !req
392. Recuse myself?Copy !req
393. I put on my robes, I
leave my politics behind.Copy !req
394. In five years no one's ever
even hinted that I've been biased.Copy !req
395. This is ridiculous,
Adele. Half the peopleCopy !req
396. sitting on the bench
are former A.D.A.'s...Copy !req
397. and most of them
have prosecuted rapes.Copy !req
398. Is everybody through?Copy !req
399. And it isn't your politics I object
to, Your Honor. It's your genealogy.Copy !req
400. This better be good, Counselor.Copy !req
401. Specifically, one Gary Bergman.
I believe he's your nephew.Copy !req
402. My husband's sister's oldest. I
haven't seen him since his bar mitzvah.Copy !req
403. He's also a limited partner in a
restaurant in L.A. called The Amp.Copy !req
404. We're talking about a
rape trial 3,000 miles away.Copy !req
405. What influence could
that possibly have?Copy !req
406. If you'll let me finish, Miss...
Kincaid. Claire Kincaid.Copy !req
407. The Amp has been losing
money hand over fist...Copy !req
408. and the limited partners have
filed suit against the general partner.Copy !req
409. Let me guess. The
general partner is your client.Copy !req
410. Clarence is scared that
you'll hold it against him...Copy !req
411. and I can hardly
say I blame him.Copy !req
412. No, Adele, you're scared of
having a woman hear this case.Copy !req
413. Nonsense, Ben.Copy !req
414. This connection is so
tenuous, Your Honor...Copy !req
415. no bar committee in the world
could fault you for continuing.Copy !req
416. Unfortunately, it's the appearance
of impropriety I must deal with.Copy !req
417. Your motion is granted,
Counselor. I'm off the case.Copy !req
418. My clerk will draw up
the papers after lunch.Copy !req
419. I thought they had laws
intended to shield us.Copy !req
420. Someone tipped off the tabloids.Copy !req
421. They prefer to publish today, worry
about the consequences tomorrow.Copy !req
422. Mr. Stone. Mr. Wood and Julia.Copy !req
423. How do you do? Ms.
Wood. Please be seated.Copy !req
424. Julia and I have been over it.Copy !req
425. Backwards and forwards, and
there is only one conclusion.Copy !req
426. To pursue this matter any further
is not in my daughter's best interest.Copy !req
427. Ms. Wood, I can't put
myself in your position.Copy !req
428. But I can sympathize.Copy !req
429. A rape trial can
be very painful.Copy !req
430. But balancing the
bad and the good...Copy !req
431. Good?Copy !req
432. Reporters are already
camping on my front lawn.Copy !req
433. They're going through my
garbage. I can't live like that.Copy !req
434. Your daughter was the victim of a
Class A felony, Mr. Wood. Not you.Copy !req
435. This will become the central
fact of her life for much too long.Copy !req
436. Ms. Wood...Copy !req
437. I will do everything in my power
to protect your privacy in the future.Copy !req
438. I'm sorry. I just can't do it.Copy !req
439. It was the father's decision, Adam. I
doubt if the daughter was even consulted.Copy !req
440. Yeah, well, it's for the best. You'll
have a hell of a time explaining...Copy !req
441. what that girl was doing
in his room after midnight.Copy !req
442. But does the 70-year-old mugging
victim have to explain why...Copy !req
443. he was riding alone
on a subway at night?Copy !req
444. Well, it'd make our job easier.Copy !req
445. Of course it would. We
wouldn't have any more victims.Copy !req
446. I don't want regret
prosecuted as rape.Copy !req
447. She told him to stop, Adam.Copy !req
448. Yeah. I tell my grandson:Copy !req
449. "Your mother doesn't
want you eating any candy."Copy !req
450. And then I leave him alone in
a room with a jar full of M&Ms.Copy !req
451. Julia Wood is not a piece of candy,
Adam. To Clarence Carmichael she is.Copy !req
452. And that's why we
should pursue it.Copy !req
453. Yes, come in.Copy !req
454. You'd better read this.Copy !req
455. "Julia Wood, the co-ed claiming to
have been raped by rocker C-Square...Copy !req
456. "reportedly told her
roommates earlier that day...Copy !req
457. "that it was a crime how much
money the singer earned...Copy !req
458. "and that his ex-wife deserved all the
millions she received in the divorce."Copy !req
459. Well, that's just great.Copy !req
460. We can forget about a deal.Copy !req
461. Between her father and the media,
no wonder she's running for cover.Copy !req
462. All I want to know is
was she, in fact, raped?Copy !req
463. And if she was? Well,
I'll get her into court.Copy !req
464. I think you might scare
her. You're probably right.Copy !req
465. You talk to her.Copy !req
466. I just want to be left alone. Why
can't anyone understand that?Copy !req
467. You mean, you never
thought about his money?Copy !req
468. My father dragged
me to a lawyer's office.Copy !req
469. You hired an attorney? I
talked to him. I never hired him.Copy !req
470. I was raped.Copy !req
471. Do you actually think that any amount
of money will make that go away?Copy !req
472. You must have read what your
roommate told the newspapers.Copy !req
473. You know the impression
that gives. Of course I read it.Copy !req
474. That reporter put words in her
mouth. It made me feel like a whore.Copy !req
475. You can't tell me
you've never been there.Copy !req
476. Some guy has his hand
in your... And he won't stop.Copy !req
477. What's the use?Copy !req
478. You don't even believe
me. I do believe you.Copy !req
479. That's the problem.Copy !req
480. You know, Julia, if you
don't pursue this, he wins.Copy !req
481. And you'll always
feel like a whore.Copy !req
482. I examined Ms. Wood within
two hours of the alleged rape.Copy !req
483. What were the results
of your examination?Copy !req
484. I found semen. There were hematomas
on her upper arms and shoulders.Copy !req
485. Vaginal bruising.Copy !req
486. And based on this examination,
what conclusion did you reach?Copy !req
487. The physical evidence and
her psychological demeanor...Copy !req
488. during the several hours following
her admission are consistent with rape.Copy !req
489. Thank you.Copy !req
490. "Her psychological
demeanor." I see.Copy !req
491. The patient was in
shock, was she? No.Copy !req
492. She was screaming
hysterically? No.Copy !req
493. I don't understand, Doctor.Copy !req
494. What psychological
demeanor are you referring to?Copy !req
495. She was depressed,
listless, uncommunicative.Copy !req
496. Let's put Ms. Wood's psychological
demeanor aside for a moment.Copy !req
497. Judging from the
physical evidence alone...Copy !req
498. could you say beyond any
reasonable doubt that she was raped...Copy !req
499. as opposed to engaging
in enthusiastic intercourse?Copy !req
500. No.Copy !req
501. As soon as we got to his suite,
his whole attitude changed.Copy !req
502. Julia, could you speak
a little louder, please?Copy !req
503. He became, I don't know, crude.Copy !req
504. Like I was just
there to be used.Copy !req
505. It turned me off.Copy !req
506. So what did you do?Copy !req
507. I said it was late and
I was going home...Copy !req
508. but he grabbed me and
said I wasn't going anywhere.Copy !req
509. He started groping at my
blouse. He ripped a button.Copy !req
510. I asked him to stop.Copy !req
511. And did he listen?Copy !req
512. He laughed.Copy !req
513. I pulled away and went into the bathroom
and locked the door. I was shaking.Copy !req
514. I don't know, maybe 10
minutes later, it was quiet.Copy !req
515. So I thought maybe
he'd left or passed out.Copy !req
516. So you came out
into the bedroom?Copy !req
517. He was naked.Copy !req
518. He was mad because I
still had my clothes on.Copy !req
519. He threw me down on the bed.Copy !req
520. Did you say anything when
he did that? I said, "No."Copy !req
521. Continue, please.Copy !req
522. He forced my legs
open. He was so strong.Copy !req
523. Then he was inside me.Copy !req
524. Thank you, Julia.Copy !req
525. When he grabbed you and tried to
unbutton your blouse, did you scream?Copy !req
526. No.Copy !req
527. Did you call for help? I thought
he would hurt me. I was scared.Copy !req
528. But you had enough presence
of mind to go into the bathroom.Copy !req
529. I just wanted him
to leave me alone.Copy !req
530. Tell me, Julia,
why didn't you...Copy !req
531. pick up the telephone on the wall
next to the toilet and call for help?Copy !req
532. I didn't think. I don't know.Copy !req
533. Isn't it true, Julia, that you got a thrill
out of being with a famous rock star?Copy !req
534. Yes.Copy !req
535. Enough to fantasize
about sleeping with him?Copy !req
536. What I thought doesn't make a difference.
I begged him to stop and he didn't.Copy !req
537. Very dramatic, Julia.Copy !req
538. Tell me, has anyone from
the media approached you...Copy !req
539. about selling your
rights to this story?Copy !req
540. Yes, but I won't talk to them.Copy !req
541. Have you been in touch
with any lawyers or agents...Copy !req
542. who told you how much you might
make as a result of these allegations?Copy !req
543. No.Copy !req
544. No further questions.Copy !req
545. She perjured herself. Lied
about talking to a lawyer.Copy !req
546. Yeah.Copy !req
547. If you were
sufficiently informed...Copy !req
548. to recognize the
girl's perjury...Copy !req
549. why weren't you sufficiently
prepared to prevent it?Copy !req
550. I just found out myself.Copy !req
551. Julia told me about
it before the trial.Copy !req
552. You didn't think you
ought to tell somebody?Copy !req
553. She told me that her father
brought her to the lawyer's office.Copy !req
554. She swore that
she didn't retain him.Copy !req
555. I didn't think it was relevant to whether
or not she was raped. I still don't.Copy !req
556. Yeah. Did you notify Diamond?Copy !req
557. She's already planning
her acquittal party.Copy !req
558. We can't afford these mistakes.Copy !req
559. I'm very sorry.
I'm sure you are.Copy !req
560. We came forward as soon as
we learned about the perjury.Copy !req
561. There is no ethical violation.Copy !req
562. Don't you think we can
rationalize Julia's lie to the jury?Copy !req
563. Ms. Kincaid...Copy !req
564. my immediate concern is something
altogether different from that.Copy !req
565. Specifically, being able to
trust the people that I work with.Copy !req
566. You have the right
to be angry. Okay.Copy !req
567. I made a mistake and I'm
ready to take the heat for it.Copy !req
568. But I resent the implication
that I breached your trust.Copy !req
569. I'm not interested in what
you resent, Ms. Kincaid.Copy !req
570. I think it would be wise if you
requested a change of assignment...Copy !req
571. immediately after
Mr. Carmichael is acquitted.Copy !req
572. Fine.Copy !req
573. Ms. Wood, yesterday
I asked you...Copy !req
574. if you had the occasion
to speak with a lawyer...Copy !req
575. about any commercial
aspects of this case.Copy !req
576. Do you remember that? Yes.Copy !req
577. And how did you answer
the question? I said I didn't.Copy !req
578. I see. Was that the truth? No.Copy !req
579. So you lied to this
court, is that correct?Copy !req
580. All I did was speak to a lawyer.
It doesn't mean I wasn't raped.Copy !req
581. I see. And is that the
story you'd like to stick with?Copy !req
582. Maybe this will help you decide.Copy !req
583. Do you recognize this?Copy !req
584. Ms. Wood.Copy !req
585. It's a retainer
agreement with a lawyer.Copy !req
586. And whose signature
is that at the bottom?Copy !req
587. It's mine.Copy !req
588. Newspapers, television,
they wouldn't leave us alone.Copy !req
589. My father thought we
needed someone to protect us.Copy !req
590. To deal with the reporters.Copy !req
591. Books, movies of the week...Copy !req
592. and the mother
of all jackpots...Copy !req
593. a civil suit after you already
have a conviction in your pocket.Copy !req
594. It's better than the
lottery, isn't it, Julia?Copy !req
595. Why are you doing this to me?Copy !req
596. It's not me, Julia. You sold
yourself for a wink and a prayer.Copy !req
597. Redirect, Mr. Stone?Copy !req
598. No, Your Honor.Copy !req
599. They're always all over me
after concerts. Backstage.Copy !req
600. I can't even walk down the
street. She was no different.Copy !req
601. In what way is she like
the others, Clarence?Copy !req
602. I talked to her for maybe five
minutes. She came up to my room.Copy !req
603. When did she say
she didn't want sex?Copy !req
604. She didn't. She didn't say anything
when I started with her blouse.Copy !req
605. Is this the shirt she
was wearing? Yeah.Copy !req
606. And was it buttoned
clear up to the top button?Copy !req
607. No, it was only closed up to
this one, the one that came off.Copy !req
608. The third one from the top.Copy !req
609. Look, I'm telling
you, she wanted me.Copy !req
610. I know what happened in that
room. There's no way I raped her.Copy !req
611. Mr. C-Square...Copy !req
612. did Julia Wood ever tell you...Copy !req
613. that she wanted to have sex?Copy !req
614. She was definitely
putting out a scent, yeah.Copy !req
615. By coming to your
room? That's right.Copy !req
616. So that any woman
coming into your room...Copy !req
617. is implicitly consenting to sex?Copy !req
618. They don't come for
the view, that's for sure.Copy !req
619. Look, any time of the week, I go to a
club and I come home with any lady I want.Copy !req
620. And do you make love to
all of them? That's what I do.Copy !req
621. Do you recognize this? Sure,
it's the words to one of my songs.Copy !req
622. Objection, it's irrelevant. It
goes to state of mind, Your Honor.Copy !req
623. Then it's overly prejudicial
and inflammatory.Copy !req
624. The witness has sold millions of albums,
Ms. Diamond. How prejudicial can it be?Copy !req
625. All right, you can
proceed, Mr. Stone.Copy !req
626. I'd like the court clerk to
read the highlighted portion.Copy !req
627. "One more time, on the kitchen floor.
Your tank's on empty but I want more.Copy !req
628. "I get what I want, it's a one-way
trip. You ain't my lady, you my bitch."Copy !req
629. That's all, your honor.Copy !req
630. A man and a woman,
both young, both attractive...Copy !req
631. retire to a hotel
room after midnight.Copy !req
632. Throw in the fact that the
man is a famous musician...Copy !req
633. talented and wealthy
beyond anyone's dreams.Copy !req
634. And what do you think is
going to happen in that room?Copy !req
635. Now, Ms. Wood admitted that she
had a little bit of sex on the brain.Copy !req
636. She went up to
Mr. Carmichael's room.Copy !req
637. She unbuttoned her blouse
and showed a bit of cleavage.Copy !req
638. What was he supposed to think?Copy !req
639. Well, exactly what
you must be thinking...Copy !req
640. that she wanted it as much,
if not more, than he did.Copy !req
641. Now, we all want to believe a
woman when she says she said no.Copy !req
642. But how can we believe her...Copy !req
643. after she lied intentionally...Copy !req
644. in this courtroom, under oath.Copy !req
645. She says she lied
because she was scared.Copy !req
646. But the evidence
shows that she lied...Copy !req
647. because she wanted to take advantage
of my client's wealth and fame...Copy !req
648. and didn't want
you to know about it.Copy !req
649. Ms. Wood may have said no.Copy !req
650. Unfortunately, she said it a day
too late, and that doesn't count.Copy !req
651. Yes. Julia Wood...Copy !req
652. willingly joined
Mr. C-Square in his limo.Copy !req
653. And, yes, she willingly
went up to his hotel room.Copy !req
654. And, yes, she even thought
of having sex with him.Copy !req
655. But to give her the
benefit of the doubt...Copy !req
656. Mr. Clarence "C-Square"
Carmichael is rich...Copy !req
657. and to some people in this
courtroom, he's attractive.Copy !req
658. And, of course,
he's world-famous.Copy !req
659. But Julia Wood did not ask...Copy !req
660. to be thrown down on the bed.Copy !req
661. She did not ask...Copy !req
662. to have her legs pried open.Copy !req
663. She did not ask to
be pinned down...Copy !req
664. and forcibly penetrated.Copy !req
665. Julia Wood said no.Copy !req
666. And whatever expectations she
had going up to that hotel suite...Copy !req
667. once she got there, she changed
her mind. And that's her right.Copy !req
668. But in Mr. C-Square's world...Copy !req
669. a woman's rights are
of no consequence.Copy !req
670. Sex is an entitlement
of his stardom.Copy !req
671. Julia Wood...Copy !req
672. ain't a lady.Copy !req
673. She a bitch, an amusement.Copy !req
674. To be held prisoner...Copy !req
675. and used until he decides
that he's through with her.Copy !req
676. In our country, one of
the fundamental rights...Copy !req
677. is the right of any
of us to say no.Copy !req
678. We do it in our religion.
We do it in our politics.Copy !req
679. And in our workplace.Copy !req
680. And in our world, when a woman
says no and a man ignores her...Copy !req
681. that's rape in the first degree.Copy !req
682. - Have you reached a verdict?
- We have, Your Honor.Copy !req
683. On the sole count
of the indictment...Copy !req
684. rape in the first degree,
how do you find?Copy !req
685. We find the defendant,
Clarence Carmichael, guilty.Copy !req
686. I'm preparing a calendar
of pending cases.Copy !req
687. I'll forward it to
your secretary.Copy !req
688. For all the problems we had, I do want
to thank you for a learning experience.Copy !req
689. These working
relationships they can be...Copy !req
690. very difficult. I
remember one assistant...Copy !req
691. he stapled an internal memo to
a document that he then sent...Copy !req
692. to defendant's counsel
and that case was lost.Copy !req
693. I thought it was a
career-ender but they...Copy !req
694. They gave me another chance.Copy !req
695. So, see you in the morning?Copy !req
