"I'll take this circus any day." " Mr. Dekker." "Are you aware the aclu came out" "And supported your motion today?" " What can I say, kathleen?" "The aclu sometimes gets it right." "Our argument's simple, your honor." "The defense department has no jurisdiction" "Over t defendants." "They're american citizen who violated california law." " And committed treason against the United States." " That charge is just a device" "To hijack the defendants out of our jurisdiction." " It's no device, and it's not unprecedented."

"He's represented hamas, the plo." "He's gonna turn this into a terrorist pep rally." " I will handle it." " How?" "By gagging him, hmm?" "You know, I'm doing my best to convince myself" "That you haven't put your personal ambitions" "Over the interests of this office." " Bring the jury in for opening statements." " One moment, your honor." "The people are dismissing all charges" "Related to the conspiracy to bomb l.A.X." "We're trying each defendant on two counts of murder." "That's it." "No terrorism case." " How can they do this, your honor?" " I don't see why you're complaining, mr." "Garfield." "Your clients are facing fewer charges." "Let's get on with it." " This trial is not about terrorism," "Politics, or ideology." "It's about two little kids from sylmar," "Billy and nikki miller," "Who were incinerated when these men" "Tried to murder a drug dealer named ronnie powell." "The evidence will show that with malice and intent," "They caused the explosion" "That killed these innocent children." "That's it." " Mr. Garfield, are you ready to open?" " Yes, judge." "My clients are on trial because they tried" "To wake this country up to the fact that" "Our government is killing innocent muslim women" "And children in our name." "We will prove that what the state calls terrorism" "Are acts of self-defense." " Objection." "They are not charged with terroristic acts." " Sustained." "Mr. Garfield, limit your statement" "To the murder charges." " We will prove that these murder charges" "Are nothing but an attempt to distract" "The american public from the true murderers," "The drone operators who-- - objection, your honor!" " Sustained." "Mr. Garfield." "Since you have nothing more pertinent to say" "About the charges, let's get to some testimony." " I pulled into ronnie's driveway" "With billy and nikki in the back." "I parked up against the garage door" "And I told my kids that I'd be back in a few minutes." " And what happened next, mrs." "Miller?" " I was in the house with ronnie" "And we heard an explosion that shook the whole house." "And I, I ran outside." "And my car was burning..." "And my babies were inside and I ran over," "But there was nothing I could do." " Thank you." " My sincere condolences." "Mrs. Miller, you would have done anything" "To save your babies, isn't that right?" " Yes." " Committed any act," "No matter how shocking, to spare them?" " Yes." " So if someone else committed a shocking act" "To save other children-- - objection, your honor." "He's defying your ruling." " Sustained." " Ronnie found out that we used his name" "To buy supplies on the internet." "He told me he wanted money or he'd make trouble for terry." " So what did you do?" " I told terry." "The next day, he had me go into home depot" "And buy two gallons of denatured alcohol." " And what did you do with this alcohol?" " I gave it to terry." "A few days later, we went to see ronnie." "Terry apologized to him" "And promised him some money." "To patch things up, he brought some lamb chops" "To barbecue." "I was in the backyard cooking with ronnie." "I went looking for terry." "I found him in the garage." "He was pouring the alcohol into a pot" "That ronnie had set up on a hot plate." " What, if anything, did he say?" " Terry said he was making sure that ronnie" "Couldn't make drugs anymore." "He told me not to tell ronnie." "He told me if I loved him, I had to obey him." "He fooled me into believing that he loved me" "And that we were gonna get married." "And the whole time he was just using me." " Thank you." "Your witness." " I have a photo marked defense 4," "Taken by the police of a drawer" "In mr." "Walker's rv." "Amy, could you, uh," "Tell us what you see in the corner?" " Oh, my god." "It's a ring." "An engagement ring." " Now, amy, you testified" "That terry instructed you to buy denatured alcohol." " No." "That was a lie." "I did it on my own." " And you testified that you saw terry" "Pouring the alcohol in ronnie's meth lab." " No, no." "I did it." "It was all my idea." "Terry had nothing to do with it." " So why did you lie about it earlier?" " I..." "I didn't want to get the death penalty." "I'm sorry for what happened to those little children." "It was all my fault." " Nothing further." " Amy." "Who instructed you to use your brother's name" "To buy fuel to make a bomb?" " Objection." "I thought this trial wasn't about a terrorist plot." " He's right, mr." "Deer." "You set the ground rules here." "Sustained." " Amy, before you became terry's fiancee," "You had to convert to islam, correct?" " Yes." " A very strict form of islam, correct?" " Yes." " You learned what was expected of you" "As a good conservative muslim wife, right?" " Yes, I did." " You learned that you had to obey" "Your future husband." "And to seek his approval before making" "Any important decisions, correct?" " I was happy to give myself to him." " You had to ask his permission" "Before buying a piece of furniture." " Yes." " Going on a trip." " Yes." " Killing your brother." "Isn't that an important decision?" "Wouldn't a good wife ask her husband's permission" "Before doing such a thing?" "You wanted to be a good wife, amy." "So you got terry's permission" "Before trying to kill ronnie, correct?" " He asked you a question, miss powell." " It's all right, your honor." "She doesn't have to answer." "[slaps down folder on desk]" " Whatever your feelings about amy powell," "Whether pity or contempt," "Her testimony raises reasonable doubt." "And if that's not reason enough to acquit my clients," "Let me give you another more compelling one." "You were denied your right as a jury" "To hear all the evidence." "Mr. Dekker prevented you from hearing evidence" "That my clients were motivated by the killing" "Of muslim innocents" "By collateral damage from american artillery." "American predator drones." "American hellfire missiles." "None of these defendants got a fair trial." "And for that reason alone," "You should acquit them." " About some things, there can be no doubt." "There's no doubt that amy powell" "Is a woman whose loneliness makes her prey" "To those with evil intent." "There's no doubt that by whatever instrument," "Terry walker is responsible for that explosion" "At ronnie powell's house." "And finally..." "There is no doubt about this." "The taking of innocent lives is never justified," "Whether it happens in a valley in pakistan" "Or in a valley ten miles north of this courtroom." "And it is only right and proper" "That someone speak for these innocent victims." "Today you can speak for two of them..." "Speak in a single and clear voice" "That will pierce the fog of fanaticism" "And self-righteousness." "And as pure an expression of our justice system" "As this trial has been," "It still needs you to put the final piece in place." "Murder is murder." "Let everyone watching this trial know it." " As to count one, the death of billy miller," "How do you find?" " We find the defendants guilty of murder" "In the first degree." " As to count two," "The death of nikki miller, how do you find?" " Guilty of murder in the first degree." " You think that's gonna stop us?" " Take him out." " There's more of us where we came from!" " Take him out!" " Look around." "We're everywhere!" "The message is coming!" "The message is coming!" "The message is coming!" "We're everywhere!" "We will be coming!" " I just want to thank you for everything." " Just so you know, it may be years" "Before they face execution, but you wi get a call," "And as the family of the victims," "You'll be invited to witness" " No, that's all right." "Kim and me, we're not interested." "We've seen enough." "Thank you."
