"But your fingerprints are in his apartment, Mr. St. Patrick." "How can we believe you?" "Your Honor, we know what, a murder." "We know who, the defendant." "We know where and when." "And now... [sliding paper]" "We know why, because you were paid," "Mr. St. Patrick." "Because a good businessman always holds up his end of the deal." "I didn't kill Greg!" "SILVER:" "Your Honor, this speculative rant by the prosecution has no bearing on the matter at hand and should be stricken from the record." "No further questions, Your Honor." "Although, I am curious, how does the defendant know the victim well enough to call him "Greg"?" " SILVER:" "Your Honor..." " Withdrawn." "[dark music]" "♪" "TAPPER:" "Mr. St. Patrick, you can step down." "And if the defense has no further witnesses," "I will make my ruling on the check being admitted into evidence tomorrow morning."

"Isn't it your fucking job to make sure that that doesn't happen?" "You let him call me a fucking murderer in front of my family?" "We knew this was a possibility with you on the stand." "We took a swing and we missed." "All we can do now is prepare for the realities of trial." "I'll be bringing on some more associates from my firm to help assist with the case." "Yeah, well, let's hope they're better than you." "SILVER:" "We'll need forensic experts to conduct tests and testify, private investigators to find all of the evidence that the FBI chose to ignore." "All of this costs money." "I don't think I can afford it." "You're gonna have to find a way." "The media attention is also going to increase." "Right now, the Feds think that they have a cop-killer on the ropes, and they are going to increase the pressure on your family until all of this is over with." "And we're gonna have to lean on them, especially as character witnesses for the penalty phase, if the jury does, in fact, convict." "[somber music]" "♪" "You think we can win?"

"You ain't gotta talk to me like that, man." "And your beautiful wife, wow." "It ain't gonna take long for her to find another nigga to come dig that pussy out." "Maybe even a nigga with a badge."

"SILVER:" "Your Honor, AUSA Valdes is going to testify to a repeated pattern of prosecutorial misconduct throughout this case, due to institutional bias against Mr. St. Patrick."

"That he wasn't going to turn the tapes over to you because it shone a bad light on the prosecution." "I also reported doubts about Mr. St. Patrick's guilt to John Mak, who, in turn, ensured that I was formally kept out of strategy on the case."

"I'm just curious why you're not including yourself on that list?" "I violated no Brady Rules while working this case." "Oh, I'm not talking about this case." "I'm talking about your personal relationship with the defendant, your sexual relationship, and how it led to him stealing evidence from your home and afforded him access to classified information about Felipe Lobos, including the fact that he was still alive." "Miss Valdes, is all of this true?" "♪" "Miss Valdes, I asked you a question." "It's true, Your Honor." "Your Honor, AUSA Cooper Saxe has just brought to my attention that after speaking to the CSI tech that coded Mr. St. Patrick's fingerprints, it appears that Miss Valdes admitted those into evidence 24 hours later than he originally stated in his report." "Your Honor, I can't deny what John is saying..." "It's..." "I've heard enough." "The allegations suggested today are the most egregious that I have ever heard." "Your blatant disregard for the oath you took as an officer of the court is appalling." " Thank you, Your Honor." " I am not finished, Mr. Mak." "You and Mr. Sandoval, you stand there, pointing your finger at Miss Valdes, but you failed to acknowledge that all of these lapses in judgment happened on your watch!" "Is what she said true?" "Your Honor, it is..." "Mr. Silver... the prosecution's willful misconduct was improper and conducted in bad faith." "I see no alternative but to dismiss the charges against the defendant."
