" Passionate, l-loyal." " Intense." "Sexy." " Never admits he's wrong." "Charlie, what's your fondest memory of Jerry Kellerman?" "The night after the bar exam, I saw him, uh..." "Who did you say is gonna see this?" "My bad." "That's not the first thing that comes to mind." " Okay, then what is?" " The hair!" "The long, flowing locks of Jerry Kellerman." "Oh, my god." "I remember when I first came to interview with him." "I was like, "okay, I'm getting grilled by the Unabomber."" "Sorry. hello?" "Oh, jerry, it's the '90s." "They want their hairstyle back." "You know who he looks like?" "That singer -- what's his name?" " Yanni?" " Nah." " Tiny Tim!" " Dude, you are an officer of the court." "Cut that na" "I almost said, "cut that nasty [bleep]"" "It looks like his hair fell on him from out of a tree." "Like a muskrat died on his head." "Long and wrong." "So not gay." "Speech!" "speech!" "speech!" "speech!" "Say something!" "Every day, my clients get put away on bogus charges." "Families are destroyed." "People are robbed of their future." "But let me tell you " "The biggest indictment of our justice system is you guys spending your free time on me and my hair." "So all I can say is, "I love you, too."" "Happy birthday!" "Oh, brother, I'm gonna kick your ass up and down the courtroom this week." "A year older, yet no wiser." "Happy birthday." "Happy birthday." "Hey, happy birthday, Jer." " 33." "Does it feel different?" " I don't know." "Should it?" "I'm not the one wearing the wig." "Well, I like to think of birthdays as new beginnings." " Hmm, re-birth days." " Yeah, that's -- that's corny." "Inspiring." "I'm thinking maybe I'll head back to the cabin," "Throw together a few letter bombs, and work on my manifesto." "Good luck with that." "So I'm not gonna get a retraction on the Unabomber comment?" "Nope. the new Gilardi does not respond to guilt." "You know, I, uh..." "Sort of liked the old Gilardi." "You'll like this one better." "What do you say I take you to dinner tomorrow night?" "Sounds great." "Happy birthday, Jerry." "I don't want to be a babysitter." "But sometimes I wonder how many of you understand What the hell we're doing here." "Acd's, deal downs, treatment court, sure. great." "There's a time and place for all of it, but our job is to protect the community." "Incarceration is the best weapon we have," "So let me be clear " "From now on, mercy goes through me." "And I don't want to hear about your schedules." "We fight from the ground up." "So if you're not buried in crap, there's a problem." "You keep your heads down, work your cases, and stick to the hard line." "I don't want to have to say it again." "For those of you who did not get a candy bar, get your résumé together." "There's another box in the kitchen." "Okay." "Moving on to the fun stuff." "The NYPD's new antidrug initiative is called "operation close the door."" "Screw the poor!" "Did I say that out loud?" "Police presence in any area deemed by the NYPD As being frequented by minors " "Schools, parks, projects, et cetera -- Will double, with around-the-clock patrols." "So the surge in misdemeanor drug arrests is coming, along with a bump in your case loads." "I was just getting used to hopelessly overwhelmed." " We need another body, at least." "Yeah." " Well, we've got one." "Starting today, I'll be picking up cases of my own to help lighten the load, and I have got to get to court." " Thanks, everybody." " See ya." "Eric." "How long, uh, have you been standing there?" "Long enough to see you didn't get no candy bar." "You slippin' on me, Jerry?" "I think I'm past my prime, brother." "You're early." "What's going on?" "Well, I didn't mean to bust in on y'all's strategy session, but this came on my door this morning." "Oh, come on." "Uh, it's an order to show cause." " The D.A. is trying to evict you from the shop." " Before my trial?" " I'm supposed to be presumed innocent." " Yeah, right." "Except in this case, you're sort of presumed guilty." "See, the D.A.'s whole thing is based on the idea that since you run the barber shop, you must have known" " That your nephew was storing his crack there." " But I didn't." "And I think I can refute the presumption in court." "We got a little bit of time." "I'll see what I can do about this." "See, the D.A., they're afraid they're gonna lose," "So they're gonna do everything they can" " To make your life miserable until you finally cave." " Well, I ain't caving, Jerry." "No way." " Hey." " Hi." "Just wanted to remind you I have that thing with the attorneys at 4:00." " The attorneys?" " Divorce attorneys." " Oh, right." " Sorry about the timing." "I wanted to do it first thing, But Gavin's been working overnight shifts at the hospital." "At least that's what he says." "In any case, it's a one-time thing." "It's fine, Bobbi." "I hope it goes as well as possible." "Thanks. and you, too." "Thanks." "Okay." "Docket ending 7471," "People of the state of new York v. Barbara Goslin -- Charged with assault in the third degree."

"Touché." "So..." "An altercation between parents at a youth hockey game." "The complainant told the police that she was punched in the face... with a hot dog." "It was a shove, your honor, and it was done in self-defense." "There is a cross complaint here." "Oh, well, then let's bring the other one out." "Two is always better than one." "Docket ending 7472, people of the state of new York vs. Ilene Thomason -- Charged with assault in the third degree." "Emma Troutman for the defense, your honor." "Waive the reading, not the rights."

"I had an energy drink." "I feel great. go." "Well, this defendant refused to let the other one enter the locker room to see her son" "And claiming that he cost the team their game." "And then" " She shoved her." " My client's husband is mason Thomason, your honor." "Not only is he one of the city's most influential businessmen, but a leading philanthropist, as well." "Not to mention a snappy dresser." "So it should come as no surprise" "That Mrs. Thomason has courageously taken it upon herself to lead the movement against violence in youth hockey." "Unfortunately, yesterday she became a victim of violence herself." "I got chills." "Nevertheless, I think it would be in everybody's best interests" "If we all promise to play nice in the future and mutually dismiss." " Any objections?" " None here." "Miss Troutman?" "My client is a strict vegan, your honor, who believes in the rights of all animals." "Ms. Goslin is well aware of this, So punching her with a pork product was not just an assault on her person, but on her belief system, as well." "The charges must not be dropped." "I understand your feelings may be hurt, ma'am, but..." "I strongly recommend that you let this go with an apology." "My client feels that an apology diminishes the seriousness of the other defendant's actions." "Okay, stop talking." "You do not come into my courtroom and expect me to play referee." "If you cannot settle this amongst yourselves, then the system will work it out for you." "So what's it gonna be?" "Bail is set for $1,000 over $1,000 for each." "Both cases are adjourned." "Carlos, call the next case." "Your honor, my client is more than willing to drop the charges." "I know your client's position, Miss Whitman." "If you want this resolved, You pool your resources with Miss Troutman and bring her client around -- I'm not doing it." "Oh, hey, Jerry." "I didn't get a chance to give you your present last night." " You didn't get me a present." " Oh, I did, and I actually have it here with me." "It's a scrunchie." "Seriously, get a hobby." "Just thought you'd appreciate some options, jerry." "McGrath." "A notice of eviction the day before the trial, huh?" " You must really like your hand." " You talking about your drug-dealing barber?" "I love my hand." "Spare me the rhetoric, dude." "You know he's not a dealer." "What I know is a whole bunch of folks smoked crack bought from his shop." "From his nephew." "He had no idea what was going on." "His shop, jerry, his nephew." "I know you don't believe in responsibility, but you do understand the concept, right?" "Yeah, yeah, the concept I don't get is punishing a solid citizen for giving a neglected kid a bed and a job, when no one else would." "But, hey," " Maybe a jury will." " And you want me to drop the rhetoric?" " That's actually not rhetoric." " Then you're delusional." "Blinded by the overwhelming lack of evidence." "But like I said, if you want to throw your little spin job At the people in the box," " I won't stand in your way." " That's big of you." "But work with me on the eviction, Marcus." "I know it's not your call, but please." "Talk to Balco." "Okay, Jerry." "If you get an acquittal, I'll see what I can do." "Lame, Marcus." "War on drugs is real, my friend." "better polish your steel." "So, I'm just stuck in here?" "For about five days." "That's when we go back to court." "I can't wait five days." "Mark's got to eat." "he's got to get off to school." "This is a disaster." "Is there anybody at all who can help you with bail " " A relative or your boss?" "No. my boss would fire me for asking." "I-I..." "I got 130 some-odd bucks in -- in checking " " Supposed to last me till payday." "But, hey..." "Why don't we ask Ilene Thomason for a thou?" "She's loaded." "Barb, you need to know that five days is the minimum that you'll be in." "If Ilene doesn't drop the charges, It'll be another few weeks until trial." "Motions will be filed, which chews up more time." "Now, Ilene's gonna post bail today." "She's not gonna care if this thing drags on," "But you're gonna be in the whole time." "So if she doesn't back down," " we're talking weeks, months?" " Potentially." "Now, I don't want to sound like a broken record " "What happens to Mark?" "He was with my neighbor Sheila last night." "She's not stable." "Well, we need to find somebody who is." " Is there anybody else that we can " " No, there's no one else for anything, miss Whitman." "I'm not a people person, you understand?" "I'm private." "My life is built around Mark." "The only reason He's playing hockey in Manhattan is 'cause I got a job at the shipping depot down the street from the rink." "What if I plead guilty?" " That's not a good idea." " Would I serve time?" "With this case and no record, you'd be released." "Worst case would be probation, but you " "Then let's do that." " Can we do it now?" " Even if we wanted to do it now, it'd be almost impossible before the next court date, and there are consequences." " But I'd be out in five days, right?" " Barb, listen to me." "You plead guilty, yes, you go home, but you go home with a criminal record." " You lose your job." " I'm gonna lose my job anyway." "At least Mark would have a mother." "He'd have a mother who wouldn't be able to care of him or herself." "You'd be unemployable, barb, and that's just for starters." "What if Ilene still isn't satisfied?" "She's got grounds for a civil suit and for an order of protection." "Preventing you from going to Mark's hockey games." "So, what then?" " What am I supposed to do?" " I know you're scared." "But please don't plead guilty out of panic." "Just give me 24 hours." "Let me see if I can make this better." "I see your client managed to scare up the money to make bail." "A thousand dollars that would have been much better spent had your client just taken responsibility for what she did." "You know, we should talk about this when you're not on the clock." "Let's just get a cup of coffee after lunch." "Ask Narb Goslin if she's ever done anything, one single thing, to help the team." "Not now, Ilene." "I bought the new uniforms." "I bring two shopping bags full of organic fruit and almond butter to each game so the kids can eat healthy." "I hired the yoga instructor, to help with flexibility and balance." "I'm the glue holding the team together, while your client -- she scoffs in the background." "She isn't interested in being part of something special." "She just wants to see her kid knock somebody down on the ice." "What she wants is to see her kid, period." "She punched me in the face with a...hot dog." "I'm not the villain here." "Ms. McKali, you are chief of staff for the Manhattan borough president." "I am." "Politics is your job." "Managing people is my job, but politics is part of it." "Can I assume you share the borough president's politics on mandatory drug sentencing?" "I don't think you should assume anything, counselor." "So politics wouldn't affect your ability to be impartial in this case?" "Not at all." "You leave your work at the office." "Well, in that case, I wouldn't be doing my job." "But I won't bring my work here." "And I make my judgments based on what's in front of me." "What about you, Mr. Cansardi?" "Would you give the frazzled guy money for the bus ticket?" " No." " Okay, so you agree with ms." "Jennings." "Yes, I agree." "Uh, I heard the bus-ticket story before." "Okay, so what if he's in his 20s and he's in an army uniform?" "He's a soldier on leave." "Would you give him the money then?" "Maybe." "So you would trust that guy a little more." "Is it the -- the uniform?" "It's..." "It's how he carries himself." "Oh, so you're talking demeanor." "No, we're talking about how he presents himself to the world, whether he looks respectable." "Oh, okay. well, what looks respectable to you?" "The other lawyer." "He looks...respectable." "Clean-cut." "La bella figura." " So you -- you trust him?" " Yes." "Okay, well, what about me?" "Do you trust me?" "I don't think so." "Really, why?" "what is it about me that makes me untrustworthy?" "It's how you look." "Sloppy." "It's your clothes, your hair." "It's long." "You look like a dirty hippie." "The guy said he doesn't trust me." "And that you look like a dirty hippie." "Thank you." "either way, he's biased." "Against you maybe, but not your client." "Agreed." "Challenge for cause denied." "Use a peremptory if you have to." "Aren't you out of peremptories, Jerry?" "He is." "Hmm, well, then it appears that Mr. Cansardi will be seated as juror number 12," "Unless you believe that the defense should be granted an extra peremptory." "Of course I think the defense should be granted an extra peremptory." "Opening statements tomorrow morning at 10:00." " Yes, judge." " That's all." " Hi." " Hi, Gavin." "Shall we?" "Considering the events of the past year," "I think you'll find miss Gilardi's terms..." " Excuse me." " ...to be fair to say the least." "Excuse me." "You don't get to start." "We'll start." "Excuse me." "The terms are a 50-50 split of all assets," "With dr." "Dillon receiving an alimony payment Of $1,000 a month." "What?" "!" "You must be having a dyslexic moment." "Your client is the one who was physically abusive and arrested for patronizing a prostitute." "My client's one alleged instance of physical abuse was lawfully forgiven when miss Gilardi took him back, and the patronization case was dismissed." "You can talk about the law all you want, but no sane judge is going to have a wholly sympathetic public defender paying alimony to her ex-husband," "The drug-abusing doctor." "It won't happen." "What's this supposed to be?" "You've been nailing him ever since you started that stupid job." "My god, please." "Your client's at fault, Gail." "You might want to reconsider our terms." "Because of this?" " this proves nothing." " Yeah, well..." " We have more." " More what?" " Pictures of hugs?" " This is really how you want it to be?" "You could always come back." "Honey." "Let's go." "So, we're having an affair?" "Nobody told me." "I know they're bluffing." "But still, this whole thing has me all creeped out." "What can I do?" "Maybe just a rain check on dinner." "I don't want to give Gavin any more photo ops." " It would just be dinner." " It's the implication." "You understand, right?" "Right, of course." "rain check." "Thanks." "DombrowskI's gonna want a misdemeanor on Sanchez." "But the offer is four years, all right?" "Don't go any lower." " Okay." "In other words, take the hard line." " Mercy goes through me, sweetheart." "Buried in crap is the job!" "It's the job!" " Oh, my god." " What?" "Morning." "No, he did not." "Yes, he did." "Eric, they're even." "Let a man check his work, now." "All rise." "Court is now in session." "The honorable judge Trudy Kessler presiding." "Any outstanding business before we begin?" " None, judge." " No, your honor." "Your head isn't nearly as oversized As I thought it would be." "Quite a compliment coming from you, your honor." "There's plenty more where that came from." "Shall we begin?" "There was a tear in the fabric of the sofa." "I reached inside, and that's when I found the product." "How many vials of crack did you find in the defendant's office?" "44." "Approximately, what is the street value for that much crack?" "Almost $500." "Detective di Meglio," "How do you know who's running a drug operation?" "Find the drugs." "It's rule number one." "Thank you." "Nothing further." "Counselors, do you have business in this courtroom?" "We were just observing the, uh, proceedings, your honor." "Um, carry on." "Mr. Kellerman." " Detective di Meglio." " Yeah." " Crack is illegal, yes?" " Yes." "So nobody puts little name tags on the vials, that, uh, tell people who the crack belongs to?" " No." " But somebody does have to" " put the tops on the vials?" " Yes." " And somebody does put the vials in bags?" " Sure." "Eric Barnett's fingerprints" " weren't on the bags?" " No." "His fingerprints weren't on the vials either," " or the little, green tops?" " No." "Before you ripped open the sofa bed where his nephew slept," " did you find any crack in his office?" " No." "Or in the shop in general?" "Any crack there?" "No." "When's the last time you ransacked your own apartment, detective?" " I haven't." " But you've ripped apart your own sofa?" "No." "So you have no idea what's inside it?" "I'm pretty sure there's nothing inside my sofa." "Just "pretty sure."" "Thanks." "Nothing further." "Di Meglio." "Good lord." "I heard Kellerman got a haircut." " He did." " See that?" "That's a smart piece of lawyering." "I want to put the nephew on the stand." " To testify against the uncle?" " He's already doing two years on the sale." "I'm pretty sure he'd jump at a program." "Well, that's just filthy." "Who are you -- me?" "Just wanted to make sure you were okay with it." " Barnett's the bigger fish, so..." " I love it." "I think I'm actually aroused right now, Marcus." "And I'm leaving." "Hockey moms." "Hi." "I brought some of the other moms from the team." " Hi." "Come on in." " Hi." " Rosalind Whitman, This is Danielle..." " Hi." "Kelly, Abby, and Sonya." "And this is $1,000." "We pooled it together with some of the other team moms." "It's for Barb Goslin's bail." "That's great." "Thank you." "We call Ilene "the hockey momster."" "And, um, Sonya's husband is actually a lawyer at Schector Paulsen, and he thought that you could do something with these, too." "I thought I smelled something floral." "Body spray?" "Actually, Nick, I'm not wearing anything underneath this dress." "oh, you have a spot." "Michelle." "Let's talk about Barbara Goslin and Ilene Thomason." "The hockey moms." "Well, that'll be a mutual dismiss, don't you think?" " I mean, eventually." " I have another idea." "It's pretty much a game-changer, Eric." "With your nephew testifying, They can make a real case against you." " I don't see Lincoln doing it." " He's doing it." "I need something I can use to discredit him as a witness." "Like what?" "You said your sister didn't want to take him in." "Was there something specific that he did, or " "So you want to know bad things about him now?" "I need to show the jury that he's not trustworthy." "It's crucial." " He's a good kid, Jerry." " He's going to implicate you." "He's gonna say that you knew the crack was there." "They wouldn't put him on the stand otherwise." "But you're asking me to air out family business, And you got to understand something." "Now, Lincoln's already had two parents leave him behind." " He's my responsibility." " Eric!" "Now, I care about my shop, and I care about my community, and I don't want to go to prison." "But family got to be above all that." "Now..." "You got to make the boy look bad, you go ahead." "You do what you got to do." "I trust you." "But I don't want no part of it." "Do you solemnly swear or affirm that the testimony you give before this court will be the truth and nothing but the truth?" "I do." "Lincoln..." "When did you first move into the office at your uncle's shop?" "January of 2008." "Louder please, Mr. Shayes." "January of 2008." " Why did you move in?" " My mom left." "I didn't have nowhere else to go." "So..." "He told me I could sleep there sometimes if I took a job with him." " How long after that did you start dealing drugs?" " I dealt a long time before that." "Right, but at some point, you started storing your supply in the office at the shop." "Yeah, that was like two weeks after I moved in." "If you had a job, why did you continue to deal drugs?" "Because I had -- ...have a drug problem." "I need the money to buy drugs." "Did you sell when your uncle was in the shop?" " Yeah." " Could he see what you were doing?" "Yeah." "Yeah, the buyers would come in and out of the office all the time." "Thank you." "Nothing further." "You were arrested for dealing crack in September 2008." " Yes." " You pled guilty." " Yes." " And you were given a sentence of two years" " in prison." "That's where you are now." " Yes." " In prison?" " Right." "But now that you promised the district attorney To testify against your uncle," " That's all gonna change, isn't it?" " Yes." "In fact, you expect that as soon as you're done here," " You'll get paroled to a drug program." " Yes." "That's what Mr. McGrath promised you" " to get you here to testify." " Yes." "And that's why you're in court today testifying " " Because of that promise." "Yes." "I have nothing further." "You did a good job with that." "It's not gonna be enough." "He may seem opportunistic, but if the jury thinks you knew he was dealing, it won't matter." "We got my testimony, too, and I'm gonna tell the truth." "That prosecutor, McGrath -- he's good." "He's gonna come after you just as hard as I went after Lincoln." "I can handle him." "Now, Eric, if the jury believes You knew he was dealing crack out of your office, they're gonna believe you knew the crack was in there." "That's the case right there, brother." " Yeah, but I didn't know he was dealing." " You knew he was using, though, and you were only giving him $9 an hour." " That's a good wage." " Not enough to support a crack habit." "You see where I'm going with this?" "The jury's gonna ask, "Where did" "Lincoln get the money to support his habit if he wasn't dealing?"" "From me." "Tell me you weren't giving him money to buy drugs." "He was stealing the money from the shop, Jerry." " Why didn't you stop him?" " Oh, I knew." "I knew." "I was thinking that if I stopped him, Then that he would..." "Start dealing." "I figured if I kept quiet, keep it in the family," "I would keep him out of trouble." "The money, I could spare." " That's a defense." " It is?" "You tell the jury what you just told me, we got a chance." " I don't know, Jerry." " What?" "What don't you know?" "Well, he he just got that deal to go into the treatment." "I don't want to be messing with that." "That deal is contingent on his testimony, not yours." "They can't take that away from him." "But they are gonna take everything away from you unless you get up there, and you tell them what actually happened." "My sister told me that she had a man, A boyfriend, in Philadelphia," "And she was gonna go be with him and she didn't want Lincoln going with her." "So I told her, "let him come stay with me."" "You gave him a place to stay." "My apartment don't have room for two, so..." "He had to sleep on the sofa in the office of the shop " " Best I could do." " You also gave him a job." "Sweeping up, taking out the trash." "I taught him how to file the invoices." "But mostly, I just wanted him to have a place he had to be each day " "Give him a chance to be around...good people." " What were you trying to protect him from, Eric?" " The street." "Did you know he had problems with drugs?" "The boy had his struggles." " But you took him in anyway." " He's my nephew." " He needed family that was gonna look after him." " Eric, did you have any idea that your nephew was dealing drugs while he was working for you?" "No." "No." "I did the best I could to care for the boy." "I kept him busy." "But I run a business, too." "The hair don't get cut and the customers don't get to talked to." "Unless I'm out there doing it." " If you had known he was dealing, what would you have done?" " Talked to him." "Tell him to stop." "Whatever I could." "If you didn't know he was dealing, where did you think he was getting the money to support his drug habit?" "I didn't know he had a habit." "Eric..." "Where did you think Lincoln was getting the money to support his habit?" "I didn't know he had a habit." " You just blew the case." " Yeah, maybe so." "But I wasn't gonna let all those people know that Lincoln was stealing from me." "I couldn't." "Better I go away for a while than do that to him." "Somebody just shoot me in the head." "This system crushes good people every day, and you're just letting it happen." "T-this -- this loyalty that you have is irrational." "He just -- he just betrayed you in about six different ways." "He's a good kid." "Eric, I'm not saying he's bad." "He's a good kid." "that's what I'm saying." "The boy made a pile of mistakes, but he can be good." "Eric..." "You're going to prison." "Lincoln's gonna get out from under all this." "In time." "The day's gonna come where he's standing on his own two feet," "Trying to figure out the next move." "Is he gonna go down that path he's been on like his mother, his father?" "Or is he gonna take the new way that he don't know nothing about?" "When that day comes -- and I promise you it will come Lincoln's gonna remember what I did." "That somebody in his life cared enough for him, that they didn't turn their back on him, no matter what he did." "The boy's gonna know he was loved, Jerry." "I swear to god " " I swear to god..." "He's gonna know." "And then we'll see what he do." "You know Eric Barnett." "He's got that barber shop around the corner." "You spend an hour in his chair, and he'll talk to you about city politics, the Yankees' pitching staff..." "The early work of the commodores..." "And the secret to understanding the opposite sex." "It's a secret." "Oh, and by the way, you'll, uh, also get a pretty good haircut." "You heard a lot of testimony in this case." "But remember what we talked about in jury selection." "When Eric Barnett tells his story..." "Do you trust him?" "Because that's what this case comes down to." "When he tells you he took in his nephew when no one else would," "He shared his world with this boy..." "Because that's what family members do for each other..." "Do you believe him?" "You know Eric Barnett." "He's a barber..." "A pastor, a shrink, a friend..." "And an uncle who would trade places with his nephew right now, if he could." "What's he not is a drug dealer." "I trust this reunion means we've all come to our senses, yes?" "Well, we have a dismissal, your honor." ""Dismissal," as in singular?" "Yes, based on recent developments," "We've decided to drop the charges on ms." "Goslin." "What recent developments, your honor?" "We were not informed of this." "We have received signed affidavits from nine of the mothers on the team, stating that it was miss Thomason, who initiated physically aggressive behavior, and miss Goslin, who acted in self-defense." " What?" "!" "That's insanity!" " Very well." "Motion to dismiss is granted." " Wait a second." "Just hold on." " Quiet, miss Thomason." "Miss Troutman, please advise your client" "That my finger is on the contempt trigger." " You need to be quiet." " Don't shush me." "I want to see these so-called affidavits." "I have the right." "Well, why not?" "Miss Ernhardt, can you indulge us?" "This is your fault." "I assume you still have a willing complainant On the remaining docket." "Ms. Goslin, you're free to go."
