1:18:00
Who knows? It was not an ideal situation.
1:18:04
Far from it.
1:18:07
And, sir...
1:18:09
...you come to this courtroom...
1:18:11
...where the life of a man...
1:18:13
...who served you faithfully for 1 2 years
now hangs in the balance...
1:18:17
...and you tell us
you withheld evidence from him...
1:18:20
...that might have assisted
in his investigation?
1:18:34
All right.
1:18:38
Is it fair to say...
1:18:40
...that the chief deputy is the person
in the office...
1:18:43
...in whose judgement you place
the greatest confidence?
1:18:48
I regarded him as the best lawyer
for the job, yes.
1:18:51
And you gave Mr. Sabich the authority...
1:18:54
...to decide when and where
to fire Mr. Della Guardia?
1:18:58
Gentlemen...
1:19:00
...let's stop right there.
1:19:03
What is the relevance of who fired who?
1:19:06
Judge, it's our theory that Mr. Sabich
is being framed in this case.
1:19:11
-I don't believe it.
-Your response has been noted.
1:19:14
If Mr. Stern is truly going to endeavor
to prove...
1:19:18
...that the case against Mr. Sabich
has been manufactured...
1:19:21
...then this history of antagonism
is relevant for those purposes.
1:19:25
What about this missing B file?
1:19:27
We believe it's being withheld
because it contains evidence...
1:19:30
...that is necessary to the defense.
1:19:32
So, we intend to pursue this matter...
1:19:35
...until we have a full understanding
on how it bears on the truth.
1:19:39
I don't know where this will lead us,
but I'll tell you two things:
1:19:43
You'd better be prepared
for the prosecution's response...
1:19:46
...because he is going to be entitled
to a great deal of latitude in answering.
1:19:50
'Cause I am going to give him that.
1:19:57
Do you recall we spoke about a B file
that you assigned to Ms. Polhemus?
