This is what I walk around with.
1:11:12
It's just, every day.
1:11:13
It's just ridiculous.
1:11:15
All I think about is the case
and my career

1:11:18
and they're completely,
it's like oil and water.

1:11:25
With the case,
it's a question of research.

1:11:28
My brother's been in
the law library

1:11:29
researching his current plan
1:11:33
and I'm supposed to go out
and make people laugh.

1:11:39
It's unbelievably difficult
to deal with the case

1:11:45
and then go out
and entertain people.

1:11:50
Hey!
1:11:51
Hi, everyone!
1:11:55
We carefully investigated
this case for trial.

1:11:59
Really get into the case,
examine, investigate

1:12:03
and try to build a defense.
1:12:05
While I was out on bail
1:12:07
I put all the charges
into a database

1:12:09
so that they could be
sorted by complainant

1:12:11
by time period,
by nature of charge.

1:12:16
For example,
there was one complainant

1:12:18
10-year-old boy
1:12:19
says he came to class
in the spring of 1986

1:12:22
and during
this 10-week session

1:12:23
where he was
only over my house

1:12:25
for an hour and a half
once a week

1:12:27
he says that there were
31 instances of sexual contact.

1:12:32
That's 3 times a week
1:12:35
every single week...
1:12:36
for 10 straight weeks
1:12:38
and then the course ends.
1:12:40
In the fall, he re-enrolled
for the advanced course

1:12:45
and says that he was subjected
to 41 more instances

1:12:49
of anal and oral sodomy
in the next 10-week session

1:12:52
and nobody said anything.
1:12:54
Week after week,
month after month

1:12:56
year after year
1:12:57
until after the police
came knocking on doors

1:12:59
and asking questions.
