Exercise 1. Answer the questions
Exercise 2. Find out who in the history of mankind:
used to tell flat-out lies, buried evidences and played facts, suffered egregious and overzealous prosecution, was a victim of entrapment, has always worked within the confines of the law.
Find some more information about these people and be ready to speak about them
Here is the tapescript of this episode
That’s a flat-out lie
We have proof, Your Honor, that Detective Prima buried evidence.
Not once have I buried evidence.
Let me handle this
This is ridiculous. How can she just go and smear my name like that?
Is this Morse code?
What am I looking at here?
It’s a metadata report taken from detective Prima’s computer proving that he was in receipt of information from the Canadian police.
Geneva, you got to help me out of here. You know this isn’t true.
Yes, Geneva. Help us out here. Because from where I sit, it looks like the state attorney’s office and the Chicago PD are playing facts and loose with the facts.
The state has new evidence to submit.
Uh, Your Honor.
I just received a statement from Detective Rodriguez. Mr. Agos may have been a victim of entrapment.
Ok, everybody bring your evidence up here. Now. Sit down Ms Pine now. If your office spends this much time working within the confines of the law, the streets would be free of criminals.
We move that we be allowed to retry this, Your Honor.
Excuse me but we move for immediate dismissal, Your Honor. This is not just a matter of a cover-up of the original investigation, but the police detective who received that e-mail lied to the court.
I did nothing of the kind.
Sit down sir and stop your lying.
I did nothing wrong.
This shows you did something. Now sit down, or I’ll hold you in contempt. Okay, here’s how we’re doing this. Mr. Agos, please accept my apologies on behalf of this court for the egregious and overzealous prosecution you’ve suffered. I know these words don’t make up for the last six months of your life.. no words ever can..but they are all I have. And so I’ll use them now. This case is dismissed with prejudice.
Your Honor
No, leave the poor guy alone. You are free to go, Mr. Agos. With our apologies.
