So, let me get this straight.

You're saying this guy Anthony

was the shooter and not Colin?

That's right.

- So, Colin was the driver?

- No.

Colin had nothing

to do with it.

Who told you this?

Some people.

Some people?

They're not going to talk

to the police.

They know the people involved.

The whole neighborhood

know what happened.

The whole neighborhood know

you grabbed the wrong guy.

Well, unless the whole

neighborhood wants to testify,

you're wasting my time.

Let's go.

Where you going?

To get a piece of cake

from the store.

Get me one, too.

Please don't let it be a cell.

Let's go! On your gate!

On your count!

This is docket 7442.

Your honor, the people

are going to try Colin Warner

and Anthony Gibson together

for the murder of Marvin Grant.

I'm requesting that these cases

be consolidated

under the original indictment.

Request is granted.

Are you the guy

that killed Marvin?

Don't be asking me that.

Ain't no concern of yours.

But they're saying

i did it, man.

You got to tell them

I'm innocent.

I ain't saying

nothing like that.

If they want to say

that I did it,

they're gonna have to prove it.

But they got me in here

for it, man.

I don't know why you're here,

but it ain't got nothing

to do with me.

Come on, let's go!

Five, four, three...

Happy new year!

Crime today is

an American epidemic.

The American people

are reasserting

the belief that

right and wrong do matter

and that retribution must be

swift and sure for those

who decide to make a career

of preying on the innocent.

We move to adjourn for a month.

Where are the attorneys

for the defense?

They're never here, your honor.

What's going on with this case?

We're preparing for trial.

We've been unable

to locate the witness.

You're referring

to Clarence Lewis?

Yes, your honor.

When was the last contact

with Mr. Lewis?

18 months ago.

18 months?

Well, you have two weeks

to be ready for trial,

or I'm giving the defendants

a drastically low bail.

Yes, your honor.

Get the f*** down.

Get the f*** down.

Open the f***ing cash register!

Open the f***ing register!

Open...

Colin?

Bruce regenstreich.

The court appointed me

to represent you at trial.

So they have the, uh,

the eyewitness in custody,

and they want to move quickly

'cause of this judge.

So the first hearing

is gonna be set for next week.

They found our witness?

Yeah. Yeah,

he was, uh, picked up

on a robbery charge last night.

Any idea why

he's implicating you?

Nah. I don't even know him.

And they got

the guy who did it.

- Oh, you mean Anthony?

- Yeah.

- And you didn't know him?

- No.

I don't know any of these guys.

I'm telling you,

i had nothing to do with this.
