Guilty as Sin Page #4

- Good.

- l think l can get him off.

Besides, he makes a very good

case for his own innocence.

- l believe him.

- Well, l can see you're

talking yourself into it.

He should be able to afford

the very best defence, eh?

l thought you'd find

something positive about it.

You actually showed up.

You can't-- You can't imagine

how much better l feel...

- just knowing that you're here.

- Well, don't feel too good.

The State's Attorney's Office

say the lab reports show...

your fingerprints

all over that window.

And the houseboy claims he

cleaned it just the day before.

l-lt was stuck.

Rita deliberately...

got me to open the window

that morning.

Can anybody corroborate that?

lt was after the houseboy went out.

Goddam it. Don't you think

if l was gonna toss my wife

out the f***in' window,

l'd have the common sense to

wipe my fingerprints off of it?

You don't have to convince me.

- Okay.

- Rodriguez! Your defence

counsellor is here.

Here's a copy of the letter she sent

to the State's Attorney's Office.

Beautiful.

According to her, l may as well have

taken an ad out in the Chicago Trib.

Our first problem is gonna be

to get you free on bail,

which is always very difficult

in a capital offence.

Then l guess l got me

an attorney.

Can you post bond?

Well, my wife's family

has tied up all the assets,

but Miriam said that she would

stand for the bond and--

Oh, and she said

she'd pay your fee.

- Miriam?

- Miriam Langford.

She's a dear friend.

You don't mind

if l have friends, do you?

Just don't marry them

'til the trial's over, okay?

Ah, don't worry about that.

l might even fall in love

with somebody else by then.

Your Honour, my client, David Greenhill,

has no prior record...

of any criminal activity,

nor has he any history of violence.

He maintains strong financial

and property ties to the community.

There is no reason to believe there is

any danger he'll flee the jurisdiction.

We respectfully request

bail not be denied.

Your Honour, we're dealing here with a

case of cold-blooded murder for profit.

An act so brutal, so premeditated,

it would lead any civilized person...

to believe the perpetrator would be

a danger to others in the community.

Therefore, it's in

the interest of the people that

David Greenhill be denied bail.

The court sets bail

in the amount of $250,000.

And you will surrender

your passport today. Next.

- Let me get outta here.

- Case number 623394.

Miriam, thank you

so much for everything.

l can't tell you

what this means to me.

You're the only one

that believes l'm innocent.

- What about Miss Haines?

- Oh, God, Miss Haines!

She said she'd defend me
