Indictment: The McMartin Trial Page #3

because you were

indicted by a grand jury and the police were well

within their rights. What about our rights?

The parents were afraid

something else might happen

to their children.

What do the TV people think they're doing?

That reporter stuck his

camera right in my face! Wayne Satz,

he's the Geraldo of local news,

but he's usually not wrong. What's the matter

with everybody? Don't they

know children make up stories? A lot of new research

indicates that they don't make

up stories about child abuse. Oh, hogwash! Well, Los Angeles believes it,

and the DA believes

that this case is gonna win him reelection.

Would you look at us?! Do we look like

child molesters? Does Ted Bundy look

like a serial killer? I'll need power of attorney

over your property

for your bail hearing. Your bail and your

granddaughter's is set

at $50,000 apiece. You want my house

and my school. Your daughter's

set at $350,000. Why should I give you

something I worked

my whole life for? And your grandson Ray Buckey

at one million dollars. She drove a school bus

for years to be able to get the money

to buy this school. In our neighborhood,

burned her at the stake. Just sign here

on the X, please. If you're gonna be our lawyer,

then please, just sign at the X. Okay? (tapping on glass) No physical contact. Thank you. (sighs) I'll see what I can do

about your wheelchair. Bye.

Huh. Did you see our new poll?

Number one concern? Woman:

Child abuse tops crime.

I know. Are you surprised? Boy! You are fast!

I've been chasin' you

all over. Can we work out

lower bail on McMartin? 'Cause, you know... Hey, you know, my clients

aren't a danger

to the community. So what's the problem?

I mean, that's

the only justification for that kind of bail.

Am I right? Come on, Stevens. These people never

had so much as a parking ticket,

for Christ's sake. These people

are monsters, Mr. Davis. Do you actually

believe children would

make something like this up? I knew it would

be someone like you

who would take this case. What happened?

Did you run out of drug dealers? Is she kiddin'

with this sh*t? I want you

to know something. I care passionately
