Physical Evidence Page #3

I fail to see

the wisdom of granting bail

in a first-degree

murder case.

Community safety

is the priority here.

Your honor,

Joseph Paris has lived

in this city all his life,

and intends to remain here.

Mr. Paris has no

prior arrests, your honor.

He has protected

this community for 14 years

as a police detective.

We also feel, your honor,

that our case is strong.

It is in my client's interest

to exonerate himself

by showing up for trial.

I feel there's

no risk that he would not appear.

What does

the district attorney's office

think about that, Mr. nicks?

I concur

with miss Hudson

that Mr. Paris

is well known

in the law enforcement

community in Boston.

However, that the seriousness

of the offense calls

for a sizeable cash bond.

I'd like to add that my client

was locked up last night

with men

he has sent to jail.

There isn't

an institution in the state

where Mr. Paris would

be free from reprisals.

I can do without

the dramatics, counselor.

You've made your point.

Mr. Paris, bail is set

at $500,000 with surety,

or $50,000 cash.

Um, your honor, we are

prepared to post real estate

with equity of $50,000

if that is acceptable.

Mr. nicks.

No objection, your honor.

Very well.

Thank you, your honor.

Hey, uh, I hope you realize

that I took it easy on you in there.

I didn't have to

let your guy walk.

You did the right thing.

-No, I did the expedient thing.

I don't want

to sensationalize this case

any more than you do.

Why don't you do us all

a favor? Let's plead this guy.

I'll give you a good deal.

I've got the guy nailed.

We'll find out in court,

won't we?

You are new at this,

aren't you?

Oh, did I tell you

that we got Paris' blood type

on the murder weapon?

Yeah.

Just came back

from the lab.

Hudson, right?

I'm offering you a deal.

Now don't drag

your client through this,

or yourself.

See you in court,

Mr. nicks.

Is this supposed

to jog my memory?

That's the idea.

Do you want to stop?

No.

Do you want to see

where the body was found?

I usually don't like people

from a lot of money,

but of course

there are exceptions.

Put that away.

What?

-Put that away.

Don't light that.

You can't be serious.

Not in my car, ok?

Ok.

Look familiar?

Farley's bar?

Of course it looks familiar.

You've been inside?

-No. Me? Never.

When was the last time?

I don't know.

A month ago. 2 months ago.

Give me a break.

It's a pretty nice place.

-Oh, yeah. Real nice.

Up to their ears

in hookers,

and they've got enough cocaine

here to start a revolution.

Are you Joe Paris?

Mmm-hmm.

I have a message for you

from Mr. farley.

Mr. farley?

His son.

Mr. farley says,

"f*** off!"
