Judge and Stella in “Criminal Justice”

What you're telling me pertains to evidence that you and your investigators collected and analyzed.

Stella

I'm well aware of that.

And this could not have waited until after the defendant was remanded?

Stella

With all due respect, your honour... would you prefer to make rulings without prior knowledge of all the facts?

If what you just told me goes on record, Antonio Reyes could walk out onto the street, free to do more harm. Are you prepared to live with the potential consequences of that? Are you, detective?
