Judge Schuyler, Brannon and others in “Unfinished Business”

Now, before we begin, let's just make sure that everyone is familiar with the rules of my courtroom. I have a zero-tolerance policy for shenanigans. I appreciate that emotions are running high. But you must control them if you wish to remain. That means no outbursts, and no foul language. Capisce, Mr. Redding?

Yes, your honor.

I understand you wanna change the plea you made at arraignment?

Yeah. I wanna plead guilty.

Please stand.

You may now allocute.

Describe your crime for the court.

Uh,... I shot the 2 Jew kids and the porch monkey.

May you burn in Hell, you racist pig!

[bangs gavel] Order! Madam, sit down, or I'll have you removed! And as for you, Mr. Redding, I'm rejecting your plea offer.

But, your honor, there's a deal in place.

My courtroom, my decision, Mr. Horowitz. And I find this deal reprehensible. [to the ADA] You should be ashamed of yourself for agreeing to it, Miss Novak.

Novak

I apologize.

A blatant hate crime, countless children traumatized, 2 of them maimed, and one precious young life snuffed out.
