Docket no. 36533, People vs. Jonah Applebaum, three counts of murder in the second degree.
JMJudge Margel
Plea?
NNorr
Your Honor, we're going to need a 730 exam.
JJonah
I wanna plead not guilty.
JMJudge Margel
I believe that may be what your attorney has in mind, sir.
JJonah
No, not not guilty on account of I'm crazy, not guilty on account of I didn't do it.
JMJudge Margel

Jonah Applebaum is the Boxcar Basher?
You just put an insane serial killer back on the street.
He doesn't know that we know that. We... we can still pick him up.
You damn well better. This could be Willie Horton all over again.
Willie Horton? You're not worried about the election, are you?
I'm worried about everything. About him killing someone else. About the way this office is run. A serial killer in our hands and then released. Am I being too picky?
[Cutter bends legal ethics to forcibly medicate Jonah so his testimony will be admissible]

[shrugs] Win-win.
