Law & Order · Season 4, Episode 10

Judge, Lawyer and others in “The Pursuit of Happiness”

A defence lawyer is attempting to discredit the Prosecution's Korean-American eyewitness with expert testimony that Cross-Racial Identification is unreliable.

JJudge

You have an expert witness?

LLawyer

I do, judge: a psychologist.

Why didn't we hear about this in pre-trial motions?

LLawyer

Gee, Ben, I'm sorry. I was a little late with my legal research.

You knew about this weeks ago; you warned me that this witness would be a problem.

LLawyer

[Hurried] I don't recall that.

JJudge

Off the record, please. [His scribe stops typing] I can't prove this, Tom, but I think you're lying.

LLawyer

Your honor, I don't think --

JJudge

Don't play dumb with me. You didn't want Ben to know where you were going. I'll let you have your witness, but one of these days, you're gonna get caught, you'll get disbarred, and I'll be there to applaud.
