I'm gonna make you a wager, Stan. When I look hard at him, and I'm gonna look at him real hard... I'm gonna find a history of violence. I'm gonna find that somehow he managed to slip through the cracks. He shot people in Midtown in broad daylight, and you want a pass? Rikers is filled with young Black and brown men who did far less. Where was their pass? Where was their plea bargain when they needed a break? Your client will get the benefit of the doubt because he has the privilege of a justice system that was built for people who look like him, but he's not gonna get a pass from me. So, no. I'm not just gonna plead him out. We're going to trial.
