Julius: It has been brought to my attention that in placing Mr. Nugent in custody, I may have overlooked certain legal precedents. Incarceration of any kind for any length of time should only be used as a last resort, never as a denial of fundamental rights. It’s clear Mr. Nugent’s actions didn’t justify subjecting him to that treatment.
Diane: Your Honor?
Julius: Also, upon further reflection, it would seem that in denying Mr. Canning’s motion to recuse, I was in error.
Canning: Your Honor, we all make mistakes.
Julius: Even the appearance of impropriety is to be avoided. Accordingly, I will be transferring this case to the executive committee of the court, and if the case should go to trial, it will be before someone else.
Tucker Nugent: I take it you’re sorry for what you did.
Julius: I am.
Tucker Nugent: Might be good to say it out loud.
Julius: I’m sorry.
