Quotes
-
Casey Novak : Your Honor, Mr. Decker clearly coached his clients into manipulating an abuse allegation out of Emma. That's not just outrageous, it's criminal.
James Decker : I offered advice on how to talk to an abused child. That's all.
Casey Novak : Mr. and Mrs. Boyd never would have accused Zoe of molesting Emma had it not been for Mr. Decker.
Judge Taten : That's enough! Counsel, approach.
James Decker : Your Honor, Miss Novak has no absolutely basis for these allegations.
Casey Novak : And Mr. Decker has a history of representing straight clients fighting custody battles with their gay exes.
James Decker : So I get slandered for choosing who I want to represent?
Casey Novak : You fed your clients anti-gay material before custody was even an issue because you were gearing up for a fight. That means you conspired to keep Emma away from Zoe which means you committed a hate crime.
James Decker : That's ridiculous! Not to mention you can't prove any of it.
Judge Taten : Mr. Decker, at the very least, this is a serious breach of ethical conduct.
James Decker : Your Honor...
Judge Taten : I have no choice but to remove you as counsel and declare a mistrial.
