Quotes
-
Michael Cutter : Suppression is a remedy that punishes police misconduct. The police did absolutely nothing wrong here. The brick was stolen by civilians.
Attorney Wilson : Who'd been for all practical purposes deputized to investigate this case.
Michael Cutter : That's not accurate. They helped identify a suspect in a photo that was released to the public.
Judge Noreen Morrison : I think I just heard a hair split, Mr. Cutter. Talk to me about the backpack.
Attorney Wilson : Again, it was stolen from my client by the same deputized vigilantes after they mugged him.
Connie Rubirosa : No. We have affidavits from the detectives that these civilians were warned to stay away from Mr. Sherman. They were not working as agents of the police.
Attorney Wilson : Even granting that, the People can't establish a chain of custody for the backpack. The butane may have been planted by the vigilantes.
Judge Noreen Morrison : That you'll have to argue to a jury, Mr. Wilson. The backpack is coming in, the bricks are out. See you in court.
