You?Prosecutor: I think so.Me: So, you're gonna be the bad guy then, huh? Cool.Prosecutor: What?Me: Do you know that case? My client has an awesome defense and no jury will ever convict her (Seriously, it involves my client responding to a call from the police to come save her 5 year old. The jury is going to stone the prosecutor if this thing goes). You need to dismiss. I'm just saying.Prosecutor: But why should I? What are you saying?
