After The Verdict
“Mr. Bromley, before I sentence you, do you have anything to say to this Court?”
“I'm innocent, Your Honor.”
“I meant anything more than that nonsense. You've been found guilty by a jury of your peers. You understand, don't you?”
“I think I would've done better with a different lawyer.”
“By the way...Why did you choose your brother-in-law, Mr. Bromley?”
“Because, Your Honor, my sister-in-law cost a lot more. But I tell you, I'm innocent.”
“I told you to stop saying that.”
“Your Honor...”
“Yes...”
“Maybe if I'd offered a better bribe? Would that have made all the difference?”
