WEBVTT - Ep10: Any Given Sunday 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:02.920 Class Action is a production of I Heart Radio and 0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:09.080 Sound argument. All right, my little sister, bringers and hands, 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:16.000 but we don't have Jack Jasmine. Where is she? Where 0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:21.119 is she? Jackbreaking stuff? Wait? Wait wait wait missing Jasmine? 0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:25.079 Wait we're missing Jasmine. No, Hi, where are you? He's cold? 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:31.120 He's in short tease driving Yeah yeah, yeah, like he 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:35.360 was driving right now? Remember the rule relieving it? Okay, 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:39.159 she said she's walking out a row. Tell her, Tell 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:41.400 her not to her. She said, he said, you have 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:43.920 to run. No, don't do that to her. I'm just kidding. 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:48.480 I'm just kidding. Oh. There she is. She's in she's 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:53.240 me on blue gaster. She's in a full on track suit. 0:00:53.840 --> 0:01:05.520 She was met in the medical school. Away. Hello everyone, yes, 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:10.560 all right, here we go road again. Don't wait to 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:14.679 get back all the ruin again? Everybody good? I love 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:20.400 is making music. But I should go to karaoke. Well now, 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:28.000 but I'm so sorry what I'm Jasmine's just mad because 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.760 she doesn't understand I don't have it, so when it 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:34.680 comes in, it's just it was my first time. M hm. 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.000 So right now, I have no idea where we are. 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.840 I just woke up from a now, but we're on 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.480 are we Houston and we stopped at of Buckey's classic 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.360 must must do in Texas. Apparently they have the best 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.520 convenience store barbecue sandwiches in the state. But it's it's 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.440 just miserable outside. I mean it is grey, a like 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.600 I've never seen Texas be gray before. But we are 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:08.440 moving in root into Houston. Jasmine brought like seven different 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:15.920 albums jackets, Dude, it was at least four weeks that 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:21.919 leather coat completely say for one night you brought that coach, Jasmine, 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:28.560 because you will be Jack Barrow on us. I'm watching 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:32.720 the news. Chernobyl just fell to the Russians. So that's fun. 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:38.800 Chernobyl the side of the nuclear disaster. The Russians just 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:45.120 took it. Okay, so they're still moving south. This is 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:49.760 that entrance Chernobyl. Yeah, they took Chernobyl. You know the 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:56.360 energy in this van. Don't ask me that because I'm 0:02:56.400 --> 0:03:03.600 bling this stuff right now. Lanes left East Wen days ago, 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:15.080 still in their frosties. The frosty, their frosties, Yeah, what good? 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.000 The little one thing on this big Yeah, Like, why 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:20.880 would you ever get a frosty when you can just 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:32.920 get a bluezard. I did I like frost after the 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.760 disappointing loss at the Best of Texas competition. So we 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:41.760 lost that round. We lost that round two to one. 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:47.560 You do. The St. Mary's Trial team. It's back together, 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:51.680 only this time without Mariella, and they're on route to 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:55.360 the highest stakes tournament of the year, the regional bracket 0:03:55.440 --> 0:04:00.200 of the National Trial Competition. Eleven schools start out on Friday, 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:05.120 but only two will survive and advance to Nationals on Sunday. 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.640 By that time, for everyone else, the season will be over. 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.320 And while this isn't the first rodeo for St. Mary's, 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:16.040 it is the first time they'll be competing live this season. 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:30.120 Welcome to the Harris County Civil Court House. Oh you 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.520 should know about the trip to the room is where 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:36.800 they're always going to be. How all coffee in the 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:41.760 northern room. It's gonna be lunch as well. The law 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.920 students are all dressed up for a swanky happy hour 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.880 that's on the docket for tonight. The only table available 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.280 to St. Mary's, though, smack dab in the center of 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.120 the room where all of the other teams can check 0:04:55.120 --> 0:05:05.679 them out. Okay, Judge Christine Weans, the competition host, leaves 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.080 the students to fend for themselves. She pulls all of 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.159 the coaches into a conference room to sort out the 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.359 rules and to draw off the matchups. So we do 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.279 a four round prelim just because I hate three round prelimbs. 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.760 I'm very bitter. I did I got well. I got 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:23.599 on the losing end of a three round free limb 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:25.719 in law school like twenty five years ago, and I 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:30.120 still hold a grudge about it. So that back in 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:35.200 the main room, it's awkward. The St. Mary's team tries 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:42.840 to act cool. It's unique, just to help you like 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:46.120 and then sate your words before you speak. She does red, 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:50.480 leather yellow. There's a lot of side eye glances, silent judgments, 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:56.000 and forced small talk, except from cold. If you hacked 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.760 into a nuclear reactor, you could scram the reactor, which 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.800 shuts down the plant, cutting off power. That's very good 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:05.680 for the civilians. Like that are easy when everything's going good, 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:09.960 and then it goes bad. But these are competitors and 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.240 they are on high alert for any smack talk from 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:18.200 the other schools, especially from their arch nemesis, Baylor University. 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:21.480 My name is Christopher Grant. I am the young Padawan 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:27.200 to the Jedi Master, Chris Ruise, Christopher Ruise. This is 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.720 my fourth tournament on Baffa Baylor. I competed an undergrad, 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.920 so I've been reprobailor for seven years now. It's a 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.080 great experience. UM really enjoy it and looking forward to 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:42.280 the tournament. An hour goes by and the coaches, well, 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.400 they're oblivious to what their suffering students are going through. 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.200 You can't do that, you can't play one six, And 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:57.400 everyone that one I know verses that, Yes, I feel 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.400 like it'sn consensus is that we are a little bit 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:03.440 just like a tiny it's starving star. How long how 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:05.840 you guys left for the coaches conference? And we thought 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:07.200 like that was the happy hour, so we were like, 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:12.320 bring on the tapas and no, no tapas. Okay, that's 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.520 the opening around. I'll put on this on the website. 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:22.200 It's late, it's freezing and it's raining. The top us 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:26.119 and the fashionable cocktails at the happy hour are going 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.920 to waste this whole let's get together and bond with 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:34.000 your fellow law student thing. Well, it's a total bust. 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.200 I mean the other option is that you'll just go 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:40.080 back to the hotel now and get literally, I prefer that. 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:41.960 I just yeah, I mean we can, we can, I 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.640 mean we could do that. I gotta go with happy 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:46.760 Arab and y'all you can go back. There was teams 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:51.520 that didn't even show up to the this is episode 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:58.559 ten of Class Action. Any given Sunday, the excitement level 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.760 for them is just huge and it just makes all 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.760 of our hearts grow and it's why we do this. 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:10.239 It's extremely fast paced once you're in the competition. Breach 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:14.320 are Vino and Ashley Emil oversee the national competition for 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:18.440 the Texas Young Lawyers Association. There's not a lot of 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.440 time to think once you're in it. You just have 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:23.840 to do what you know that you need to do 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:27.880 and move forward. I think the competition setting is important 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.920 for them to understand how to be good trial lawyers 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.400 when the stakes are high, when there's the pressure on, 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:37.440 when there's the stress to it. As well. This morning, 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:41.120 I will go befoward and was dressing. I couldn't I 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:42.920 couldn't go back to bed, and I was like, oh 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.200 my gosh, I'm gonna pass out, like I'm not sleeping 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.040 enough and I have to go two rounds, Like what 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.959 if that happens? And then Andy woke up finally, and 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.640 I'm like Andy just like no, no, we're switching. And 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:56.240 I was like, okay, So my main job is just 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.160 to make sure all those cats are heard it at 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:02.920 the beginning, make sure they're on coach. Jason Goss comes 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.559 across like a good old boy, but just below the surface, 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:10.960 he's hell bent on a trophy. Jason was the star 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.800 attorney on the last Saint Mary's team to make it 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:20.320 to Nationals way back in two thousand. How a killer. 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:27.520 How need road every time because if you don't, which 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:29.679 would be the last one problem did you ever do? 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:34.840 When you're up everything rightes on this weekend, you gotta 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:42.160 kill him. South Texas is very good. I mean they're 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:44.920 just they're always very good. Same Mary's always goes against 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:48.959 South Texas and Taylor always every year since I've been here, 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.160 every year, and it's always hard and that's good and 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.760 if you beat him, you feel really good. Going both ways, 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.200 some of the facts start to blur a little bit together, 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.719 especially since some of the initial stuff and openings and 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.640 crosses and directs kind of are similar questions, So it 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.280 would throw me off. So I saw that I had 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:10.719 two ties that are kind of similar in design. So 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.920 in side of gold is defense. I've always been told 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.520 red is a prosecution color, So I think blue is 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:21.080 a proper because we're good guys. Well, red red as 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.720 prosecution for me. So that's how I keep it straight, 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:33.640 all right. Uh? Calling to order Cause number one eight 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:41.319 three three three the State of lone Star versus Timmy Williams. Uh, 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:46.160 we're on the record. Does the state have any emotions? Yes, 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.920 your honor. By way of background, the defendant in today's case, 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:53.160 Timmy Williams, is being charged with possession of the controlled 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:56.040 substance with the intent to deliver. Now, the defendant was 0:10:56.080 --> 0:11:00.680 found in apartment number one along with cocaine and other 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:05.560 associated drug paraphernalia. Now the apartment in question is listed 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:12.319 under Tommy Williams, who's the defendant's brother. Yes, your honor, 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.040 we are here today on a possession of a controlled 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:19.760 substance with intent to deliver. That controlled substance being cocaine. 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.920 A key issue in today's case is who had actual care, 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:26.240 custody and control. It will be our defense that Tommy 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.720 Williams was the one who had actual care, custody and control. 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:34.720 That's an officer Perez took the drugs from upstairs, walked 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.319 them downstairs to a table where there was a scale. 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:43.439 So he took the cocaine from upstairs, brought it downstairs, 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:47.200 placed it on this scale, and then took the photograph. 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:51.040 Um it would be misleading the jury as it was 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:56.199 manipulated in stage for this photograph to be taken. After 0:11:56.400 --> 0:12:00.440 months on Zoo, Jasmine finally has the opportunit unity to 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:04.719 take advantage of the dynamics of a real courtroom. I 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:10.560 may I approach the witness. Cole who's normally pretty shy, 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:14.200 can finally lead those I want to talk about that scale. 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.199 Do you see that skill there? Yes, you didn't check 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.880 that scale for fingerprints? Did you know you didn't check 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:24.320 that scale for cocaine? And of course Jasmine can have 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:28.480 her hair just right, her nails flawless, as she likes 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:32.160 to say. Everyone is making eye contact with the witness, 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:36.360 the judge, and the other team. It's a revelation. It 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:42.200 was the perfect example of delivery because it was manipulated 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:46.200 in many ways. The defense case, it's juicier. They can 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:51.040 argue that investigators rushed to judgment, that they staged the evidence. 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:55.840 They didn't even read Timmy Williams is Miranda Lets. You 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.560 didn't talk to anybody that day? Did you know? I 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.240 did not? You didn't talk to anyone there any other time, 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:05.880 did you. No prosecution is supposed to keep us safe. 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.080 Where it's these supposed to keep the government in check. 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.959 You have to keep the bad cops in check, and 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.960 you have to hammer them hard. You didn't talk to 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.720 the landlord of that apartment comp You never tried to 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:20.280 examine a lease agreements. You never tried to verify who 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:24.520 actually owned apartment one two three, did you? So there's 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.400 this weird dynamic. You know, it sounds bad making an 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:29.600 example because you don't want to go too far, but 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.200 you also don't want to you know, convicts in the 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.040 court of public opinion the copy did nothing wrong, but 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.559 you might have to imply that they did something wrong 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:41.920 in order to serve your client. So you can either 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:45.840 choose to do what is right or what is easy, 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.960 and the state has chosen to do what is easy. 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.720 Members the jury, we're asking you to do what is 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.840 right when you see that verdict form to find Mr 0:13:55.920 --> 0:14:00.720 Williams not guilty. Thank you cancers. At this point we're 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:05.200 going to submit the matter to the jury. Uh and 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.760 so we are in recess until that point off the record, 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:16.480 all right, So I mean I feel good about them. 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.320 You know, we'll just kind of see. It's gonna be 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.880 interesting because if they do well in these first two rounds, 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.080 are gonna be going against the best and the third 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:29.160 and fourth and everybody's gonna knocking each other down. So 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:34.920 that's that's a good thing. It's a surprisingly good first 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:38.600 day for the St. Mary's team. They win this round 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:42.320 as well as the next, with Andy wearing her prosecutor's hat, 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:48.000 ripping apart the key witness for the defense. Yes, Mr Williams, 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.600 according to you, the scales and the scale and this 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:54.240 photo isn't yours. It is not according to you, the 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:58.000 straws aren't yours. According to you, the little baggies aren't yours. 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.720 And according to you, the coke Hayne isn't yours. And 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:05.320 according to you, you're Tommy Williams. Right. Not according to me, 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:06.960 on Timmy Williams. But that's not what you told the 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.320 police on the day that you were arrested. That's accurate 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:13.280 for the questions at this time. Oh okay, I'm sorry. 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:15.800 I'm still waiting to hear from this round in this 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:17.640 round to find out who the presiding judges. But I 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:19.520 know Bill Ford's praying dudge guy saw him on the 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:24.240 bench in that one. Okay, It's the second day of 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:27.280 the regional tournament and head coach A. J. Blito de 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:31.840 Luna is volunteering to help judge Weems with the scoring system. 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:35.360 It's a complex job and something he's done throughout his 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:40.480 career in the trial advocacy world. AJ maintains his neutrality, 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.080 but he can't help but be excited at how well 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:47.760 his team is too. Are our St. Mary's two team 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.480 of Team one sixty three. They're the ones that just 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:56.440 swept that last round. They're facing the Baylor team, um, 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.240 which is happens to be in the first place. We 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.520 have a tough match up, but this is where this 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.840 is where we're supposed to be. You want to be 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:07.920 in the arena with the big boys, right with the 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:11.720 big teams. That's that's where you want to be. You 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:15.760 want to be playing against the best players. And the 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.120 fact that they you know, they came out of the basement, 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:22.520 so there's a lot more about their character. I really 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.000 really just hope that we like break this fake curse. 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.080 That everyone is talking, you know, like we just haven't 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:31.200 we haven't, we haven't advanced in so long, Like I 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:34.760 really just want to be the team that does it. 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:37.760 It's time. We've waited long enough and we know that 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:39.080 we got it, So we just got to do it 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:44.560 for Andy, Jasmine and Cole. Their entire season is on 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:50.320 the line. Ye was a council Thanks a gentleman the jury, 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:55.440 Please the court. Two wrongs don't make a right. Three 0:16:55.480 --> 0:17:00.040 lies don't make a truth. And this trial, Mike Ho 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.640 counsel is gonna come before you, Miss Andy Viscotta. She's 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:05.320 gonna go through all of the evidence that you saw 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:08.720 today and you're gonna see the wrongs of the defendant 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:12.160 and the lies of the defendant don't make it true. 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.240 She's gonna show you how we have met our burden 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.520 of proof, and she will ask you to find the defendant, 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:26.520 Timmy Williams guilty. Baylor is not fooling around. They bring 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:30.840 in their a team, may please the court. My name 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:34.600 is Christopher Crant and I'm proud to be here representing 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:41.080 Timmy Williams. Just a moment ago, the state came before 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.960 you and they spent most of their time talking about 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:48.119 the fact that Timmy Williams. Well, they're gonna tell you 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:52.840 over and over and over and over again that he's 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.960 a liar. He's a liar. You shouldn't trust him checking 0:17:56.000 --> 0:18:00.040 your honor. Apologize. But this is getting into signific me 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:05.520 argument in the territory of hope existence in general, I try. 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.719 I am a fairly quiet person, keep to myself, and 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:12.320 I don't confront people here. To me, it makes sense 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:13.960 for me to be a little more snippy and a 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.520 little more aggressive. You give me an assignment, I do it. 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:24.360 Maybe it's because it's Baylor, or maybe it's the pressure 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:28.800 or the threat of elimination, but it's obvious these lawyers 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:32.280 really don't like each other. The mascot for Baylor is 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:38.280 the bear for St. Mary's. It's the rattlesnake. Mr Williams. 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:39.840 How many times would you say that you lied to 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:42.000 law enforcement on the day that you were arrested. Mr Williams, 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.000 you told that the law enforcement that day that you 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:46.920 were talking about doing that. You're also throwing your brother 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:49.600 under the bus. So the truth is, throughout the entire 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:56.480 course of your investigation, you found no evidence Timmy Williams 0:18:56.520 --> 0:19:02.640 ever received any payment in exchange for drugs. I found 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:06.800 no money. Correct, you found no evidence Timmy Williams communicated 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:13.119 with anyone whatsoever to buy or sell two pieces of 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:19.000 key evidence with your bare hands. So, Officer pres you 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:24.600 staged this photograph. I disagree with that. In stage and 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:27.320 gentlemen of the jury, we learned today that when Timmy 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.240 Williams is back is against the wall, what he does 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:35.240 his lie. Today, you have the power to deliver a 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:38.440 verdict based on the truth. I asked that you find 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:43.560 the defendant guilty today. May it please the court? It 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:45.800 is a scary society for us to live in, to 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:48.560 think that you can visit somebody's house and because that 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:54.440 somebody else has something incriminating upstairs, you could be found guilty. 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:59.760 He had nothing to hide, That's what they told you. 0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:06.040 If you had nothing to hide, why lie? If you 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:10.600 had nothing to hide, why would you ask how do 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:13.760 I get out of these charges? Why not say? Wait? WHOA, 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:16.359 this has gone too far. I'm not Tommy, I'm Timmy. 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:21.800 Those aren't my drugs objection. I'm sorry to interrupt. I 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:26.720 asked that to be stricken, let's move if he had 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:36.440 nothing to hide. While Andy, your style is great, I knew. 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:38.760 I knew from your face you didn't like my original 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:42.240 ruling on on the conversation. No, I mean, it's fine, 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:45.320 and it's okay to be disappointed, right, it's fine. But 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:47.160 I like the way you came back, and you came 0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:50.119 back in a very respectful way, and you had new evidence. 0:20:51.200 --> 0:21:00.280 Uh Andy, gosh, you're such a good advocate. Cole. Also, man, y'all, 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:04.480 both of you guys are the team super professionals. Christopher, 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:10.919 you are an excellent storyteller. Danielle really good. You're a 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:14.200 really good listener. But maybe don't get too aggressive right 0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:22.879 off the back. God, alright, so the part that you 0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:26.040 care about, you know, the teams that are advancing in 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:29.440 the semifinals for Regent ten, then the three thirty third 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:35.520 on prosecution will be Team three fifty Baylor two. Okay, 0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:46.720 first team one sixty three, say Eric. And then the 0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:50.240 last team in the semifinal round will be in the 0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:59.680 team three forty nine Baylor one. Persis Team one six 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:09.159 Saint Mary. Y'all broke, I'm sure y'all have work to 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:10.879 do for the rest of you. Didn't break. We thank 0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:19.080 you so much for coming there. Help because you need 0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:30.240 crete she's a much No, I'm happy, proud of all. 0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:32.560 I've told you all, y'all are gonna be in your 0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:42.480 need you guys, we are like, we don't take Elsie 0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:50.240 give us. Finally we broke. We made it to the 0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:54.439 next round where going to the semifinals, and then it's unreal. 0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:58.480 It's very sad, it's so happy. We can't remember was 0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:05.000 the last time St. Mary's advanced two teams in this 0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:10.960 competition to the next round and a live competition. But 0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:14.600 the last time that we had two teams advance, especially 0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:18.359 the gauntlet that we went through, it's pretty amazing. So 0:23:19.280 --> 0:23:23.320 hopefully we're not done today when they're out of the van, 0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:26.280 they weren't going to lose and they did exactly what 0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:30.840 they needed to do against superb teams. So I'm I'm 0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:37.040 ecstatic right now. But it's not good enough business Spensis 0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:39.600 two thousand eight. Since we made it to the nationals, 0:23:41.240 --> 0:23:44.000 we need them, we need them to do it. So 0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:50.920 I am patiously optimistic Colors. So here's the here's the 0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:56.840 thing tomorrow. When you go in now, it's for real. 0:23:57.359 --> 0:23:59.040 You lay it all out there because the one thing 0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:02.040 you don't want to go back and set I put 0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:05.560 it down more and at I was tired, which I'm 0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:08.320 worried about that I'm waking up tomorrow and saying, oh 0:24:08.400 --> 0:24:12.040 my god, we're facing Baylor. Faylor is the best tile 0:24:12.080 --> 0:24:15.879 at program in the coat. They really are facing that. 0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:19.879 There's a big he can't get to the dashing A 0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:23.800 Championship without getting there there, so it's gonna be hard. 0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:25.440 It's gonna be a hard day. They can do their 0:24:25.480 --> 0:24:37.280 best and it's still not like so we're going back 0:24:37.320 --> 0:24:40.800 to the hotel. The team piles into the van and 0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:43.960 heads back to the hotel and he calls a team 0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:47.680 meeting in her room. Jasmine's already in her pj's and 0:24:47.760 --> 0:24:51.959 fuzzy slippers. Wait can I I say the first thing? 0:24:52.080 --> 0:24:55.320 Oh yeah, sure, leave the meeting cup. What can we 0:24:55.600 --> 0:24:59.000 do to better the rally had this morning? Because it 0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:02.400 was a good round, but we need to be great Jasmine, Yeah, 0:25:02.600 --> 0:25:04.960 like today I was better than that. You were great 0:25:05.640 --> 0:25:08.440 and you're just like you're on it. Next level of 0:25:08.520 --> 0:25:11.280 that is like, yeah, Baylor's tomorrow. I don't think like 0:25:11.400 --> 0:25:13.200 we should get really psyched out about it because like 0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:15.879 I'm not. We did it today and like we did 0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:19.600 it today, call you eat pre trial. If you don't 0:25:19.640 --> 0:25:23.320 crying help, sorry, you have no You have to assert 0:25:23.359 --> 0:25:26.080 your you're the anchor. You have to assert your dominance 0:25:26.119 --> 0:25:29.000 from the beginning. It's your time, it's your clock, it's 0:25:29.040 --> 0:25:33.280 your room, it's your trial to your case like tomorrow 0:25:33.400 --> 0:25:37.560 it's Baylor, so like, read the room, read the witness, 0:25:37.600 --> 0:25:40.480 read the judge, and apply your cross accordingly. But even 0:25:40.520 --> 0:25:42.960 if it has to be a stop cross, like we're 0:25:43.000 --> 0:25:46.639 actually your job is done by noon, Jasmine. Think about 0:25:46.680 --> 0:25:49.000 that afternoon You're like, I just need to get it 0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:52.320 to you, and I'm good once we get But most 0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:55.919 likely they're gonna start to brass. There's no way they 0:25:55.960 --> 0:25:59.159 gave St. Mary's two defenses and the semifinal around and 0:25:59.240 --> 0:26:01.960 they're not gonna like it's weird. It's maybe years of 0:26:02.040 --> 0:26:07.920 my issues. I don't feel like Jesus, you screamed to 0:26:08.000 --> 0:26:13.399 everybody loved me, I scream don't. I don't want you 0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:16.760 to love me people. That's what it is. There's some 0:26:16.880 --> 0:26:20.760 deepness there, all right, I appreciate it. What do you think? Cool? 0:26:20.760 --> 0:26:23.560 How are you feeling? Yeah? Cool? You actually have done 0:26:23.640 --> 0:26:27.000 the most work ever, Like you've been astrative gangster g 0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:30.359 every round it's gonna do it again to wall Yeah, 0:26:30.760 --> 0:26:35.440 he said, you are the glue to this team. You 0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:37.800 are the glue to this team without you. Jasmine's so 0:26:37.840 --> 0:26:41.000 we're talking about what's good at dinner. Yeah, bad, it's bad, 0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:45.320 Like you make us better. Dad was in the Marines 0:26:46.359 --> 0:26:49.840 a few years before I was born. My mom's father, 0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:53.000 he was in the Air Force. Military is just something 0:26:53.080 --> 0:26:57.280 I sort of grew up interested in. People watch whatever 0:26:57.359 --> 0:26:59.560 TV shows, reality shows or whatever. I'd be watching some 0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:02.840 military very documentary or some something like that just because 0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:07.360 that's what I found interesting. So my dad, he's all 0:27:07.480 --> 0:27:10.800 for Joint Military, very supportive of it. My biological father 0:27:10.920 --> 0:27:12.760 is the same way. He's put me in contact with 0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:15.240 people that he knows that were former JAG to talk 0:27:15.280 --> 0:27:17.960 to them and learn more about the program. My mom 0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:22.800 isn't as thrilled about it, that motherly protection kind of thing. Um. 0:27:22.920 --> 0:27:25.320 She thought the JAG was a civilian thing where they 0:27:25.400 --> 0:27:27.240 just work for the military. She didn't realize it was 0:27:27.240 --> 0:27:29.879 actual military. So if I did JAG, it would be 0:27:29.960 --> 0:27:33.160 basic training, should be officer kind of get school after 0:27:33.280 --> 0:27:38.000 that and then JAG training. A lot of attorneys, um, 0:27:38.119 --> 0:27:39.800 a lot of law students at least they need to 0:27:39.840 --> 0:27:41.760
