He's a fucking good writer. 172 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 2: He's a better writer than I am. Very good writer, 173 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 2: very good writer. He knows the law pretty much better 174 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 2: than anybody else does. And he comes with this knowledge 175 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 2: base that nobody else hans. Nobody it's a real advantage 176 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 2: to have in. 177 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 3: Him, and Derek in turn believes it's a real advantage 178 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 3: having Justin. He knows Justin is still not the most 179 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 3: experienced lawyer, to say the least, but he sees something 180 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 3: else than Justin. 181 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 2: Justin would stand up in front of a judge and say, Judge, 182 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 2: you're wrong, and be upset and angry and argue. 183 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 3: And he's young enough to be bothered by now. Derek 184 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 3: and Justin have worked on a lot of legal challenges 185 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 3: and appeals together all over the United States, and Justin 186 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 3: says there's a big difference between New York and everywhere else, 187 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 3: which gets this excitable Justin well excited. 188 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 2: I will tell you I've handled cases in Maine, I've 189 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,119 Speaker 2: handled cases in Georgia. I've handed cases in North Carolina. 190 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 2: They want to wrap a motherfucker in not just through testimony, 191 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 2: they want to do it through forensics and everything. You 192 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 2: don't see that in the NYPD, and it's not because 193 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 2: they're not capable of that. 194 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 3: And the DA's what about their. 195 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 2: Outlook, das really is they don't really play too fair. 196 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 2: It's the problem. They don't believe defendants are ever innocent 197 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 2: to take a hard line stance across the board. 198 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 3: How does Justin think Scarcela fits into all of this? 199 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 2: It's that he is a fucking tip of Iceberg. Now 200 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 2: got two cases in me, now, single eyewitness cases right 201 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 2: now that I almost positive I can prove that the 202 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 2: witnesses didn't see how the person got shot through recreating 203 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 2: the crime scene. But the DA's office and the medical 204 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 2: examiner won't let me get the pictures of the victim. 205 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 2: I got one guy who says that my guy shot 206 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 2: this guy in the back of his head, but the 207 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 2: autopsy report shows that the guy was shot in the 208 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 2: front of his head and the bullet went out his back. 209 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 2: And he says, my guy is five foot eleven. It 210 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 2: just happens to be that my guy could have been 211 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 2: fucking Latreull's free. Well, he's six foot five. 212 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 3: So Justin and Derek have become a magnet for hopeless cases. 213 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 2: I have eighty cases, eighty eighty, and I got probably 214 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 2: thirty guys that were at the very least, at the 215 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 2: very least they didn't receive a fair trial. Most of 216 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 2: those men are innocent. I would say, over twenty guys 217 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 2: in New York. Yes, are innocent that I can pools 218 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 2: their innocence.
