Cathy O’Brien is speaking to Steve Harmon before the case
begins>
* O’Brien: Let
me make sure you understand what’s going on. Both you and this King character
are on trial for felony murder. Felony murder is as serious as it gets. Sandra
Petrocelli is the prosecutor, and she’s good…The jury might think they’re doing
you a big favor by giving you life in prison. So you’d better take this trial
very, very seriously. When you’re
in court, you sit there and you pay attention. You let the jury know that you think the case is as serious as
they do. You don’t turn and wave to any of your friends.
Steve: Do you think we are going to win?
O’Brien: It probably
depends on what you mean by “win.”
