Topic: Is justice always just?
Cathy O’Brien is speaking to Steve Harmon before the case begins>
Option 3:
* 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.”
