A.D.A. Zoey Clemmons : My best offer's manslaughter with a maximum sentence of 10 years.
Nick Moats : We're not interested.
A.D.A. Zoey Clemmons : If your client goes down on murder one, he's looking at life without parole.
Walter Phelps : I didn't do it.
A.D.A. Zoey Clemmons : I can tie you to the weapon and the inmate that you killed.
Nick Moats : Your whole case is circumstantial. You wouldn't be plea bargaining if you thought you could prove first-degree murder.
A.D.A. Zoey Clemmons : When the jury looks at Walter, they're gonna see a convict who's already doing a long stretch behind bars. You think they're gonna be predisposed to find him innocent? You're a fool not to take this deal.
Nick Moats : My client is scheduled for parole in 2 months. He's not gonna serve another minute in prison for something he didn't do.
[Looking up time]
Nick Moats : We're due in court.
A.D.A. Zoey Clemmons : I know the judge feels you're qualified to handle this case, but a murder trial is a lot different than writing writs of juggling bogus appeals for your other pals in prison.
[Knocking the door to get the guard]
Nick Moats : I've sat in my cell and read law books 18 hours a day for the past 11 years.
[the guard escorted Phelps out of the door]
Nick Moats : I may not be a lawyer, but I plan to win this case.
[Clemmons will be seeing Moats in court. The guards takes Nick Moats to the courtroom with a handcuffs]
