Alan Rachins: Douglas Brackman, Jr.

Quotes 

• Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Anybody know the whereabouts of our Mr. Morales?

  Gwen Taylor : He had a pro bono arraignment this morning.

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Then let's begin. First, People vs. Emory Lewis and Gary Stubbs. I should hope those animals who beat you will finally get convicted.

  Stuart Markowitz : Unfortunately, the eyewitness backed out. She's afraid of reprisals from neighborhood kids if she testifies.

  Ann Kelsey : That shouldn't affect our case. Stuart was really convincing at the prelim. He'll do even better at trial tomorrow.

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Next, Marciante vs. Bernheimer Memorial Hospital.

  Jonathan Rollins : That's mine. Anthony Marciante's girlfriend is brain dead after an automobile accident. She's also 18 weeks pregnant.

  Gwen Taylor : And being used as an incubator to bring the baby to term. I caught the story on the news. That's grotesque.

  Jonathan Rollins : We're seeking a court order to keep her body functioning long enough to deliver the baby. However, the girlfriend's mother wants to pull the plug and bury her daughter.

  Arnie Becker : I agree. The woman's dead, for God's sake.

  Jonathan Rollins : Arnie, we're talking about a potential human life. Mr. Marciante wants to be a father.

  Gwen Taylor : He should have thought about that before driving himself and his girlfriend off the road, drunk.

  Ann Kelsey : He killed her and now he wants to...

  Jonathan Rollins : It was an accident.

  Stuart Markowitz : He's still has rights.

  Arnie Becker : So had the girl's mother.

  Melina Paros : What about the baby?

  Leland McKenzie : All right, folks. We're all on the same team.

  [But Daniel Morales has arrived late in the meeting] 

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Mr. Morales. Honored that you can join us. How was the arraignment?

  Daniel Morales : Um, People vs. Alejandro Cruz. He's charged with shooting a news vendor who refuse to pay protection money?

  Leland McKenzie : Any extenuating circumstances, Daniel?

  Daniel Morales : No, Leland, not really. I'm trying to have Cruz tried in Juvenile Court, but right now, that's looking doubtful.

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Well, if there's no other business, we're adjourned.

  [Douglas closed his gold hunter case from the pocket watch that the time is up]
