Leo Fitzpatrick: Darryl Hutchins

Quotes 

• Ellenor Frutt : They're not dismissing.

  Darryl Hutchins : Well, what about doing that motion for discovery.

  Ellenor Frutt : Darryl, we've already...

  Darryl Hutchins : 'Cause they need to discover that I didn't do this.

  Ellenor Frutt : The motion for discovery just asks for state's evidence, which we've already done. What we're talking about now, Darryl, is the trial.

  Darryl Hutchins : Oh. Then we need to do that, right? 'Cause as long as I'm in here, well, then my grandmother's all alone. She's too sick to come to court as it is.

  Ellenor Frutt : I still think our best hope may be with mental health issues. With a borderline I.Q. and your background of physical abuse...

  Darryl Hutchins : I told you before, I don't want to go to a mental hospital. I want to go home.

  Ellenor Frutt : I understand what you're saying, I really do, but if we lose at trial, you won't get to go home, either.

  Darryl Hutchins : But we can't lose 'cause I didn't kill the kid.

  Ellenor Frutt : Well, unfortunately, it doesn't always work that way.

  Darryl Hutchins : But I can tell them I didn't do it.

  Ellenor Frutt : [Nodded]  Yeah. Well, I think the prosecution might ask for more than that.

• Darryl Hutchins : So we're winning, right? It seems like we're winning.

  Ellenor Frutt : I wouldn't say that, Darryl.

  Darryl Hutchins : I think we are. You did great, Ellenor.

  Ellenor Frutt : Darryl, look, um, I need to talk to you a little bit more about this Kenny fellow.

  Darryl Hutchins : He's cool.

  Ellenor Frutt : Yes. Are you sure -- absolutely sure that when you went into the house, you didn't see Kenny do anything?

  Darryl Hutchins : I'm sure. He was just leaving.

  Ellenor Frutt : Okay. Eddie Chessler.

  Darryl Hutchins : Yeah, he's my friend.

  Ellenor Frutt : Yes, I know that. Eddie seems to think that you might be protecting Kenny because, well, you think he's cool. If you are, Darryl, that wouldn't be smart here.

  Darryl Hutchins : You already told me that.

  Ellenor Frutt : But I'm not sure you totally understand it. If you saw this Kenny kid do something to that little boy...

  Darryl Hutchins : I didn't, I promise. You think I'm stupid, don't you?

  Ellenor Frutt : No, Darryl, I don't think that.

  Darryl Hutchins : Yes, you do.

  Ellenor Frutt : Look, I have to go meet Eddie 'cause he's up next, so I want you to get some rest, and I'll see you tomorrow, okay?

  Darryl Hutchins : Yeah.

  Ellenor Frutt : Okay.

  [Darryl will do that] 

  Darryl Hutchins : Ellenor?

  Ellenor Frutt : Yeah?

  Darryl Hutchins : I think we're winning.

  [Ellenor nodded] 

• Mr. Tabbitt : He was always afraid of him.

  A.D.A. Richard Bay : Your son was afraid...

  Mr. Tabbitt : Of him -- the defendant.

  A.D.A. Richard Bay : Did he say why?

  Mr. Tabbitt : Not really. Brian would just say that he was a little off.

  [Darryl slams the table. Judge Kittleson turns to Mr. Hutchins to control himself] 

  Judge Roberta Kittleson : Mr. Hutchins.

  Darryl Hutchins : [Protesting]  I'm not off!

  Ellenor Frutt : [Whispering]  Darryl.

  [Continue] 

  A.D.A. Richard Bay : Mr. Tabbitt, did you regard your son's fears to be serious?

  Mr. Tabbitt : Not enough. I just wish I had done something -- Gone to his grandmother, checked him out.

  Ellenor Frutt : Objection.

  Mr. Tabbitt : How could someone so clearly disturbed be on the street unsupervised? How does that work?

  Ellenor Frutt : Objection.

  Judge Roberta Kittleson : Sustained.

  [Turns to Mr. Bay] 

  Judge Roberta Kittleson : Mr. Bay.

  [Mr. Bay's time is up] 

  A.D.A. Richard Bay : That's all I have.

  [Mr. Tabbitt gasps]
