mr. slocum. nice to see a man who dresses for court. grapevine has it the punch-line is wooton sims. good for you, double-oh-seven. let's see what public service is offering you by way of a send-off: and do you wish to enter a plea at this time? do you have a problem with your appointed counsel, mr. crawford? do the people have an objection or a comment for the record, mr. slocum? willy hesitates, held by crawford's strange, amused gaze. shakes it off: mr. slocum? he likes you. mr. crawford seems to understand his rights and responsibilities. i appreciate your concern for the dignity of my courtroom, mr. slocum - considering you're making the argument dressed as a game-show host. unfortunately, the man is a tax-paying citizen, entitled by our constitution to try and manipulate the legal system, like everybody else. are the people ready to go to trial without a preliminary hearing? willy hesitates, irritated. looks through the file again. checks crawford - waiting, polite. 9:
