george and carol were watching a movie when he entered the living room and opened fire. george was killed instantly, hit in the face. carol died later of three bullet wounds to her chest.

-- and when you approached the suspect in his apartment, did you identify yourself as a police officer?

in what way?
the defendant fired six times, until his gun was empty. we would like to show you the weapon he used.
and we would like to enter it into court records. it was the same smith and wesson revolver he used to viciously murder george and carol beaman.
the prosecution would like to call mr. steven j. allen to the stand.
mr. allen, would tell the court what you do.
your honor, can we have a moment?
your honor, my colleague's client admits to the killing. i don't see any reason to go through a trial when it's obvious he would like to plead guilty.
if he wants to plead guilty, you have to let him plead guilty.
come on, elliot!
what are you telling me?!
she missed the appointment? she forget you were coming? what?!
she split, our witness split.  can't we keep our evidence and witnesses from disappearing around here? i mean what do i have to do, lock them in the trunk of my car? what the fuck is going on?! i want that bitch back here and on the stand or in jail!
yes.
what the hell?
i don't.  believe so, your honor.
