All Rise

That man... Travis... ruined my daughter's life!

He will ruin the life of my granddaughter.

He should pay for what he did.

Don't say that about him, Mama.

- Abbey, please. - Ma'am, I see you love Travis,

but this is a sentencing hearing,

and your mother has the right

to make a statement against him.

Please proceed, Mrs. Harper.

Travis got caught stealing this car,

but he stole from me. He lies.

Judge, you let him go, it's gonna be worse.

You need to teach him a lesson.

You're always cutting him down

- about his hair... - Mr. Watkins.

- ...about him finding a job. - Weeds need cuttin' down!

Order! Order!

Ma'am, please step down.

Deputy Thomas.

All right, let's take a brief recess...

Hands behind your back.

...to get our passions under control.

Mr. Watkins...

Your Honor, a moment of your time.

Mr. Fisk, your trial doesn't start until later today.

Well, Your Honor, I'd hoped you'd respond

to my motion for summary judgment,

and Carissa Shaw could walk free now.

First of all, I've already granted your motion

to have your clients' priors excluded,

which is huge in an armed robbery case.

I suggest you take that win.

Sherri, please call Maintenance.

I did, 20 minutes ago, Your Honor.

Second of all, Mr. Fisk, I have no doubt

that you are an excellent divorce attorney,

but summary judgments are a civil matter.

If you want to help Carissa,

I suggest you brush up on your criminal procedure.

Judge Carmichael, rest assured, I understand the law

and only have my client's best interests at heart.

I'll do everything in my power to help Carissa.

We're almost there, Ms. Shaw.

I didn't rob that store.

Don't even have a gun. I ain't messing with another strike.

That's wise.

Cashier saw a chick with a bandana on her face,

saying it's me. How? How does he know that?

- He doesn't, right? - I couldn't say.

My daddy did me one last favor.

He got me this Fisk guy.

Last lawyer totally screwed me.

Court-appointed public defender.

Couldn't do nothing, hung me out.

Two years in prison later.

You ever hear of the Marsden motion?

- Martian? - Marsden.

If you think your public defender

isn't doing right by you, tell the judge.

Marsden motion. And you can fire your P.D.

Where were you the first two strikes?

Let's go.

Carissa, hey. You're back.

Feels like I never left.

Hey, moving day, right?

Yeah. New start.

Hey, if you're trying new things...

I'll catch up with you later, okay?

- What was that about? - What? Luke?

I don't know. Help with moving?

Uh, I meant the stink eye with that prisoner.

Carissa. I was the P.D. on her first strike.

Conviction. She must have just gotten out.

- Guess she missed us. - When she transferred to state prison,

the P.D.'s office... we helped her get into a treatment program.

I hoped that she was gonna turn things around.

And there you have it.

The great sea of humanity is destined to disappoint.

Okay, Danny Stahler, welcome.

Four counts... felony residential burglary,

one homeowner reports stolen jewelry.

Pretty straightforward, Mr. Stahler.

You were found in the house.

You can save us some time and the taxpayers some money.

Minimum is two years. If you plea that out,

- I'll make sure that... - I'm gonna stop you right there, Mark.

I'm sure you're familiar with the unconsciousness defense?

- You gotta be kidding me. - Mr. Stahler was sleepwalking

during the time of his alleged crimes.

He could not form the intent to commit felony burglary.

At worst, he's guilty of aggravated trespass.

- A misdemeanor. - 5 grand of jewelry is missing.

- Was he sleep-shopping or... - Danny's distraught.

He lost his job.

- He's facing foreclosure. - Ah. There's your motive.

He hasn't let himself sleep since his arrest.

He's afraid of what he might do. Misdemeanor trespass.

Come on, Val. That's not a serious offer.

Otherwise, we'll see you in court.

- I'll counter with my own sleep expert. - Knock yourself out.

I'm so tired.

I'm so tired all of the time.

Just tired enough to break into a few houses

and steal some stuff. Yeah.

We're done here.

- Thank you so much. - Thank you.

- Hey. - Hi! Today's the day.

Absolutely. My client finally accepted

a sweet plea deal.

- Move-in day. - With you. Excited!

I'm so excited. Let's talk housewarming party.

- Hey, Sherri. - Maintenance is not responding.

I took matters into my own hands.

Where did you find...

There weren't enough on the eighth floor.

So you raided all the supply closets?

I prefer the term "emergency redistribution."

Remind me, we need paper towels!

Thank you.

Sherri, escort me to chambers?

Mr. Callan. Come to witness me make the sentencing call

on my grand theft auto case?

Thinking jail time or probation, Your Honor?

I haven't spoken to my defendant yet,

and that is not an appropriate question, counsel.

What's up with the towel brigade?

- Maintenance is on it. - They've been notified.

Let me try calling him again.

Does maintenance not realize this is an emergency?

Just got to know the right person to call.

Start with Jake.

Jake. Who's Jake?

Okay, spill it. What's up?

"Burnt Wick tonight. Stop by. Catch up."

Your dad's making an effort.

Or he needs money.

- This is creepy. - What?

Sitting down here, looking up at you.

- Ugh. - Try the view from up here.

Reserving judgment until you've heard

what everyone has to say,

holding people accountable for their actions

and, when appropriate,

giving them the opportunity to do better.

Wait. Are we talking about sentencing or my father?

Hmm. Sphinx-like judge.

I don't have the words, Your Honor, for how sorry I am.

I made a mistake,

and I don't want to make excuses.

I appreciate that, Mr. Bolson, but I'm interested

in what you were thinking at the time of your crime.

I wasn't thinking. Abbey was sick.

Our baby girl Nevaeh was on the way,

and we needed cash.

I know now that there is no quick fix,

and I'm committed to doing right by my family.

I got this ink to remind me of my priorities.

I got a job, and I'm gonna do this the slow way,

the hard way, and whether I get to start that now,

or I gotta wait three years, that don't change my resolve.

Thank you for your candor, Mr. Bolson.

You are hereby sentenced to the maximum

for the crime of grand theft auto... three years.

However, as this is your first offense,

I am suspending that sentence and placing you on probation...

credit for time you've served,

100 hours of community service.

I want you to have every incentive

to keep your promises.

If you show up in this courtroom again,

you will immediately receive that sentence of three years.

No ifs, ands, or I'm sorrys.

- Is that understood? - Yes, Your Honor.

Then that will be the order.

Aah!

Ohh!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Back up! Back up!

- Ohh! - Come on, back up!

Ohh!

Really? Our case files.

- I'm going in. - I wouldn't do that.

Nothing goes out or in until testing is complete.

I have a trial starting in 10.

Use Judge Rogstad's court. He's on vacation.

Right. I heard he needed a rest.

And rehab. Oh, sorry.

Were we using euphemisms?

Courtroom 814 is your new home,

and it comes with its own Judicial Assistant,

Mr. Sai Dalal.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Dr. Dalal, we would like to get our docket back on schedule.

You can arrange with Ms. Kansky...

I'm so sorry, Your Honor.

Technically in the bylaws,

J.A.s are assigned to the courtroom.

Technically, that's accurate, but...

I have the right... obligation, actually...

to stay in my court.
