Happy Trails (1990)

Blair Underwood: Jonathan Rollins

Quotes 

• Judge Walter Stone : Members of the Jury, you are not to consider counsel's breakdown, or in any way hold it against the defendant. Mr. Kuzak was simply attempting to get this trial called off for reasons which have nothing to do with the issue before you. Mr. Rollins, please take over.

  Jonathan Rollins : Excuse me?

  ADA Marcia Fusco : Your Honor, under the circumstances, I...

  Judge Walter Stone : I will not reward Mr. Kuzak's outburst by letting him attain his objective. This trial will go forward. Mr. Rollins, please take over where Mr. Kuzak left off.

  Jonathan Rollins : You can't be...

  Judge Walter Stone : I said take up where he left off.

  Jonathan Rollins : Okay. Um...

  [And turned to Brian Chisholm sitting quietly] 

  Jonathan Rollins : Um, I believe he left off, calling you a big chicken bastard worried about reelection. He left out some things.

  Judge Walter Stone : You're in contempt, too. Bailiff! Take Mr. Rollins into custody.

  Jonathan Rollins : He forgot to call you stupid. He forgot to ask who you bribed to get that robe.

  Judge Walter Stone : Get him out.

  Jonathan Rollins : [Caught by the bailiff. Protesting]  Objection! We... Get your hands off me! I want my objection on the record! This is highly prejudicial to us!

  [Mr. Rollins stormed out of the courtroom] 

  Judge Walter Stone : Members of the Jury, I'm sorry. I have no other choice, but to suspend these proceedings and to declare a mistrial.

  Derron Holloway : You're giving them what they want!

  Judge Walter Stone : Shut up, Mr. Holloway. I have no choice. The jury is dismissed. We're done.

  [Mr. Holloway sitting down. Crowds murmuring and complaining]
