Ethan Thomas: So, the judge thinks we should offer your client a new plea agreement. Apparently she thinks the community would be better served without this trial.Erin Bruner: How do you feel about it, personally?Ethan Thomas: My job is to represent the interest of the people, make an effort to be objective.Erin Bruner: Hm. I ask because I know you're a churchgoer. Now you're sent to prosecute a man of God.Ethan Thomas: Your priest broke the law and a young girl is dead. If he's a man of God, then personally I think he's even more subject to the laws of moral behavior and punishment. If it were up to me he'd get no deal at all.Erin Bruner: What about forgiveness and compassion? Isn't that part of your creed or does that just get in the way of your work?Ethan Thomas: If you have compassion for your client, counselor, you'll persuade him to accept this: Charges reduced to reckless endangerment, 12 months in a county jail, reducible to 6 plus probation if he can stay out of trouble. Somehow I expect he can manage that, but please understand me... if he refuses I will seek the maximum.
