entry on December 23 rd that I'm just looking at now and says reviewed correspondence regarding<br />

king for a day from Brent Cole – conference with Cole regarding the same.<br />

______________________________________________________________________________<br />

Haeg: Ok so what you're telling me is you've given the <strong>State</strong> everything, your client has given<br />

up both his wife and him a whole years income, flown in people from around the whole<br />

countryside, and you're telling me you wouldn't even try because it aint goanna do any good<br />

Why do you have a lawyer<br />

Cole: Can I object for just a second because this has – I understand what he's trying to say but<br />

Mr. Haeg has a fundamental misunderstanding <strong>of</strong> the criminal justice system.<br />

Shaw: (...)<br />

Fitzgerald: I think you've asked me a number <strong>of</strong> questions Mr. Haeg and -um- I – I've described<br />

to you what I believe the appropriate steps would be and the appropriate assessment <strong>of</strong> risks<br />

would be with regard to whatever – whatever steps you took.<br />

Haeg: Ok. Can you explain the risks involved in trying to enforce the agreement<br />

Fitzgerald: The risk Mr. Haeg or that if you're not successful before the – if – if you attempt<br />

and indeed do for instance file a motion with the Court and the Court rules as I think it would<br />

with regard to any kind <strong>of</strong> oral terms that it does not have the jurisdiction or ability to intercede<br />

and define those terms then what you've done is you've really drawn a line in the sand with<br />

regard to the Prosecutor and that what you've done is you've made an enemy out<br />

<strong>of</strong> frankly the last person you want to make an enemy <strong>of</strong>. Whether we like it<br />

or not Mr. Haeg us in the defense bar realize quickly that you are not infrequently in a position<br />

where you don't have the leverage and so what relationships you can develop and what ability<br />

you can develop with regard to obtaining good term for your client you want to keep in tact<br />

because when the rubber meets the road and you're a criminal defendant it's typically not a pretty<br />

picture.<br />

Haeg: Well you're correct as I was the rubber that met the road. Ok – in your opinion if<br />

you advocate for your client – excuse me – are you making an enemy<br />

out <strong>of</strong> the Prosecutor<br />

Fitzgerald: It depends on the circumstances.<br />

Haeg: I told you the circumstances. I'll repeat them again. Your client gave a 5 hour interview to<br />

the <strong>State</strong>, gave the <strong>State</strong> maps, gave up a whole years income not for just the client but also the<br />

clients wife most peoples arithmetic that's two years income, then for the Rule 11 Agreement<br />

you fly people in from around the country from Illinois, from a remote lodge Silver Salmon<br />
