CHIEF JUSTICE<br />
People of the State of Illinois vs.<br />
Clarence Wilcox.<br />
The three robed Illinois Appelate Justices. Now in their<br />
chairs. Will approaches the lone podium as...<br />
CHIEF JUSTICE (CONT’D)<br />
Mr. Gardner, we’ve read your brief,<br />
and we’re now prepared for oral<br />
arguments. You may begin.<br />
WILL<br />
Thank you, Chief Justice. May it<br />
please the court... six years ago<br />
Clarence Wilcox, a 24-year-old<br />
Chicago man, was arrested for the<br />
murder of a plainclothes officer<br />
during the robbery of a grocery<br />
store in South Chicago.<br />

WILL (CONT'D)<br />
It is our contention that Clarence<br />
Wilcox did not receive a fair<br />
trial. He has spent the last six<br />

“undue publicity” arguments.<br />
Will looks up, surprised, as Cary turns to Alicia: fuck yeah.<br />
WILL<br />
Yes, your honor. It is our<br />
contention that Clarence Wilcox--<br />
CHIEF JUSTICE<br />
How is it different from the Scott<br />
Peterson appeal? That also<br />
involved a TV movie released prior<br />
to jury selection.<br />
Will nods-- the TV movie argument-- and turns slightly toward<br />
Alicia and Cary:-- the closest a partner gets to a shout-out.<br />
WILL<br />
Yes, well, your honor, in that<br />
case, the TV movie didn’t show the<br />
Peterson character murdering his<br />
victim. In COP KILLER, our client<br />
is shown shooting the victim.<br />
