I found out early on
as a lawyer…
it doesn't matter
about the law.
It's about…
being able to tell a story.
When you turn a courtroom
into a studio,
you have to turn reality
into a story.
With good guys,
bad guys, drama.
You've got to come up
with ways
to become part
of the news cycle.
I'm not saying
that trials are theater,
but the court of public opinion
is very important.
Because if everybody
in the building
likes these guys,
they must be the good guys,
right?
Nobody had
committed murder
as a result
of being on a trash talk show.
-You used those people.
-That's not the way I see it.
I wanted to kill those guys.
If it bleeds, it leads.
He raised me 500 grand,
if I made him a senator.
He absolutely embraced
the media's attention.
You ain't seen nothing yet.
The NYPD shot someone
41 times.
No more, no more!
The media
didn't have any interest
in discussing who he was.
Everything was done
for the purpose of ratings,
and ratings are money.
I really wasn't sure that
what I was seeing was real.
Stop the cameras.
Let's stop right here.
