Judge Omar Noose:
Good afternoon, citizens. Be seated. Counsel. And you, sir, are you Carl Lee Hailey?
Carl Lee Hailey:
Yes sir.
Judge Omar Noose:
Mr. Hailey, I am holding a copy of an indictment returned by the grand jury of Mississippi presenting that Carl Lee Hailey did murder Billy Ray Cobb, a human being, and James Willis Willard, a human being, and did attempt to kill Dwayne Looney, a peace officer, against the peace and dignity of the State of Mississippi. Do you understand the charges against you?
Carl Lee Hailey:
Yes sir.
Judge Omar Noose:
How do you wish to plead?
Carl Lee Hailey:
[pause]
Not guilty, Your Honor.
Jake Tyler Brigance:
The defense enters a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, Your Honor.
Judge Omar Noose:
Your trial is set for July 22nd. All pre-trial motions and matters are to be filed no later than July 8th. Is there anything further?
D.A. Rufus Buckley:
Yes, Your Honor. In the response to the insanity plea, the state requests the defendant be examined by it's own doctors.
Judge Omar Noose:
Granted.
D.A. Rufus Buckley:
Additionally, the state opposes any request for bail.
Jake Tyler Brigance:
But Your Honor, we have not yet asked for bail. Now Governor Buckley cannot oppose a request until one is made. He should have learned that in law school.
D.A. Rufus Buckley:
Your Honor, even Mr. Brigance's meager legal experience should have taught him two things: number one, I have not been elected governor... yet. And number two, he is required to request bail. The state opposes any such request.
Judge Omar Noose:
Well in the future why don't we just wait until he makes the request?
[DA Rufus Buckley nods lightly with a slight smile]
Jake Tyler Brigance:
Thank you, Your Honor. Your Honor, we would like to request bail.
Judge Omar Noose:
Denied. I have never allowed bail in a capital murder case and I don't feel that an exception is called for today.
