Uh, my --
my client pled guilty.

He broke the law.

He knows it was wrong,
but stealing baby formula --

Is that the mother?
Y-Yes.
Yes, Your Honor.

Here's my question.Yes, yes, sir.

Why steal baby formula
when you have milk on tap?

Because she was in agony, Your
Honor, when feeding the baby

because her --
her breasts are engorged.

We don't need to hear
the details.

You asked a question.

I'm giving you the answer,
Your Honor.

The neighbor was banging
on the wall,

yelling for them to be quiet
or he'd come around

and k*ll the damn baby,
and after the longest night

with so sleep, my client
couldn't take it anymore,

'cause what little money
they had left,

they had spent on diapers.

He had no choice but to do
what he did, Your Honor.

There's always a choice,
counselor.

What would you have done,
Your Honor?

This isn't about me.
It's not about you.

It's about
what's out there.

Well, you wanna talk
about that?Let's talk about it.

Jewel Osco just opened
that store.

They took a big chance
investing in the South Side.

What does your client do?
He steals from them.

I have a responsibility
to this community.

I hear you ride a bike,
Your Honor.

What has that got to do
with it?

When you go to the lake,
which way do you turn?

Oh, I'm warning you.
You're very close --

When did you turn to the right,
Your Honor?

When was the last time?

When did you ever turn
to the right, Your Honor?

You said you have
a responsibility

to the South Side,
but you don't go there --

You better be quiet or I will
find you in contempt of court.

No, no, no, Your Honor.

You're gonna punish a little
baby girl, 6 months old,

and send her father,
who loves her, to prison.

What chance does she have
to have a good life

if you take away one parent
and you impoverish the other?

I don't do
