A.D.A. Tommy Mullaney : What if you reduce the charge to a misdemeanor? One-year County Jail?
Stan Holzman : The guy receives $6,000 worth of stolen goods. How do you make that into a misdemeanor?
A.D.A. Tommy Mullaney : I think we can figure some special circumstances. I get the conviction, John Rosten does life.
Stan Holzman : That's right.
A.D.A. Tommy Mullaney : Stan, he got caught with stolen doping supplies.

A.D.A. Tommy Mullaney : He did those robberies and serve time for 15 years ago. What happened to a little prosecutorial discretion?
Stan Holzman : The three-strikes laws what happened.
