Attorney Walsh
- Casey Novak: [after Tessa McKellan has a seizure in the courtroom] The seizure was self-induced. Tessa McKellen intentionally OD'd on insulin.
- Attorney Walsh: Proving my point. She is not fit to stand trial.
- Casey Novak: Your honor, she is manipulating the court. She's faking illness to get sympathy and dodge a life sentence.
- Attorney Walsh: My client is sick, your Honor. She cannot stop. Whenever she's under stress, she will make herself ill.
- Casey Novak: Well, then, gee, why don't we let her off before she injects herself with HIV?
- Judge Lena Petrovsky: Nobody is talking about letting her off, but I'm concerned about another incident like today. I don't think Mrs. McKellen is fit to stand trial at the moment. She needs psychiatric treatment.
- Attorney Walsh: We agree, your Honor. And we ask that because of the rarity of this condition and her paralysis, that she be given treatment in a private hospital, which, of course, my client will pay for.
- Judge Lena Petrovsky: That sounds reasonable.
- Casey Novak: And when she gets out, who's she gonna kill next?
- Judge Lena Petrovsky: That's enough, Counselor.
- Attorney Walsh: My client will surrender in the morning, your honor.
- Judge Lena Petrovsky: Her bail is continued and your request is granted.
- Casey Novak: Your Honor, don't fall for this.
- Judge Lena Petrovsky: Don't question the ruling of this court, Ms. Novak. If and when the defendant is well enough to stand trial, she will. Until then, she will receive the treatment she needs.
