Ellie Harrison:
My client pleads not guilty.
Judge:
Mr. Calloway, is there a bail recommendation from the State?
George Calloway:
Pennsylvania law requires bail be denied in first-degree murder cases. I see no reason not to comply.
Ellie Harrison:
Your Honor, the law requires that bail be denied where proof is evident or presumption is great. In this case, neither exists.
George Calloway:
This does not obviate the flight risk inherent in first-degree murder defendants.
Ellie Harrison:
Are you serious? Your Honor, she's Amish. Violence among them is virtually nonexistent, not to mention the strong ties that they have with their community. She's the least likely flight-risk candidate that I've ever encountered. Thus, bail should be granted.
[seeing his look]
Ellie Harrison:
With certain conditions, of course.
Judge:
Such as?
Ellie Harrison:
That Ms. Fitch be sequestered at her parents' farm, under the supervision of a family member at all times.
George Calloway:
That's absurd, Your Honor. This is a murder one. The-the... we don't know what this young woman is capable of.
