You can't do that... 733 00:39:01,697 --> 00:39:05,113 And Mr. Hunt can sit in prison for seven years and think about it. 734 00:39:09,217 --> 00:39:11,040 What do you want, Miss Cabot? 735 00:39:11,489 --> 00:39:15,265 I want your company to begin reporting all cases of communicable diseases. 736 00:39:15,556 --> 00:39:18,720 And when the families of the murder victims and Daniel Varney's wife sue... 737 00:39:18,788 --> 00:39:19,998 you'll settle. 738 00:39:20,515 --> 00:39:23,298 That's extortion. It would cost the company millions. 739 00:39:23,427 --> 00:39:26,876 It'll cost a lot less than going bankrupt because of the publicity. 740 00:39:26,948 --> 00:39:29,665 In the court of public opinion, you're already guilty. 741 00:39:29,732 --> 00:39:32,415 Do you want to take your chances in a real court? 742 00:39:43,972 --> 00:39:46,625 I've read the 37 report on your client, Mr. Newvine. 743 00:39:46,695 --> 00:39:49,661 Do you wish to introduce any other evidence? 744 00:39:50,790 --> 00:39:52,035 No, Your Honor. 745 00:39:52,711 --> 00:39:53,823 Miss Cabot... 746 00:39:53,894 --> 00:39:56,447 does the District Attorney plan to contest the findings? 747 00:39:56,518 --> 00:40:00,032 Not at this time, Your Honor. The People are satisfied with the doctor's report. 748 00:40:00,103 --> 00:40:03,453 Then I rule the defendant Daniel Stephen Varney... 749 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,502 not competent to assist in his own defense... 750 00:40:05,575 --> 00:40:07,649 therefore unfit to proceed to trial. 751 00:40:08,232 --> 00:40:11,582 I order him remanded to the custody of the Office of Mental Health... 752 00:40:11,657 --> 00:40:15,716 to be placed in a secure psychiatric facility until he is fit to proceed. 753 00:40:17,130 --> 00:40:18,755 This court is adjourned. 754 00:40:19,754 --> 00:40:23,235 Until he's fit to proceed.
