I'll be glad to try your honor, but to a jury Well, this is no criminal case. I believe it is Because of mr. Crawford's charges are true then Mademoiselle and net is really guilty of extortion and so am I an Extortion is a criminal offense. Are you willing to stand on that if a jury finds against you You'll admit extortion. I will now you go to jail. You and that miss Vargas, too I realize that too. All right.
