There's no light at council tables, so I'm going to go to the podium with the court's permission.

We need to be heard on this.

That's why we're here, Mr. and Eddie.

Thank you.

I'd like to start with the most outrageous and false assertion that the

public made in its motion. Can I just ask you that there's no jury here? Can I just ask you how long

this is going to take? Between five and ten minutes. Okay. Because I don't need, you know,

the hyperbole. I need to make my argument in the way that I think is most effective for my client.

I will keep this brief and succinct, but I have points to make that I need to put on record.

Okay, and I'm the person you are trying to convince, correct?

I understand that.

The Commonwealth in a public filing wrote the following on page three of its motion.

Quote, during a pretrial hearing on February 15th,

when asked by the court whether there was any dispute about a canine's involvement or canine DNA,

Attorney Yonetti indicated no and that the defense was not pursuing such claim. I was astounded to read that

for two reasons. First of all, it is false. It is a lie. Second, the Commonwealth has knowingly lied

about something where it's easily verifiable that they lied. We pulled the tape from February 15th.

I don't have that.

I'm sorry?

I don't have that in my motion.

It's on page three, Your Honor.

I have the Commonwealth's renewed motion
