Quotes 

• Mrs. Fields : I came out of the Video Store, and I walked across the street to my car.

  D.D.A. Gylkowski : So you had a clear view of the crosswalk?

  Mrs. Fields : Yes.

  D.D.A. Gylkowski : Mrs. Fields, would you please tell us what happened next?

  Mrs. Fields : The young lady was in crosswalk, and then the car came out of nowhere knocked her down. It didn't even stop. He kept right on going.

  D.D.A. Gylkowski : Mrs. Fields, I know this all happened very fast, but did you get a good look at the driver?

  Mrs. Fields : He was a white man, about 40 years old and he had a mustache.

  D.D.A. Gylkowski : Would you recognize him if you saw him again?

  Mrs. Fields : I believe I could.

  D.D.A. Gylkowski : Do you see him today in this courtroom?

  Mrs. Fields : Yes. Right there.

  [the juries turned and look at the defendant. Sitting with his lawyer Michael Kuzak] 

  Judge Morris Hood : Please stand, sir, and state your name for the record.

  [the man rise] 

  'Not Sears' Jason Cooper : Jason Cooper, Your Honor.

  [That is not Sears. He is not the client represented by Michael Kuzak] 

  Mrs. Fields : What?

  Michael Kuzak : The record will indicate, Your Honor, that the witness has failed to identify the defendant, Joseph Sears who was sitting right behind me. Mr. Cooper is a paralegal working in my office. He's assisting me on this case.

  D.D.A. Gylkowski : Your Honor, I ask that Mr. Kuzak be sanctioned for this deceptive maneuver.

  Michael Kuzak : Hey, I do not have to tolerate that.

  Judge Morris Hood : Take it easy, Mr. Kuzak. Continue, Ms. Gylkowski.

• Mrs. Fields : They look a lot alike.

  D.D.A. Gylkowski : I agree.

  Michael Kuzak : Objection.

  D.D.A. Gylkowski : Withdrawn. Mrs. Fields, I show a photograph and ask you if you recognize it.

  Mrs. Fields : Yes. The police showed me about ten pictures on the night of the accident. I picked this one out as being the man driving the car.

  D.D.A. Gylkowski : At this time, I would like to introduce into evidence a picture of Mr. Joseph Sears taken at the Culver City Police Department at the time of booking.

  Michael Kuzak : No objection, Your Honor.

  D.D.A. Gylkowski : No further questions for Mrs. Fields, Your Honor.

  Michael Kuzak : No questions.

  Judge Morris Hood : You may step down.
