What did you do for research for this?
To be a good defense lawyer you have to control time and space — it’s a little like quantum physics. You have to present a reality. I talked a lot with a lawyer, Kenneth Montgomery, and he was telling me this — he’s the lawyer John Stone could have been. But it also has a cost. I’ve always been interested in these cases that are never solved, people are haunted by them, the cost of being involved in them. You see what it does to people. They could be a great lawyer, but they don’t want to deal with the potential consequences of having someone’s life in their hands.
Writer Richard Price and John Turturro
