well, obviously i was under the impression he wanted to buy them. if you hadn t met detective [ bleep ] would you have ever sold anyone s checks? no. if i wouldn t have never met him, i wouldn t be here right now. thank you. kunkel must now face off against the prosecutor. and the first thing that you asked detective [ bleep ], and did you see the other person in the car? yes. okay. and that was detective [ bleep ]? yes. and so the first thing you said to them is, hey, you guys cops? yeah. so you wondered if they were cops? yes, i did. so you knew what you were doing was wrong. no, i just wasn t trying to get wrapped up in anything bad because like i like i was telling the jury earlier, where i m from, the neighborhood i m from, there s police everywhere, so i didn t want to get wrapped up in something like i am in now is what i m saying.
laugh it off. don t disrespect me, i won t disrespect you. after his stay in segregation, kunkel is less interested in respecting inmates than he is in just putting them all behind him. on tuesday? all right. thank you. all right. i start trial tuesday. start picking my jury out tuesday. and just go from there, i guess. knowing he would soon be facing a jury, kunkel s lawyer also advised him to grow his hair. because when you go in there looking the way i look, people are like, damn, this dude s been in prison all his life. he s got to be [ bleep ] up. i don t want people to think that about me. they offered me three plea bargains already and i turned all of them down because i believe that at least one person on that jury panel will be like, you know what, he was entrapped and i can t convict him on that. and if i didn t feel that way, i would have taken the plea bargain a long time ago. let s see what they have to say about it. i m willing to roll the dice.
under way he is released from his courtroom holding cell. although he will be allowed to change into civilian clothing to face the jury, the jury will never know underneath his shirt is a stun belt to prevent any misconduct. this thing isn t going to go off now, isn t it? i don t know. it depends on if you re squirrely. it s kind of sensitive. have you worn one of those before? no. first time. first time? one leg up. first time for everything, you know? you know what it is? i guess it s some type of taser device, i guess. i don t know. i don t know. i don t want to know what it is, to tell you the truth. later, kunkel s moment of truth finally arrives. you do solemnly swear the testimony you re about to give will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you god? yes, i do. he is about to take the stand and hopes to convince a jury that he only sold stolen checks to an undercover officer because he was entrapped.
and before he leaves, kunkel has decided to return to his pretrial look. we re going to shave this dirt off my head. why is that? because i m tired of having it. it was just to show for a minute. people see me with all the tattoos and they re going to think what they want. but you ve got to get to know me as a person, as a man, as a human, you know what i mean, before you jump to conclusions. you know what i m saying? if you take the time to get to know me, you ll see, man, that i i feel i m a caring person, a loving person, a person that has respect, respects others regardless of race and gender, whatever, you know what i mean? but if you cross that line, then, you know, it is what it is, man. i just take a day at a time. you know what i m saying? i m not here to change people s feelings, you know what i m saying? either you like me or you don t. you know what i mean? if you don t like me, tell me. i don t give a damn. you know what i mean? what do you think?
