Judge Jamie Ross: *looks at Riley* Mr. Toth, how does your client plead?
Riley Toth, Esq.: Not guilty, your honor.
Judge Jamie Ross: *to Brian* The people on bail?
ADA Brian Peluso: People request 15 hundred
Judge Jamie Ross: For a mickey mouse drug charge, Mr. Peluso?
ADA Brian Peluso : Yes, your honor. Drugs are a big problem in this country.
Judge Jamie Ross: *stifles a laugh* Mr. Toth?
Riley Toth, Esq: Your honor, my client has marijuana for medicinal purposes---it was prescribed for his glaucoma.
ADA Brian Peluso: The prosecution has no evidence of this medical problem, your honor.
Judge Jamie Ross: I don't see a prescription here, Mr. Toth......however, it was a small amount found. Unless the people can give me reason not to, bail will be set at 500 dollars.
Riley Toth, Esq.: *nods*
Judge Jamie Ross: *looks at Brian*
ADA Brian Peluso: Mr. O'Brien is also the primary suspect in a murder investigation.
Judge Jamie Ross: And yet you didn't request remand, Mr. Peluso. I don't think 500 is going to be any more difficult to procure than 1500. Besides, he's not here on a murder charge. He's here on drug possession.
Judge Jamie Ross: Bail is set at 500 dollars. *gavelbang*
