I don't want to go.

You must come.

I'm not going.

That's something that someone can file.

You must come forth and you must testify.

In this situation, they have filed a writ of habeas corpus saying you would unlawfully detain me.

They filed, through his attorneys, filed a writ of habeas corpus.

Habeas corpus is a fancy Latin phrase that just means you have the body.

You bringing me here has violated my due process because I don't know what I am coming for, which candidly is not the best of arguments.

Usually what ends up happening is after somebody is convicted of a crime and they think they were unlawfully or unjustified when they're in their conviction, they file a habeas corpus petition saying that I am being unlawfully detained.

And that's why two courts, two separate courts said, uh-uh, you've been subpoenaed.

Go testify in front of the grand jury.

And so the court must look to that.

Well, as an American, you have due process.

Same logic what's going on with David's family.

You have a right to challenge.

You have, you know, under amendments of the Constitution, you cannot just go, we want to force you to do something.

You are making me show up so my habeas corpus says you want to have my body.

As an American, we always say we have the right to challenge unconstitutional searches, stops, arrests.

Remember the phrase, you have my body.
