Man Handled

Duration: 56 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Two Wales HD

Judge Kenneth Starr assigns his gentler lead prosecutor, Mike Emmick, to persuade Monica to aid their case. In the room at the hotel near where she was picked up, Emmick tells her she faces various felony charges, including lying under oath about signing the affidavit denying a sexual relationship with President Clinton. However, she may get immunity if she makes some incriminating calls to key players.

Near hysterical under the stress, Monica is appalled at the idea of betraying Clinton or others. Told not to involve a lawyer, Monica instead insists she must speak to her mother, Marcia Lewis, in New York. Starr is under pressure to get results before Clinton gives a deposition in the Paula Jones case the next day, so he sends the aggressive Jackie Bennett to work on Monica.

Marcia lets her ex-husband, Dr Bernie Lewinsky, know of Monica’s plight, and he involves his attorney Bill Ginsburg. Meanwhile, Ann Coulter has been going through the tedious recordings Linda made. Show less
