Every time he gets back from court, WBUR’s David Boeri has a story to tell about Barry Wilson, the attorney representing Boston City Councilor Chuck Turner in his corruption trial.

On Radio Boston today, Boeri described Wilson as a mix of Danny DeVito, Jesse Ventura and Jerry Garcia. He even got into the character a bit. (I’m not sure which is funnier — David Boeri doing Barry Wilson, or Barry Wilson doing Barry Wilson.)

In Boeri’s story for Morning Edition today, we hear two sound bites of Wilson’s exchange with reporters outside the courtroom yesterday. Here’s the unedited audio of the full exchange:

Boeri: Counselor, we see the video today, and now the witness says he did give you cash.

Wilson: So what? You know, a lot of people say a lot of things in that court. We don’t now what happened. I told you, We haven’t seen the fat lady yet! Ya people, you know what I mean, you gotta slow it down, speed it up. What day? What day was it?

Boeri: Counselor, have we closed off one option, now that we know the witness is saying, “Yup, thats the money that I gave Counselor Turner?”

Wilson: Excuse me. If you’ll pay attention. There are a lot of things that were said that were different than were said by other people. I can only give you so much, ’cause I can’t really say anymore than what you see  there. But if you’re all paying attention, I think we had a few inconsistencies, and I think we had some wiiiiide openings that everyone ought to be paying attention to.

Reporter: What are the openings?

Wilson: I am not going to answer that question. You can do better than that, dear!

Reporter: Well, you’re saying pay attention.

Wilson: I’m saying paying attention, think! What do you want me, to be in the judge’s barn tomorrow? Noooo, no, no.

[more dialogue]

Wilson: We’re done!

Hilarious.
