00:01:16.450 --> 00:01:18.650
Thank you very much, sir.

00:01:18.700 --> 00:01:20.951
You did a wonderful job. Wonderful.

00:01:20.952 --> 00:01:23.412
Shh. Shh.

00:01:23.413 --> 00:01:24.913
We did it, Pete. We did it.

00:01:26.916 --> 00:01:28.709
- For a moment, we had our doubts.
- Shh.

00:01:28.710 --> 00:01:32.212
To continue, you've listened
to a long and complex case...

00:01:32.213 --> 00:01:34.089
murder in the first degree.

00:01:34.090 --> 00:01:39.136
A premeditated murder is the most serious
charge tried in our criminal courts.

00:01:39.137 --> 00:01:40.971
You've listened to the testimony.

00:01:40.972 --> 00:01:44.146
You've had the law read to you and
interpreted as it applies in this case.

00:01:44.156 --> 00:01:48.259
It's now your duty to sit down and try
and separate the facts from the fancy.

00:01:48.896 --> 00:01:52.541
One man is dead.
Another man's life is at stake.

00:01:53.234 --> 00:01:57.320
If there's a reasonable doubt in your
minds as to the guilt of the accused...

00:01:57.321 --> 00:01:59.322
a reasonable doubt...

00:01:59.323 --> 00:02:02.200
then you must bring me
a verdict of not guilty.

00:02:02.201 --> 00:02:04.201
Now if, however,
there's no reasonable doubt...

00:02:04.211 --> 00:02:08.188
then you must in good conscience
find the accused guilty.

00:02:09.167 --> 00:02:13.378
However you decide,
your verdict must be unanimous.

00:02:13.379 --> 00:02:16.840
In the event that you find
the accused guilty...

00:02:16.841 --> 00:02:20.260
the bench will not entertain
a recommendation for mercy.

00:02:20.261 --> 00:02:23.555
The death sentence is
mandatory in this case.

00:02:23.556 --> 00:02:27.367
You're faced with a grave responsibility.
Thank you, gentlemen.

00:02:29.270 --> 00:02:31.413
The alternate jurors are excused.

00:02:37.320 --> 00:02:39.421
The jury will now retire.

00:04:37.315 --> 00:04:39.416
Try this one. See if I can get it...

00:04:40.651 --> 00:04:42.502
It's a muggy day.

00:04:45.656 --> 00:04:48.116
Hey. Oh, oh.

00:05:00.087 --> 00:05:02.255
- Piece of gum?
- No, thanks.

00:05:02.256 --> 00:05:04.424
This thing is...

00:05:04.425 --> 00:05:06.151
- Huh?
- ...move it.

00:05:07.678 --> 00:05:10.244
- Come on, I'll give you a hand.
- Give me a hand with that.

00:05:10.254 --> 00:05:11.687
That's it.

00:05:16.896 --> 00:05:18.605
- You know something?
- Yeah?

00:05:18.606 --> 00:05:20.440
I called the weather bureau this morning.

00:05:20.441 --> 00:05:22.442
This is gonna be
the hottest day of the year.

00:05:22.443 --> 00:05:24.110
Could be.

00:05:24.111 --> 00:05:26.677
Boy, you'd think they'd at least
air-condition these places.

00:05:26.687 --> 00:05:29.532
- What is your name, sir?
- Oh, it's, uh... That one, yeah.

00:05:29.533 --> 00:05:31.034
Thank you very much.

00:05:31.035 --> 00:05:33.870
Okay, gentlemen, everybody's here.

00:05:33.871 --> 00:05:36.790
Now, if there's anything you want,
I'll be right outside the door.

00:05:36.791 --> 00:05:39.142
- Just knock.
- Okay, thanks. We will.

00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:50.000
<i><b>FarangSiam thanks you. Enjoy!</b></i>

00:05:51.555 --> 00:05:52.847
Good morning.

00:05:52.848 --> 00:05:54.391
I never knew they locked the door.

00:05:54.392 --> 00:05:56.659
Sure they lock the door.
What'd you think?

00:05:57.645 --> 00:06:00.163
I don't know.
It just never occurred to me.

00:06:01.691 --> 00:06:03.566
What's that for?

00:06:03.567 --> 00:06:05.527
Oh, I thought we might want
to vote by ballot.

00:06:05.528 --> 00:06:08.279
Great idea.
Maybe we can get him elected senator.

00:06:10.449 --> 00:06:12.300
Just in case, you know.

00:06:15.705 --> 00:06:17.914
- How'd you like it?
- Oh, I don't know.

00:06:17.915 --> 00:06:19.666
It was pretty interesting.

00:06:19.667 --> 00:06:21.710
Yeah? I almost fell asleep.

00:06:21.711 --> 00:06:24.379
I mean, I've never been on a jury before.

00:06:24.380 --> 00:06:27.190
No? I've sat on many juries.

00:06:28.259 --> 00:06:31.261
What gets me is the way those lawyers
talk and talk and talk...

00:06:31.262 --> 00:06:33.513
even when it's an open-and-shut
case like this one.

00:06:33.514 --> 00:06:35.428
Did you ever hear so much talk
about nothin'?

00:06:35.438 --> 00:06:37.267
Well, I guess they're entitled.

00:06:37.268 --> 00:06:39.828
Yeah. They're entitled.
It's the system, but...

00:06:40.938 --> 00:06:45.108
If you ask me, I'd slap those tough kids
down before they start any trouble.

00:06:45.109 --> 00:06:47.277
It would save us a lot of time and money.

00:06:47.278 --> 00:06:48.903
- Hey, let's get started, huh?
- That's a good idea.

00:06:48.904 --> 00:06:51.614
Yeah, let's get goin', huh?
We probably all got things to do here.

00:06:51.615 --> 00:06:53.404
I figured we'd start out
with a five-minute break.

00:06:53.414 --> 00:06:54.743
There's one gentleman in the bathroom.

00:06:54.744 --> 00:06:55.785
- Mr. Foreman.
- Huh?

00:06:55.786 --> 00:06:58.663
- Are, uh... Are we gonna sit in order?
- Gee, I don't know.

00:06:58.664 --> 00:07:00.515
I, uh... Well, I guess so.

00:07:05.421 --> 00:07:06.963
Uh, you're in my seat.

00:07:06.964 --> 00:07:09.065
- Oh. Excuse me.
- That's all right.

00:07:11.510 --> 00:07:13.361
Hey, that's not a bad view, huh?

00:07:16.891 --> 00:07:19.434
What did you think of the case?

00:07:19.435 --> 00:07:21.561
I mean, it had a lot of interest for me.

00:07:21.562 --> 00:07:24.789
No real... dead spots.
You know what I mean?

00:07:25.566 --> 00:07:28.109
I tell you, we were lucky
to get a murder case.

00:07:28.110 --> 00:07:30.153
I figured us for an assault or burglary.

00:07:30.154 --> 00:07:32.489
Boy, they can be the dullest.

00:07:33.991 --> 00:07:35.366
Hey.

00:07:35.367 --> 00:07:37.035
That the Woolworth Building?

00:07:37.036 --> 00:07:39.037
That's right.

00:07:39.038 --> 00:07:40.705
Isn't that funny?

00:07:40.706 --> 00:07:43.576
You know, I've lived here all my life.
I've never been inside that.

00:07:43.586 --> 00:07:45.335
If you had to sort out all that junk...

00:07:45.336 --> 00:07:47.504
Like that thing with the movies.

00:07:47.505 --> 00:07:48.770
Yeah. You can say that again.

00:07:48.790 --> 00:07:50.688
And what about that
business with the knife?

00:07:50.689 --> 00:07:53.551
I mean, asking grown-up people
to believe that kind of jazz, huh?

00:07:53.552 --> 00:07:56.096
Well, I expected that.
You know what we're dealing with.

00:07:56.097 --> 00:07:58.640
Yeah, I guess so.

00:07:58.641 --> 00:08:00.468
Well, your horn works.
Now try your lights.

00:08:01.995 --> 00:08:03.561
- What do you got, a cold?
- And how.

00:08:03.562 --> 00:08:05.855
These hot-weather colds can kill you.

00:08:05.856 --> 00:08:08.358
I can hardly touch my nose.
You know what I mean?

00:08:08.359 --> 00:08:11.986
I sure do. I just got over one.

00:08:11.987 --> 00:08:14.260
Aw, come on. Mr. Foreman,
let's go here, huh?

00:08:14.286 --> 00:08:16.533
Well, that guy's still in the bathroom.

00:08:16.534 --> 00:08:19.452
Hey, what's new? I didn't get
a chance to see a paper this morning.

00:08:19.453 --> 00:08:20.620
Hmm?

00:08:20.621 --> 00:08:23.123
I was only wondering
how the market closed.

00:08:23.124 --> 00:08:25.917
You got a seat on the Exchange?

00:08:25.918 --> 00:08:27.752
I'm a broker.

00:08:27.753 --> 00:08:32.215
I run a messenger service...
the Beck and Call Company.

00:08:32.216 --> 00:08:34.425
The name is my wife's idea.

00:08:34.426 --> 00:08:38.138
Got 37 men working. Started with nothing.

00:08:38.139 --> 00:08:41.391
Okay, men, let's take our seats, huh?

00:08:44.478 --> 00:08:46.396
Yeah, we can all get outta here
pretty quick, huh?

00:08:46.397 --> 00:08:47.919
I don't know about the rest of you,

00:08:47.945 --> 00:08:50.293
but I happen to have tickets
to that ball game tonight.

00:08:50.303 --> 00:08:51.609
Yanks and Cleveland.

00:08:51.610 --> 00:08:53.524
Yeah, we got this kid,
Modjelewski, in there.

00:08:53.534 --> 00:08:55.238
Ooh, he's a real bull, this kid.

00:08:55.239 --> 00:08:57.448
You know... Phoom!

00:08:57.449 --> 00:08:59.784
A real jug handle. You know?

00:08:59.785 --> 00:09:02.120
Phoom!

00:09:02.121 --> 00:09:04.539
You're a real baseball fan, aren't you?
Huh? Yeah.

00:09:04.540 --> 00:09:06.082
Where do we sit here?

00:09:06.083 --> 00:09:09.252
Well, I thought we'd sit in order,
you know, by jury numbers.

00:09:09.253 --> 00:09:11.754
One, two, three, four, five...
so on, around the table.

00:09:11.755 --> 00:09:13.234
If that's okay with you gentlemen.

00:09:13.235 --> 00:09:14.583
- Sure.
- What's the difference?

00:09:14.593 --> 00:09:17.385
- I think it's reasonable to sit in order.
- Let it be.

00:09:17.386 --> 00:09:19.721
- Number 12. Do I sit down here?
- Yeah. That's 12. We go around...

00:09:19.722 --> 00:09:23.057
- We start with you. One, right?
- One, yeah. Two, three, four, five, six.

00:09:23.058 --> 00:09:25.476
What was your impression
of the prosecuting attorney?

00:09:25.477 --> 00:09:27.270
Okay. Two. You're two.

00:09:27.271 --> 00:09:28.521
I beg pardon?

00:09:28.522 --> 00:09:30.059
I thought he was really sharp,

00:09:30.070 --> 00:09:32.775
the way he handled all
those points one by one.

00:09:32.776 --> 00:09:35.987
Logical sequence. I was very impressed.

00:09:35.988 --> 00:09:39.073
I think he... he did an expert job.

00:09:39.074 --> 00:09:42.160
A lot of drive too, you know? Real drive.

00:09:42.161 --> 00:09:43.988
Okay, fellas, can we hold it down
a minute?

00:09:43.998 --> 00:09:44.798
Sure.

00:09:44.830 --> 00:09:45.997
Uh, fellas.

00:09:45.998 --> 00:09:49.559
Say, we'd like to get started.
Gentleman at the window.

00:09:51.128 --> 00:09:53.379
- We'd like to get started.
- Oh, I'm sorry.

00:09:53.380 --> 00:09:54.854
Pretty tough to figure, isn't it?

00:09:54.865 --> 00:09:57.133
Kid kills his father... bing,
just like that.

00:09:57.134 --> 00:09:59.802
Aw, listen, you analyze the figures,
you'll see it happens all the time.

00:09:59.803 --> 00:10:01.804
They let those kids run wild up there.

00:10:01.805 --> 00:10:04.599
Well, maybe it serves 'em right.
You know what I mean?

00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:06.267
Is... Is everyone here?

00:10:06.268 --> 00:10:08.186
The old man is inside.

00:10:08.187 --> 00:10:10.897
Oh. Would you, uh,
knock on the door for him?

00:10:10.898 --> 00:10:12.941
You a Yankee fan?

00:10:12.942 --> 00:10:14.584
No. Baltimore.

00:10:15.402 --> 00:10:17.003
- Baltimore?
- Yeah.

00:10:18.197 --> 00:10:20.823
That's like being hit in the head
with a crowbar once a day.

00:10:22.493 --> 00:10:23.826
Who have they got?

00:10:23.827 --> 00:10:26.329
No, I mean, who have they got
besides good groundskeepers?

00:10:26.330 --> 00:10:27.956
Say, uh, we'd like to get started.

00:10:27.957 --> 00:10:31.100
Oh, forgive me, gentlemen.
I... I didn't mean to keep you waiting.

00:10:31.794 --> 00:10:33.670
Baltimore?

00:10:33.671 --> 00:10:36.547
Okay, gentlemen,
if I can have your attention.

00:10:36.548 --> 00:10:39.592
You fellas can handle this thing
any way that you want to.

00:10:39.593 --> 00:10:42.178
I'm, um... You know,
I'm not gonna make any rules.

00:10:42.179 --> 00:10:45.556
Uh, we can, well, discuss it first and,
uh, then vote on it.

00:10:45.557 --> 00:10:48.309
That's, of course, uh...
That's, uh, one way.

00:10:48.310 --> 00:10:51.354
And, uh, well, we can vote on it
right now, and...

00:10:51.355 --> 00:10:53.940
I think it's customary
to take a preliminary vote.

00:10:53.941 --> 00:10:57.610
Yeah, let's... Let's vote. Who knows?
Maybe we all can get outta here, huh?

00:10:57.611 --> 00:10:59.404
Uh-huh.

00:10:59.405 --> 00:11:02.573
Okay, then I think that, uh...

00:11:02.574 --> 00:11:05.535
Of course you know that we have
a first-degree murder charge here...

00:11:05.536 --> 00:11:07.704
and if we vote the accused guilty...

00:11:07.705 --> 00:11:11.040
uh, we've got to send him to the chair.

00:11:11.041 --> 00:11:14.877
- Um, that's mandatory.
- I think we know that.

00:11:14.878 --> 00:11:16.748
- Let's see who's where.
- We might as well.

00:11:16.758 --> 00:11:20.652
- Okay. Uh, anyone doesn't want to vote?
- All right with me.

00:11:21.719 --> 00:11:26.389
Okay. Then, uh, just remember that
this has to be 12 to nothing either way.

00:11:26.390 --> 00:11:27.932
Um, that's the law.

00:11:27.933 --> 00:11:30.059
Okay, are we ready?

00:11:30.060 --> 00:11:33.162
Now, all those voting guilty,
please raise your hands.

00:11:37.067 --> 00:11:40.670
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...

00:11:41.905 --> 00:11:44.574
eight, nine, 10, 11.

00:11:44.575 --> 00:11:47.577
Okay. That's 11 guilty.

00:11:47.578 --> 00:11:49.178
Those voting not guilty.

00:11:50.247 --> 00:11:52.415
One. Right.

00:11:52.416 --> 00:11:54.809
That's 11 guilty. One not guilty.

00:11:55.627 --> 00:11:57.295
Well, now we know where we are.

00:11:57.296 --> 00:12:01.566
Boy, oh, boy. There's always one.

00:12:02.009 --> 00:12:04.385
So, what do we do now?

00:12:04.386 --> 00:12:06.304
Well, I guess we talk.

00:12:06.305 --> 00:12:07.722
Boy, oh, boy.

00:12:07.723 --> 00:12:09.657
You really think he's innocent?

00:12:13.020 --> 00:12:14.645
I don't know.

00:12:14.646 --> 00:12:16.612
I mean, you sat in court
with the rest of us.

00:12:16.623 --> 00:12:17.607
You heard what we did.

00:12:17.608 --> 00:12:19.817
The kid's a dangerous killer.
You could see it.

00:12:19.818 --> 00:12:21.527
He's 18 years old.

00:12:21.528 --> 00:12:23.696
Well, that's old enough. He...

00:12:23.697 --> 00:12:26.449
He stabbed his own father
four inches into the chest.

00:12:26.450 --> 00:12:28.785
They proved it a dozen different ways
in court.

00:12:28.786 --> 00:12:31.412
Would you like me to list them for you?

00:12:31.413 --> 00:12:32.789
No.

00:12:32.790 --> 00:12:34.957
Then what do you want?

00:12:34.958 --> 00:12:37.960
- I just want to talk.
- What's there to talk about?

00:12:37.961 --> 00:12:39.570
Eleven men in here think he's guilty.

00:12:39.580 --> 00:12:41.714
No one had to think about
it twice except you.

00:12:41.715 --> 00:12:45.009
I want to ask you something.
Do you believe his story?

00:12:45.010 --> 00:12:47.804
I don't know whether I believe it or not.
Maybe I don't.

00:12:47.805 --> 00:12:49.472
So how come you vote not guilty?

00:12:49.473 --> 00:12:51.474
Well, there were 11 votes for guilty.

00:12:51.475 --> 00:12:54.310
It's not easy to raise my hand
and send a boy off to die...

00:12:54.311 --> 00:12:56.479
without talking about it first.

00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.998
- Well, now, who says it's easy?
- No one.

00:13:00.192 --> 00:13:02.443
What, just because I voted fast?

00:13:02.444 --> 00:13:04.946
I honestly think the guy's guilty.

00:13:04.947 --> 00:13:07.824
You couldn't change my mind
if you talked for a hundred years.

00:13:07.825 --> 00:13:10.086
I'm not trying to change your mind.
It's just that...

00:13:10.411 --> 00:13:12.745
We're talking about somebody's life here.

00:13:12.746 --> 00:13:15.225
We can't decide it in five minutes.
Supposing we're wrong.

00:13:15.235 --> 00:13:16.416
"Supposing we're wrong."

00:13:16.417 --> 00:13:18.896
Supposing this whole building
should fall down on my head.

00:13:18.906 --> 00:13:21.007
- You can suppose anything.
- That's right.

00:13:21.338 --> 00:13:23.295
Look, what's the difference
how long it takes?

00:13:23.305 --> 00:13:25.842
Suppose we do it in five minutes.
So what?

00:13:25.843 --> 00:13:28.052
Let's take an hour.

00:13:28.053 --> 00:13:30.071
The ball game doesn't start till 8:00.

00:13:32.683 --> 00:13:33.950
Hmm?

00:13:36.019 --> 00:13:37.937
Who's got something to say?

00:13:37.938 --> 00:13:39.439
I'm willing to sit for an hour.

00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:42.233
Great.
I heard a pretty good story last night.

00:13:42.234 --> 00:13:44.418
That's not why we're sitting here.

00:13:45.028 --> 00:13:48.673
All right, then you tell me.
What are we sitting here for?

00:13:49.825 --> 00:13:51.759
I don't know. Maybe no reason.

00:13:52.661 --> 00:13:56.205
Look, this kid's been kicked
around all of his life...

00:13:56.206 --> 00:14:00.209
you know, born in a slum,
mother dead since he was nine.

00:14:00.210 --> 00:14:02.689
He lived for a year and a half
in an orphanage when his...

00:14:02.699 --> 00:14:05.506
his father was serving
a jail term for forgery.

00:14:05.507 --> 00:14:07.925
It's not a very happy beginning.

00:14:07.926 --> 00:14:10.136
He's a... a wild, angry kid.

00:14:10.137 --> 00:14:12.007
That's all he's ever been.
And you know why?

00:14:12.017 --> 00:14:15.725
'Cause he's been hit on the head
by somebody once a day every day.

00:14:15.726 --> 00:14:18.019
He's had a...
He's had a pretty miserable 18 years.

00:14:18.020 --> 00:14:21.063
I... I just think we owe him a few words.
That's all.

00:14:21.064 --> 00:14:24.692
I don't mind telling you this, mister.
We don't owe him a thing.

00:14:24.693 --> 00:14:27.862
He got a fair trial, didn't he?
What do you think that trial cost?

00:14:27.863 --> 00:14:29.827
He's lucky he got it.
You know what I mean?

00:14:29.853 --> 00:14:33.451
- You know it.
- Now, look, we're all grown-ups in here.

00:14:33.452 --> 00:14:35.411
We heard the facts, didn't we?

00:14:35.412 --> 00:14:37.351
You're not gonna tell me
that we're supposed

00:14:37.362 --> 00:14:39.290
to believe this kid, knowing what he is.

00:14:39.291 --> 00:14:41.751
Listen, I've lived among
them all my life.

00:14:41.752 --> 00:14:45.171
You can't believe a word they say.
You know that.

00:14:45.172 --> 00:14:47.089
I mean, they're born liars.

00:14:47.090 --> 00:14:50.510
- Only an ignorant man can believe that.
- Now listen...

00:14:50.511 --> 00:14:53.429
Do you think you were born
with a monopoly on the truth?

00:14:53.430 --> 00:14:56.098
I think certain things
should be pointed out to this man.

00:14:56.099 --> 00:14:58.273
Come on. This isn't Sunday.
We don't need a sermon.

00:14:58.283 --> 00:15:00.635
Come on. We have a job to do.
Now let's do it.

00:15:01.563 --> 00:15:04.707
Rice Pops.
It's a product I work on at the agency.

00:15:05.442 --> 00:15:08.152
"The breakfast with the built-in bounce."

00:15:08.153 --> 00:15:09.862
- I wrote that line.
- Very catchy.

00:15:09.863 --> 00:15:12.114
- Yeah.
- Say, do you mind?

00:15:12.115 --> 00:15:13.908
Oh, I'm sorry.

00:15:13.909 --> 00:15:16.452
I have this habit of doodling.
Keeps me thinking clearly.

00:15:16.453 --> 00:15:18.246
Yeah, we have all this work to do.

00:15:18.247 --> 00:15:20.334
- There's no point staying here forever.
- Sorry.

00:15:20.344 --> 00:15:21.144
Okay. Um...

00:15:21.174 --> 00:15:22.333
Okay. Um...

00:15:22.334 --> 00:15:26.212
perhaps if the gentleman down there
who's disagreeing with us...

00:15:26.213 --> 00:15:27.868
Well, perhaps you could tell us why.

00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:29.748
You know,
let us know what you're thinking.

00:15:29.758 --> 00:15:32.151
And we might be able to show you
where you're mixed up.

00:15:32.152 --> 00:15:33.979
Well, look, maybe...
Maybe this is an idea.

00:15:33.980 --> 00:15:36.502
Now, I haven't given it much thought,
but it seems to me...

00:15:36.512 --> 00:15:38.660
that it's up to the group of us
to convince

00:15:38.686 --> 00:15:40.810
this gentleman that he's wrong and
we're right.

00:15:40.811 --> 00:15:43.454
Now, maybe if we each took
a couple of minutes just to...

00:15:44.773 --> 00:15:46.274
Well, it was just a quick idea.

00:15:46.275 --> 00:15:47.817
No, no, no. That's a good one.

00:15:47.818 --> 00:15:50.987
Uh, suppose we go once around the table.

00:15:50.988 --> 00:15:53.948
- I guess you're first.
- Oh.

00:15:53.949 --> 00:15:55.383
Well, uh...

00:15:56.827 --> 00:15:59.345
Well, it-it's hard to put into words.

00:16:00.289 --> 00:16:02.373
I just think he's guilty.

00:16:02.374 --> 00:16:04.959
I thought it was obvious
from the word "go."

00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:06.544
I mean, nobody proved otherwise.

00:16:06.545 --> 00:16:08.170
Nobody has to prove otherwise.

00:16:08.171 --> 00:16:10.506
The burden of proof's on the prosecution.

00:16:10.507 --> 00:16:13.050
The defendant doesn't even have to
open his mouth.

00:16:13.051 --> 00:16:16.262
- That's in the Constitution.
- Oh, well, sure, I know that.

00:16:16.263 --> 00:16:18.322
Uh, what I meant was, is...

00:16:20.017 --> 00:16:22.101
Well, I just think he's guilty.

00:16:22.102 --> 00:16:23.894
I-I mean, somebody saw him do it.

00:16:23.895 --> 00:16:29.025
Okay. Uh, here's what I think, and
I have no personal feelings about this.

00:16:29.026 --> 00:16:31.293
I just want to talk about facts.

00:16:32.195 --> 00:16:34.422
Number one.

00:16:34.865 --> 00:16:39.076
The old man lived downstairs under
the room where the killing took place.

00:16:39.077 --> 00:16:41.469
At 10 minutes after 12:00
on the night of the killing...

00:16:41.479 --> 00:16:45.041
he heard loud noises,
said it sounded like a fight.

00:16:45.042 --> 00:16:48.002
And he heard the kid yell out,
"I'm gonna kill ya."

00:16:48.003 --> 00:16:50.379
A second later,
he heard a body hit the floor.

00:16:50.380 --> 00:16:52.173
Ran to the door, opened it up...

00:16:52.174 --> 00:16:54.675
saw the kid running down the stairs and
out of the house.

00:16:54.676 --> 00:16:56.052
Called the police.

00:16:56.053 --> 00:16:58.804
They came in, found the old man
with a knife in his chest.

00:16:58.805 --> 00:17:02.141
The coroner fixed the time of death
around midnight.

00:17:02.142 --> 00:17:05.311
Now these are facts.
You can't refute facts.

00:17:05.312 --> 00:17:07.563
The kid is guilty.

00:17:07.564 --> 00:17:09.649
I'm just as sentimental as the next fella.

00:17:09.650 --> 00:17:13.611
I know he's only 18,
but he's still gotta pay for what he did.

00:17:13.612 --> 00:17:15.154
I'm with you.

00:17:15.155 --> 00:17:17.782
Okay. Are you finished?

00:17:17.783 --> 00:17:19.325
- Yeah.
- Right. Next.

00:17:19.326 --> 00:17:22.620
It is obvious, to me anyway,
that the boy's entire story was flimsy.

00:17:22.621 --> 00:17:24.914
He claimed he was at the movies
during the time of the killing...

00:17:24.915 --> 00:17:26.915
and yet, one hour later,
he couldn't remember

00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:28.176
the names of the films he saw...

00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:29.898
- or who played in them.
- That's right.

00:17:29.900 --> 00:17:32.076
And no one saw him going
in or out of the theater.

00:17:32.080 --> 00:17:34.080
Listen, what about the woman
across the street?

00:17:34.090 --> 00:17:36.067
If her testimony don't prove it,
nothing does.

00:17:36.070 --> 00:17:38.592
That's right. She was the one
who actually saw the killing.

00:17:38.595 --> 00:17:40.783
Now, fellas, please.
Let's go in order here, huh?

00:17:40.847 --> 00:17:44.183
Just a minute. Here's a woman...

00:17:44.184 --> 00:17:46.727
Here's a woman who was lying in bed.
She can't sleep.

00:17:46.728 --> 00:17:48.772
She's dying with the heat.
You know what I mean?

00:17:48.782 --> 00:17:50.648
Anyway, she looks out the window...

00:17:50.649 --> 00:17:54.318
and right across the street she sees
the kid stick the knife into his father.

00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:57.279
The time is 12:10 on the nose.

00:17:57.280 --> 00:18:01.158
Everything fits.
Look, she's known the kid all his life.

00:18:01.159 --> 00:18:03.594
His window is right opposite
hers across the El tracks...

00:18:03.604 --> 00:18:05.121
and she swore she saw him do it.

00:18:05.122 --> 00:18:07.323
Through the windows
of the passing El train.

00:18:07.349 --> 00:18:09.966
Right.
This El train had no passengers on it.

00:18:09.977 --> 00:18:12.128
It was just being moved downtown.

00:18:12.129 --> 00:18:15.260
The lights were out, remember?
And they proved in court that, at night...

00:18:15.261 --> 00:18:17.762
you can look through the windows
of an El train when the lights are out...

00:18:17.763 --> 00:18:20.052
and see what's happening
on the other side.

00:18:20.053 --> 00:18:22.972
- They proved it.
- I'd like to ask you something.

00:18:22.973 --> 00:18:25.887
You don't believe the boy's story.
How come you believe the woman's?

00:18:25.897 --> 00:18:27.747
She's one of them too, isn't she?

00:18:30.147 --> 00:18:32.231
You're a pretty smart fella, aren't you?

00:18:32.232 --> 00:18:33.733
- Okay, gentlemen.
- Now, now.

00:18:33.734 --> 00:18:36.026
- Now, gentlemen.
- Come on. Sit down. Sit down.

00:18:36.027 --> 00:18:38.654
Oh, what's he so wise about?
I'm telling you.

00:18:38.655 --> 00:18:41.991
Okay, now come on.
Now we're not gonna get anywhere fighting.

00:18:41.992 --> 00:18:43.325
Whose turn is it next?

00:18:43.326 --> 00:18:46.262
Oh, uh, his. Number five.

00:18:48.415 --> 00:18:51.267
Okay, may I... Can I pass? It...

00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:54.086
Well, uh, that's your privilege.

00:18:54.087 --> 00:18:57.298
Uh, how about the next gentleman?

00:18:57.299 --> 00:19:00.050
Oh. Well, uh, I don't know.

00:19:00.051 --> 00:19:04.363
I started to be convinced,
you know, very early in the case.

00:19:04.848 --> 00:19:09.059
You see, I was looking for a motive.
That's very important.

00:19:09.060 --> 00:19:13.355
Because if you don't have a motive,
where's your case, right?

00:19:13.356 --> 00:19:16.525
Anyway, that, uh, testimony
from those people...

00:19:16.526 --> 00:19:19.653
in the apartment across the hall
from the kid's apartment...

00:19:19.654 --> 00:19:21.989
that was very powerful.

00:19:21.990 --> 00:19:24.867
Didn't they say something about a...
a fight and an argument...

00:19:24.868 --> 00:19:29.371
between the old man and his son
around about, uh, 7:00 that night?

00:19:29.372 --> 00:19:31.916
- I mean, I could be wrong, but I...
- It was 8:00.

00:19:31.917 --> 00:19:34.048
It was 8:00. That's right.
They heard an argument.

00:19:34.058 --> 00:19:35.878
They couldn't hear what it was about.

00:19:35.879 --> 00:19:37.922
Then they heard
the father hit the boy twice.

00:19:37.923 --> 00:19:40.036
Finally they saw the boy run...

00:19:40.062 --> 00:19:42.635
angrily out of the house.
What does that prove?

00:19:42.636 --> 00:19:46.388
Well, it don't exactly prove anything.
It's just part of the picture.

00:19:46.389 --> 00:19:47.954
Well, you said it provided a motive.

00:19:47.964 --> 00:19:49.911
The prosecuting attorney
said the same thing.

00:19:49.912 --> 00:19:51.847
I don't think that was
a very strong motive.

00:19:51.848 --> 00:19:53.792
This boy's been hit
so many times in his life

00:19:53.803 --> 00:19:55.397
that violence is practically a...

00:19:55.398 --> 00:19:57.858
It's a normal state of affairs with him.

00:19:57.859 --> 00:20:00.056
I just...
I can't see two slaps in the face

00:20:00.067 --> 00:20:02.154
provoking him into committing murder.

00:20:02.155 --> 00:20:05.841
It may have been two too many.
Everyone has a breaking point.

00:20:08.286 --> 00:20:10.454
Anything else?

00:20:10.455 --> 00:20:12.998
- No.
- Okay.

00:20:12.999 --> 00:20:14.850
Uh, how about you?

00:20:16.586 --> 00:20:18.646
I don't know. It's all been said.

00:20:20.090 --> 00:20:22.816
You can talk here forever.
It's still the same thing.

00:20:23.927 --> 00:20:26.971
This kid is five for 0.

00:20:26.972 --> 00:20:28.931
Well, look at his record.

00:20:28.932 --> 00:20:31.225
When he was 10,
he was in children's court.

00:20:31.226 --> 00:20:33.102
He threw a rock at a teacher.

00:20:33.103 --> 00:20:35.479
When he was 15, he was in reform school.

00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:37.398
He stole a car.

00:20:37.399 --> 00:20:39.984
He's been arrested for mugging.

00:20:39.985 --> 00:20:42.069
He was picked up twice
for knife fighting.

00:20:42.070 --> 00:20:44.238
Oh, yeah, they say
he's real handy with a knife.

00:20:44.239 --> 00:20:47.116
Oh, this is a very fine boy.

00:20:47.117 --> 00:20:50.202
Ever since he was five years old,
his father beat him up regularly.

00:20:50.203 --> 00:20:52.705
- He used his fists.
- Well, so would I.

00:20:52.706 --> 00:20:54.290
A kid like that?

00:20:54.291 --> 00:20:57.559
It's these kids, the way
they are nowadays.

00:20:59.963 --> 00:21:03.232
When I was a kid,
I used to call my father "sir."

00:21:03.884 --> 00:21:05.259
That's right. "Sir."

00:21:05.260 --> 00:21:07.521
Do you ever hear a kid call
his father that any more?

00:21:07.531 --> 00:21:10.132
Fathers don't seem to think
it's important any more.

00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:12.741
- You got any kids?
- Three.

00:21:14.019 --> 00:21:15.452
I got one.

00:21:16.855 --> 00:21:18.706
Twenty-two years old.

00:21:24.738 --> 00:21:27.589
When he was nine years old,
he ran away from a fight.

00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:32.469
I saw it. I was so embarrassed
I almost threw up.

00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:38.767
I said, "I'm gonna make a man out of you
if I have to break you in two trying."

00:21:41.171 --> 00:21:43.188
Well, I made a man out of him.

00:21:44.090 --> 00:21:46.358
When he was 16, we had a fight.

00:21:47.844 --> 00:21:50.320
Hit me in the jaw. He was a big kid.

00:21:53.642 --> 00:21:55.826
Haven't seen him for two years.

00:21:57.646 --> 00:22:00.039
Kids.

00:22:01.650 --> 00:22:03.709
Work your heart out.

00:22:06.196 --> 00:22:07.529
Well, let's get going.

00:22:07.530 --> 00:22:09.949
I think we're missing the point here.

00:22:09.950 --> 00:22:12.275
This boy, let's say he's
the product of a broken home

00:22:12.286 --> 00:22:13.452
and a filthy neighborhood.

00:22:13.453 --> 00:22:17.122
We can't help that. We're here to decide
whether he's innocent or guilty...

00:22:17.123 --> 00:22:20.125
not to go into the reasons why
he grew up the way he did.

00:22:20.126 --> 00:22:22.920
He was born in a slum.
Slums are breeding grounds for criminals.

00:22:22.921 --> 00:22:24.880
I know it, and so do you.

00:22:24.881 --> 00:22:27.139
It's no secret children
from slum backgrounds

00:22:27.165 --> 00:22:29.377
are potential menaces to society.

00:22:29.678 --> 00:22:31.929
- Now I think...
- Brother, you can say that again.

00:22:31.930 --> 00:22:34.235
The kids who crawl out of
these places are real trash.

00:22:34.245 --> 00:22:36.250
I don't want any part of them.
I'm telling you.

00:22:36.261 --> 00:22:37.440
Listen, mister. Listen.

00:22:37.456 --> 00:22:39.525
I, uh... I've lived in a slum all my life.

00:22:39.551 --> 00:22:41.389
- Wait a minute.
- Please, I...

00:22:41.415 --> 00:22:44.191
I played in backyards that
were filled with garbage.

00:22:44.192 --> 00:22:46.318
I mean, maybe you can
still smell it on me.

00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:47.736
Now, listen, sonny.

00:22:47.737 --> 00:22:49.824
Come on now.
There's nothing personal about this.

00:22:49.825 --> 00:22:53.130
- No, there was something personal.
- Aw, come on, fella. He didn't mean you.

00:22:53.131 --> 00:22:54.280
Let's not be so sensitive.

00:22:54.281 --> 00:22:56.120
This sensitivity I can understand.

00:22:56.121 --> 00:23:00.849
Okay, look, let's stop the arguing.
We're only wasting time, and...

00:23:01.918 --> 00:23:04.144
Look, your turn down there. Let's go.

00:23:05.380 --> 00:23:06.653
Oh, I didn't expect a turn.

00:23:06.660 --> 00:23:08.794
I thought you were all
gonna try to convince me.

00:23:08.800 --> 00:23:10.635
- Wasn't that the idea?
- Check. That was the idea.

00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:12.933
- Oh, I forgot about that. He's right.
- What difference does it make?

00:23:12.940 --> 00:23:15.558
He's the one who's keeping us in here.
Let's hear what he's got to say.

00:23:15.560 --> 00:23:18.153
Oh, now wait a minute.
We decided to do this a certain way.

00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:19.813
I think we ought to stick to that way.

00:23:19.823 --> 00:23:21.355
Oh, stop being a kid, will you?

00:23:21.438 --> 00:23:23.786
- What do you mean "a kid"?
- What do you think I mean?

00:23:23.796 --> 00:23:25.522
K-I-D. Kid.

00:23:27.736 --> 00:23:31.488
What? Listen, just because
I'm trying to keep this thing organized?

00:23:31.489 --> 00:23:33.699
Here, you take it.
You take on the responsibility.

00:23:33.700 --> 00:23:35.659
I'll just... I'll keep my mouth shut.
That's all.

00:23:35.660 --> 00:23:37.745
What are you getting so hot about?
Calm down, will you?

00:23:37.746 --> 00:23:39.163
Don't tell me to calm down.

00:23:39.164 --> 00:23:41.373
Here. You wanna take the chair,
just take the chair. That's all.

00:23:41.374 --> 00:23:43.917
- Did you ever see such a thing?
- See if you can keep it running.

00:23:43.918 --> 00:23:45.189
Listen, you think it's funny
or something?

00:23:45.199 --> 00:23:47.852
Hey, forget it, fella.
The whole thing's unimportant. Come on.

00:23:47.862 --> 00:23:50.841
- Unimportant? Oh, here, you try it.
- No, nobody wants to change.

00:23:50.842 --> 00:23:52.676
You're doing a beautiful job. Sit down.

00:23:52.677 --> 00:23:55.596
Yeah, you're doing great.
Just great, fella.

00:23:55.597 --> 00:23:57.573
You stay in there and pitch. You know?

00:23:58.433 --> 00:24:00.742
All right. Let's hear from somebody.

00:24:02.145 --> 00:24:03.772
Well, if you want me to tell you

00:24:03.783 --> 00:24:06.315
how I feel about it,
it's all right with me.

00:24:06.316 --> 00:24:08.525
Boy, I don't care what you do.

00:24:08.526 --> 00:24:11.487
All right, I don't have
anything brilliant.

00:24:11.488 --> 00:24:13.697
I only know as much as you do.

00:24:13.698 --> 00:24:17.534
According to the testimony,
the boy looks guilty. Maybe he is.

00:24:17.535 --> 00:24:21.805
I sat there in court for six days
listening while the evidence built up.

00:24:22.332 --> 00:24:24.124
Everybody sounded so positive, you know?

00:24:24.125 --> 00:24:26.668
I... I began to get a peculiar
feeling about this trial.

00:24:26.669 --> 00:24:28.837
I mean, nothing is that positive.

00:24:28.838 --> 00:24:31.048
There are a lot of questions
I'd have liked to ask.

00:24:31.049 --> 00:24:33.842
I don't know. Maybe
they wouldn't have meant anything, but...

00:24:33.843 --> 00:24:36.148
I began to get the feeling
that the defense counsel...

00:24:36.158 --> 00:24:38.472
wasn't conducting a thorough-enough
cross-examination.

00:24:38.473 --> 00:24:39.273
I mean, he...

00:24:39.275 --> 00:24:41.860
he let too many things go
by, little things that...

00:24:41.935 --> 00:24:42.835
What little things?

00:24:42.840 --> 00:24:44.884
Listen, when these fellas
don't ask questions...

00:24:44.894 --> 00:24:48.112
it's because they know the answers already
and they figure they'll be hurt.

00:24:48.122 --> 00:24:51.360
Maybe it's also possible for a lawyer
to be just plain stupid, isn't it?

00:24:51.361 --> 00:24:52.736
I mean it's possible.

00:24:52.737 --> 00:24:54.694
You sound like you met
my brother-in-law once.

00:24:57.492 --> 00:25:00.302
I... I kept putting myself
in the kid's place.

00:25:02.038 --> 00:25:04.248
I'd have asked for another lawyer,
I think.

00:25:04.249 --> 00:25:06.875
I mean, if I was on trial for my life...

00:25:06.876 --> 00:25:11.755
I'd want my lawyer to tear the prosecution
witnesses to shreds, or at least try to.

00:25:11.756 --> 00:25:15.817
Look, there was one alleged
eyewitness to this killing.

00:25:16.261 --> 00:25:19.721
Someone else claims he heard the killing,
saw the boy run out afterwards.

00:25:19.722 --> 00:25:21.932
And there was a lot of
circumstantial evidence.

00:25:21.933 --> 00:25:25.519
But actually, those two witnesses were
the entire case for the prosecution.

00:25:25.520 --> 00:25:27.396
Supposing they're wrong.

00:25:27.397 --> 00:25:29.273
What do you mean supposing they're wrong?

00:25:29.274 --> 00:25:31.233
What's the point of having
witnesses at all?

00:25:31.234 --> 00:25:33.944
- Could they be wrong?
- What are you trying to say?

00:25:33.945 --> 00:25:35.728
Those people sat on the stand under oath.

00:25:35.729 --> 00:25:37.512
They're only people.
People make mistakes.

00:25:37.522 --> 00:25:39.174
Could they be wrong?

00:25:39.701 --> 00:25:42.703
- Well, no, I don't think so.
- Do you know so?

00:25:42.704 --> 00:25:44.704
Oh, come on.
Nobody can know a thing like that.

00:25:44.714 --> 00:25:46.415
This isn't an exact science.

00:25:46.416 --> 00:25:47.849
That's right. It isn't.

00:25:52.922 --> 00:25:55.757
Okay, let... Let's get to the point.

00:25:55.758 --> 00:25:58.427
What about the switch knife
they found in the old man's chest?

00:25:58.428 --> 00:25:59.472
Uh, wait, wait a minute.

00:25:59.475 --> 00:26:01.301
There's some people
who haven't talked yet.

00:26:01.310 --> 00:26:03.832
- Shouldn't we go in order?
- They'll get a chance to talk.

00:26:03.842 --> 00:26:05.434
Be quiet a second, will you?

00:26:05.435 --> 00:26:06.810
What about it, this...

00:26:06.811 --> 00:26:10.355
the knife this fine upright boy admitted
buying the night of the killing?

00:26:10.356 --> 00:26:11.773
Let's talk about it.

00:26:11.774 --> 00:26:14.309
All right, let's talk about it.
Let's get it in here and look at it.

00:26:14.310 --> 00:26:15.963
I'd like to see it again. Mr. Foreman?

00:26:15.973 --> 00:26:19.114
We all saw what it looks like.
Why do we have to see it again?

00:26:19.115 --> 00:26:21.420
The gentleman has a right
to see exhibits in evidence.

00:26:23.286 --> 00:26:24.828
Say, could you bring us the knife?

00:26:24.829 --> 00:26:26.722
- Knife?
- Yeah. Thank you.

00:26:28.291 --> 00:26:31.035
The knife and the way it was
bought is pretty strong evidence,

00:26:31.040 --> 00:26:31.840
don't you think?

00:26:31.845 --> 00:26:33.330
- I do.
- Good.

00:26:33.379 --> 00:26:35.964
Now, suppose we take these facts
one at a time.

00:26:35.965 --> 00:26:37.155
One. The boy admitted going out

00:26:37.165 --> 00:26:39.301
of the house at 8:00
on the night of the murder...

00:26:39.302 --> 00:26:41.346
after being slapped several times
by his father.

00:26:41.356 --> 00:26:44.139
No, no. No, he didn't say "slapped".
He said "punched".

00:26:44.140 --> 00:26:46.642
There's a difference between
a slap and a punch.

00:26:46.643 --> 00:26:49.311
After being hit several times
by his father.

00:26:49.312 --> 00:26:51.647
Two. He went directly to
a neighborhood junk shop...

00:26:51.648 --> 00:26:53.857
- where he bought one of those...
- Switch knives.

00:26:53.858 --> 00:26:55.943
Switchblade knives.

00:26:55.944 --> 00:26:57.901
This wasn't what you'd call
an ordinary knife.

00:26:57.911 --> 00:27:00.405
It had a very unusual
carved handle and blade.

00:27:00.406 --> 00:27:02.015
The storekeeper who sold it to him...

00:27:02.025 --> 00:27:05.202
said it was the only one of its kind
he had ever had in stock.

00:27:05.203 --> 00:27:09.039
Three. He met some friends of his
in front of a tavern about 8:45.

00:27:09.040 --> 00:27:10.624
Am I right so far?

00:27:10.625 --> 00:27:12.834
- Yes, you are.
- You bet he is.

00:27:12.835 --> 00:27:16.088
He talked with his friends for about
an hour, leaving them at 9:45.

00:27:16.089 --> 00:27:19.132
During this time,
they saw the switch knife.

00:27:19.133 --> 00:27:21.009
Four.

00:27:21.010 --> 00:27:23.512
They identified the death
weapon in court...

00:27:23.513 --> 00:27:26.098
as that very same knife.

00:27:26.099 --> 00:27:28.976
Five. He arrived home at about 10:00.

00:27:28.977 --> 00:27:31.760
Now this is where the stories
offered by the State and the boy...

00:27:31.770 --> 00:27:33.397
begin to diverge slightly.

00:27:33.398 --> 00:27:36.066
He claims that he went to a movie
at about 11:30...

00:27:36.067 --> 00:27:40.195
returning home at 3:10 to find
his father dead and himself arrested.

00:27:40.196 --> 00:27:42.675
He also claims that
the two detectives who arrested him...

00:27:42.685 --> 00:27:44.700
threw him down a half a flight of stairs.

00:27:44.701 --> 00:27:46.618
Now, what happened to the switch knife?

00:27:46.619 --> 00:27:50.011
He claims that it fell through a hole
in his pocket on the way to the movies...

00:27:50.021 --> 00:27:54.084
sometime between 11:30 and 3:10
and that he never saw it again.

00:27:54.085 --> 00:27:56.128
Now there's a tale, gentlemen.

00:27:56.129 --> 00:27:59.715
I think it's quite clear that the boy
never went to the movies that night.

00:27:59.716 --> 00:28:01.758
No one in the house saw him
go out at 11:30.

00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:03.368
No one at the theater identified him.

00:28:03.378 --> 00:28:05.900
He couldn't even remember
the names of the pictures he saw.

00:28:08.516 --> 00:28:10.473
- What actually happened is this.
- Thank you.

00:28:10.483 --> 00:28:13.603
The boy stayed home, had another fight
with his father...

00:28:13.604 --> 00:28:17.399
stabbed him to death and
left the house at 10 minutes after 12:00.

00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:20.235
He even remembered to wipe
the knife clean of fingerprints.

00:28:20.236 --> 00:28:22.946
Now are you trying to tell me
that this knife...

00:28:22.947 --> 00:28:25.034
really fell through a hole
in the boy's pocket...

00:28:25.035 --> 00:28:27.495
someone picked it up off the street,
went to the boy's house...

00:28:27.496 --> 00:28:30.162
and stabbed his father with it
just to test its sharpness?

00:28:30.163 --> 00:28:32.247
No. I'm just saying it's possible
the boy lost his knife...

00:28:32.248 --> 00:28:34.944
and that somebody else stabbed
his father with a similar knife.

00:28:34.954 --> 00:28:35.834
It's just possible.

00:28:35.835 --> 00:28:37.519
Take a look at this knife.

00:28:39.339 --> 00:28:41.631
It's a very unusual knife.

00:28:41.632 --> 00:28:43.258
I've never seen one like it.

00:28:43.259 --> 00:28:46.136
Neither had the storekeeper
who sold it to the boy.

00:28:46.137 --> 00:28:49.181
Aren't you asking us to accept
a pretty incredible coincidence?

00:28:49.182 --> 00:28:51.600
I'm just saying
a coincidence is possible.

00:28:51.601 --> 00:28:53.201
And I say it's not possible.

00:28:59.734 --> 00:29:01.526
Where did that come from?

00:29:01.527 --> 00:29:02.986
- Where'd you get that?
- It's the same knife.

00:29:02.987 --> 00:29:04.571
What do you think you're doing?

00:29:04.572 --> 00:29:06.281
Where did you get it?

00:29:06.282 --> 00:29:08.617
I went out walking for
a couple of hours last night.

00:29:08.618 --> 00:29:10.702
I walked through the boy's neighborhood.

00:29:10.703 --> 00:29:13.790
I bought that at a little pawnshop
just two blocks from the boy's house.

00:29:13.800 --> 00:29:15.332
It cost six dollars.

00:29:15.333 --> 00:29:18.543
It's against the law to buy
or sell switchblade knives.

00:29:18.544 --> 00:29:20.879
That's right. I broke the law.

00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:24.966
Listen, you pulled a real bright trick.
Now, supposing you tell me what it proves.

00:29:24.967 --> 00:29:27.135
Maybe there are 10 knives like that.
So what?

00:29:27.136 --> 00:29:30.013
- Maybe there are.
- Well, what does it mean?

00:29:30.014 --> 00:29:31.268
You found another knife like it.

00:29:31.278 --> 00:29:33.452
What's that,
the discovery of the age or something?

00:29:33.453 --> 00:29:35.871
You mean you're asking us to believe
that somebody else did the stabbing...

00:29:35.872 --> 00:29:37.687
with exactly the same kind of knife?

00:29:37.688 --> 00:29:39.022
The odds are a million-to-one.

00:29:39.023 --> 00:29:41.833
- It's possible.
- But not very probable.

00:29:42.944 --> 00:29:45.028
Okay, fellas, let's take our seats.

00:29:45.029 --> 00:29:47.377
There's no point in standing
around all over the place.

00:29:48.657 --> 00:29:50.440
You know, it's interesting that he'd find

00:29:50.450 --> 00:29:52.325
a knife exactly like the one
the boy bought.

00:29:52.326 --> 00:29:55.038
What's interesting about it?
"Interesting."

00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:56.998
Well, I don't know.
I just thought it was interesting.

00:29:56.999 --> 00:29:58.875
There are still 11 of us
here who think he's guilty.

00:29:58.876 --> 00:30:01.253
Right. What do you think
you're gonna accomplish?

00:30:01.254 --> 00:30:03.171
You're not gonna change anybody's mind.

00:30:03.172 --> 00:30:05.632
So if you wanna be stubborn and
hang this jury, go ahead.

00:30:05.633 --> 00:30:08.777
The kid will be tried again and
found guilty sure as he's born.

00:30:10.221 --> 00:30:12.180
That's probably right.

00:30:12.181 --> 00:30:15.475
So what are you gonna do?
You know, we could be here all night.

00:30:15.476 --> 00:30:18.812
It's only one night. A boy may die.

00:30:18.813 --> 00:30:21.440
Well, why don't we just
set up house here, huh?

00:30:21.441 --> 00:30:24.137
Someone send for Potsy the policeman and
get a pinochle deck...

00:30:24.147 --> 00:30:26.732
and, uh, we'll just sweat
the whole thing out right here.

00:30:27.989 --> 00:30:31.116
- I don't think he ought to joke about it.
- What do you want me to do about it?

00:30:31.117 --> 00:30:32.944
Oh, listen!
I don't see what all this stuff

00:30:32.954 --> 00:30:34.870
about the knife's got
to do with anything.

00:30:34.871 --> 00:30:37.873
Somebody saw the kid stab his father.
What more do we need?

00:30:37.874 --> 00:30:40.750
You guys can talk the ears right off
my head. You know what I mean?

00:30:40.751 --> 00:30:43.545
I got three garages of mine goin'
to pot while you're talking.

00:30:43.546 --> 00:30:45.297
So let's get done and get outta here.

00:30:45.298 --> 00:30:47.619
The knife was very important
to the district attorney.

00:30:47.630 --> 00:30:48.800
He spent a whole day...

00:30:48.801 --> 00:30:51.497
He's a 15th assistant or something.
What does he know about it?

00:30:51.507 --> 00:30:52.888
Hey, let's hold it down.

00:30:52.889 --> 00:30:55.323
These side arguments
are only slowing us up.

00:30:58.102 --> 00:30:59.561
Well, what about it?

00:30:59.562 --> 00:31:01.162
You're the only one.

00:31:08.988 --> 00:31:11.131
I have a proposition
to make to all of you.

00:31:12.116 --> 00:31:13.967
I'm gonna call for another vote.

00:31:15.328 --> 00:31:20.624
I want you 11 men to vote
by secret written ballot.

00:31:20.625 --> 00:31:22.751
I'll abstain.

00:31:22.752 --> 00:31:25.629
If there are 11 votes for guilty,
I won't stand alone.

00:31:25.630 --> 00:31:29.524
We'll take in a guilty verdict
to the judge right now.

00:31:30.885 --> 00:31:34.696
But if anyone votes not guilty,
we stay here and talk it out.

00:31:37.934 --> 00:31:40.936
Well, that's it.
If you want to try it, I'm ready.

00:31:40.937 --> 00:31:42.503
All right. Let's do it the hard way.

00:31:42.513 --> 00:31:44.481
Okay, that sounds fair. Everyone agreed?

00:31:44.482 --> 00:31:46.650
- Anyone doesn't agree?
- Fine, fine. Let's go.

00:31:46.651 --> 00:31:47.776
Here, pass these along.

00:31:47.777 --> 00:31:49.628
Is that the right time?

00:32:21.602 --> 00:32:22.869
"Guilty."

00:32:25.439 --> 00:32:26.706
"Guilty."

00:32:28.859 --> 00:32:30.126
"Guilty."

00:32:32.363 --> 00:32:33.630
"Guilty."

00:32:35.032 --> 00:32:36.299
"Guilty."

00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:39.386
"Guilty."

00:32:41.455 --> 00:32:42.722
"Guilty."

00:32:43.791 --> 00:32:45.058
"Guilty."

00:32:46.252 --> 00:32:47.519
"Guilty."

00:32:51.507 --> 00:32:54.217
"Not guilty."

00:32:54.218 --> 00:32:55.719
"Guilty."

00:32:55.720 --> 00:32:57.470
Boy, how do you like that?

00:32:57.471 --> 00:33:00.015
Oh, and another chap flaps his wings.

00:33:00.016 --> 00:33:02.851
All right, who was it?
Come on. I want to know.

00:33:02.852 --> 00:33:05.186
Excuse me. This was a secret ballot.

00:33:05.187 --> 00:33:06.813
We all agreed on that, no?

00:33:06.814 --> 00:33:09.024
If the gentleman wanted
to remain secret...

00:33:09.025 --> 00:33:10.984
Secret? What do you mean secret?

00:33:10.985 --> 00:33:14.295
There are no secrets in a jury room.
I know who it was.

00:33:14.947 --> 00:33:16.948
Brother, you really are something.

00:33:16.949 --> 00:33:19.034
You sit here, vote guilty
like the rest of us...

00:33:19.035 --> 00:33:22.412
and then some golden-voiced preacher
starts tearin' your poor heart out...

00:33:22.413 --> 00:33:25.790
about some underprivileged kid just
couldn't help becomin' a murderer...

00:33:25.791 --> 00:33:27.375
and you change your vote.

00:33:27.376 --> 00:33:29.586
If that isn't the most sick...

00:33:29.587 --> 00:33:33.340
Why don't you drop a quarter
in his collection box?

00:33:33.341 --> 00:33:35.383
Oh, now just wait a minute.

00:33:35.384 --> 00:33:37.052
Listen, you can't talk to me like that.

00:33:37.053 --> 00:33:39.401
- No. Who do you think you are?
- Calm down. Calm down.

00:33:39.411 --> 00:33:41.389
No. Who does he think he is?
Did you hear him?

00:33:41.390 --> 00:33:42.820
It doesn't matter.
He's very excitable. Sit down.

00:33:42.830 --> 00:33:44.734
Excitable? You bet I'm excitable!

00:33:44.735 --> 00:33:47.654
We're trying to put a guilty man
in the chair where he belongs!

00:33:47.855 --> 00:33:50.607
Someone starts telling us fairy tales,
and we're listenin'!

00:33:50.608 --> 00:33:52.442
Hey, uh, come on, huh?

00:33:52.443 --> 00:33:54.444
What made you change your vote?

00:33:54.445 --> 00:33:56.154
He didn't change his vote.

00:33:56.155 --> 00:33:57.405
I did.

00:33:57.406 --> 00:33:59.449
- Oh, fine.
- I knew it.

00:33:59.450 --> 00:34:01.493
Would you like me to tell you why?

00:34:01.494 --> 00:34:03.453
No, I wouldn't like you to tell me why.

00:34:03.454 --> 00:34:06.081
I'd like to make it clear anyway,
if you don't mind.

00:34:06.082 --> 00:34:07.666
Do we have to listen to this?

00:34:07.667 --> 00:34:09.501
The man wants to talk.

00:34:09.502 --> 00:34:11.169
Thank you.

00:34:11.170 --> 00:34:14.589
This gentleman has been
standing alone against us.

00:34:14.590 --> 00:34:16.925
Now, he doesn't say
the boy is not guilty.

00:34:16.926 --> 00:34:18.968
He just isn't sure.

00:34:18.969 --> 00:34:21.888
Well, it's not easy to stand alone
against the ridicule of others.

00:34:21.889 --> 00:34:25.100
So he gambled for support,
and I gave it to him.

00:34:25.101 --> 00:34:26.893
I respect his motives.

00:34:26.894 --> 00:34:31.523
The boy on trial is probably guilty,
but, uh, I want to hear more.

00:34:31.524 --> 00:34:33.400
Right now, the vote is 10 to two.

00:34:33.401 --> 00:34:35.749
I'm talking here!
You have no right to leave this room!

00:34:35.759 --> 00:34:37.696
He can't hear you. He never will.

00:34:37.697 --> 00:34:39.380
Let's sit down.

00:34:43.452 --> 00:34:45.745
Shall we continue?

00:34:45.746 --> 00:34:48.039
Well, I... I think
we ought to take a break.

00:34:48.040 --> 00:34:52.252
You know, one man's inside,
and I think we ought to wait for him.

00:34:52.253 --> 00:34:55.296
Okay.

00:34:55.297 --> 00:34:57.148
Looks like we're really hung up here, huh?

00:34:58.426 --> 00:35:00.992
And that thing with the old man,
that was pretty unexpected.

00:35:02.847 --> 00:35:05.406
I wish I could figure out some way
we could break it up.

00:35:08.436 --> 00:35:11.980
You know, in advertising...
I told you I worked in an agency.

00:35:11.981 --> 00:35:13.064
Mm-hmm.

00:35:13.065 --> 00:35:15.413
Well, there's some pretty strange people
working there.

00:35:15.423 --> 00:35:17.318
Well, they're not strange really, I guess.

00:35:17.319 --> 00:35:20.059
It's just that they have peculiar ways
of expressing themselves.

00:35:20.069 --> 00:35:21.364
You know what I mean.

00:35:21.365 --> 00:35:23.974
Of course, I suppose it's the same
in your business too, huh?

00:35:24.326 --> 00:35:25.910
What do you do?

00:35:25.911 --> 00:35:28.163
- I'm a watchmaker.
- Oh, really?

00:35:28.164 --> 00:35:31.458
Well, I imagine the finest watchmakers
in the world come from Europe, huh?

00:35:31.459 --> 00:35:33.095
Anyway, as I was telling you,
in an agency,

00:35:33.105 --> 00:35:34.544
when we reach a point like this...

00:35:34.545 --> 00:35:36.241
I'm telling him about, in an ad agency,

00:35:36.252 --> 00:35:38.339
when a point like this
is reached in a meeting...

00:35:38.349 --> 00:35:40.842
there's always some character
ready with an idea, see.

00:35:40.843 --> 00:35:42.886
And it kills me.

00:35:42.887 --> 00:35:44.583
It's the weirdest thing in the world...

00:35:44.593 --> 00:35:47.891
the way they sometimes precede their idea
with a little phrase, see, like...

00:35:47.892 --> 00:35:50.894
Some account exec will get up,
and he'll say, uh...

00:35:50.895 --> 00:35:52.812
"Okay, here's an idea.

00:35:52.813 --> 00:35:56.524
Let's, uh, run it up the flagpole and
see if anyone salutes it."

00:35:56.525 --> 00:35:59.736
I mean, it's idiotic,
but it's funny, huh?

00:35:59.737 --> 00:36:04.340
I, uh...
I got a little excited back there. I...

00:36:05.242 --> 00:36:07.093
didn't mean to get nasty.

00:36:07.870 --> 00:36:11.764
I'm glad you're not one of those lets
these emotional appeals influence him.

00:36:12.833 --> 00:36:15.184
Uh...

00:36:28.249 --> 00:36:30.201
I don't know
what's the matter with that fan.

00:36:30.212 --> 00:36:31.620
Can't seem to get it to start.

00:36:37.733 --> 00:36:39.751
Eh!

00:36:40.778 --> 00:36:43.071
Hey, you a salesman?

00:36:43.072 --> 00:36:44.672
I'm an architect.

00:36:45.407 --> 00:36:46.825
Hmm.

00:36:46.826 --> 00:36:49.177
You know what the soft sell is?

00:36:51.997 --> 00:36:54.015
Boy, you got it. Believe me.

00:36:55.584 --> 00:36:57.393
I got a different technique.

00:36:58.087 --> 00:36:59.963
Laughs, drinks, jokes.

00:36:59.964 --> 00:37:02.315
Tricks. You know?

00:37:03.050 --> 00:37:04.359
Yeah.

00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:08.029
"Hit 'em where they live."
That's my motto.

00:37:09.348 --> 00:37:12.200
I made 27 grand last year
sellin' marmalade.

00:37:12.935 --> 00:37:15.536
That's not bad. I mean, you know,
considering marmalade.

00:37:18.649 --> 00:37:20.606
Hey, what are you gettin' outta this...
kicks?

00:37:22.611 --> 00:37:25.916
Or did somebody bump you on the head
one time and you haven't gotten over it?

00:37:25.926 --> 00:37:27.735
Maybe.

00:37:27.992 --> 00:37:30.618
You know, you do-gooders are all alike.

00:37:30.619 --> 00:37:33.388
You're always blowing your stacks
over some guy that fanned.

00:37:36.375 --> 00:37:38.309
But what are you wasting our time for?

00:37:38.961 --> 00:37:41.172
Why don't you donate five dollars
to the cause,

00:37:41.183 --> 00:37:43.116
and maybe it'll make you feel better.

00:37:46.302 --> 00:37:48.636
This kid is guilty, pal.

00:37:48.637 --> 00:37:51.139
It's as plain as the nose on your face.

00:37:51.140 --> 00:37:53.474
So why don't we stop
wasting our time here?

00:37:53.475 --> 00:37:56.477
We're gonna all get sore throats
if we keep it up, you know?

00:37:56.478 --> 00:37:59.392
What difference does it make
if you get it here or at the ball game?

00:37:59.815 --> 00:38:02.817
Oh, no difference, pal.

00:38:02.818 --> 00:38:04.711
No difference at all.

00:38:16.540 --> 00:38:18.499
Nice bunch of guys, huh?

00:38:18.500 --> 00:38:20.877
Oh, they're about the same as anyone else.

00:38:20.878 --> 00:38:23.771
Phew! Boy, what a murderous day.

00:38:24.673 --> 00:38:26.799
You think we'll be much longer?

00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:28.509
I don't know.

00:38:28.510 --> 00:38:30.511
Aw, he's guilty for sure.

00:38:30.512 --> 00:38:32.138
Not a doubt in the whole world.

00:38:32.139 --> 00:38:34.782
We should... Should've been done already.

00:38:36.936 --> 00:38:38.269
Oh, I don't mind, you know.

00:38:38.270 --> 00:38:40.788
Hmm. Beats workin'.

00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:45.626
Uh...

00:38:47.905 --> 00:38:50.073
You think he's not guilty, huh?

00:38:50.074 --> 00:38:52.008
I don't know. It's possible.

00:38:52.660 --> 00:38:56.537
Well, I don't know you, but I'm bettin'
you never been wronger in your life.

00:38:56.538 --> 00:38:59.040
You're wasting your time.
You ought to wrap it up.

00:38:59.041 --> 00:39:01.309
Supposing you were the one
who was on trial.

00:39:02.044 --> 00:39:04.003
Well, I'm not used to supposing.

00:39:04.004 --> 00:39:08.591
I'm just a workingman.
My boss does the supposing. But...

00:39:08.592 --> 00:39:10.193
Well, I'll try one.

00:39:11.303 --> 00:39:14.125
Supposing you talk us
all out of this, and,

00:39:14.136 --> 00:39:17.085
the kid really did knife his father. Huh?

00:39:25.901 --> 00:39:27.276
Are you ready?

00:39:27.277 --> 00:39:28.569
Hup.

00:39:28.570 --> 00:39:29.570
That one.

00:39:29.571 --> 00:39:31.339
Sorry, blue eyes.

00:39:32.157 --> 00:39:33.324
- Well, where else...
- Okay, fellas, let's take our seats.

00:39:33.325 --> 00:39:35.847
- Well, where else...
- Okay, fellas, let's take our seats.

00:39:35.857 --> 00:39:37.662
Looks like we'll be here for dinner, huh?

00:39:37.663 --> 00:39:40.123
Okay, now let's...
Let's get down to business.

00:39:40.124 --> 00:39:41.582
Now, who wants to start it off?

00:39:41.583 --> 00:39:43.084
- I would.
- Okay, go.

00:39:43.085 --> 00:39:45.253
You down there.

00:39:45.254 --> 00:39:46.926
The old man who lived downstairs says

00:39:46.937 --> 00:39:49.215
he heard the kid yell out,
"I'm gonna kill ya."

00:39:49.216 --> 00:39:51.926
A second later,
he heard the body hit the floor.

00:39:51.927 --> 00:39:53.758
Now, he ran to the door and
he saw the kid

00:39:53.769 --> 00:39:55.888
running down the stairs and
out of the house.

00:39:55.889 --> 00:39:57.348
What does that mean to you?

00:39:57.349 --> 00:39:59.002
I was wondering how
clearly the old man could

00:39:59.003 --> 00:40:00.810
have heard the boy's voice
through the ceiling.

00:40:00.811 --> 00:40:02.937
He didn't hear it through the ceiling.
The window was open.

00:40:02.938 --> 00:40:04.856
So was the one upstairs.
It was a hot night, remember?

00:40:04.857 --> 00:40:06.274
Well, it was another apartment.

00:40:06.275 --> 00:40:08.943
It's not that easy to identify a voice,
particularly a shouting voice.

00:40:08.944 --> 00:40:10.611
- He identified it in court.
- That's right.

00:40:10.612 --> 00:40:12.155
And don't forget the lady
across the street.

00:40:12.156 --> 00:40:15.070
She looked right in the open window and
saw the boy stab his father.

00:40:15.080 --> 00:40:17.577
- Now, I mean, isn't that enough for you?
- No, it isn't.

00:40:17.578 --> 00:40:19.620
Boy, how do you like this guy, huh?

00:40:19.621 --> 00:40:21.539
It's like talking into a dead phone.

00:40:21.540 --> 00:40:24.801
She said she saw the killing through
the windows of a moving elevated train.

00:40:24.811 --> 00:40:26.296
There were six cars on the train.

00:40:26.300 --> 00:40:28.372
She saw the killing
through the last two cars.

00:40:28.380 --> 00:40:30.337
She remembered
the most insignificant details.

00:40:30.347 --> 00:40:32.425
I don't see how you can argue with that.

00:40:32.426 --> 00:40:37.071
Has anybody here any idea
how long it would take an El...

00:40:45.647 --> 00:40:47.315
Hey!

00:40:47.316 --> 00:40:48.916
This isn't a game.

00:40:53.113 --> 00:40:55.448
- Did you see him?
- Hey.

00:40:55.449 --> 00:40:57.283
- The nerve.
- All right, listen...

00:40:57.284 --> 00:41:00.620
- The absolute nerve.
- Forget it. It's not important.

00:41:00.621 --> 00:41:02.663
- "This isn't a game"?
- Calm down.

00:41:02.664 --> 00:41:06.084
- Who does he think he is?
- I'm telling you, forget it now.

00:41:06.085 --> 00:41:09.504
Has anybody any idea how long
it takes an elevated train...

00:41:09.505 --> 00:41:11.422
going at medium speed
to pass a given point?

00:41:11.423 --> 00:41:13.382
- What has that to do with anything?
- How long? Take a guess.

00:41:13.383 --> 00:41:16.135
- I wouldn't have the slightest idea.
- What do you think?

00:41:16.136 --> 00:41:18.112
I don't know. Maybe 10, 12 seconds?

00:41:19.014 --> 00:41:20.765
I think that's a pretty good guess.
Anyone else?

00:41:20.766 --> 00:41:23.643
- That sounds right to me.
- Come on. What's the guessing game for?

00:41:23.644 --> 00:41:25.688
- What do you say?
- Ten seconds is about right.

00:41:25.689 --> 00:41:27.863
All right. Say 10 seconds.
What are you getting at?

00:41:27.873 --> 00:41:32.693
This. It takes a six-car El train
10 seconds to pass a given point.

00:41:32.694 --> 00:41:35.029
Now let's say the given point
is the open window

00:41:35.055 --> 00:41:37.031
of the room where the killing took place.

00:41:37.032 --> 00:41:40.409
You can reach out of that window
and almost touch the El tracks, right?

00:41:40.410 --> 00:41:41.994
Now let me ask you this.

00:41:41.995 --> 00:41:44.330
Has anyone here ever lived
near the El tracks?

00:41:44.331 --> 00:41:48.042
Well, uh, I just finished painting
an apartment that overlooked an El line.

00:41:48.043 --> 00:41:49.794
- I was there for three days.
- What was it like?

00:41:49.795 --> 00:41:51.045
- What do you mean?
- Noisy?

00:41:51.046 --> 00:41:53.673
Oh, brother. Don't matter though.
We were all punchy.

00:41:53.674 --> 00:41:56.342
I lived in a second-floor apartment
near the El line once.

00:41:56.343 --> 00:41:58.150
When the window was open
and the train goes by,

00:41:58.160 --> 00:41:59.503
the noise is almost unbearable.

00:41:59.513 --> 00:42:00.655
You can hardly hear yourself think.

00:42:00.665 --> 00:42:02.448
All right, you can't hear yourself think.

00:42:02.458 --> 00:42:04.935
- Will you get to the point?
- I will. Now just a minute.

00:42:04.936 --> 00:42:08.604
Let's take two pieces of testimony and
try to put them together.

00:42:08.605 --> 00:42:12.775
First. The old man
in the apartment downstairs.

00:42:12.776 --> 00:42:15.444
He says he heard the boy say
"I'm gonna kill you"...

00:42:15.445 --> 00:42:18.281
and a split second later
heard a body hit the floor.

00:42:18.282 --> 00:42:20.065
- One second later, right?
- That's right.

00:42:20.075 --> 00:42:26.038
Second. The woman across the street swore
positively she looked out of the window...

00:42:26.039 --> 00:42:27.233
and saw the killing through

00:42:27.244 --> 00:42:29.605
the last two cars of the
passing elevated train, right?

00:42:29.615 --> 00:42:31.878
- The last two cars.
- What are you giving us here?

00:42:31.879 --> 00:42:33.296
Now, just a minute.

00:42:33.297 --> 00:42:37.817
We've agreed that it takes 10 seconds
for a train to pass a given point.

00:42:38.552 --> 00:42:41.971
Since the woman saw the killing
through the last two cars...

00:42:41.972 --> 00:42:47.018
we can assume that the body hit
the floor just as the train went by.

00:42:47.019 --> 00:42:51.564
Therefore, the train had been
roaring by the old man's window...

00:42:51.565 --> 00:42:55.151
a full 10 seconds before
the body hit the floor.

00:42:55.152 --> 00:42:57.445
The old man, according
to his own testimony...

00:42:57.446 --> 00:43:00.448
"I'm gonna kill you," body hitting
the floor a split second later...

00:43:00.449 --> 00:43:02.992
would have had to hear
the boy make this statement...

00:43:02.993 --> 00:43:04.952
with the El roaring past his nose.

00:43:04.953 --> 00:43:06.579
It's not possible he could've heard it.

00:43:06.580 --> 00:43:08.831
- That's idiotic. Of course he heard it.
- Do you think he could've heard it?

00:43:08.832 --> 00:43:11.292
He said he yelled at the top of his voice.
That's good enough for me.

00:43:11.293 --> 00:43:13.628
Even if he heard something, he still
couldn't have identified the voice.

00:43:13.629 --> 00:43:14.837
With the El roaring by?

00:43:14.838 --> 00:43:17.298
You're talking about a matter of seconds!
Nobody can be that accurate.

00:43:17.299 --> 00:43:19.296
I think testimony that could put a boy

00:43:19.307 --> 00:43:22.021
into the electric chair
should be that accurate.

00:43:24.139 --> 00:43:26.140
You know something?
I don't think he could've heard it.

00:43:26.141 --> 00:43:28.559
Maybe he didn't hear it.
I mean, with all that El noise.

00:43:28.560 --> 00:43:30.519
Oh, what are you people talking about?

00:43:30.520 --> 00:43:32.738
Well, it stands to reason
he couldn't have heard it.

00:43:32.748 --> 00:43:34.649
Why should he lie? What's he got to gain?

00:43:34.650 --> 00:43:36.943
Attention maybe.

00:43:36.944 --> 00:43:38.945
You keep coming in with
these bright sayings!

00:43:38.946 --> 00:43:42.073
Why don't you send 'em in to a paper?
They pay three dollars apiece.

00:43:42.074 --> 00:43:44.383
What are you talking
to him like that for?

00:43:45.244 --> 00:43:48.746
Guy talks like that to an old man really
ought to get stepped on, you know?

00:43:48.747 --> 00:43:50.681
You ought to have more respect, mister.

00:43:51.792 --> 00:43:56.270
If you say stuff like that to him again,
I'm gonna lay you out.

00:44:06.139 --> 00:44:09.183
Now you go ahead. You...
You say anything you like.

00:44:09.184 --> 00:44:13.312
Why do you think the old man might lie?

00:44:13.313 --> 00:44:16.832
It was just that I looked at him
for a very long time.

00:44:17.359 --> 00:44:20.695
The seams of his jacket was split,
under the shoulder.

00:44:20.696 --> 00:44:22.363
Or did you notice that?

00:44:22.364 --> 00:44:24.949
I mean, to come to court like that.

00:44:24.950 --> 00:44:26.717
Why...

00:44:27.744 --> 00:44:31.706
He was a very old man in a torn jacket.

00:44:31.707 --> 00:44:34.683
And he walked very slowly to the stand.

00:44:35.335 --> 00:44:39.463
He was dragging his left leg and
trying to hide it...

00:44:39.464 --> 00:44:41.232
because he was ashamed.

00:44:42.259 --> 00:44:45.778
I think I know this man
better than anyone here.

00:44:46.555 --> 00:44:52.059
This is a quiet, frightened,
insignificant old man who...

00:44:52.060 --> 00:44:54.520
who has been nothing all his life...

00:44:54.521 --> 00:44:57.023
who has never had recognition...

00:44:57.024 --> 00:44:59.208
or his name in the newspapers.

00:44:59.776 --> 00:45:02.069
Nobody knows him.

00:45:02.070 --> 00:45:04.196
Nobody quotes him.

00:45:04.197 --> 00:45:08.259
Nobody seeks his advice after 75 years.

00:45:08.994 --> 00:45:12.972
Gentlemen, that's a very sad thing...
to be nothing.

00:45:13.582 --> 00:45:18.018
A man like this needs to be quoted,
to be listened to.

00:45:18.545 --> 00:45:20.588
To be quoted just once.

00:45:20.589 --> 00:45:22.565
Very important to him.

00:45:22.902 --> 00:45:25.468
It would be so hard for him
to recede into the background...

00:45:25.469 --> 00:45:27.383
- Wait a minute.
- When there was a chance...

00:45:27.384 --> 00:45:28.602
What are you trying to do...

00:45:28.612 --> 00:45:30.863
tell us he'd lie just so
he could be important once?

00:45:30.873 --> 00:45:32.933
No. He wouldn't really lie.

00:45:32.934 --> 00:45:36.479
But perhaps he made himself
believe he heard those words...

00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:38.773
and recognized the boy's face.

00:45:38.774 --> 00:45:41.150
That's the most fantastic story
I've ever heard.

00:45:41.151 --> 00:45:44.295
How can you make up a thing like that?
What do you know about it?

00:45:53.246 --> 00:45:55.373
Oh, uh, does anybody want a cough drop?

00:45:55.374 --> 00:45:57.708
- No, thanks.
- I'll take one.

00:45:57.709 --> 00:45:59.110
You can say what you like.

00:45:59.111 --> 00:46:01.503
I still don't see how
anybody can think he's not guilty.

00:46:01.504 --> 00:46:04.089
There's something else I'd like
to talk about for a minute.

00:46:04.090 --> 00:46:05.591
Thanks.

00:46:05.592 --> 00:46:06.930
I think we've proved that the old man

00:46:06.940 --> 00:46:08.969
couldn't have heard the boy say
"I'm gonna kill you."

00:46:08.970 --> 00:46:10.638
- But supposing...
- You didn't prove it at all.

00:46:10.639 --> 00:46:13.516
- What are you talking about?
- Supposing he really did hear it.

00:46:13.517 --> 00:46:16.018
This phrase, how many times
have all of us used it?

00:46:16.019 --> 00:46:17.603
Probably thousands.

00:46:17.604 --> 00:46:19.313
"I could kill you for that, darling."

00:46:19.314 --> 00:46:21.315
"Junior, you do that once more, and
I'm gonna kill you."

00:46:21.316 --> 00:46:22.691
"Get in there, Rocky, and kill him."

00:46:22.692 --> 00:46:23.592
We say it every day.

00:46:23.600 --> 00:46:25.033
That doesn't mean we're
really gonna kill anybody.

00:46:25.040 --> 00:46:27.214
Wait a minute.
What are you trying to give us here?

00:46:27.220 --> 00:46:30.315
The phrase was "I'm gonna kill you."
The kid yelled it at the top of his lungs.

00:46:30.325 --> 00:46:31.742
Don't tell me he didn't mean it.

00:46:31.743 --> 00:46:34.483
Anybody says a thing like that
the way he said it, they mean it.

00:46:34.484 --> 00:46:36.026
Well, gee, now I don't know.

00:46:36.027 --> 00:46:40.459
I remember I was arguing with a guy I work
next to at the bank a couple weeks ago.

00:46:40.460 --> 00:46:42.294
He called me an idiot, so I yelled at him.

00:46:42.295 --> 00:46:45.339
Now listen! This guy's trying to make you
believe things that aren't so.

00:46:45.340 --> 00:46:47.508
The kid said he was gonna kill him,
and he did kill him.

00:46:47.509 --> 00:46:48.371
Let me ask you this.

00:46:48.381 --> 00:46:50.653
Do you really think the boy
would shout out a thing like that...

00:46:50.654 --> 00:46:52.437
so the whole neighborhood could hear him?

00:46:52.438 --> 00:46:54.482
I don't think so.
He's much too bright for that.

00:46:54.492 --> 00:46:59.186
Bright? He's a common ignorant slob.
He don't even speak good English.

00:46:59.187 --> 00:47:02.122
"He doesn't even speak good English."

00:47:04.484 --> 00:47:08.362
Mr. Foreman, I'd like to change my vote
to not guilty.

00:47:08.363 --> 00:47:09.864
You what?

00:47:09.865 --> 00:47:12.383
- You heard me.
- Are you sure?

00:47:13.201 --> 00:47:14.702
Yeah, I'm sure.

00:47:14.703 --> 00:47:17.246
The vote is nine to three,
favor of guilty.

00:47:17.247 --> 00:47:20.140
Well, if this isn't the living end. Huh?

00:47:24.087 --> 00:47:26.939
What are you basing it on...
the stories this guy made up?

00:47:27.466 --> 00:47:30.119
You ought to write for one
of those kooky detective magazines.

00:47:30.129 --> 00:47:31.802
You'd make a fortune.

00:47:31.803 --> 00:47:35.322
For crying out loud. The kid's own
lawyer knew he didn't stand a chance.

00:47:35.724 --> 00:47:37.811
Right from the beginning,
his own lawyer knew it.

00:47:37.821 --> 00:47:39.268
You could see it.

00:47:39.269 --> 00:47:42.955
Boy, oh, boy. I'm tellin' you,
this guy here is really something.

00:47:43.690 --> 00:47:45.566
Look, the kid had a lawyer, didn't he?

00:47:45.567 --> 00:47:48.486
He presented his case, not you.
How come you got so much to say?

00:47:48.487 --> 00:47:50.314
Look, lawyers aren't infallible, you know.

00:47:50.324 --> 00:47:51.405
Baltimore, please. Huh?

00:47:51.406 --> 00:47:53.199
He was court-appointed.

00:47:53.200 --> 00:47:55.117
- What's that supposed to mean?
- It could mean a lot of things.

00:47:55.118 --> 00:47:58.454
It could mean he didn't want the case,
or he resented being appointed.

00:47:58.455 --> 00:48:00.499
It's the kind of case that
brings him nothing...

00:48:00.509 --> 00:48:03.417
no money, no glory,
not even much chance of winning.

00:48:03.418 --> 00:48:06.420
That's not a very promising situation
for a young lawyer.

00:48:06.421 --> 00:48:09.769
He'd really have to believe in his client
to put up any kind of a good case...

00:48:09.770 --> 00:48:12.249
and, as you pointed out a minute ago,
obviously he didn't.

00:48:12.259 --> 00:48:14.428
Of course he didn't. Huh.

00:48:14.429 --> 00:48:16.805
Who the heck could?

00:48:16.806 --> 00:48:19.808
Except maybe some guy's mother
or somebody. I...

00:48:19.809 --> 00:48:22.144
Ah, look. Will you look at the time, huh?

00:48:22.145 --> 00:48:24.772
- Come on. For crying out...
- Pardon me.

00:48:24.773 --> 00:48:27.191
- I have made some notes here...
- Notes.

00:48:27.192 --> 00:48:29.902
And I would like to...
please, to say something.

00:48:29.903 --> 00:48:32.238
- Yeah.
- I have been listening very carefully.

00:48:32.239 --> 00:48:36.742
And, uh, it seems to me that this man
has some very good points to make.

00:48:36.743 --> 00:48:41.455
From what was presented at the trial,
the boy looks guilty on the surface.

00:48:41.456 --> 00:48:45.626
- But maybe if we go deeper?
- Oh, come on, will ya?

00:48:45.627 --> 00:48:48.003
There is a question I would like to ask.

00:48:48.004 --> 00:48:51.382
Let us assume that the boy
really did commit the murder.

00:48:51.383 --> 00:48:54.802
Now, this happened at
10 minutes after 12:00.

00:48:54.803 --> 00:48:57.346
Now, how was he caught by the police?

00:48:57.347 --> 00:49:01.934
He came back home, uh, at 3:00 or so...

00:49:01.935 --> 00:49:05.771
and he was captured by two detectives
in the hallway of his house.

00:49:05.772 --> 00:49:10.442
Now, my question is,
if he really had killed his father...

00:49:10.443 --> 00:49:13.737
why would he come back
home three hours later?

00:49:13.738 --> 00:49:16.699
Wouldn't he be afraid of being caught?

00:49:16.700 --> 00:49:18.534
He came home to get his knife.

00:49:18.535 --> 00:49:21.535
It's not nice to go around leaving knives
sticking in people's chests.

00:49:21.545 --> 00:49:23.998
- Yeah, especially relatives.
- Yeah.

00:49:23.999 --> 00:49:26.333
I don't see anything funny about it.

00:49:26.334 --> 00:49:29.962
The boy knew the knife could be identified
as the one he had just bought.

00:49:29.963 --> 00:49:32.214
He had to get it before the police did.

00:49:32.215 --> 00:49:34.496
But if he knew the knife
could be identified,

00:49:34.522 --> 00:49:36.802
why did he leave it there
in the first place?

00:49:37.220 --> 00:49:40.180
Well, I think we can assume
the boy ran out in a state of panic...

00:49:40.181 --> 00:49:42.641
after having just killed his father.

00:49:42.642 --> 00:49:45.686
When he finally calmed down,
he realized he had left his knife there.

00:49:45.687 --> 00:49:48.689
Ah. This then depends on
your definition of panic.

00:49:48.690 --> 00:49:51.150
He would have had to be calm enough
to see to it...

00:49:51.151 --> 00:49:53.819
that there were no fingerprints
left on the knife.

00:49:53.820 --> 00:49:57.948
Now, where did this panic start and
where did it end?

00:49:57.949 --> 00:50:00.409
Look, you voted guilty.
What side are ya on?

00:50:00.410 --> 00:50:04.038
I don't believe I have to be loyal
to one side or the other.

00:50:04.039 --> 00:50:05.914
I'm simply asking questions.

00:50:05.915 --> 00:50:09.001
Well, this is just off the top of my head,
but, uh...

00:50:09.002 --> 00:50:11.872
well, if I were the boy and
I'd done the stabbing and everything...

00:50:11.882 --> 00:50:13.797
I'd take a chance and
go back for the knife.

00:50:13.798 --> 00:50:16.383
I'll bet he figured that
nobody had seen him running out...

00:50:16.384 --> 00:50:18.969
and that the body wouldn't be discovered
till the next day.

00:50:18.970 --> 00:50:21.096
Well, after all, it was
the middle of the night.

00:50:21.097 --> 00:50:23.967
I'll bet he'd figured nobody
would find the body till the next day.

00:50:23.977 --> 00:50:25.768
Pardon. This is my whole point.

00:50:25.769 --> 00:50:29.563
The woman across the street testified that
the moment after she saw the killing...

00:50:29.564 --> 00:50:32.232
that is,
a moment after the train went by...

00:50:32.233 --> 00:50:35.319
she screamed and then
went to telephone the police.

00:50:35.320 --> 00:50:38.781
Now, the boy certainly must have heard
the scream...

00:50:38.782 --> 00:50:42.368
so he knew that somebody saw something.

00:50:42.369 --> 00:50:45.245
I just don't think that
he would have gone back.

00:50:45.246 --> 00:50:48.377
Two things. One, in his state of panic,
he may not have heard the scream.

00:50:48.387 --> 00:50:49.833
Perhaps it wasn't very loud.

00:50:49.834 --> 00:50:53.295
Two, if he did hear it, he may not
have connected it with his own act.

00:50:53.296 --> 00:50:56.514
Remember, he lived in a neighborhood
where screams were fairly commonplace.

00:50:56.524 --> 00:50:58.967
- There's your answer.
- Maybe.

00:50:58.968 --> 00:51:01.929
Maybe the boy did kill his father,
didn't hear the scream...

00:51:01.930 --> 00:51:05.724
did run out in a panic,
did calm down three hours later...

00:51:05.725 --> 00:51:08.595
and come back to get the knife,
risking being caught by the police.

00:51:08.605 --> 00:51:11.438
Maybe all of those things happened,
but maybe they didn't.

00:51:11.439 --> 00:51:12.596
I think there's enough doubt

00:51:12.606 --> 00:51:14.274
that we can wonder whether
he was there at all...

00:51:14.275 --> 00:51:16.026
during the time the killing took place.

00:51:16.027 --> 00:51:17.861
What do you mean doubt?
What are you talking about?

00:51:17.862 --> 00:51:19.655
Didn't the old man see him
running out of the house?

00:51:19.656 --> 00:51:21.532
He's twisting the facts, I'm telling you.

00:51:21.533 --> 00:51:24.952
Did or didn't the old man see
the kid running out of the house at 12:10?

00:51:24.953 --> 00:51:26.954
Well, did or didn't he?

00:51:26.955 --> 00:51:27.779
He says he did.

00:51:27.790 --> 00:51:30.249
"Says he did"? Boy! How do you like that?

00:51:30.250 --> 00:51:33.293
- Now, look, witnesses can make mistakes.
- Sure, when you want them to, they do.

00:51:33.294 --> 00:51:35.629
Or when he wants them to, they do.
You know what I mean?

00:51:35.630 --> 00:51:37.548
- Keep the yelling down!
- Oh, you keep saying that.

00:51:37.549 --> 00:51:39.341
Maybe what we need
is a little yelling in here.

00:51:39.342 --> 00:51:41.135
These guys keep going off
every which way.

00:51:41.136 --> 00:51:43.137
Did hear the scream.
Didn't hear the scream.

00:51:43.138 --> 00:51:44.211
What difference does it make?

00:51:44.221 --> 00:51:46.390
You people are talking only
about the little details.

00:51:46.391 --> 00:51:48.976
You're forgetting the important stuff.
I mean, all of a sudden, everybody here...

00:51:48.977 --> 00:51:51.437
- I want to call for another vote.
- I'm talking here!

00:51:51.438 --> 00:51:55.207
There's another vote called for.
Now let's take our seats.

00:51:58.987 --> 00:52:01.613
I never saw
so much time spent on nothing.

00:52:01.614 --> 00:52:03.423
It only takes a second.

00:52:04.409 --> 00:52:07.911
Okay. I guess the fastest way is
to find out who's voting not guilty.

00:52:07.912 --> 00:52:10.764
Now, all those voting not guilty,
please raise your hands.

00:52:11.916 --> 00:52:15.586
Still the same.
One, two, three not guilty. Nine guilty.

00:52:15.587 --> 00:52:17.337
So, now where are we?

00:52:17.338 --> 00:52:19.730
I'm telling you,
we can yackety-yack until next Tuesday.

00:52:19.740 --> 00:52:20.904
Where's it all getting us?

00:52:20.914 --> 00:52:23.677
Pardon. I vote not guilty.

00:52:23.678 --> 00:52:26.764
Oh!

00:52:26.765 --> 00:52:27.896
What are ya talking about?

00:52:27.906 --> 00:52:30.142
I mean, we're all going crazy in here
or something.

00:52:30.143 --> 00:52:34.021
The kid is guilty.
Why don't you listen to the facts?

00:52:34.022 --> 00:52:36.356
Tell him, will ya?
Now this is getting to be a joke.

00:52:36.357 --> 00:52:39.651
The vote is eight to four,
favor of guilty.

00:52:39.652 --> 00:52:43.405
What is this, love your underprivileged
brother week or something?

00:52:43.406 --> 00:52:45.991
I want you to get up and tell me
why you changed your vote.

00:52:45.992 --> 00:52:47.676
Come on. Give me your reasons.

00:52:47.687 --> 00:52:50.370
I don't have to defend my decision to you.

00:52:50.371 --> 00:52:52.206
There is a reasonable doubt in my mind.

00:52:52.207 --> 00:52:53.164
What reasonable doubt?

00:52:53.174 --> 00:52:55.292
That's nothing but words.
Here, look at this.

00:52:55.293 --> 00:53:00.297
The kid you just decided isn't guilty
was seen ramming this into his father.

00:53:00.298 --> 00:53:02.382
Now, what about this,
Mr. Reasonable Doubt?

00:53:02.383 --> 00:53:05.135
That's not the knife. Don't you remember?

00:53:05.136 --> 00:53:07.387
Oh, brilliant.

00:53:07.388 --> 00:53:09.765
I'm telling ya, this is the craziest.

00:53:09.766 --> 00:53:12.017
I mean, what are we supposed to believe?

00:53:12.018 --> 00:53:13.236
I mean, you're sittin' here,

00:53:13.247 --> 00:53:15.334
you're pulling stories out of thin air,
you know?

00:53:15.344 --> 00:53:16.657
A guy like this, if he's, uh,

00:53:16.660 --> 00:53:18.724
sitting ringside at the
Dempsey-Firpo fight...

00:53:18.733 --> 00:53:21.276
he'd be trying to tell you that, uh...

00:53:21.277 --> 00:53:23.737
Look. Now, what about the old man?

00:53:23.738 --> 00:53:26.406
Are we supposed to believe that
he didn't get up and run to his door...

00:53:26.407 --> 00:53:29.493
and see the kid tearing down
the steps 15 seconds after the killing?

00:53:29.494 --> 00:53:32.037
He's just saying so to be important,
right?

00:53:32.038 --> 00:53:33.614
I mean,
what's the point of the whole thing?

00:53:33.624 --> 00:53:34.915
Wait. Hold it a second, will you?

00:53:34.916 --> 00:53:37.264
Oh, and the Baltimore rooter
is heard from again now...

00:53:37.265 --> 00:53:39.308
and pop-ups are fallin' for base hits
wherever we look.

00:53:39.309 --> 00:53:42.589
Hold it a second. Now, look...
Did the old man say he ran to the door?

00:53:42.590 --> 00:53:44.525
Ran, walked. What's the difference?
He got on, didn't he?

00:53:44.535 --> 00:53:45.634
I mean, he got there, didn't he?

00:53:45.635 --> 00:53:48.262
- No, now wait a second.
- He said he ran. At least I think he did.

00:53:48.263 --> 00:53:49.672
Look, I don't remember what he said,

00:53:49.682 --> 00:53:51.813
but I don't see
how he could have run to the door.

00:53:51.823 --> 00:53:54.226
He said he went from his bedroom
to the front door.

00:53:54.227 --> 00:53:56.358
- Now, isn't that enough?
- Where was the bedroom?

00:53:56.359 --> 00:53:58.694
- It was down the hall somewhere.
- I thought you remembered everything.

00:53:58.695 --> 00:54:00.607
- Don't you remember that?
- No.

00:54:00.608 --> 00:54:02.934
Mr. Foreman, I'd like to see
a diagram of the apartment.

00:54:02.944 --> 00:54:04.443
Why don't we just have 'em
run the trial all over again

00:54:04.453 --> 00:54:05.512
so you can get everything straight?

00:54:05.513 --> 00:54:06.313
Mr. Foreman.

00:54:06.339 --> 00:54:09.049
How come you're the only one in this room
wants to see exhibits all the time?

00:54:09.050 --> 00:54:11.843
- I want to see this one too.
- And I'd like to stop wasting time.

00:54:11.844 --> 00:54:13.558
If we're gonna start wading through
all that nonsense

00:54:13.568 --> 00:54:14.763
about where the body was found...

00:54:14.764 --> 00:54:16.707
We're not,
not unless somebody else wants to.

00:54:16.708 --> 00:54:18.500
But I'd like to find out if an old man...

00:54:18.501 --> 00:54:20.961
who drags one foot when he walks
'cause he had a stroke last year...

00:54:20.962 --> 00:54:23.463
can get from his bedroom to his front door
in 15 seconds.

00:54:23.464 --> 00:54:25.215
- He said 20 seconds.
- He said 15.

00:54:25.216 --> 00:54:27.477
He said 20 seconds.
What are you trying to distort...

00:54:27.487 --> 00:54:30.804
- He said 15.
- How does he know how long 15 seconds is?

00:54:30.805 --> 00:54:32.556
You can't judge a thing like that.

00:54:32.557 --> 00:54:35.017
He said 15 seconds.
He was very positive about it.

00:54:35.018 --> 00:54:37.311
He was an old man.
Half the time he was confused.

00:54:37.312 --> 00:54:39.705
How could he be positive about anything?

00:54:47.280 --> 00:54:49.483
I don't see
what you're going to prove here.

00:54:49.509 --> 00:54:51.491
The man said he saw the boy running out.

00:54:51.492 --> 00:54:53.744
Well, let's see if
the details bear him out.

00:54:53.745 --> 00:54:56.876
As soon as the body hit the floor,
he said he heard footsteps upstairs...

00:54:56.886 --> 00:54:58.457
running toward the front door...

00:54:58.458 --> 00:55:01.627
heard the upstairs door open,
the footsteps start down the stairs.

00:55:01.628 --> 00:55:03.837
He said he got to his own front door
as fast as he could...

00:55:03.838 --> 00:55:06.006
and he swore it couldn't have been
more than 15 seconds.

00:55:06.007 --> 00:55:08.007
Now, if the killer began running
immediately...

00:55:08.017 --> 00:55:10.052
- Maybe he didn't.
- The old man said he did.

00:55:10.053 --> 00:55:12.880
You ought to be at Atlantic City
at that hairsplitters convention.

00:55:14.057 --> 00:55:16.266
Hey, why don't you stop makin'
smart remarks all the time, huh?

00:55:16.267 --> 00:55:17.747
My friend, for your three dollars a day,

00:55:17.757 --> 00:55:19.478
you have to listen to everything,
you know?

00:55:19.479 --> 00:55:21.271
Now that you've got that thing in here,
what about it?

00:55:21.272 --> 00:55:23.523
All right. Here's the apartment
where the killing took place.

00:55:23.524 --> 00:55:26.652
The old man's apartment
was directly beneath and exactly the same.

00:55:26.653 --> 00:55:29.947
Here are the El tracks, the bedroom,
living room, kitchen, bathroom.

00:55:29.948 --> 00:55:32.032
Here's the hall. Here are the stairs.

00:55:32.033 --> 00:55:34.368
Now, the old man was in this bedroom
right here.

00:55:34.369 --> 00:55:37.120
He says he crossed to the door and
walked down the hall...

00:55:37.121 --> 00:55:40.295
opened the front door just in time
to see the boy running down the stairs.

00:55:40.305 --> 00:55:43.585
- Am I right so far?
- That's the story, for the 19th time.

00:55:43.586 --> 00:55:46.307
Fifteen seconds after
the body hit the floor.

00:55:46.318 --> 00:55:47.214
Correct.

00:55:47.215 --> 00:55:49.341
Now, let's see. It was...

00:55:49.342 --> 00:55:53.428
It's 12 feet from the bed to the door.
The hall is 43 feet.

00:55:53.429 --> 00:55:56.723
He would have had to walk 12 feet,
open the bedroom door...

00:55:56.724 --> 00:56:00.435
walk 43 feet down and open the front door
all in 15 seconds.

00:56:00.436 --> 00:56:03.306
- Do you think he could have done it?
- Sure he could have done it.

00:56:03.307 --> 00:56:05.975
He can walk only very slowly. They had
to help him into the witness chair.

00:56:05.976 --> 00:56:07.651
You make it sound like a long walk.

00:56:07.652 --> 00:56:10.070
For an old man who had a stroke,
it is a long walk.

00:56:10.071 --> 00:56:11.195
Oh! What are you doing?

00:56:11.221 --> 00:56:13.590
I'm gonna try it,
see how long it took him.

00:56:13.616 --> 00:56:14.965
What do you mean, you want to try it?

00:56:14.966 --> 00:56:17.068
Why didn't his lawyer bring it up
if it's so important?

00:56:17.078 --> 00:56:18.335
Maybe he just didn't think about it, huh?

00:56:18.336 --> 00:56:20.789
What do you mean, didn't think of it?
You think the man's an idiot or something?

00:56:20.790 --> 00:56:22.416
- It's an obvious thing.
- Did you think of it?

00:56:22.417 --> 00:56:24.167
Listen, smart guy.
Don't matter whether I thought of it.

00:56:24.168 --> 00:56:25.709
He didn't bring it up because
he knew it would hurt his case.

00:56:25.719 --> 00:56:26.594
What do you think of that?

00:56:26.604 --> 00:56:28.541
Maybe he didn't bring it up
because it would have

00:56:28.542 --> 00:56:30.524
meant bullying and badgering
a helpless old man.

00:56:30.525 --> 00:56:32.374
You know that doesn't
sit very well with a jury.

00:56:32.384 --> 00:56:33.863
Most lawyers avoid it if they can.

00:56:33.864 --> 00:56:36.657
- So, what kind of a bum is he then?
- That's what I've been asking, buddy.

00:56:36.658 --> 00:56:39.766
Pass me that chair, will you?
Those two chairs are the old man's bed.

00:56:39.767 --> 00:56:42.854
I just paced off 12 feet across the room.
This will be the bedroom door.

00:56:42.864 --> 00:56:45.439
Oh, that's crazy.
You can't recreate a thing like that.

00:56:45.440 --> 00:56:47.733
- I'd like to see it.
- The hall was 43 feet.

00:56:47.734 --> 00:56:49.835
I'll pace from that wall and back again.

00:56:51.029 --> 00:56:52.454
Look, this is absolutely insane.

00:56:52.465 --> 00:56:54.948
What are you wasting
everybody's time in here for?

00:56:54.949 --> 00:56:56.897
According to you,
it'll only take 15 seconds.

00:56:56.908 --> 00:56:58.233
Now, we can spare that, see.

00:57:01.789 --> 00:57:03.540
Come on. Knock it off.

00:57:03.541 --> 00:57:05.125
Okay.

00:57:05.126 --> 00:57:07.252
Okay. Okay, killer.

00:57:07.253 --> 00:57:08.937
Yeah.

00:57:11.126 --> 00:57:13.300
Will you stand right there and
mark the front door?

00:57:13.301 --> 00:57:15.886
It was chain-locked according
to the testimony, remember?

00:57:15.887 --> 00:57:17.714
Has anybody got a watch
with a second hand?

00:57:17.724 --> 00:57:18.524
I have.

00:57:18.534 --> 00:57:20.398
When you want me to start,
stamp your foot.

00:57:20.409 --> 00:57:21.627
That'll be the body falling.

00:57:21.637 --> 00:57:22.842
You can time me from there.

00:57:22.843 --> 00:57:24.811
What are we gonna do, play charades now?

00:57:24.812 --> 00:57:27.117
- Come on! What are we waiting for?
- Okay, I'm ready.

00:57:27.118 --> 00:57:29.379
Well, I want to wait till
the second hand reaches 60.

00:57:29.389 --> 00:57:31.228
Oh, come on.

00:57:37.575 --> 00:57:40.677
Come on. Speed it up.
He could walk twice as fast as that.

00:57:42.038 --> 00:57:44.598
You want me to walk faster than that,
I will.

00:58:01.390 --> 00:58:03.934
Lock. Door. Stop.

00:58:03.935 --> 00:58:06.019
- Right.
- What's the time?

00:58:06.020 --> 00:58:09.356
Uh, exactly 41 seconds.

00:58:09.357 --> 00:58:11.691
This is what I think happened.

00:58:11.692 --> 00:58:12.909
The old man heard the fight between

00:58:12.919 --> 00:58:14.611
the boy and his father
a few hours earlier.

00:58:14.612 --> 00:58:15.511
Then when he's lying in bed,

00:58:15.521 --> 00:58:17.531
he heard the body hit the floor
in the boy's apartment...

00:58:17.532 --> 00:58:19.380
heard the woman scream
from across the street,

00:58:19.390 --> 00:58:21.260
got to his front door
as fast as he could...

00:58:21.261 --> 00:58:24.044
heard somebody racing down
the stairs and assumed it was the boy.

00:58:24.054 --> 00:58:25.705
- I think that's possible.
- Assumed?

00:58:25.706 --> 00:58:28.291
Oh.

00:58:28.292 --> 00:58:31.766
Brother, I've seen all kinds
of dishonesty in my day,

00:58:31.792 --> 00:58:34.339
but this little display takes the cake.

00:58:34.340 --> 00:58:36.817
You all come in here with
your hearts bleeding all

00:58:36.818 --> 00:58:39.136
over the floor about slum kids
and injustice.

00:58:39.137 --> 00:58:41.221
You listen to some fairy tales.

00:58:41.222 --> 00:58:43.918
Suddenly you start getting through
to some of these old ladies.

00:58:43.928 --> 00:58:46.643
Well, you're not getting through to me.
I've had enough.

00:58:46.644 --> 00:58:48.770
What's the matter with you guys?

00:58:48.771 --> 00:58:51.565
You all know he's guilty!
He's got to burn!

00:58:51.566 --> 00:58:53.441
You're letting him slip
through our fingers.

00:58:53.442 --> 00:58:55.735
"Slip through our fingers"?
Are you his executioner?

00:58:55.736 --> 00:58:57.504
I'm one of 'em!

00:58:58.573 --> 00:59:00.490
Perhaps you'd like to pull the switch.

00:59:00.491 --> 00:59:02.576
For this kid, you bet I would.

00:59:02.577 --> 00:59:03.491
I feel sorry for you.

00:59:03.502 --> 00:59:05.939
What it must feel like
to want to pull the switch.

00:59:06.682 --> 00:59:08.769
Ever since you walked into this room,
you've been

00:59:08.770 --> 00:59:10.709
acting like
a self-appointed public avenger.

00:59:10.710 --> 00:59:12.773
You want to see this boy die because you

00:59:12.799 --> 00:59:15.088
personally want it,
not because of the facts.

00:59:15.089 --> 00:59:17.340
- You're a sadist.
- You...

00:59:17.341 --> 00:59:21.261
Let me go! I'll kill him. I'll kill him!

00:59:21.262 --> 00:59:23.780
You don't really mean you'll kill me,
do you?

00:59:30.980 --> 00:59:33.398
Is there anything wrong, gentlemen?
I heard some noise.

00:59:33.399 --> 00:59:35.399
Oh, no. Everything's all right.
We're just...

00:59:35.410 --> 00:59:37.485
You know, friendly little argument.
It's...

00:59:37.486 --> 00:59:39.444
Um, listen,
we're through with that diagram.

00:59:39.455 --> 00:59:40.890
You can take it if you want.

00:59:42.158 --> 00:59:43.925
Here you are. Thank you.

00:59:49.373 --> 00:59:51.558
What are you lookin' at?

01:00:12.230 --> 01:00:14.256
I suppose somebody has
to start it off again.

01:00:14.257 --> 01:00:15.057
I beg pardon.

01:00:15.154 --> 01:00:18.151
"I beg pardon."
What are you so polite about?

01:00:18.152 --> 01:00:20.320
For the same reason you're not.

01:00:20.321 --> 01:00:22.422
It's the way I was brought up.

01:00:24.242 --> 01:00:26.243
This fighting...

01:00:26.244 --> 01:00:28.370
That's not why we are here, to fight.

01:00:28.371 --> 01:00:30.847
We have a responsibility.

01:00:31.916 --> 01:00:36.586
This, I have always thought,
is a remarkable thing about democracy...

01:00:36.587 --> 01:00:38.563
that we are...

01:00:39.674 --> 01:00:42.342
Uh, what is the word?

01:00:42.343 --> 01:00:45.512
Notified. That we are notified by mail...

01:00:45.513 --> 01:00:49.933
to come down to this place
to decide on the guilt or innocence...

01:00:49.934 --> 01:00:54.062
of a man we have never heard of before.

01:00:54.063 --> 01:00:58.708
We have nothing to gain or lose by...
by our verdict.

01:00:59.527 --> 01:01:02.754
This is one of the reasons
why we are strong.

01:01:03.948 --> 01:01:06.883
We should not make it a personal thing.

01:01:08.119 --> 01:01:09.886
Thank you.

01:01:10.997 --> 01:01:13.373
If nobody else has an idea,
I may have a cutie here.

01:01:13.374 --> 01:01:16.209
I mean, I haven't given it much thought,
but let's throw it out on the stoop...

01:01:16.210 --> 01:01:17.919
and see if the cat licks it up.

01:01:17.920 --> 01:01:20.338
- The cat licks it up?
- Yeah. If the boy...

01:01:24.760 --> 01:01:26.970
Look how dark it's getting out there.

01:01:26.971 --> 01:01:29.531
I'll bet we're gonna have a storm now.

01:01:31.225 --> 01:01:33.785
Boy, oh, boy. It's really hot, huh?

01:01:35.187 --> 01:01:38.081
Pardon me, but don't you ever sweat?

01:01:39.400 --> 01:01:41.651
No, I don't.

01:01:41.652 --> 01:01:43.737
Well, listen. I, uh...

01:01:43.738 --> 01:01:46.990
I was wondering if, uh, maybe...

01:01:46.991 --> 01:01:49.367
maybe we should take another vote.

01:01:49.368 --> 01:01:51.415
Oh, great. Maybe we can follow this one up

01:01:51.426 --> 01:01:53.747
with a little dancing and
refreshments, huh?

01:01:53.748 --> 01:01:55.640
- Hmm.
- Mr. Foreman?

01:01:56.334 --> 01:01:59.961
Well, that's okay with me.
Anyone doesn't want to vote?

01:01:59.962 --> 01:02:03.256
- Hey, come on. Come on.
- I'm sorry.

01:02:03.257 --> 01:02:06.843
I think we ought to have an open ballot...
call out our votes, you know.

01:02:06.844 --> 01:02:09.137
Let's see who stands where.

01:02:09.138 --> 01:02:11.739
That sounds fair to me. Anyone object?

01:02:14.393 --> 01:02:17.203
Okay. I'll call off your jury numbers.
One.

01:02:18.105 --> 01:02:20.982
Oh, that's me. I vote guilty.

01:02:20.983 --> 01:02:22.859
Two?

01:02:22.860 --> 01:02:24.461
Not guilty.

01:02:24.904 --> 01:02:27.839
- Number three?
- Guilty.

01:02:28.741 --> 01:02:30.383
Number four?

01:02:31.786 --> 01:02:33.661
Guilty.

01:02:33.662 --> 01:02:36.514
- Number five?
- Not guilty.

01:02:37.500 --> 01:02:40.894
- Number six?
- Not guilty.

01:02:41.796 --> 01:02:43.546
Number seven?

01:02:43.547 --> 01:02:45.340
Guilty.

01:02:45.341 --> 01:02:47.467
Number eight?

01:02:47.468 --> 01:02:49.235
Not guilty.

01:02:50.471 --> 01:02:53.473
- Number nine?
- Not guilty.

01:02:53.474 --> 01:02:55.742
- Number 10?
- Guilty.

01:02:57.436 --> 01:02:59.562
Number 11?

01:02:59.563 --> 01:03:01.481
Not guilty.

01:03:01.482 --> 01:03:03.082
Number 12?

01:03:03.901 --> 01:03:06.319
Number 12.

01:03:06.320 --> 01:03:07.921
Guilty.

01:03:13.744 --> 01:03:15.912
The vote is now six to six.

01:03:15.913 --> 01:03:19.165
Yeah, right.
And we go into extra innings here, huh?

01:03:21.502 --> 01:03:22.649
Six to six.

01:03:22.660 --> 01:03:26.089
I'm telling you, some of you people
in here must be out of your minds.

01:03:26.090 --> 01:03:28.007
A kid like that.

01:03:28.008 --> 01:03:31.344
I don't think the kind of boy he is
has anything to do with it.

01:03:31.345 --> 01:03:33.513
The facts are supposed
to determine the case.

01:03:33.514 --> 01:03:35.765
Don't give me that!
I'm sick and tired of facts!

01:03:35.766 --> 01:03:37.851
You can twist them any way you like.
You know what I mean?

01:03:37.852 --> 01:03:40.320
That's exactly the point
this gentleman has been making.

01:03:40.321 --> 01:03:41.121
Oh!

01:03:41.147 --> 01:03:43.523
I mean, you keep shouting
at the top of your lungs.

01:03:45.109 --> 01:03:47.110
I'd like to be a few years younger.

01:03:47.111 --> 01:03:49.128
That man gets on my...

01:03:52.408 --> 01:03:55.326
- My, it's hot in here, isn't it?
- Do you want a drink of water?

01:03:55.327 --> 01:03:59.122
No. No, thanks. Thanks.

01:04:06.881 --> 01:04:08.756
It's gonna rain.

01:04:08.757 --> 01:04:11.109
Well, how'd you figure that out, killer?

01:04:12.261 --> 01:04:14.220
How come you changed your vote?

01:04:14.221 --> 01:04:16.723
Well, it just seemed to me
there was room for doubt.

01:04:16.724 --> 01:04:19.159
You haven't got a leg to stand on.
You know that, I hope.

01:04:19.160 --> 01:04:20.153
I don't feel that way.

01:04:20.164 --> 01:04:22.245
There were a lot of
details that never came out.

01:04:22.246 --> 01:04:25.732
- Yeah. Well, good luck.
- Oh, come on. You're like everybody else.

01:04:25.733 --> 01:04:28.042
You think too much. You get mixed up.

01:04:29.195 --> 01:04:30.327
You know what I mean?

01:04:30.353 --> 01:04:33.239
Now, listen.
I don't think you have any right...

01:04:33.240 --> 01:04:35.909
Loudmouth.

01:05:28.546 --> 01:05:31.147
Look at that come down, will you?

01:05:32.216 --> 01:05:34.175
You know...

01:05:34.176 --> 01:05:36.761
this reminds me of a storm we had last...

01:05:36.762 --> 01:05:40.306
Oh, when was that? November...

01:05:40.307 --> 01:05:43.476
I don't know. Something.
It was quite a storm we had there.

01:05:43.477 --> 01:05:45.937
It was right in the middle of a game.

01:05:45.938 --> 01:05:48.648
Uh, we were behind 7-6...

01:05:48.649 --> 01:05:51.317
but we just started to move the ball,
right off the tackle.

01:05:51.318 --> 01:05:54.195
Started cutting right...
slash here and slash right in...

01:05:54.196 --> 01:05:56.072
cut right through.

01:05:56.073 --> 01:05:58.658
And, uh...

01:05:58.659 --> 01:06:00.968
We had this kid Slattery, you know?

01:06:02.037 --> 01:06:05.498
A real... He was an ox.
You know, a real ox.

01:06:05.499 --> 01:06:08.084
I wish I had another one just like him.

01:06:08.085 --> 01:06:09.232
I forgot to tell you.

01:06:09.243 --> 01:06:12.672
I'm the assistant head coach
at the Andrew J. McCorkle High School.

01:06:12.673 --> 01:06:14.841
- Oh, yeah?
- That's out in Queens.

01:06:14.842 --> 01:06:17.677
And, uh, anyway...

01:06:17.678 --> 01:06:19.846
we're starting to move along real nice.

01:06:19.847 --> 01:06:23.116
Their whole line is just...
they're just coming apart.

01:06:24.310 --> 01:06:28.146
And it starts to come down cats and dogs,
just like this.

01:06:28.147 --> 01:06:30.873
Just whoosh... you know, right down.

01:06:32.067 --> 01:06:35.528
Well, that was murder, you know?

01:06:35.529 --> 01:06:38.197
I swear, I... I nearly bawled.

01:06:38.198 --> 01:06:40.633
You just... You couldn't go nowhere.

01:06:41.785 --> 01:06:43.219
Well.

01:06:58.761 --> 01:07:01.362
Hey, what is it with this fan here?
How come...

01:07:09.021 --> 01:07:10.855
Hey! Huh?

01:07:10.856 --> 01:07:14.250
Must have been
on the same switch with the lights.

01:07:15.152 --> 01:07:18.421
Well, things are looking up here, huh?

01:07:18.989 --> 01:07:20.590
Yeah, huh?

01:07:25.329 --> 01:07:27.430
Boy. That's better.

01:07:34.004 --> 01:07:35.588
Hey!

01:07:35.589 --> 01:07:37.356
Two points.

01:07:41.261 --> 01:07:43.362
Any of you guys ever go to the Garden?

01:07:45.557 --> 01:07:48.518
That's a damn stupid thing to do.

01:07:48.519 --> 01:07:50.787
Oh, I'm sorry. I, uh...

01:07:51.730 --> 01:07:53.206
You know?

01:07:54.817 --> 01:07:56.417
Pardon me.

01:07:57.403 --> 01:07:59.821
Well, how do you like it? Even Steven.

01:07:59.822 --> 01:08:02.281
Pretty surprising, isn't it?

01:08:02.282 --> 01:08:03.883
Yes.

01:08:05.577 --> 01:08:09.163
Say, that business before,
when that tall guy... what's-his-name...

01:08:09.164 --> 01:08:11.958
was trying to bait me...
That doesn't prove anything.

01:08:11.959 --> 01:08:14.627
I'm a pretty excitable person.

01:08:14.628 --> 01:08:18.548
I mean, where does he come off calling me
a public avenger, sadist and everything?

01:08:18.549 --> 01:08:22.135
Anyone in his right mind
would blow his stack, huh?

01:08:22.136 --> 01:08:24.512
He was just trying to bait me.

01:08:24.513 --> 01:08:26.614
He did an excellent job.

01:08:29.309 --> 01:08:31.602
I'll tell you what I think.
We're going nowhere here.

01:08:31.603 --> 01:08:34.299
I'm ready to walk into court right now and
declare a hung jury.

01:08:34.300 --> 01:08:36.387
There's no point
in this thing going on any more.

01:08:36.397 --> 01:08:37.567
Yeah. I go for that too.

01:08:37.568 --> 01:08:38.736
Listen, let's take it in to the judge

01:08:38.746 --> 01:08:40.486
and let the kid take his chances
with 12 other guys.

01:08:40.487 --> 01:08:42.573
I don't think the judge
will accept a hung jury.

01:08:42.584 --> 01:08:44.062
We haven't been in here very long.

01:08:44.072 --> 01:08:45.158
Well, let's find out.

01:08:45.159 --> 01:08:46.951
I'm not in favor of that.

01:08:46.952 --> 01:08:50.246
Listen. This kid wouldn't stand a chance
with another jury, and you know it.

01:08:50.247 --> 01:08:51.151
Come on! We're hung.

01:08:51.162 --> 01:08:53.423
Nobody's gonna change his vote.
Let's take it inside.

01:08:53.424 --> 01:08:55.816
You still don't think there's room
for reasonable doubt?

01:08:55.826 --> 01:08:56.836
No, I don't.

01:08:56.837 --> 01:08:58.212
Pardon.

01:08:58.213 --> 01:09:01.549
Maybe you don't fully understand
the term "reasonable doubt."

01:09:01.550 --> 01:09:04.193
What do you mean I don't understand?

01:09:05.179 --> 01:09:07.221
Boy, how do ya like this guy?

01:09:07.222 --> 01:09:08.973
I'm tellin' ya, they're all alike.

01:09:08.974 --> 01:09:10.418
They come over here,
running for their life,

01:09:10.428 --> 01:09:12.212
and before they can take a deep breath...

01:09:12.222 --> 01:09:14.353
they're telling us how
to run the show, huh?

01:09:14.354 --> 01:09:16.230
Boy, the arrogance of this guy.

01:09:16.231 --> 01:09:17.399
Hey, all right.

01:09:17.410 --> 01:09:20.902
Let's stop the arguing for
about two minutes in here.

01:09:20.903 --> 01:09:23.362
Now, who's got something
constructive to say?

01:09:23.363 --> 01:09:26.991
I'd like to go over something,
if you gentlemen don't mind.

01:09:26.992 --> 01:09:29.744
An important point for the prosecution
was the fact...

01:09:29.745 --> 01:09:32.580
that after the boy claimed
he'd been at the movies...

01:09:32.581 --> 01:09:34.665
during the hours that
the killing took place...

01:09:34.666 --> 01:09:38.628
couldn't remember the names of the movies
or the stars who appeared in them.

01:09:38.629 --> 01:09:41.369
This gentleman here has put up
that point in here several times.

01:09:41.379 --> 01:09:42.757
That's correct.

01:09:42.758 --> 01:09:44.717
It was the only alibi the boy offered...

01:09:44.718 --> 01:09:47.303
and he himself couldn't back it up
with any details at all.

01:09:47.304 --> 01:09:50.696
Putting yourself in the boy's place,
do you think you could remember details...

01:09:50.706 --> 01:09:54.185
after an upsetting experience such as
being slapped in the face by your father?

01:09:54.186 --> 01:09:57.480
I think so, if there were
any special details to remember.

01:09:57.481 --> 01:09:59.185
The boy couldn't remember
the names of the movies

01:09:59.186 --> 01:10:00.733
he saw because
he wasn't there that night.

01:10:00.734 --> 01:10:02.860
According to the police
testimony in court...

01:10:02.861 --> 01:10:06.079
the boy was questioned by the detectives
in the kitchen of his apartment...

01:10:06.089 --> 01:10:09.075
while the body of his father
was lying on the floor in the bedroom.

01:10:09.076 --> 01:10:11.903
Do you think you could remember
details under those circumstances?

01:10:11.913 --> 01:10:13.830
- I do.
- Under great emotional stress?

01:10:13.831 --> 01:10:16.415
- Under great emotional stress.
- He remembered them correctly in court.

01:10:16.416 --> 01:10:18.764
He named the pictures and
the stars who played in them.

01:10:18.774 --> 01:10:21.712
Yes. His lawyer took great pains
to bring that out.

01:10:21.713 --> 01:10:22.570
He had three months

01:10:22.581 --> 01:10:24.340
from the night of the murder
to the day of the trial...

01:10:24.341 --> 01:10:26.050
in which to memorize them.

01:10:26.051 --> 01:10:27.444
It's not difficult for a lawyer
to find out

01:10:27.454 --> 01:10:29.107
what played at a particular theater...

01:10:29.117 --> 01:10:30.555
on a particular night.

01:10:30.556 --> 01:10:32.426
I'll take the testimony
of the policemen who

01:10:32.452 --> 01:10:34.409
interrogated the boy right
after the murder...

01:10:34.419 --> 01:10:36.769
when he couldn't remember
a thing about the movies...

01:10:36.770 --> 01:10:38.771
great emotional stress or not.

01:10:38.772 --> 01:10:42.149
- I'd like to ask you a personal question.
- Go ahead.

01:10:42.150 --> 01:10:45.486
- Where were you last night?
- I was home.

01:10:45.487 --> 01:10:48.114
- How about the night before that?
- Come on! What is this?

01:10:48.115 --> 01:10:49.532
No, it's all right.

01:10:49.533 --> 01:10:52.159
I left the office at 8:30 and
went straight home and to bed.

01:10:52.160 --> 01:10:53.911
And the night before that?

01:10:53.912 --> 01:10:56.414
That was, uh, Tuesday night?

01:10:56.415 --> 01:10:58.633
The night of the bridge tournament.
I played bridge.

01:10:58.643 --> 01:10:59.917
Monday night?

01:10:59.918 --> 01:11:03.229
When you get down to New Year's Eve, 1954,
let me know, huh?

01:11:05.132 --> 01:11:07.191
Monday night?

01:11:08.343 --> 01:11:11.429
Monday night, uh, my wife and I
went to the movies.

01:11:11.430 --> 01:11:13.170
- What did you see?
- The Scarlet Circle.

01:11:13.180 --> 01:11:16.475
- It was a clever whodunit.
- What was the second feature?

01:11:16.476 --> 01:11:19.186
The, um...

01:11:19.187 --> 01:11:21.939
I'll tell you in a minute. The, uh...

01:11:21.940 --> 01:11:26.193
Remarkable Mrs., uh, something...

01:11:26.194 --> 01:11:28.738
The...

01:11:28.739 --> 01:11:31.490
Mrs. Bainbridge.
The Remarkable Mrs. Bainbridge.

01:11:31.491 --> 01:11:34.343
I saw that.
It's called The Amazing Mrs. Bainbridge.

01:11:35.537 --> 01:11:38.059
Uh, yes. The Amazing Mrs. Bainbridge.
I think that's right.

01:11:38.069 --> 01:11:40.583
Who was in The Amazing Mrs. Bainbridge?

01:11:40.584 --> 01:11:44.337
Barbara... Long, I think it was.

01:11:44.338 --> 01:11:46.439
A dark, very pretty girl.

01:11:47.674 --> 01:11:50.259
Ling or Long... something like that.

01:11:50.260 --> 01:11:53.554
- Who else?
- I'd never heard of them before.

01:11:53.555 --> 01:11:58.059
It was a very inexpensive second feature
with, uh, unknown...

01:11:58.060 --> 01:12:01.287
And you weren't under
an emotional stress, were you?

01:12:04.107 --> 01:12:06.317
No.

01:12:06.318 --> 01:12:08.085
I wasn't.

01:12:09.863 --> 01:12:11.697
I think the point is made.

01:12:11.698 --> 01:12:14.533
Big point!

01:12:14.534 --> 01:12:16.882
You can talk till your tongue
is draggin' on the floor.

01:12:16.892 --> 01:12:20.957
The boy is guilty, period.
You know what I mean, my friend?

01:12:20.958 --> 01:12:24.310
- Who's got those cough drops?
- They're all gone, my friend.

01:12:26.213 --> 01:12:28.547
Oh, boy. Look at that rain.

01:12:28.548 --> 01:12:31.008
There goes your ball game.

01:12:31.009 --> 01:12:33.511
It's only a shower.

01:12:33.512 --> 01:12:35.763
Besides, they got the infield covered.

01:12:35.764 --> 01:12:39.033
Right. Say, could I see
that knife a second, please?

01:12:41.728 --> 01:12:44.146
Well, we're still tied up six to six.

01:12:44.147 --> 01:12:46.232
Who's got a suggestion?

01:12:46.233 --> 01:12:48.317
It's five after 6:00.
Let's get some dinner.

01:12:48.318 --> 01:12:50.861
Why don't we wait till 7:00,
give it another hour, huh?

01:12:50.862 --> 01:12:53.072
Okay with me.

01:12:53.073 --> 01:12:55.324
Uh, there's something I'd like to say.

01:12:55.325 --> 01:12:58.953
I mean, it's been bothering me a little,
and as long as we're stuck.

01:12:58.954 --> 01:13:02.915
Well, there was this whole business about
the stab wound and how it was made...

01:13:02.916 --> 01:13:04.625
the downward angle of it, you know?

01:13:04.626 --> 01:13:06.711
Don't tell me we're gonna start
with that again.

01:13:06.712 --> 01:13:08.421
They've been over it and over it.

01:13:08.422 --> 01:13:10.798
Well, I know they did,
but I don't go along with it.

01:13:10.799 --> 01:13:14.885
Now, the boy was 5 feet 7 inches tall.
His father was 6'2...

01:13:14.886 --> 01:13:17.138
That's a difference of seven inches.

01:13:17.139 --> 01:13:20.009
It's a very awkward thing to stab down
into the chest of someone...

01:13:20.010 --> 01:13:22.095
who's more than half a foot taller
than you are.

01:13:22.096 --> 01:13:24.186
Give me that.

01:13:24.187 --> 01:13:27.081
I'll give you a demonstration.
Somebody get up.

01:13:28.358 --> 01:13:30.376
You...

01:13:34.781 --> 01:13:37.695
I want you to watch this 'cause
I don't want to have to do it again.

01:13:37.705 --> 01:13:40.411
I'll make myself about six
or seven inches shorter, okay?

01:13:40.412 --> 01:13:43.639
- It's about right. Maybe a little more.
- Okay. A little more.

01:13:51.339 --> 01:13:53.858
That's not funny.

01:13:55.844 --> 01:13:59.780
Now, nobody's hurt. Right?

01:14:00.348 --> 01:14:02.241
Right. Nobody hurt.

01:14:05.604 --> 01:14:10.483
Now, this is the way I'd stab a man
who was taller than I was.

01:14:10.484 --> 01:14:13.027
Look at the angle... down and in.

01:14:13.028 --> 01:14:15.196
And this is the way it was done.

01:14:15.197 --> 01:14:17.464
Now tell me I'm wrong.

01:14:19.576 --> 01:14:21.591
Down and in. I guess there's no argument.

01:14:21.602 --> 01:14:23.079
Hold it a minute, will ya?

01:14:23.080 --> 01:14:25.014
Can you give me that?

01:14:25.916 --> 01:14:27.917
Boy, I hate these things.

01:14:27.918 --> 01:14:29.668
- Did you ever see a knife fight?
- No.

01:14:29.669 --> 01:14:31.337
- You?
- No.

01:14:31.338 --> 01:14:34.215
Anybody here ever see a knife fight?

01:14:34.216 --> 01:14:37.093
Well, I have.
You know, on my back stoop...

01:14:37.094 --> 01:14:39.512
the lot across the street, backyard.

01:14:39.513 --> 01:14:42.014
Switchblades came
with the neighborhood where I lived.

01:14:42.015 --> 01:14:45.450
It's funny I never thought of it before.
I guess you try to forget those things.

01:14:45.460 --> 01:14:48.937
- How do you use a switchblade?
- Well, you'd never use it like this.

01:14:50.482 --> 01:14:52.875
See, you use too much time
switching hands.

01:14:54.528 --> 01:14:57.129
Here's how... underhanded.

01:14:59.741 --> 01:15:02.868
Anyone who's ever used a switch knife
wouldn't handle it any other way.

01:15:02.869 --> 01:15:05.579
- Are you sure?
- I'm sure.

01:15:05.580 --> 01:15:07.498
That's why they're made
to open like that.

01:15:07.499 --> 01:15:09.667
You'd say the boy was pretty handy
with a knife?

01:15:09.693 --> 01:15:10.493
Mm-hmm.

01:15:10.510 --> 01:15:13.562
You think he could have made
the kind of wound that killed his father?

01:15:13.563 --> 01:15:17.366
No. Not with the experience he'd had
all his life handling these things.

01:15:17.467 --> 01:15:19.552
I feel he'd have gone
for him underhanded.

01:15:19.553 --> 01:15:20.353
How do you know?

01:15:20.355 --> 01:15:22.589
Were you in the room
when the father was killed?

01:15:22.681 --> 01:15:24.765
No. Neither was anybody else.

01:15:24.766 --> 01:15:27.020
So what are you giving us
all this mumbo-jumbo for?

01:15:27.031 --> 01:15:28.060
I don't believe it.

01:15:28.061 --> 01:15:29.931
I don't think you can
determine what type of

01:15:29.957 --> 01:15:31.871
wound the boy might or
might not have made...

01:15:31.881 --> 01:15:34.108
simply because he knew
how to handle a knife.

01:15:34.109 --> 01:15:36.527
What do you think?

01:15:36.528 --> 01:15:38.696
- I don't know.
- What do you mean you don't know?

01:15:38.697 --> 01:15:40.631
I don't know.

01:15:44.744 --> 01:15:46.829
How about you?

01:15:46.830 --> 01:15:49.135
I don't know about the rest of them,
but I'm getting

01:15:49.136 --> 01:15:51.441
a little tired of this
yackety-yackin' back and forth.

01:15:51.451 --> 01:15:54.211
It's gettin' us nowhere.
So I guess I'll have to break it up.

01:15:54.212 --> 01:15:56.839
I change my vote to not guilty.

01:15:56.840 --> 01:16:00.259
- You what?
- You heard me. I've had enough.

01:16:00.260 --> 01:16:02.803
What do you mean you've had enough?
That's no answer!

01:16:02.804 --> 01:16:03.815
Hey, listen.

01:16:03.826 --> 01:16:06.849
You just take care of yourself, huh?
You know?

01:16:06.850 --> 01:16:10.895
He's right. That's not an answer.

01:16:10.896 --> 01:16:13.939
What kind of a man are you?

01:16:13.940 --> 01:16:17.151
You have sat here and voted guilty
with everyone else...

01:16:17.152 --> 01:16:21.488
because there are some baseball tickets
burning a hole in your pocket.

01:16:21.489 --> 01:16:23.037
And now you've changed your vote

01:16:23.048 --> 01:16:25.853
because you say you're sick
of all the talking here?

01:16:26.745 --> 01:16:28.287
Now listen, buddy!

01:16:28.288 --> 01:16:33.042
Who tells you that you have the right
to play like this with a man's life?

01:16:33.043 --> 01:16:35.628
- Don't you care...
- Now wait a minute!

01:16:35.629 --> 01:16:39.715
- You can't talk like that to me!
- I can talk like that to you.

01:16:39.716 --> 01:16:41.675
If you want to vote not guilty...

01:16:41.676 --> 01:16:44.285
then do it because you are convinced
the man is not guilty...

01:16:44.295 --> 01:16:46.013
not because you've had enough.

01:16:46.014 --> 01:16:48.682
And if you think he is guilty,
then vote that way.

01:16:48.683 --> 01:16:51.977
Or don't you have the guts to do
what you think is right?

01:16:51.978 --> 01:16:54.330
- Now listen.
- Guilty or not guilty?

01:16:55.023 --> 01:16:58.709
- I told you, not guilty.
- Why?

01:17:00.278 --> 01:17:01.987
Look, I don't have to...

01:17:01.988 --> 01:17:05.199
You do have to! Say it! Why?

01:17:05.200 --> 01:17:07.760
All right. I don't, uh, think he's guilty.

01:17:17.170 --> 01:17:18.879
I want another vote.

01:17:18.880 --> 01:17:21.465
Okay. There's another vote called for.

01:17:21.466 --> 01:17:24.426
I guess the quickest way
is a show of hands. Anyone object?

01:17:24.427 --> 01:17:27.446
Okay. All those voting not guilty,
raise your hands.

01:17:28.265 --> 01:17:33.535
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...

01:17:36.273 --> 01:17:38.040
eight.

01:17:41.861 --> 01:17:44.088
Um, nine.

01:17:44.990 --> 01:17:50.077
Um, all those voting guilty,
raise your hands.

01:17:50.078 --> 01:17:52.538
One, two, three.

01:17:52.539 --> 01:17:55.140
Well, the vote's nine to three
in favor of acquittal.

01:17:56.042 --> 01:17:58.294
I don't understand you people!

01:17:58.295 --> 01:18:00.817
I mean, all these picky little points
you keep bringing up.

01:18:00.827 --> 01:18:03.966
They don't mean nothing!
You saw this kid just like I did.

01:18:03.967 --> 01:18:07.553
You're not gonna tell me you believe that
phony story about losing the knife...

01:18:07.554 --> 01:18:09.638
and that business about
being at the movies.

01:18:09.639 --> 01:18:12.725
Look, you know how these people lie.
It's born in them.

01:18:12.726 --> 01:18:14.852
I mean, what the heck.
I don't have to tell you.

01:18:14.853 --> 01:18:16.895
They don't know what the truth is.

01:18:16.896 --> 01:18:17.845
And let me tell you,

01:18:17.856 --> 01:18:20.691
they don't need any real big
reason to kill someone either.

01:18:20.692 --> 01:18:22.526
No, sir.

01:18:22.527 --> 01:18:25.654
They get drunk!
Oh, they're real big drinkers, all of 'em.

01:18:25.655 --> 01:18:28.907
You know that. And bang...
someone's lying in the gutter.

01:18:28.908 --> 01:18:31.994
Well, nobody's blaming them for it.
That's the way they are, by nature.

01:18:31.995 --> 01:18:34.163
You know what I mean? Violent!

01:18:34.164 --> 01:18:35.748
Where are you going?

01:18:35.749 --> 01:18:38.851
Human life don't mean as much
to them as it does to us.

01:18:39.753 --> 01:18:42.838
Look! They're lushing it up and
fighting all the time...

01:18:42.839 --> 01:18:45.100
and if somebody gets killed,
so somebody gets killed!

01:18:45.110 --> 01:18:46.383
They don't care!

01:18:46.384 --> 01:18:48.677
Oh, sure, there's some good things
about 'em too.

01:18:48.678 --> 01:18:50.721
Look, I'm the first one to say that.

01:18:50.722 --> 01:18:52.201
I've known a couple who were okay,

01:18:52.212 --> 01:18:54.219
but that's the exception,
you know what I mean?

01:18:54.220 --> 01:18:56.594
Most of 'em,
it's like they have no feelings.

01:18:56.605 --> 01:18:57.936
They can do anything.

01:18:57.937 --> 01:19:00.606
What's going on here?

01:19:00.607 --> 01:19:02.733
I'm... I'm trying to tell ya...

01:19:02.734 --> 01:19:04.818
you're making a big mistake, you people.

01:19:04.819 --> 01:19:07.921
This kid is a liar! I know it.
I know all about them.

01:19:09.532 --> 01:19:11.784
Listen to me. They're no good.

01:19:11.785 --> 01:19:14.219
There's not a one of 'em who's any good.

01:19:16.164 --> 01:19:18.707
I mean, what... What's happening in here?

01:19:18.708 --> 01:19:21.059
I'm speaking my piece, and you...

01:19:22.170 --> 01:19:23.937
Listen to me.

01:19:24.923 --> 01:19:26.465
I...

01:19:26.466 --> 01:19:29.009
We're...
This kid on trial here, his type...

01:19:29.010 --> 01:19:31.111
Well, don't you know about them?

01:19:32.972 --> 01:19:36.517
Th-There's... There's a danger here.

01:19:36.518 --> 01:19:38.685
These people are dangerous.

01:19:38.686 --> 01:19:41.814
They're... wild.

01:19:41.815 --> 01:19:43.816
Listen to me.

01:19:43.817 --> 01:19:46.235
- Listen.
- I have.

01:19:46.236 --> 01:19:49.338
Now sit down and
don't open your mouth again.

01:19:53.159 --> 01:19:56.011
I was only trying to... tell you.

01:20:32.407 --> 01:20:33.575
It's always difficult

01:20:33.586 --> 01:20:36.812
to keep personal prejudice
out of a thing like this.

01:20:37.829 --> 01:20:41.932
Wherever you run into it,
prejudice always obscures the truth.

01:20:43.418 --> 01:20:45.878
I don't really know what the truth is.

01:20:45.879 --> 01:20:48.897
I don't suppose anybody
will ever really know.

01:20:50.091 --> 01:20:54.136
Nine of us now seem to feel
that the defendant is innocent.

01:20:54.137 --> 01:20:57.222
But we're just gambling on probabilities.

01:20:57.223 --> 01:20:59.266
We may be wrong.

01:20:59.267 --> 01:21:01.727
We may be trying to let
a guilty man go free.

01:21:01.728 --> 01:21:03.270
I don't know.

01:21:03.271 --> 01:21:05.355
Nobody really can.

01:21:05.356 --> 01:21:07.816
But we have a reasonable doubt...

01:21:07.817 --> 01:21:11.403
and that's something
that's very valuable in our system.

01:21:11.404 --> 01:21:16.049
No jury can declare a man
guilty unless it's sure.

01:21:17.410 --> 01:21:19.870
We nine can't understand...

01:21:19.871 --> 01:21:22.681
how you three are still so sure.

01:21:23.416 --> 01:21:25.517
- Maybe you can tell us.
- I'll try.

01:21:26.794 --> 01:21:28.273
You've made some excellent points,

01:21:28.284 --> 01:21:30.464
but I still believe
the boy is guilty of murder...

01:21:30.465 --> 01:21:32.174
and I have two reasons.

01:21:32.175 --> 01:21:35.385
One, the evidence given by the
woman across the street...

01:21:35.386 --> 01:21:38.096
who actually saw the murder committed.

01:21:38.097 --> 01:21:40.766
As far as I'm concerned,
that's the most important testimony.

01:21:40.767 --> 01:21:44.102
And two, the fact that she described
the stabbing by saying...

01:21:44.103 --> 01:21:46.992
she saw the boy raise his arm
over his head

01:21:47.003 --> 01:21:49.816
and stab down into the father's chest.

01:21:49.817 --> 01:21:51.944
She saw him do it the wrong way.

01:21:51.945 --> 01:21:53.946
That's absolutely right.

01:21:53.947 --> 01:21:56.615
Let's talk about this woman for a moment.

01:21:56.616 --> 01:21:59.785
She said she went to bed
about 11:00 that night.

01:21:59.786 --> 01:22:03.455
Her bed was next to the window,
and she could look out while lying down...

01:22:03.456 --> 01:22:07.626
and see directly into
the boy's room across the street.

01:22:07.627 --> 01:22:10.337
She tossed and turned for over an hour,
unable to sleep.

01:22:10.338 --> 01:22:14.591
Finally, she turned toward the window
at about 10 minutes after 12:00...

01:22:14.592 --> 01:22:15.895
and, as she looked out,

01:22:15.906 --> 01:22:19.805
she saw the killing through
the windows of a passing air train.

01:22:19.806 --> 01:22:22.599
She said the lights went out
immediately after the killing...

01:22:22.600 --> 01:22:27.496
but that she got a good look at the boy
in the act of stabbing his father.

01:22:28.398 --> 01:22:32.334
As far as I can see it,
this is unshakable testimony.

01:22:32.986 --> 01:22:35.754
- Well, that's the whole case.
- What do you think?

01:22:41.035 --> 01:22:42.803
How about you?

01:22:44.330 --> 01:22:46.873
I-I don't know.

01:22:46.874 --> 01:22:48.959
So much evidence to sift.

01:22:48.960 --> 01:22:51.003
This is a pretty complicated business.

01:22:51.004 --> 01:22:54.881
Frankly, I don't see
how you can vote for acquittal.

01:22:54.882 --> 01:22:57.301
It's not so easy to arrange
all the evidence in order.

01:22:57.302 --> 01:22:59.428
You can throw out all the other evidence!

01:22:59.429 --> 01:23:03.098
The woman saw him do it!
What else do you want?

01:23:03.099 --> 01:23:05.058
- Yeah, well, maybe...
- Let's vote on it.

01:23:05.059 --> 01:23:07.311
Okay. There's another vote called for.

01:23:07.312 --> 01:23:09.229
Anybody object?

01:23:09.230 --> 01:23:12.357
All right. I'm changing my vote.
He's guilty.

01:23:12.358 --> 01:23:14.860
Anybody else? The vote is eight to four.

01:23:14.861 --> 01:23:18.530
Why is this such a personal triumph
for you... this one vote?

01:23:18.531 --> 01:23:22.075
Okay. I say we're a hung jury.
I say we take it in to the judge.

01:23:22.076 --> 01:23:24.870
How about it? I want to hear arguments.

01:23:24.871 --> 01:23:27.472
You, you're the leader of the cause.
What about it?

01:23:29.626 --> 01:23:31.543
Let's go over it again.

01:23:31.544 --> 01:23:33.545
We've been over it again!

01:23:33.546 --> 01:23:36.124
The boy in the gray flannel suit
here is bouncin'

01:23:36.125 --> 01:23:38.425
backwards and forwards
like a tennis ball.

01:23:38.426 --> 01:23:42.362
No point in getting nasty and
trying to turn this into a contest.

01:23:44.223 --> 01:23:45.766
Okay.

01:23:45.767 --> 01:23:48.894
Maybe we can talk about setting
some kind of time limit.

01:23:48.895 --> 01:23:51.121
Yeah, once around for the deal, huh?

01:23:51.731 --> 01:23:55.567
It's a quarter after 6:00.

01:23:55.568 --> 01:23:57.611
Someone before mentioned 7:00.

01:23:57.612 --> 01:24:00.178
I think that's a point at which
we might begin to discuss...

01:24:00.188 --> 01:24:03.408
the question of whether
we're a hung jury or not.

01:24:03.409 --> 01:24:05.177
Don't you feel well?

01:24:06.412 --> 01:24:08.455
I feel perfectly well, thank you.

01:24:08.456 --> 01:24:11.249
I was saying that 7:00
would be a reasonable time.

01:24:11.250 --> 01:24:14.252
Uh, the reason I asked about
that was because, uh...

01:24:14.253 --> 01:24:15.921
you were rubbing your nose like...

01:24:15.922 --> 01:24:18.674
Oh, I'm sorry for interrupting...

01:24:18.675 --> 01:24:21.968
but you made a gesture that
reminded me of something.

01:24:21.969 --> 01:24:24.096
I'm trying to settle something here.
Do you mind?

01:24:24.097 --> 01:24:26.198
Well, I think this is important.

01:24:27.183 --> 01:24:29.059
Thank you.

01:24:29.060 --> 01:24:31.770
Now then,
I'm sure you'll pardon me for this...

01:24:31.771 --> 01:24:34.773
but I was wondering why you were rubbing
your nose like that.

01:24:34.774 --> 01:24:36.525
Oh, come on, will ya?

01:24:36.526 --> 01:24:40.779
At this point, I happen to be talking
to the gentleman sitting next to you!

01:24:40.780 --> 01:24:44.116
Now, why were you rubbing
your nose like that?

01:24:44.117 --> 01:24:45.756
Well, if it's any of your business,

01:24:45.767 --> 01:24:48.286
I was rubbing it because
it bothers me a little.

01:24:48.287 --> 01:24:49.996
Oh. I'm sorry.

01:24:49.997 --> 01:24:52.969
Is it... Is it because of your eyeglasses?

01:24:52.980 --> 01:24:53.959
It is.

01:24:53.960 --> 01:24:55.794
Now can we get on to something else?

01:24:55.795 --> 01:24:56.977
Your eyeglasses made

01:24:56.988 --> 01:25:00.465
those two deep impressions
on the sides of your nose.

01:25:00.466 --> 01:25:02.718
I hadn't noticed that before.

01:25:02.719 --> 01:25:06.304
- That must be annoying.
- It is very annoying.

01:25:06.305 --> 01:25:08.306
Well, I wouldn't know about that.

01:25:08.307 --> 01:25:11.727
I've never worn eyeglasses.
Twenty-twenty.

01:25:11.728 --> 01:25:14.371
Listen, will you come on already
with the optometrist bit?

01:25:16.190 --> 01:25:19.818
The woman who testified
that she saw the killing...

01:25:19.819 --> 01:25:23.463
had those same marks on
the sides of her nose.

01:25:24.365 --> 01:25:26.658
Holy smokes! You know, he's right.

01:25:26.659 --> 01:25:28.410
Please.

01:25:28.411 --> 01:25:32.247
Just give me a minute,
and I'll be finished.

01:25:32.248 --> 01:25:35.167
I don't know if anyone else
noticed that about her.

01:25:35.168 --> 01:25:39.145
I didn't think of it then,
but I've been going over her face...

01:25:40.089 --> 01:25:42.299
in my mind.

01:25:42.300 --> 01:25:44.401
She had those same marks.

01:25:45.303 --> 01:25:49.573
- She kept rubbing them in court.
- He's right. She did do that a lot.

01:25:50.516 --> 01:25:55.270
This woman was about, uh...
about 45 years old.

01:25:55.271 --> 01:25:59.316
She was making a tremendous effort
to look 35...

01:25:59.317 --> 01:26:01.610
for her first public appearance.

01:26:01.611 --> 01:26:04.946
Heavy makeup, dyed hair...

01:26:04.947 --> 01:26:07.531
brand-new clothes that
should have been worn

01:26:07.542 --> 01:26:08.909
by a younger woman.

01:26:08.910 --> 01:26:10.660
No glasses.

01:26:10.661 --> 01:26:12.412
No, women do that.

01:26:12.413 --> 01:26:14.915
See if you can get
the mental picture of it.

01:26:14.916 --> 01:26:16.833
What do you mean, no glasses?

01:26:16.834 --> 01:26:20.226
How do you know whether she wore glasses?
Just 'cause she was rubbing her nose?

01:26:20.236 --> 01:26:21.922
Now, she had those marks. I saw 'em.

01:26:21.923 --> 01:26:23.924
So what? What do ya think that means?

01:26:23.925 --> 01:26:26.192
Listen, I'm getting so sick
of your yelling in here!

01:26:26.218 --> 01:26:27.219
Come on. Forget it.

01:26:27.220 --> 01:26:30.305
Hey, listen. Listen, he's right.
I saw them too.

01:26:30.306 --> 01:26:31.377
I was the closest one to her.

01:26:31.387 --> 01:26:33.605
She had these,
these things on the side of her nose.

01:26:33.606 --> 01:26:36.911
- What do you call those on the side?
- Well, what point are you making here?

01:26:36.921 --> 01:26:40.774
She had dyed hair, marks on her nose.
Well, what does that mean?

01:26:40.775 --> 01:26:45.170
Could those marks be made by anything
other than eyeglasses?

01:26:48.658 --> 01:26:51.076
No, they couldn't.

01:26:51.077 --> 01:26:53.178
I didn't see any marks!

01:26:54.705 --> 01:26:56.498
I did.

01:26:56.499 --> 01:26:59.125
Strange, but I didn't think
about it before.

01:26:59.126 --> 01:27:01.561
Well, what about the lawyer?
Why didn't he say something?

01:27:01.571 --> 01:27:04.339
There are 12 people in here
concentrating on this case.

01:27:04.340 --> 01:27:06.508
Eleven of us didn't think of it either.

01:27:06.509 --> 01:27:09.988
Well, what about the district attorney?
Do you think he'd pull a trick like that?

01:27:09.998 --> 01:27:11.738
Have her testify without her glasses?

01:27:11.764 --> 01:27:13.982
Did you ever see a woman
who had to wear glasses and

01:27:13.983 --> 01:27:16.331
didn't want to because
she thinks they spoil her looks?

01:27:16.341 --> 01:27:19.354
Okay. She had marks on her nose.

01:27:19.355 --> 01:27:23.108
I'm giving you that. From glasses, right?

01:27:23.109 --> 01:27:25.309
She didn't want to wear 'em out
of the house

01:27:25.320 --> 01:27:27.362
so people would think she's gorgeous.

01:27:27.363 --> 01:27:30.117
But when she saw this kid
killing his father,

01:27:30.128 --> 01:27:32.033
she was in the house alone.

01:27:32.034 --> 01:27:34.327
That's all.

01:27:34.328 --> 01:27:38.431
- Do you wear glasses when you go to bed?
- No, I don't.

01:27:40.042 --> 01:27:42.043
No one wears eyeglasses to bed.

01:27:42.044 --> 01:27:44.218
It's logical to assume that
she wasn't wearing them

01:27:44.228 --> 01:27:45.218
when she was in bed...

01:27:45.219 --> 01:27:47.053
tossing and turning,
trying to fall asleep.

01:27:47.054 --> 01:27:49.384
- How do you know?
- I don't know! I'm guessing.

01:27:49.385 --> 01:27:51.928
I'm also guessing that
she probably didn't put her glasses on...

01:27:51.929 --> 01:27:54.139
when she turned to look
casually out of the window.

01:27:54.140 --> 01:27:56.975
And she herself testified the killing
took place just as she looked out.

01:27:56.976 --> 01:27:58.451
The lights went off a split second later.

01:27:58.461 --> 01:28:00.103
She couldn't have had time
to put them on then.

01:28:00.104 --> 01:28:01.813
- Wait a second.
- Here's another guess.

01:28:01.814 --> 01:28:04.563
Maybe she honestly thought
she saw the boy kill his father.

01:28:04.574 --> 01:28:05.984
I say she only saw a blur.

01:28:05.985 --> 01:28:09.654
How do you know what she saw?
How does he know all that?

01:28:09.655 --> 01:28:11.643
How do you know
what kind of glasses she wore?

01:28:11.654 --> 01:28:12.829
Maybe they were sunglasses.

01:28:12.839 --> 01:28:15.201
Maybe she was farsighted.
What do you know about it?

01:28:15.202 --> 01:28:18.538
I only know the woman's
eyesight is in question now.

01:28:18.539 --> 01:28:24.753
She had to be able to identify a person
60 feet away, at night, without glasses.

01:28:24.754 --> 01:28:27.213
You can't send someone off
to die on evidence like that.

01:28:27.214 --> 01:28:29.299
Oh, don't give me that.

01:28:29.300 --> 01:28:31.551
Don't you think the woman
might have made a mistake?

01:28:31.552 --> 01:28:34.054
- No.
- It's not possible?

01:28:34.055 --> 01:28:35.780
No, it's not possible.

01:28:38.643 --> 01:28:40.660
Is it possible?

01:28:41.687 --> 01:28:43.455
Not guilty.

01:28:47.526 --> 01:28:50.278
Do you think he's guilty?

01:28:50.279 --> 01:28:52.380
I think he's guilty.

01:28:55.034 --> 01:28:56.801
Do you?

01:28:59.580 --> 01:29:02.707
No. I'm convinced.

01:29:02.708 --> 01:29:04.376
Not guilty.

01:29:04.377 --> 01:29:06.252
What's the matter with you?

01:29:06.253 --> 01:29:08.254
I have a reasonable doubt now.

01:29:08.255 --> 01:29:09.881
Eleven to one.

01:29:09.882 --> 01:29:12.884
Well, what about all the other evidence?
What about all that stuff?

01:29:12.885 --> 01:29:15.053
The knife, the whole business!

01:29:15.054 --> 01:29:18.073
Well, you said we could throw out
all the other evidence.

01:29:23.729 --> 01:29:25.997
Well, what do we do now?

01:29:28.901 --> 01:29:30.652
You're alone.

01:29:30.653 --> 01:29:34.589
I don't care whether I'm alone or not!
It's my right.

01:29:37.660 --> 01:29:39.928
It's your right.

01:29:48.963 --> 01:29:51.481
Well, what do you want?
I say he's guilty.

01:29:53.009 --> 01:29:56.444
- We want to hear your arguments.
- I gave you my arguments.

01:29:57.346 --> 01:29:59.556
We're not convinced.

01:29:59.557 --> 01:30:02.434
We want to hear them again.

01:30:02.435 --> 01:30:04.536
We have as much time as it takes.

01:30:10.109 --> 01:30:14.654
Everything... Every single thing
that took place in that courtroom...

01:30:14.655 --> 01:30:16.656
but I mean everything... says he's guilty.

01:30:16.657 --> 01:30:19.217
What do you think,
I'm an idiot or something?

01:30:20.786 --> 01:30:22.954
Why don't you take that
stuff about the old man?

01:30:22.955 --> 01:30:26.224
The old man who lived there
and heard everything.

01:30:27.793 --> 01:30:29.544
Or this business about the knife.

01:30:29.545 --> 01:30:31.676
What? 'Cause he found another one
exactly like it?

01:30:31.686 --> 01:30:35.050
The old man saw him right there
on the stairs!

01:30:35.051 --> 01:30:37.986
What's the difference
how many seconds it was?

01:30:39.055 --> 01:30:41.156
Every single thing.

01:30:42.475 --> 01:30:45.727
The knife falling through
a hole in his pocket.

01:30:45.728 --> 01:30:49.147
You can't prove he didn't get to the door.

01:30:49.148 --> 01:30:51.649
Sure, you can take all the time,
hobble around the room.

01:30:51.650 --> 01:30:54.335
But you can't prove it!

01:30:56.155 --> 01:30:59.866
And what about this business
of the El and the movies?

01:30:59.867 --> 01:31:02.994
There's a phony deal if I ever heard one.

01:31:02.995 --> 01:31:07.290
I'll bet ya $5,000
I'd remember the movies I saw.

01:31:07.291 --> 01:31:09.626
I'm telling ya,
everything that's gone on...

01:31:09.627 --> 01:31:13.546
has been twisted and turned!

01:31:13.547 --> 01:31:15.715
This business with the glasses?

01:31:15.716 --> 01:31:21.346
How do you know she didn't have them on?
This woman testified in open court!

01:31:21.347 --> 01:31:25.391
And what about hearing the kid yell, huh?

01:31:25.392 --> 01:31:28.745
I'm telling ya,
I've got all the facts here.

01:31:29.814 --> 01:31:31.789
Here. Ah...

01:31:34.068 --> 01:31:36.669
Well, that's it! That's the whole case.

01:31:43.786 --> 01:31:45.470
Well?

01:31:47.665 --> 01:31:49.766
Say something!

01:31:54.797 --> 01:31:58.483
You lousy bunch of bleeding hearts.

01:31:59.051 --> 01:32:01.052
You're not gonna intimidate me.

01:32:01.053 --> 01:32:03.655
I'm entitled to my opinion.

01:32:06.934 --> 01:32:11.329
Rotten kids. You work your life out!

01:32:16.068 --> 01:32:18.127
I can't keep...

01:32:22.700 --> 01:32:24.467
No.

01:32:28.247 --> 01:32:30.181
Not guilty.

01:32:33.460 --> 01:32:35.228
Not guilty.

01:32:38.132 --> 01:32:39.841
Not...

01:32:50.311 --> 01:32:52.578
Um, we're ready now.

01:34:46.135 --> 01:34:47.902
Hey!

01:34:52.141 --> 01:34:53.891
What's your name?

01:34:53.892 --> 01:34:55.476
Davis.

01:34:55.477 --> 01:34:57.495
My name's McCardle.

01:34:59.732 --> 01:35:01.482
Well, so long.

01:35:01.483 --> 01:35:03.084
So long.

01:35:06.483 --> 01:35:20.084
