...claims that because my client
acts under an irresistible impulse
1:46:07
he is condemned to death
1:46:09
He is right!
1:46:11
He is mistaken. Because it is
that very fact that clears him
1:46:17
Just a minute, enough!
1:46:19
Mad old drunk!
1:46:20
ls this very obsession which
makes my client not responsible
1:46:26
And nobody can be punished
for something he can't help
1:46:32
-Ridiculous!
-Do you suggest
1:46:34
that this brute should get off?

A sick man should be handed over
1:46:42
not to the executioner,

the compulsion to kill returns?
Another man-hunt for months
1:46:59
Paragraph 51 again. The asylum,
then another escape or release
1:47:03
Then the compulsion all over again,
and so on, and on
1:47:08
No one can kill a man who isn't
responsible for his actions
1:47:16
Not the state,
and certainly not you
1:47:21
The state must see that this man
becomes harmless and no longer
1:47:27
is a danger to his fellow citizens
1:47:35
You've never had children, huh?
So you haven't lost any
1:47:42
But if you knew what it's like
to lose one... Go ask the parents!
1:47:51
Ask them what those days
and nights were like when
1:47:55
they didn't know what had happened.
And then when they finally knew
