1:29:00
- Well, then what'd you lie for?
- I didn't lie.
1:29:02
Oh, yes, you did.
It's as plain as the nose on your face.
1:29:05
But why?
Why did you lie about the moonlight?
1:29:08
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- I'll tell you what I'm talking about.
1:29:11
You lied because you had a fight with
Scrub White, but it wasn't about politics.
1:29:16
You never mentioned politics.
That was your first lie, wasn't it?
1:29:19
- It was politics, I tell you. It was!
- No, you were fightin' about somethin' else.
1:29:22
- Maybe it was money.
- No.
1:29:24
- Maybe you owed him money,
or maybe he owed you some. - No. No.
1:29:27
Maybe he was gettin' a little graft here
and there, and you wanted to get in on it.
1:29:29
That ain't true.
1:29:30
- Maybe it was some girl.
- No, that ain't right.
1:29:32
- Well, what was it? It was one of those things.
- No.
1:29:34
Something made you
want to get rid of Scrub.
1:29:36
- You're crazy. Scrub was my friend.
- Maybe.
1:29:38
Just the same, you lied.
Now, why? Come on, tell us.
1:29:42
Why'd you say you saw what happened
when you didn't see?
1:29:45
- I -
- Well, I'll tell you what happened.
1:29:47
You heard a row,
and you saw the fight start...
1:29:50
and you come runnin', and you saw that Scrub,
was still livin'. - No.
1:29:54
- Right there on the ground, you saw
the knife that Matt had dropped. - No.
1:29:58
- You bent over him and picked up the knife.
- No.
1:30:01
- Your body hid what you were doin'.
- No.
1:30:03
- And you stabbed him.
- No, I didn't.
1:30:05
- You stabbed him in the back and killed him!
- No.
1:30:07
And these two boys,
Matt and Adam -
1:30:11
They each knew
that he didn't do it...
1:30:13
therefore, each thought
the other did it.
1:30:16
And their mother-
she saw the knife in Matt's hand...
1:30:18
but she couldn't say so
without puttin'the rope around his neck.
1:30:22
And you -you killed him!
1:30:26
And you lied.
And your lie tripped you up.
1:30:29
- No.
- That crude, cold-blooded lie...
1:30:32
that was gonna cover up the crime
that you committed.
1:30:34
- No.
- The lie you can't deny, now, can you?
1:30:38
- No.
- Can you?
1:30:40
Answer me!
You did kill him, didn't you?
1:30:42
- Didn't you?
- I - I -
1:30:45
I didn't mean to kill him!
I was drunk! I was drinkin' all day!
1:30:48
He was my friend! I didn't mean to kill him!
Honest! I didn't mean to kill him!
1:30:52
I was drunk.!
1:30:54
No more questions, Your Honor.
1:30:57
Your witness.
