...or answer any questions
if you don't want.

:21:03
But I do want to. Sure I want to.
:21:05
Okay, that's fine.
:21:08
He's yours. Sit down, Frank.
:21:10
The Times has taken an
interest in your case.

:21:12
I came up to ask you some questions.
:21:14
Yes, sir.
:21:15
I'd like more of your story.
Your side of it.

:21:18
I need an angle, something
to hit the public.

:21:20
Understand?
- Yes, sir.

:21:22
Now, you knew about the ad your
mother put in the papers...

:21:26
...five thousand dollars reward?
:21:29
Did you know she was scrubbing
floors to earn that money?

:21:32
Yes, I did.
:21:35
All she lives for is to get me out.
:21:38
I guess that's all
I got to live for, too.

:21:40
That's a great angle to play up.
:21:43
Your faith in your mother
and her faith in you.

:21:47
You know, if you're guilty...
:21:49
...you're letting her slave
her life away for nothing.

:21:52
She knows I'm not guilty.
:21:56
I read the news clips...
:21:59
...and the transcript of the trial.
:22:02
They don't white-wash you,
the way I see it.

:22:04
But you read only what convicted me.
:22:07
All the true facts didn't come out.
:22:10
Judge Moulton said I was innocent.
:22:12
The Judge that gave you 99 years?
:22:13
The jury said we were
guilty, he had to.

:22:16
In his chambers, he said
he knew we were innocent.

:22:19
When was that?
:22:20
After he sentenced us.
After?

:22:23
Maybe we'd better duck
that. What else?

:22:27
My lawyer was a drunk.
:22:29
He didn't let me on the stand,
he was afraid I'd get the chair.

:22:33
Go on.
:22:36
When they question you
hour after hour...

:22:38
...you're bound to get mixed
up on a lot things...

:22:40
...the way I did.
:22:41
That's another good
angle. Railroaded.

:22:44
They took me from one police
station to another...

:22:47
...every few hours taking me
around the Horn, they call it...

:22:51
...so my lawyer couldn't get me out.
:22:55
This Wanda Skutnik...
