: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...
:22:58
...the first two times she saw me,
she said I wasn't the man;...

:23:01
...then, all of a sudden,
she said I was.

:23:03
Finger woman. We'll play that up too.
:23:08
I was home with my wife when
the policeman was killed.

:23:12
Does your wife visit you regularly?
:23:14
My wife? Yes.
:23:17
We're divorced.
:23:21
Well, we'd better duck
that angle too.

:23:24
You duck many things...
:23:25
...you don't believe me.
- Listen...

:23:27
...I talked to your mother.
She's a fine old woman.

:23:30
She believes you. But I need proof.
:23:34
I got no proof.
- Yes, I know.

:23:38
What will do with
this thing is this...

:23:40
...we'll play up the mother angle
and the finger woman...

:23:43
...and maybe police and
political corruption too.

:23:46
I didn't say that.
What's the difference?

:23:48
It's a good angle.
:23:50
It's probably true anyway.
:23:52
You don't want a wishy-washy story.
:23:54
This thing has to have
sock. Mass appeal.

:23:56
It's the only way
we can help you...

:23:58
...get sympathy and public support.
