1:08:01
Are you ready to accept that?
- Yes, I am.
1:08:04
There's just one thing, Mr. McNeal.
1:08:07
If you go before the Pardon Board
and they turn him down...
1:08:10
...it'll go on Wiecek's record.
1:08:12
Then when he's eligible
for parole...
1:08:15
...that record may hurt his chances.
1:08:18
Now mind you,
there's no regulation...
1:08:20
...there's no law...
1:08:22
...but the very fact that it
was investigated...
1:08:24
...by the Pardon Board and
turned him down...
1:08:27
...might have a prejudicial effect
upon his application.
1:08:31
What you're doing is gambling
with Wiecek's parole.
1:08:34
That's a chance we'll have to take.
1:08:36
Well, gentlemen, that's settled
then. We're agreed.
1:08:39
Thank you very much, gentlemen.
1:08:41
We'll live up to our
end of the bargain.
1:08:43
Good bye.
- Good bye, sir.
1:08:55
Well, you two seem quite
satisfied but...
1:08:57
...Mr. Burns doesn't seem to be.
1:09:00
I'm not.
1:09:04
As your attorney, I think
you've made a bad deal.
1:09:08
While I've read the transcript
of this case...
1:09:10
...and I am familiar with some of
the things Mr. McNeal found...
1:09:15
...I'm not at all certain that
we have sufficient evidence...
1:09:18
...to obtain a pardon.
1:09:19
But you haven't seen all
the evidence yet, Mr. Burns.
1:09:22
What for instance?
- On the first place...
1:09:24
...I've talked to the
bailiff of the court.
1:09:26
He corroborated Frank's statement...
1:09:28
...that the judge promised
him a new trial.
1:09:30
What basis did he have
for making that promise?
1:09:32
I don't know.
If he made it.
1:09:33
He made it. Here is an affidavit
from the bailiff.
1:09:36
That's not proof. It's inconclusive.
1:09:38
All right, forget about that.
1:09:40
I've got a lie-detector test and...
1:09:42
...Keeler's sworn statement
that the fellow is innocent.
1:09:44
Inadmissible.
1:09:46
Gruska and Decker,
the other witnesses...
1:09:49
...maintain that Wiecek
is not the man.
1:09:51
And they also testified
that Wanda Skutnik...
1:09:53
...couldn't have recognized anybody.
1:09:55
Have you found her?
What does she say?
1:09:58
Gruska and Decker contradict her...
