1:11:00
Where'd you get this, Mac?
1:11:01
I got it from the files of
the old Herald Examiner.
1:11:04
I figured they'd go for
a picture like that.
1:11:07
When was this taken?
1:11:09
Obviously on the 22nd.
1:11:11
Look here, McNeal...
1:11:12
...you can't just say that
obviously was taken then.
1:11:15
You have to prove it.
- I have the photo.
1:11:17
When you go before
the Pardon Board...
1:11:19
...the burden of proof is with you.
- The picture...
1:11:22
After all, it could very
well have been taken...
1:11:24
...after she identified him.
1:11:28
McNeal, you've done a wonderful job
on assembling this evidence.
1:11:33
But the law of the State of Illinois
requires only one eye witness...
1:11:37
...for an identification
and conviction.
1:11:40
So far, that witness has not
altered their statement...
1:11:43
...and that fact still stand.
1:11:45
Mr. Palmer, in view of this,
I'm afraid I must recommend...
1:11:48
...that you permit me
to get in touch...
1:11:50
...with those gentlemen
and ask for more time...
1:11:53
...or until I have had an
opportunity to go over the case.
1:11:56
Then your advice is to call
the whole thing off?
1:11:58
That's right.
1:11:59
Mr. Palmer, I realize Mr. Burns
knows more about the law...
1:12:02
...than I do.
1:12:03
I want to tell you some things
about this case you don't know.
1:12:06
I went into this thing believing
nothing. I was sceptical.
1:12:09
I figured Wiecek is using
his mother to spring him.
1:12:12
But I've changed my mind.
1:12:15
This man is innocent, Mr. Palmer.
I know that without any doubt.
1:12:19
It's true I haven't found
Wanda Skutnik.
1:12:21
I want a chance to find her.
1:12:23
I want a chance to get
this guy out ofjail.
1:12:25
If you call off this hearing,
I'll never get that chance again.
1:12:29
The bargain stands.
1:12:31
Thank you, sir.
1:12:35
Just a minute, McNeal.
1:12:38
Let me give you one last
piece of advice.
1:12:40
If you find this Wanda Skutnik...
1:12:42
...I don't believe she will
change her testimony.
1:12:45
There's only one thing
for you to do...
1:12:47
...discredit her, prove she's a liar.
1:12:49
Otherwise you're wasting your time.
