Kelly is sending it
over the A.P. wire.

1:36:08
Have you got anything?
1:36:09
Don't have a thing.
We have to stall them.

1:36:12
Let me talk to them.
1:36:14
Come on.
1:36:17
Mr. Chairman, gentlemen...
1:36:19
...I like to ask your
permission to have...

1:36:22
...Mr. McNeal of
the Chicago Times...

1:36:24
...address the Board.
1:36:26
Granted.
- Thank you, sir.

1:36:29
Mr. Chairman, I'd like to
apologize for being late...

1:36:31
...but it was impossible for
me to get here any sooner.

1:36:35
I don't know how much
Mr. Burns has told you.

1:36:38
Strictly from a reporter's point
of view understand...

1:36:41
...I have assembled what
I feel is a very solid case.

1:36:44
And of what does this case consist?
1:36:46
Well, it consists of such debatable
items as a lie detector test.

1:36:50
No, I realize that you're
unable to accept that.

1:36:54
You want evidence.
1:36:56
Sometimes the weight
of evidence...

1:36:57
...because it's on the record...
1:36:59
...is heavy enough to
crush the truth.

1:37:01
We'll discuss the shortcomings
of ourjudicial system...

1:37:04
...some other time, Mr. McNeal.
1:37:06
Yes, sir. I'm sorry.
1:37:07
I realize that at present
time you want facts.

1:37:12
We have a notarised affidavit
from the bailiff...

1:37:15
...of Judge Moulton's court...
1:37:17
...that the Judge felt that Wiecek
didn't receive a fair trial.

1:37:21
We have those documents
before us, Mr. McNeal.

1:37:23
They could hardly be
called conclusive.

1:37:26
Yes, sir. But as you probably
know from those documents...

1:37:28
...Gruska and Decker contradicted
Wanda Skutnik's testimony.

1:37:32
And those affidavits bear them out.
1:37:34
The Board is aware of
that too, Mr. McNeal.

1:37:37
But Wanda Skutnik has not altered
her testimony, has she?

1:37:40
Wanda Skutnik lied from
beginning to end.

1:37:43
She lied about everything.
1:37:47
It's a very funny thing about
the statue of Justice up there.

1:37:51
She has a sword in her hand.
1:37:53
It's a double-edged sword...
1:37:55
...cuts both ways.
1:37:57
It keeps cutting the ground out
from under everything...
