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...
1:38:00
...in favour of Frank Wiecek.
1:38:02
But the other side of it,
that isn't so sharp.
1:38:04
It doesn't cut the ground out
from under Wanda Skutnik...
1:38:07
...she is the only one responsible
for Wiecek's conviction.
1:38:11
Now, I have a police record here...
1:38:13
...that proves that Wiecek was
arrested on the 22nd of December.
1:38:18
I have another one here...
1:38:21
...that proves he wasn't booked
until the 23rd of December.
1:38:24
One day later.
1:38:25
Okay. Wanda Skutnik testified...
1:38:28
...that she didn't see him from
the time of the murder...
1:38:30
...until the time she identified him
in the police line-up.
1:38:35
Here is a photograph of Frank
Wiecek and Wanda Skutnik...
1:38:39
...together, going into
a police station.
1:38:42
Take a look at that, gentlemen.
That's new.
1:38:44
And that's the basis of
my conclusive evidence.
1:38:48
The two photostats of
the police records...
1:38:51
...merely indicate that
some time elapsed...
1:38:53
...between Wiecek's arrest and
the time he was booked.
1:38:56
As a reporter, you know well...
1:38:58
...that's a usual concurrence
at police stations.
