1:32:01
Since she was trained in the sign language
by one of the witnesses...
1:32:05
Dr. Richardson...
1:32:06
would it be permissible
for him to translate for her?
1:32:09
- Permission granted.
- Dr. Robert Richardson.
1:32:23
Would you mind facing her directly
so that she can read your lips?
1:32:30
Were you alone in the house...
1:32:32
when the McCormicks came to see you?
1:32:36
Did you understand?
1:32:42
"I was with my baby."
1:32:43
After you attacked Mrs. McCormick
and she ran out...
1:32:46
I object, My Lord.
1:32:47
The defendant has not admitted
attacking Mrs. McCormick.
1:32:51
Objection sustained.
1:32:52
I'll phrase the question differently.
1:32:54
After Mrs. McCormick left,
what did you do?
1:32:57
Isn't it true that as soon as she left
you went to get the gun?
1:33:05
"I was very much afraid."
1:33:06
So you did take the gun deliberately?
1:33:08
Objection!
1:33:09
The defendant has made
no such admission.
1:33:11
My Lord...
1:33:12
If the Prosecution will be patient,
I might be able to help.
1:33:14
Please try to understand
what it means to be as she is...
1:33:17
living in a world apart,
shut off from everyone...
1:33:19
never hearing the warmth
of a human voice.
1:33:21
Think of the loneliness and the fear.
1:33:23
These people, although tutored,
are governed almost solely by intuition.
1:33:27
Belinda's been instructed
in certain fundamentals.
1:33:29
- She knows right from wrong...
- My Lord...
1:33:31
...but something in her was stronger than
the precept, "Thou shalt not kill."
1:33:34
My Lord, I object.
1:33:36
Dr. Richardson is completely out of order.
He's not the counsel for the accused.
1:33:40
Your Lordship, I insist this girl obeyed
an impulse older than the laws of man:
1:33:43
The instinct of a mother
to protect her child.
1:33:46
Any further breach of your capacity
as interpreter...
1:33:48
I shall hold as in contempt of this court.
1:33:52
Objection sustained.
1:33:54
Now please proceed.
1:33:58
When did you get the gun?
