:40:00
she sat talking
with a man in a Coupé.
:40:03
- Objection!
- Sustained.
:40:07
Along about nine o'clock,
he stumbled into my camp.
:40:11
He was wet and looked scared.
:40:14
This man was at the bus station
with this girl.
:40:19
They were quarrelling.
:40:22
She said she wouldn't leave
unless he promised.
:40:25
Had violence been done to Miss
Tripp prior to her death by drowning?
:40:31
She'd been struck by an instrument
with sufficient force to stun her.
:40:36
I told him there wasn't
nobody else on the lake.
:40:40
Then he signed Gilbert Edwards.
:40:44
Having signed a false name,
he then proceeded to make sure
:40:49
what took place would be
observed by no one?
:40:53
No one except the person
who'd be unable to testify,
:40:56
the girl he drowned?
:40:59
- The prosecution must not...
- I withdraw the question.
:41:03
The people rest.
:41:08
This boy is on trial
for the act of murder,
:41:12
not for the thought of murder.
:41:14
Between the idea and deed
there's a difference.
:41:18
If you find this boy guilty in desire
but not guilty in deed...
:41:24
...then he must walk out of this
courtroom as free as you or I.
:41:30
However, since the prosecutor lacked
evidence, he's given you prejudice.
:41:38
Lacking facts,
he's given you fantasy.
:41:41
Of all the witnesses before you,
:41:44
not one actually saw what happened.
:41:49
I will now call to the stand
an eyewitness, the only eyewitness.
:41:55
The only one who knows the truth,
the whole truth.
