:12:01
No one had to think about it twice
except you.
:12:03
l want to ask you something.
Do you believe his story?
:12:07
- l don´t know. Maybe l don´t.
- So how come you voted not guilty?
:12:11
There were eleven votes for guilty.
:12:13
lt´s not easy to raise my hand and send a
boy off to die without talking about it first.
:12:18
- Well, now, who says it´s easy?
- No one.
:12:21
What? Just because l voted fast?
l honestly think the guy is guilty.
:12:26
Couldn´t change my mind
if you talked for 100 years.
:12:28
l´m not trying to change your mind.
lt´s just that...
:12:31
This is somebody´s life.
We can´t decide in five minutes.
:12:34
- Supposing we´re wrong?
- Supposing this building fell on my head?
:12:38
- You can suppose anything.
- That´s right.
:12:41
What´s the difference how long it takes?
Supposin´ we take five minutes? So what?
:12:46
Let´s take an hour. The ball game
doesn´t start till eight o´clock.
:12:55
- Who´s got something to say?
- I´m willing to sit for an hour.
:12:59
- Great. l heard a good story last night...
- That´s not why we´re sitting here.
:13:04
All right, then you tell me.
What are we sitting here for?
:13:09
l don´t know. Maybe no reason.
:13:11
Look, this kid´s been
kicked around all of his life.
:13:15
You know, born in a slum,
mother dead since he was nine.
:13:19
He lived for a year and a half
in an orphanage
:13:21
when his father was serving
a jail term for forgery.
:13:24
That´s not a very happy beginning.
:13:26
He´s a wild, angry kid. That´s all
he´s ever been. And you know why?
:13:30
Cos he´s been hit on the head
by somebody once a day, every day.
:13:34
He´s had a pretty miserable 18 years.
l think we owe him a few words, that´s all.
:13:39
l don´t mind telling you this, mister. We
don´t owe him a thing. He got a fair trial.
:13:43
What do you think that trial cost?
He´s lucky he got it. Know what l mean?
:13:48
Look, we´re all grown-ups in here.
We heard the facts, didn´t we?
:13:52
You´re not gonna tell me we´re supposed
to believe this kid, knowing what he is.
:13:56
l´ve lived among them all my life.
:13:58
You can´t believe a word they say.
You know that. l mean, they´re born liars.
