:23:00
- Boy, l don´t care what you do.
- All right. l don´t have anything brilliant.
:23:05
l only know as much as you do.
:23:07
According to the testimony,
the boy looks guilty. Maybe he is.
:23:11
l sat there in court for six days
listening while the evidence built up.
:23:15
Everybody sounded so positive.
:23:17
l began to get a peculiar feeling about
this trial. l mean, nothing is that positive.
:23:22
There are questions l´d have liked to ask.
Maybe they wouldn´t mean anything but...
:23:26
l felt that the defence wasn´t conducting
a thorough enough cross-examination.
:23:31
He let too many things go by - little things.
:23:34
What little things?
When they don´t ask questions,
:23:37
it´s because they know
the answers already.
:23:40
lt´s also possible for a lawyer to be just
plain stupid, isn´t it? l mean, it´s possible.
:23:44
You sound like you met
my brother-in-law once.
:23:49
l kept putting myself in the kid´s place.
l´d have asked for another lawyer, l think.
:23:55
l mean, if l was on trial for my life,
:23:58
l´d want my lawyer to tear the prosecution
witnesses to shreds, or at least try to.
:24:03
Look, there was one alleged
eyewitness to this killing.
:24:07
Someone else claims he heard the killing,
saw the boy run out after,
:24:10
and there was circumstantial evidence.
:24:13
But those two witnesses
were the entire case for the prosecution.
:24:16
Supposing they´re wrong?
:24:18
What do you mean? What´s the point
of having witnesses at all?
:24:21
- Could they be wrong?
- Those people were under oath.
:24:26
They´re only people. People
make mistakes. Could they be wrong?
:24:29
- Well, no. l don´t think so.
- Do you know so?
:24:32
Nobody can know a thing like that.
This isn´t an exact science.
:24:36
That´s right, it isn´t.
:24:42
OK, let´s get to the point.
:24:45
What about the switch knife
they found in the old man´s chest?
:24:48
Some people haven´t talked yet.
Shouldn´t we go in order?
:24:51
They´ll get a chance to talk.
Be quiet a second, will ya?
:24:54
What about the knife this fine, upright boy
admitted buying the night of the killing?
:24:59
- Let´s talk about it.
- All right. Let´s get it in here and look at it.
