:26:02
During this time,
they saw the switch knife.
:26:05
Four: they identified the death weapon
in court as that very same knife.
:26:12
Five: he arrived home
at about ten o´clock.
:26:14
This is where the stories offered
by the State and the boy diverge slightly.
:26:19
He claims that he went to a movie
at about 1 1 .30,
:26:21
returning home at 3.10 to find
his father dead and himself arrested.
:26:25
He also claims that the two detectives
threw him down a half a flight of stairs.
:26:29
What happened to the knife? He claims
it fell through a hole in his pocket
:26:33
on the way to the movies,
sometime between 1 1 .30 and 3.10,
:26:37
and that he never saw it again.
Now, there is a tale, gentlemen.
:26:40
l think it´s clear the boy
never went to the movies that night.
:26:44
No one in the house saw him go out.
No one at the theatre identified him.
:26:47
He couldn´t even remember
the names of the pictures he saw.
:26:52
What actually happened is this.
:26:54
The boy stayed home,
had another fight with his father,
:26:57
stabbed him to death and left the house
at 10 minutes after 12.
:27:01
He even wiped the knife
clean of fingerprints.
:27:04
Are you trying to tell me that this knife
fell through a hole in the boy´s pocket,
:27:08
someone picked it up,
went to the boy´s house
:27:10
and stabbed his father with it
just to test its sharpness?
:27:13
No, but it´s possibIe the boy lost his knife
:27:15
and somebody else stabbed his father
with a similar knife.
:27:18
Take a look at this knife.
:27:22
lt´s a very unusual knife.
:27:24
l´ve never seen one like it. Neither had
the storekeeper who sold it to the boy.
:27:28
Aren´t you asking us to accept
an incredible coincidence?
:27:31
- l´m just saying a coincidence is possible.
- And l say it´s not possible.
:27:41
Where did that come from?
:27:43
- lt´s the same knife!
- What do you think you´re doin´?
:27:46
- Where did you get it?
- l went out walking last night.
:27:50
Through the boy´s neighbourhood.
:27:52
l bought that at a pawn shop two blocks
from the boy´s house. lt cost six dollars.
:27:57
lt´s against the law
to buy or sell switchblade knives.
