: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.
:28:00
- That´s right. l broke the law.
- You pulled a real bright trick.
:28:03
Now supposing you tell me what it proves.
:28:05
- Maybe there are ten knives like that.
- Maybe there are!
:28:09
What does it mean? You found a knife like
it. What´s that? The discovery of the age?
:28:14
You think somebody else did the stabbing
with exactly the same kind of knife?
:28:18
- The odds are a million to one.
- lt´s possible!
:28:21
- But not very probable.
- OK, fellas. Let´s take our seats.
:28:25
There´s no point standing around
all over the place.
:28:28
lt´s interesting that he´d find a knife
exactly like the boy´s.
:28:32
- What´s interesting about it? lnteresting!
- l just thought it was interesting.
:28:36
Eleven of us still think he´s guilty.
:28:39
Right. You´re not gonna
change anybody´s mind.
:28:42
lf you wanna hang this jury, go ahead.
:28:45
The kid´ll be tried again
and found guilty, as sure as he´s born.
:28:49
You´re probably right.
:28:51
So, what are you gonna do?
We can be here all night.
:28:54
lt´s only one night. A boy may die.
:28:57
Well, why don´t we just
set up house here?
