1:06:00
Pardon. Maybe you don´t fully understand
the term ´´reasonable doubt´´.
1:06:05
What do you mean, l don´t understand?
1:06:08
How do you like this guy?
l´m tellin´ you, they´re all alike.
1:06:12
They come over here
and before they can take a breath,
1:06:14
they´re telling us how to run the show.
1:06:17
- Boy, the arrogance of this guy!
- All right.
1:06:20
Let´s stop the arguing
for about two minutes in here.
1:06:23
Now, who´s got
something constructive to say?
1:06:26
l´d like to go over something,
if you gentlemen don´t mind.
1:06:29
An important point
for the prosecution was
1:06:32
the fact that after the boy claimed he was
at the movies when the killing took place,
1:06:36
he couldn´t remember the names
of the movies or who starred in them.
1:06:40
- This gentleman has made that point.
- That´s correct.
1:06:44
lt´s the only alibi the boy offered, and
he couldn´t back it up with any details.
1:06:49
ln the boy´s place,
do you think you could remember details
1:06:52
after an upsetting experience
such as being slapped by your father?
1:06:55
l think so, if there were
any special details to remember.
1:06:58
The boy couldn´t remember the movies
because he wasn´t there.
1:07:02
According to the police testimony,
the boy was questioned in the kitchen,
1:07:07
while the body of his father
was lying in the bedroom.
1:07:09
Do you think
you could remember details?
1:07:12
- l do.
- Under great emotional stress?
1:07:14
- Under great emotional stress.
- He remembered them correctly in court.
1:07:18
Yes. His lawyer took great pains
to bring that out.
1:07:22
He had three months to the day of the trial
in which to memorise them.
1:07:26
lt´s not difficult for a lawyer to find out
what played on a particular night.
1:07:30
l´ll take the testimony
from right after the murder,
1:07:34
when he couldn´t remember a thing about
the movies, great emotional stress or not.
1:07:38
- l´d like to ask you a personal question.
- Go ahead.
1:07:41
- Where were you last night?
- l was home all night.
1:07:45
- How about the night before that?
- What is this?
1:07:47
lt´s all right. l left the office at 8.30
and went straight home and to bed.
1:07:51
- And the night before that?
- That was... Tuesday night.
1:07:55
- The bridge tournament. l played bridge.
- Monday night?
1:07:58
When you get to
New Year´s Eve 1954, let me know.
