2:14:01
...and answer to no one
while Lucas was gone, didn't you?
2:14:05
Didn't you?
2:14:06
Yes, I had the freedom, but I never did!
2:14:09
When you thought he was gonna
change that, did you kill him?
2:14:12
No! Lucas was drunk
and tried to beat me!
2:14:16
The coroner testified
that he was unconscious...
2:14:20
...from the first blow, so you were safe
from any beating, but you didn't stop.
2:14:24
- Why?
- I don't know.
2:14:26
You kept on hitting him until
you crushed the life out of him. Why?
2:14:30
I don't know. I couldn't stop!
I couldn't stop!
2:14:36
When you finally did kill him,
why didn't you call the police?
2:14:41
I wanted to. I was afraid.
2:14:44
But you hadn't committed any crime,
defending yourself.
2:14:49
What was there to fear
from the police?
2:14:52
I don't know. I was just afraid.
2:14:54
You had nothing to fear until you
hid Lucas' body, isn't that right?
2:15:00
Then you had a great deal
to fear, didn't you?
2:15:03
- That's right.
- But you buried him.
2:15:05
You must have had a reason.
A powerful reason.
2:15:08
Don't tell me it was
because you were afraid.
2:15:10
- I was!
- Are you sure?
2:15:12
- That's the only reason!
- Fear is panic...
2:15:14
...and cleverly burying a man
you just murdered...
2:15:17
...requires cold thought.
- Objection!
2:15:19
- You knew what you were doing.
- I didn't! I didn't!
2:15:22
- Prosecution is harassing the witness.
- Objection sustained.
2:15:27
I withdraw the question.
2:15:29
I have nothing further.
2:15:31
Miss Cross, at all times
during the quarrel...
2:15:34
...which led to the death
of Lucas Cross...
2:15:36
...were you in fear of bodily harm?
2:15:40
Yes, I was.
2:15:42
I have no further questions.
You may step down.
2:15:46
I wish to call Miss Allison MacKenzie
to the stand.
