2:25:03
...and it's time it stopped.
2:25:05
Our best young people leave as soon
as they can earn a bus ticket.
2:25:10
They contribute their characters
to other communities...
2:25:13
...because they're stifled
in Peyton Place.
2:25:15
We're not interested...
2:25:17
Dr. Swain has come forth at considerable
risk to himself and I intend to hear him...
2:25:22
...without any interruption.
2:25:23
I will rule on your objection
when he's finished.
2:25:27
You will continue, Dr. Swain.
2:25:29
We're a small but prosperous town,
yet we allow tarpaper shacks to stand.
2:25:35
We have half a dozen churches
which most of you attend...
2:25:38
...and then don't practice the word they
preach once you walk down the steps.
2:25:43
We have a fine school
that you take for granted.
2:25:46
We have a newspaper with a most
intelligent editorial page...
2:25:49
...which you use
for wrapping garbage.
2:25:52
It's time you people woke up.
2:25:55
Perhaps today you will,
because there's something bigger...
2:25:58
...than the tragedy of Selena Cross
on trial here.
2:26:01
Our indifference, our failure as a
community to watch over one another...
2:26:05
...to know who needs help
and to give it.
2:26:08
Selena's been living in a prison
of her own long enough...
2:26:12
...one that we helped build.
2:26:15
I have nothing more to say.
2:26:21
The objection of the prosecution
is not sustained.
2:26:25
The jury may consider this statement
as evidence.
2:26:40
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
have you reached a verdict?
2:26:44
We have, Your Honor.
2:26:46
The foreman will read the verdict.
2:26:48
We find the defendant not guilty.
