It's a privilege to have you
in my court.

1:05:03
Thank you.
I'm sure it'll be instructive.

1:05:06
Do any of you have
any business pending...

1:05:08
before the
attorney general's office?

1:05:13
I must apologize for
my disparaging remarks...

1:05:16
about the Upper Pennisula
and its customs.

1:05:19
I've seldom seen a murder jury selected
and sworn in less than half a day.

1:05:24
You have won my heart
completely, gentlemen.

1:05:27
Mr. Dancer, you asked for the recess.
What's your problem?

1:05:30
It was a little suggestion
I wanted to make.

1:05:33
- By all means.
- Since the defense plea is insanity...

1:05:36
the prosecution has retained
a psychiatrist.

1:05:39
Under the statute, we have a right
to petition for a mental exam...

1:05:42
of the defendant
by our own doctor.

1:05:44
- Are you familiar with that statute?
- Uh-huh. Moderately.

1:05:48
I think it would only delay things
to file a formal petition...

1:05:51
so why don't we informally agree
to ask His Honor for an adjournment...

1:05:55
only a day or so, and our doctor
can visit with the defendant.

1:05:59
It would save everyone time.
Don't you think so?

1:06:01
- I'm sure it will.
- Good.

1:06:03
Suppose you just go ahead
and file that formal petition anyway.

1:06:07
Of course, you're a little late.
Maybe His Honor will overlook that.

1:06:11
Then I'd like the jury to see that you
think our insanity plea has some merit.

1:06:15
There really won't be any need
for our doctor to examine your client.

1:06:19
Naturally, I was only following
the usual procedure.

1:06:20
Naturally, I'm all for it.
1:06:22
- Do you wish to file the petition?
- Yes, Your Honor--

1:06:25
- That won't be necessary.
- That's right.

1:06:28
Skirmish over. Shall we join now
on the field of battle?

1:06:35
The body of Quill had sustained
five gunshot wounds.

1:06:39
One of the bullets had passed
through the heart.

1:06:42
Death, in my opinion,
was almost instantaneous...

1:06:46
and was directly caused
by this wound.

1:06:48
Dr. Raschid, may I have
your detailed report?

1:06:51
Certainly.
1:06:52
I ask that this report be marked
People's Exhibit One for identification.

1:06:56
So received and marked.
1:06:58
The people hand the defense
a copy of the report.
