:58:01
Yes, it has been known
as irresistible impulse.
:58:04
Now, Doctor, a man in the grip
of irresistible impulse...
:58:08
would he be likely to go
to his neighbor for advice...
:58:10
or call up the police
to come to his aid?
:58:13
- Completely incompatible.
- Yes, but our man...
:58:16
was able to think of going
and taking out a gun...
:58:18
and loading it before setting out
to find Quill.
:58:21
That's his conscious mind working, but
he'd go even if a gun wasn't available.
:58:25
How would a man look
in the grip of dissociative reaction?
:58:28
He might appear to be deadly calm,
fiercely deliberate.
:58:32
Mm-hmm.
Would you describe his behavior...
:58:35
as being like a mailman
delivering the mail?
:58:38
That's not bad. Like a mailman, he would
have a job to do, and he would do it.
:58:43
- Your witness.
- Doctor...
:58:46
did you find any psychosis
in Frederick Manion?
:58:48
- I did not.
- Any neuroses?
:58:50
I found no history of neuroses.
:58:52
Any history of delusion?
:58:55
- None.
- Loss of memory?
:58:57
- Not before this instance.
- Did you find any history--
:59:00
- Can you spot Mary Pilant?
- She didn't come back after lunch.
:59:04
I think you'd better give up
on that one.
:59:07
Doctor, you stated that the defendant
might or might not...
:59:10
have been able to distinguish...
:59:12
the difference between right and wrong,
but it wouldn't have made a difference.
:59:15
- Am I right? Is that what you said?
- Approximately, yes.
:59:17
Did you mean that at the time
of the shooting...
:59:19
he could have known the difference
between right and wrong?
:59:21
He might have, yes.
:59:22
Dr. Smith...
:59:24
if the defendant could have known
what he was doing...
:59:27
and could have known it was wrong,
how can you come here...
:59:30
and testify that he was legally insane?
:59:32
I'm not saying
he was legally insane.
:59:34
I'm saying that
in his mental condition...
:59:36
it would not have made any difference
whether he knew right from wrong.
:59:39
He would still have shot Quill.
:59:43
Are you willing to rest your testimony
in this case on this opinion?
:59:47
Yes, I am.
:59:50
Your Honor, I'd like to ask
for a short recess.
:59:53
The attorneys for the people would like
to meet with Mr. Biegler in chambers.
:59:58
- Glad to oblige, Your Honor.
- Short recess.
