1:02:02
It's been stated here that...
1:02:04
dissociative reaction,
or irresistible impulse...
1:02:07
is not uncommon
among soldiers in combat.
1:02:10
- Do you agree with that statement?
- I do...
1:02:12
but not as it was put
by Dr. Smith.
1:02:14
- Where would you depart from Dr. Smith?
- Dissociative reaction...
1:02:18
is not something that comes out of
the blue and disappears as quickly.
1:02:22
It can only occur,
even among soldiers in combat...
1:02:26
if the individual has a psychoneurotic
condition of long standing.
1:02:30
It's been testified here that
a psychiatric exam of the defendant...
1:02:33
showed no evidence of neuroses...
1:02:36
and no history
of dissociative reaction.
1:02:38
You've further heard it testified...
1:02:40
that the defendant's behavior
on the night of the shooting...
1:02:42
was cool and direct.
1:02:45
As an observer,
do you remember this testimony?
1:02:48
From this, have you formed an opinion
about the defendant's sanity...
1:02:52
on the night of the shooting?
1:02:54
I'm of the opinion that he was in
possession of his faculties...
1:02:57
so that he was not dominated
by his unconscious mind.
1:03:00
In other words, he was not
in the grip of irresistible impulse.
1:03:04
- In my opinion, he was not.
- Thank you. Your witness.
1:03:06
Dr. Harcourt, psychiatry is an effort
to probe into the dark...
1:03:10
undiscovered world of the mind.
1:03:12
And in there, the world
might be round, it could be square.
1:03:15
Your opinion could be wrong, Dr. Smith's
could be right. Is that true?
1:03:19
I'd be a poor doctor
if I didn't agree with that.
1:03:22
But I believe my opinion
to be right.
1:03:25
Do you think you might've changed
your opinion...
1:03:27
if you'd examined the defendant
as Dr. Smith did?
1:03:31
- I don't believe so.
- But Dr. Smith's opinion...
1:03:33
was made under better circumstances,
wasn't it?
1:03:35
If you mean that he was able
to examine the man, yes.
1:03:38
- Yeah. Thank you, Doctor.
- That's all, Dr. Harcourt.
1:03:41
- Is there more rebuttal?
- We're over a barrel, Mitch.
1:03:45
We have to use him.
1:03:48
We call Duane Miller to the stand.
1:03:50
Will the sheriff please
bring in the witness?
1:03:59
What can he tell?
