:45:03
I move that, in view of her health
the court refrain from calling on her...
:45:07
...in order to spare her additional strain...
:45:09
...and the embarrassment
of public testimony.
:45:12
May it please the court,
I should only have wished the accused...
:45:15
...would have shown the same concern
for the prosecutrix...
:45:18
...as the Major himself now displays.
:45:20
Counsel for the defense
is surely not unaware...
:45:23
...that the death penalty
can only be given in this case...
:45:26
...if the prosecutrix is available
for testimony in person.
:45:29
I therefore move that
the motion be denied.
:45:32
Motion denied.
:45:34
Trial counsel may proceed.
:45:36
Sgt. Snyder.
:45:38
-How do you plead? Guilty or not guilty?
-Not guilty, sir.
:45:42
Cpl. Scott.
:45:45
Not guilty, sir.
:45:47
Priv. Haines.
:45:48
Not guilty, sir.
:45:50
Cpl. Larkin.
:45:57
Please answer the question.
Guilty or not guilty?
:46:00
Sir, I know how I'm supposed to plead...
:46:03
...but I also know what I did.
:46:05
If I'm to be honest, I have to plead guilty,
because I am guilty. I did--
:46:09
Disregard that.
:46:10
By law, he can plead not guilty and place
the burden of proof on the prosecution.
:46:14
-But, sir I did--
-Therefore....
:46:17
If it pleases the court, Cpl. Larkin
changes his plea to not guilty.
:46:21
Proceed, Col. Pakenham.
