To begin with...
1:32:10
this case should never
have come to trial.
1:32:13
The State has not produced
one iota...
1:32:16
of medical evidence...
1:32:18
that the crime Tom Robinson
is charged with...
1:32:22
ever took place.
1:32:25
It has relied, instead...
1:32:28
upon the testimony
oftwo witnesses...
1:32:31
whose evidence has not only been
called into serious question...
1:32:35
on cross-examination...
1:32:37
but has been flatly contradicted
by the defendant.
1:32:44
There is circumstantial evidence
to indicate that...
1:32:47
Mayella Ewell was beaten...
1:32:50
savagely...
1:32:52
by someone who led,
almost exclusively, with his left.
1:32:59
Tom Robinson now sits before you,
having taken the oath...
1:33:04
with the only good hand
he possesses...
1:33:07
his right.
1:33:21
I have nothing but pity
in my heart...
1:33:26
for the chiefwitness
for the State.
1:33:32
She is the victim...
1:33:34
ofcruel poverty and ignorance.
1:33:41
But my pity...
1:33:44
does not extend so far...
1:33:47
as to her putting
a man's life at stake...
1:33:52
which she has done in an effort
to get rid of her own guilt.
1:33:57
I say "guilt," gentlemen...
