The prosecution will proceed
with its opening statement.
:29:11
Your Honor, ladies and
gentlemen of the jury,
:29:15
Mr. Darrell Evans Hughes,
:29:17
who, incidentally, I consider
not only a close friend,
:29:20
but as our country's foremost
fighter for justice...
:29:23
and human rights.
:29:26
Mr. Hughes, in one of his many
television pretrial appearances,
:29:30
has suggested
that as Attorney General,
:29:33
it should be I who should be seated at
the defense table next to Mr. Peacock,
:29:38
protecting his rights of free
and untrammeled expression.
:29:42
But I have another duty...
:29:44
a higher duty to perform.
:29:47
And that is to protect you,
:29:49
your children, the very
morality of our nation,
:29:54
from the smut
and moral corruption...
:29:57
spewed forth like garbage...
:29:59
from the lecherous, vile,
lewd and licentious mind...
:30:03
of this filthy,
little degenerate!
:30:06
Look at his face.
It is the face of a smut monger.
:30:11
Look at his body:
thin, wasted away...
:30:14
by the dissipation
and debauchery...
:30:17
of a life of unspeakable
orgies and depravity.!
:30:21
What's the matter,
Dirty Abner?
:30:24
Trying to hide
from the truth?
:30:26
That's not the truth!
That's...
:30:29
Quiet. The defendant
is ably represented by counsel.
:30:33
There will be ample time
for rebuttal.
:30:35
I'm sorry. Ah, you see?
He says he's innocent.
:30:39
And he does look innocent...
:30:42
until you look into his eyes.
:30:44
They're the eyes
of a man obsessed by sex,:
:30:48
eyes that mock
our sacred institutions,:
:30:50
"bedroom eyes,"they called them
in a bygone day.
:30:54
They're the eyes of a man
whose lust knows no bounds,
:30:59
who lives but
for corrupting others...
