1:09:01
I'll be done in a minute.
1:09:03
Have a seat.
1:09:09
I've just been looking over
your arrest report.
1:09:14
A very unusual piece of police work.
1:09:19
Really amazing.
1:09:21
I had some luck.
1:09:22
You're lucky I'm not indicting you for
assault with intent to commit murder!
1:09:30
Where does it say you've got a right
to kick down doors, torture suspects?
1:09:34
Deny medical attention and legal
counsel? Where have you been?
1:09:38
Does Escobedo ring a bell?
Miranda?
1:09:43
You must have heard
of the 4th Amendment!
1:09:47
What I'm saying is,
that man had rights.
1:09:51
I'm all broken up
about that man's rights.
1:09:54
You should be.
I've got news for you.
1:09:56
When he's well enough
to leave the hospital, he walks.
1:10:00
What are you talking about?
1:10:02
He's free!
1:10:04
You're letting him go?
1:10:05
We have to.
We can't try him.
1:10:07
And why is that?
1:10:09
Because I'm not wasting
1 /2 million tax dollars...
1:10:12
...on a trial we can't possibly win.
1:10:14
The problem is,
we don't have any evidence.
1:10:17
- What do you call that?
- I call it nothing.
1:10:20
Zero.
1:10:23
You're saying that Ballistics can't
match the bullet up to this rifle?
1:10:27
It does not matter
what Ballistics can do!
1:10:30
This rifle might make a nice souvenir.
1:10:34
- But it's inadmissible as evidence!
- Who says?
1:10:36
It's the law.
1:10:38
Then the law is crazy!
1:10:41
This is Judge Bannerman
of the appellate court.
1:10:44
He also holds classes in constitutional
law. I've asked him for an opinion.
1:10:49
Your Honor?
1:10:51
In my opinion, the search
of the suspect's quarters was illegal.
1:10:56
Evidence obtained thereby, such as
that hunting rifle for instance...
