You can tell your side of it if you want.
:14:05
Well, a man I never saw before tried
to force me to use a crew I didn't want.

:14:10
Complainant says he offered you
a business proposition.

:14:13
And instead of a simple "no thanks,"
you assaulted him with a shotgun.

:14:17
It was his gun, not mine.
:14:20
And he was trespassing.
:14:22
Lieutenant.
:14:24
Four years ago, he got one-to-five
in California for assault. First offense.

:14:28
Served nine months in Folsom.
:14:31
You use a gun that time in California, too?
:14:35
It was in a bar.
:14:37
Guy hit me with a beer bottle.
:14:39
Hey, Lieutenant.
:14:41
Lieutenant, I got 160 acres of melons
sitting out there.

:14:46
I got to get them in.
:14:47
Let me go see that they're picked...
:14:50
and I'll come back a few days later, okay?
:14:52
If this was your first offense,
how come they put you away?

:15:01
See, this guy came to trial with
a broken collarbone and a wired jaw...

:15:05
and some friends of his
who testified that I started it.

:15:09
And they said that I kicked his face in
when he was unconscious.

:15:12
Of course, you did no such thing?
:15:15
I've been tried for it already, okay?
:15:21
You married?
:15:24
I was married for four years.
My wife divorced me when I was in prison.

:15:27
If I don't get those melons in this week,
I lose the whole crop.

:15:31
Hey, Lieutenant, I only need a few days.
:15:34
That's all that's worrying you? Melons?
:15:37
I think you better get a lawyer.
:15:39
He'll go to court. Court'll set bond.
:15:42
If you pay it,
you can go pick all the melons you want.

:15:44
Sure. I pay the bail,
and I have no money left for a crew.

:15:48
And I can't pick 160 acres by myself.
:15:52
You should have thought of that earlier.
:15:54
Lock him up.
:15:56
Okay.
