1:20:01
there isn't much that would convince me
she isn't guilty.

1:20:05
Look. Let's save ourselves a lot of time.
1:20:08
Let's be honest.
There are better things we could be doing.

1:20:11
Who thinks Chelsea Deardon's guilty?
1:20:18
Mr. Logan.
1:20:19
Don't hold back. My hand is raised.
1:20:22
I believe my client murdered
Victor Taft in cold blood.

1:20:25
lsn't everybody convinced?
1:20:26
- Mr. Logan.
- Who agrees with me?

1:20:29
- I object!
- Mr. Logan.

1:20:30
- You're convinced, right?
- Your Honor.

1:20:32
- Your Honor!
- Prosecution says she's guilty.

1:20:35
The jury says she's guilty.
Let's save the State of New York...

1:20:39
a lot of time and money
and move directly to sentencing.

1:20:42
- What?
- Isn't she entitled to a fair trial?

1:20:45
Let's give her one and then convict her.
1:20:48
Mr. Logan!
1:20:49
You are totally out of order! You know it!
1:20:52
This jury is disqualified.
1:20:54
Let's take a recess
while I consider holding you in contempt.

1:20:57
I recognize my opening remarks
are irregular...

1:21:00
but, please, let me continue
even though the jury...

1:21:02
may consider my client guilty
at this time, I still believe in this jury...

1:21:06
and will accept their final verdict,
whatever it might be.

1:21:10
I concur, Your Honor.
1:21:12
Prosecution has equal faith
in this jury, Your Honor.

1:21:17
May I proceed?
1:21:18
Very well. You may proceed, Mr. Logan.
1:21:21
Thank you, Your Honor.
1:21:27
So we alI think she's guilty.
What do we do?

1:21:30
That's a dilemma, isn't it?
1:21:32
A problem because we've developed...
1:21:34
a legal concept in this country
to protect ourselves...

1:21:38
to protect our rights...
1:21:40
and it's called,
"presumption of innocence".

1:21:44
In simpler words that means
that one is presumed innocent...

1:21:48
until proven guilty.
1:21:50
That means that whatever
assumptions you've already made...

1:21:53
Chelsea Deardon must be seen
in your eyes...

1:21:55
believed in your minds,
understood in your hearts...

1:21:59
to be innocent.
