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.
1:22:02
So what is the truth?
1:22:08
Maybe the truth begins 18 years ago...
1:22:12
when dozens of paintings...
1:22:13
works of art by the defendant's father,
Sebastian Deardon...
1:22:16
supposedly perished in a fire,
which also tragically took his life.
1:22:20
Now, the insurance paid on those paintings
totaled $2.5 million.
1:22:24
That's a staggering sum...
1:22:26
but only a fraction
of what they'd be worth today.
1:22:36
We believe...
1:22:38
that those paintings still exist...
1:22:40
and are today worth
more than $20 million.
1:22:49
Victor Taft was not murdered
as an act of revenge by the defendant.
1:22:53
Victor Taft was murdered
to protect someone...
1:22:56
someone who himself, 18 years ago...
1:22:59
was a co-conspirator
to arson, fraud, and murder.
