Today we're dealing
with an unprecedented case.
:27:13
The deceased had been thrice dug up
from his grave. Three times!
:27:20
lt is an indisputable fact that
the motive was not robbery:
:27:23
the valuables buried with the deceased
had not been touched.
:27:27
What was it then?
What was the motive of the crime?
:27:31
l tried to talk to the defendant,
but she refused to speak.
:27:36
Therefore, we'll have to conduct
both a hearing and an investigation,
:27:41
and, certainly, pass the verdict,
right here.
:27:44
That's why l ask this court
to listen carefully to the defendant.
:27:52
The defendant may speak.
:28:01
Of course, all of you wonder
why l'm persecuting the deceased.
:28:07
lt is the last thing l would want,
:28:13
settling a score with a dead man.
:28:18
Vengeance doesn't bring me any joy.
:28:24
lt's my misfortune.
:28:29
My cross.
:28:33
But there's no other way for me.
:28:39
So, who is Varlam Aravidze?
:28:46
l was eight years old
when he became our mayor.
