2:00:04
should have their say.
2:00:06
l earnestly request the court
2:00:10
that the defendant be sent to
a hospital for another examination.
2:00:18
Your Honor!
2:00:20
l'm surprised at the superficiality
of my colleague's reasoning.
2:00:24
''Can the defendant develop
a delirious idea?''
2:00:27
he poses
an unexpected question.
2:00:31
And he answers it himself:
''She certainly can.''
2:00:36
He paints the picture of a person
possessed by delirious ideas,
2:00:41
about whom it is written clearly:
''She is not mentally ill.''
2:00:45
l hope my colleague will excuse me,
but such perfunctory judgement
2:00:48
of the fate of a long-suffering person
is a patent sacrilege.
2:00:54
The severe mental trauma,
the abnormal living conditions
2:00:59
had affected the defendant's health
2:01:01
and, as the psychiatrists say,
deformed her personality.
2:01:05
But her vengeance is not the result
of a decision nurtured for years,
2:01:12
but a temporary insanity, not
psychosis but a reaction of protest!
2:01:17
Your Honor! The members of the jury!
2:01:20
l'm not asking for your leniency,
l plead with you
2:01:24
to take into consideration all
the aforesaid
2:01:26
and, based on this, pass on the
defendant the verdict of 'not guilty'.
