1:30:02
Bad, huh?
1:30:04
Shit.
1:30:08
You wanna go for a drink?
1:30:11
No. I have to put together
my summation.

1:30:15
What are our chances?
1:30:18
Fifty-fifty, at best.
1:30:21
Good night.
1:30:24
Good night.
1:30:29
Your Honour, my colleagues
have agreed to a single summation.

1:30:38
No objection, Your Honour.
1:30:47
Ladies and gentlemen, the state has
charged these three men with a crime.

1:30:53
The state has supported that charge
with the testimony of two witnesses.

1:30:57
Sarah Tobias,
who told you how three men raped her,

1:31:02
and how she heard other men shouting
encouragement to her attackers.

1:31:07
Did she name these other men?
1:31:10
No.
1:31:11
Did she describe these other men?
1:31:15
No.
1:31:17
Could she tell you
what these other men shouted?

1:31:21
No.
1:31:23
Her sworn testimony - her poignant,
heart-rending sworn testimony -

1:31:27
was an appeaI to your pity.
1:31:30
And if her story is true,
you should pity her.

1:31:33
But even if her story is true
and you do pity her,

1:31:36
that has nothing to do with this case,
1:31:39
because those three men
did not rape her.

1:31:43
Her sworn testimony is nothing,
and you must treat it as nothing.

1:31:51
Now, if you wish,
1:31:55
you can also treat as nothing
the testimony of her lover, Larry,

1:31:59
who told you
what kind of woman she is.
