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

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

1:32:02
And you can treat as nothing

1:32:06
who told you that she was so drunk,
she could barely stand.

1:32:09
And you can treat as nothing
the testimony of her friend, Sally,

1:32:13
who told you Miss Tobias's intentions
when she first saw our clients.

1:32:19
Our case does not depend
on those witnesses,

1:32:22
just as The People's case
does not depend on Sarah Tobias.

1:32:29
The People's case
depends on Kenneth Joyce.

1:32:34
If you beIieve him,
you'II convict those three men.

1:32:37
And if you don't, you'II acquit them.
1:32:43
Do you believe him?
1:32:47
Why did Kenneth Joyce testify?
1:32:50
Every day for months,
he said to himself "I'm guilty."

1:32:54
"I'm guilty."
1:32:56
Finally he was offered a way
to purge that guilt, and he took it.

1:32:59
Kenneth Joyce told you
he watched a rape
