:37:05
I tried to introduce the crime spree theory.
:37:08
The theory that David Harris
was on this series of crimes...
:37:11
both before and after
the killing of the policeman.
:37:14
That he would be the person who had...
:37:17
the heart filled with malice
most apt to commit a murder.
:37:21
But the judge would not allow me
to introduce any of those crimes.
:37:25
They'd had a 28-year-old man.
:37:28
The only alternative
would be prosecuting a 16-year-old...
:37:31
that could not be given
the death penalty under Texas law...
:37:35
where our 28-year-old man could.
:37:39
That's always been the predominant
motive, in my opinion...
:37:42
for having a death penalty case
against Randall Adams.
:37:45
Not that they had him so dead to rights.
:37:48
But just that he was a convenient age.
:37:55
The judge is supposed to have said...
:37:57
That Don Metcalfe
is supposed to have said...
:38:01
to Jeanette White, Dennis White's wife...
:38:04
"What do you care? He's only a drifter."
:38:11
I grew up in a family...
:38:12
where I was taught a great respect
for law enforcement.
:38:16
I became acutely aware of the dangers...
:38:19
that police officers go through,
law enforcement officials go through...
:38:23
that I think much of the public
is not really sensitive to.
:38:29
My father was an FBI man.
:38:30
Probably at the worst possible time
to be in the FBI.
:38:33
It was from 1932 to 1935 in Chicago.
:38:38
He was at the Biograph Theater
the night that Dillinger was killed.
:38:45
It was a hot summer evening.
Little air conditioning in Chicago...
:38:49
and people were out for a walk.
