A woman called me at my home...
:53:05
and said that she knew this woman...
:53:07
who had testified and identified
Randall Adams from a passing vehicle.

:53:10
This woman had never told the truth
in her life.

:53:17
She also told me that she had tried
to call the D.A. During the trial...

:53:21
and give this evidence
that this woman was not believable.

:53:24
If their case hinged on this testimony,
this was not believable testimony.

:53:28
They were scum. They were just...
:53:34
actually scum.
:53:35
He was a black man
and she was a white woman.

:53:38
He came to work the day after.
:53:41
He told me about the policeman
that had gotten shot the night before.

:53:45
And I hadn't heard anything about it.
:53:48
And I thought
it was another one of these stories.

:53:51
And he brings in these newspapers...
:53:54
and he says he didn't see a thing.
He couldn't see nothing, it was dark.

:53:59
Wheels started rolling
in his head about money.

:54:05
That's when he got the idea.
:54:08
Let me put it in his words.
:54:10
For enough money, he would testify...
:54:13
to what they wanted him to say.
:54:15
He would say anything
they wanted him to say.

:54:18
Or he would see anything
that they wanted him to see.

:54:23
Those were his words.
:54:27
I was shocked that he did go ahead...
:54:31
and get up and tell
that he saw the actual shooting...

:54:35
and recognized the boy. Identified him.
:54:39
That's when I called Dennis White.
I told him, "That man's lying."

:54:45
Nobody has that good of an eyesight.
:54:53
From where the policeman was shot
and from where they were at...

:54:58
I doubt if you could have
even seen them with binoculars.
