it's all gotten messed up and derailed again.
1:13:08
Since his trial, I have given up
my practice of criminal law.

1:13:15
I have not had a jury trial...
1:13:17
since I heard the verdict
of this jury in this case...

1:13:20
and don't intend to.
1:13:24
I just feel like...
1:13:25
I'll let other people
handle these problems for a while.

1:13:31
Because if justice can miscarry so badly...
1:13:36
I'd rather do something else.
1:13:38
Prosecutors in Dallas have said for years...
1:13:42
"Any prosecutor can convict a guilty man.
1:13:45
"It takes a great prosecutor
to convict an innocent man."

1:13:51
To this day, I think Mr. Mulder...
1:13:54
believes that the Adams conviction
was one of his great victories...

1:13:59
probably because of some reservations
he has about Adams' guilt.

1:14:10
I got a call one morning,
a lady here in Vidor...

1:14:13
had been hit over the head
with a rolling pin...

1:14:17
and the attacker thought
she'd been knocked unconscious...

1:14:20
when, in reality, she wasn't.
1:14:22
And she recognized the attacker
to be David Harris.

1:14:27
He voluntarily came to the police station.
1:14:31
I told him,
"David, this girl knows who you are.

1:14:34
"I don't even have to tell you
I know the truth.

1:14:36
"You know I know the truth this time."
1:14:38
He said, "I was wrong.
I smoked marijuana, I was drinking.

1:14:43
"I don't know what got over me
but something just came over me."

1:14:46
But he forgot to mention one thing,
that he was only wearing underwear.

1:14:52
I felt as though
the attack was sexually oriented.

1:14:55
He never wanted to admit that...
1:14:57
and, as I recall,
he never really finally admitted it.
