That's why they call it the Hall of
Justice, the scales are not balanced.

1:19:06
The scales are in the hall,
and they go up and down.

1:19:09
They might go up for you, favor one
way, they might go down against you.

1:19:14
So if the D.A. Wants you to hang
15 or 20 years, you're hung.

1:19:21
I had all these charges
still pending in Orange County.

1:19:28
I could have been certified as an adult...
1:19:31
maybe given a life sentence. I don't know.
1:19:35
I'm 16 years old. I know I don't want that.
1:19:39
That District Attorney told me,
"Don't worry about them charges."

1:19:43
"I'm gonna ask your...
Defense Attorney is gonna ask you...

1:19:47
"if you had any kind of deal...
1:19:51
"or anything of that nature...
1:19:54
"in exchange for your testimony
in this case...

1:19:57
"as relating to those charges.
1:20:02
"Don't answer that 'Yes.' Answer it 'No."'

My husband,
he didn't get that good a look at him.

1:20:15
He wasn't sure, because they put
a bunch of them that looked alike.

1:20:21
They had about three or four
in the lineup that had bushy hair...

1:20:24
but he had his combed down,
different to what it was in the killing.

1:20:29
I didn't pick him out right then...
1:20:31
because I picked out this bushy-haired man.
1:20:37
I understand one other witness
did pick out the man at the lineup.

1:20:42
I'm not sure, but I think he did.
1:20:44
Of course I picked out
Randall Adams just like that.

1:20:49
I don't know about the others.
1:20:52
Evidently they did at that time.
