:40:00
Remember?
:40:01
You told me.
:40:06
"l promise...
:40:07
"...l'll be a good boy.
:40:09
"l'll be a good boy."
:40:11
Did somebody answer?
:40:15
Mommy.
:40:17
Mommy said I was a bad boy
and I deserved to die.
:40:20
And then what did Mommy do?
:40:23
She made it tighter and tighter.
:40:25
On your head?
:40:27
She hurt my head.
My mommy hurt my head.
:40:31
No further questions, Your Honor.
:40:34
The doctors have told us...
:40:36
...that the wounds...
:40:37
...that Wendell suffered
could not have come from a fall...
:40:41
...as the defense would have you believe.
:40:44
The police told us they found a vise
at the home of the defendant.
:40:49
Medical experts have testified...
:40:51
...that the size and the shape
of the jaws of that vise...
:40:54
...exactly match the size and the shape
of the wounds to the little boy's head.
:40:59
And this evidence is clear...
:41:02
...and uncontested.
:41:06
But the most compelling evidence
in this trial...
:41:08
...comes not from doctors,
or police officers...
:41:11
...or other expert witnesses.
:41:14
The most damning testimony...
:41:16
...comes from an abused
and frightened child...
:41:19
...who overcame his fear and his pain...
:41:23
...to tell you, in his own words...
:41:26
...what really happened.
:41:29
If you're to remember nothing else
as you begin your deliberations...
:41:33
...remember Wendell's words:
:41:36
"My mommy hurt my head."
:41:39
"My mommy hurt my head."
:41:46
"My mommy hurt my head."
