Your Honor...
1:33:10
...the police have not been able
to locate the glass.

1:33:13
All right.
1:33:14
Mr. Stern, I have studied your arguments.
1:33:17
You are about to hear the testimony
of a fingerprint expert...

1:33:21
...concerning evidence that he claims
to have identified on a certain glass.

1:33:26
I am instructing you as a matter of law
that you are entitled to consider...

1:33:31
...the prosecution's failure to make
the glass available to the defense.

1:33:35
I am not telling you what to do.
1:33:38
But it is permissible
for that one fact alone...

1:33:40
...to raise a reasonable doubt
that would require Mr. Sabich's acquittal.

1:33:46
Mr. Stern's objection is overruled.
1:33:49
His exception is noted for the record.
Proceed.

1:33:52
I'm sorry.
1:33:54
He's right, under the law.
1:33:57
Based on the lateral slash
on the anterior portion of the fingerprint...

1:34:01
...the distinctive center whorl...
1:34:03
...and the exact match on the top swirl...
1:34:07
...l am certain the fingerprint on the glass
from Polhemus's apartment...

1:34:12
...is identical to that contained in
the employment file of Rozat K. Sabich.

1:34:17
Very good.
1:34:19
We are calling Dr. Kumagai,
the county coroner.

1:34:23
There are three depression fractures...
1:34:25
...like from a heavy, blunt instrument.
Maybe a hammer.

1:34:29
Here...here...and here.
1:34:33
This, and this over here, are...
1:34:34
...sharp, deep penetrations
of the skull and of the brain...

1:34:38
...like with a hatchet, or maybe
a meat cleaver.

1:34:42
I call to your attention the results
of the forensic chemist's analysis...

1:34:46
...State's exhibit 63.
1:34:52
I think we might just nail this sucker.
1:34:54
That report states the specimen of semen
taken from Ms. Polhemus's body...

1:34:59
...has been identified as being
of Mr. Sabich's blood type.
