:44:00
The people call Samuel J. Bowden!
:44:07
Do you swear to tell the truth
and nothing but the truth?
:44:10
-Somebody's got to man the boat.
-Did you swear?
:44:13
-I'll do it.
-Sit, Danielle.
:44:14
Don't make light of your civic duty.
You're the jury.
:44:18
All right, I swear to tell the truth.
What do you want to know?
:44:21
Was a prior sexual history ever prepared
in connection with my defense?
:44:29
It's...
:44:31
I'm sorry, Your Honor.
That was argumentative.
:44:34
An investigator did prepare a prior
sexual history on the alleged victim...
:44:37
...true?
:44:39
I can ask leading questions, Your Honor.
He is a hostile witness.
:44:42
Would you care to tell the court
what the gist was of this report?
:44:46
It was fourteen years ago.
I can't remember that.
:44:49
How can he answer
when you're hitting him?
:44:52
Because he's perjuring himself.
He knows damn well what it said.
:44:55
-Don't you?
-It said that she was promiscuous.
:44:58
It said she had three different lovers
in one month.
:45:01
At least three! And did you show
this report to the D.A.?
:45:08
I found it when I started representing
myself six years into my sentence!
:45:13
But there it was in the court file.
:45:14
Back in '77, you buried it, Counselor.
:45:17
Would you care to tell the jury why?
:45:21
Would you care to tell the court why?
:45:25
Because I know he brutally raped her
and he beat her.
:45:28
Talk to me! I'm standing here!
:45:30
Just because she was promiscuous
doesn't justify you raping her!
:45:33
You bragged that you beat two prior
aggravated rapes. You were a menace!
:45:37
You were my lawyer!
:45:40
That report could have saved me
fourteen years.
:45:42
-You're probably right.
-You self-righteous fuck!
:45:50
I'm Virgil and I'm guiding you
through the gates of Hell.
:45:53
We are now in the 9th circle,
the circle of traitors.
:45:56
Traitors to country,
traitors to fellow man...
