The People call Samuel G. Bowden!
:51:20
Do you swear to tell the truth and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?
:51:24
- Somebody's got to man the boat.
- Did you swear?
:51:27
- I'll do it.
- Sit, Danielle.
:51:29
Don't make light of your civic duty,
darlin'. You're the jury.
:51:33
Okay, all right. I swear to tell
the truth. What do you want to know?
:51:37
Was a prior sexual history ever prepared
in connection with my defense?
:51:45
It's...
:51:47
I'm sorry, Your Honor.
I agree. That was argumentative.
:51:50
An investigator did prepare a prior
sexual history on the alleged victim...
:51:54
true?
:51:55
I can ask leading questions, Your Honor.
He is a hostile witness.
:51:59
Would you care to tell the court
what the gist was of this report?
:52:03
It was 14 years ago.
I can't remember that.
:52:06
How can he answer
when you're hitting him like that?
:52:09
'Cause he's perjuring himself.
He knows damn well what it said.
:52:13
- Don't you?
- It said that she was promiscuous.
:52:16
It said she had
three different lovers in one month.
:52:20
At least three! And did you show
this report to the D.A.?
:52:28
I found it when I started representing
myself six years into my sentence!
:52:32
But there it was
in the court file.
:52:34
Back in '77
you buried it, Counselor.
:52:37
Would you care to tell the jury why?
:52:41
Would you care to tell the court why?
:52:46
Because I know he brutally raped her
and he beat her.
:52:49
Talk to me!
I'm standing here!
:52:51
Just because she was promiscuous
didn't give you the right to rape her!
:52:55
You bragged that you beat two prior
aggravated rapes. You were a menace!
:52:58
You were my lawyer!
