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!
:53:02
That report would have
saved me 14 years.

:53:04
- You're probably right.
- You self-righteous fuck!

:53:12
I'm Virgil and I'm guiding you
through the gates of hell.

:53:16
We are now in the 9th circle,
the circle of traitors...

:53:20
traitors to country,
traitors to fellow man...

:53:23
traitors to God!
:53:25
You, sir, are charged...
:53:27
with betraying the principles
of all three!

:53:30
Can you please quote for me
the American Bar Association's...

:53:33
rules of professional conduct,
canon seven?

:53:37
"A lawyer should
represent his client..."

:53:39
"Should zealously represent his client
within the bounds of the law."

:53:43
And I find you guilty, Counselor...
:53:46
guilty of betraying your fellow man...
:53:48
guilty of betraying your country...
:53:50
guilty of abrogating your oath...
:53:52
guilty of judging me
and selling me out!

:53:55
And with the power vested in me
by the Kingdom of God...

:53:59
I sentence you
to the 9th circle of hell!
