A police spokesman said today,
in the wake of the murders...
:15:04
Poncelet addressed the judge as "Cap"...
:15:06
...and smirked when the jury
found him guilty of murder today.
:15:10
Poncelet claims Vitello
killed both of them.
:15:14
- Y'all think he's lyin'.
- Vitello accuses Poncelet.
:15:17
Both say the other did the actual killing.
Somebody's lyin' to somebody.
:15:21
They were both there.
We know that much.
:15:23
How is it possible one guy gets life,
the other death?
:15:26
Well, the State has probably got
a stronger case against Poncelet.
:15:29
Vitello had a better lawyer. Created
a reasonable doubt in the jury's mind.
:15:34
- And Vitello gets life, Poncelet death.
- Yeah.
:15:37
Bad luck.
:15:39
He needs help, Sister.
:15:42
There's this lawyer, Hilton Barber.
He's aware of the case and told me no.
:15:46
- Maybe you can change his mind.
- With the aim of gettin' him out?
:15:51
I'm not sure I wanna run
into this guy on the street.
:15:53
There's no way he's gettin' off. He was
there. He was an accomplice. That's life!
:15:58
A life sentence in a Louisiana prison
is for real.
:16:01
You're just tryin' to stop the State
from killin' him.
:16:07
You want out? That's cool with me.
:16:10
You don't have to go back there.
:16:13
Get tough on sentencin'.
Get tough on lenient parole boards.
:16:17
Get tough on judges
who pass light sentences.
:16:20
(phone rings)
:16:23
- Hello.
- Sister Helen?
:16:25
- Who's this?
- Matt Poncelet, Sister.
:16:28
I know I'm on death row, but there's
guys been here years and years.
:16:32
I didn't know this was comin'.
They set a date.
:16:35
- What?
- They're gonna kill me on the 13th.
:16:38
I didn't know you needed a lawyer
to get a pardon board hearing.
:16:42
I'd do it myself if they'd let me,
but they say...
:16:44
OK... OK, Matthew.
:16:47
Uh... I think I know of a lawyer
that may be able to help you.
:16:51
- I'll do my best, all right?
- Sister, come through for me.
:16:54
You're all I got. They got me on
a greased rail to the death house here.
:16:58
I ain't heard from you. You ain't
fadin' out on me, are you, Sister?
