1:36:00
...why we're here today.
1:36:04
What do you think, Selena?
1:36:08
l think that l owe you an apology.
1:36:12
l called you a son of a bitch.
1:36:15
You said you thought we were a lot alike.
1:36:18
And you were right.
1:36:20
We've both spent the past 18 years
prosecuting this woman.
1:36:23
We came out here...
1:36:25
...l know l did...
1:36:27
...believing she was guilty.
1:36:29
We forgot this case is
about Vera Donovan...
1:36:32
...not my father.
1:36:33
And what if it wasn't an accident?
1:36:36
Look...
1:36:39
...it's been 18 years.
1:36:43
l don't know what this has done to you...
1:36:46
...but let me tell you, it's consumed me.
1:36:49
l have lived with this every day of my life.
1:36:53
Every day.
1:36:58
But it was wrong...
1:37:00
...and l won't do it anymore.
1:37:03
And if l can say that, my God...
1:37:06
...can't you?
1:37:13
She didn't kill Vera Donovan.
1:37:14
You've been out here all weekend
looking for a smoking gun.
1:37:17
There isn't one.
1:37:18
All you've got is a 30-page description
of a suicide.
1:37:21
l'm asking you...
1:37:23
...as an honorable man...
1:37:26
...with all of your experience...
1:37:29
...all that you've seen...
1:37:31
...would we be here right now...
1:37:32
...if this was anyone other than
Dolores Claiborne?
1:37:36
This report's the truth!
1:37:58
l'd like you to know that if you go
to trial with this, you'll fail again.
