Mr. Armstrong?
:25:04
Now, you listen to me.
:25:07
Do you think if I'd gotten physical
with Bobby Earl...

:25:10
...he wouldn't be wearing my anger
all over him at that arraignment?

:25:15
What do you think, Professor?
:25:19
I'm impressed.
:25:25
You have a nice day now.
:25:33
Harvard University. Do tell.
:25:37
I'm a graduate of Florida State.
:25:39
Bobby Earl Ferguson.
:25:42
Change of venue, denied.
:25:44
Motion to suppress a confession, denied.
:25:46
Objection to an all-white jury, overruled.
:25:48
Noted for the record.
:25:50
I said, "You'll have to plead guilty,
take a 25-year hit.

:25:53
"You'll have a life left when you come out."
:25:55
He says, "But, sir, I didn't do it."
:26:00
So he made you go to trial?
:26:05
This matching blood statement
by Dr. Doliveau...

:26:07
...why didn't you challenge it?
:26:10
Even us backwoods
Florida State Law School alumni know...

:26:13
...that an O-positive match
doesn't mean anything...

:26:16
...unless you get genetic screening
or an enzyme-base analysis.

:26:21
You just narrowed it down
to 40 million suspects.

:26:24
How did this testimony
survive cross-examination?

:26:27
Half the people in the courtroom knew
that woman well.

:26:31
She's known here as a very fine physician.
:26:35
And a doctor is a god.
:26:37
You know that.
:26:40
Pathetic.
:26:42
Jury didn't care.
:26:44
I'll tell you, worst thing in that courtroom
was Bobby Earl himself.

:26:49
He sat there, day after day,
looking guilty as hell.

:26:53
It's not a popularity contest.
:26:54
I find that a naive statement, Counselor.
:26:58
Is that what you teach your law students:
