: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:
:27:01
"The truth will prevail"?
:27:04
When's the last time you tried a case?
:27:07
It's been 25 years.
:27:09
Does that make you feel better?
:27:12
Hell.
:27:13
Hang dog, show dog,
I don't think it'd make any difference...
:27:16
...if Bobby Earl was
a 6'4" golden-haired Caucasian...
:27:20
...who just quarterbacked Florida State
past Miami, 62-0 in the Cotton Bowl.
:27:26
That jury won't disregard
the boy's own words.
:27:29
His confession was coerced.
:27:31
Why didn't you get an expert
to analyze his voice on tape?
:27:35
I tried, sir.
:27:36
Truly, I tried.
:27:37
I know my job, Mr. Armstrong.
:27:39
What you're not hearing is the fact...
:27:42
...that people were sick with grief
over that poor little girl.
:27:45
They wanted their revenge!
:27:48
The end.
:27:53
Mr. McNair.
:27:55
Many thanks for your time.
