:42:00
Henri Young did not act alone.
They haven't caught all the killers.

:42:03
There was a co-conspirator. Because of
this co-conspirator, whom we shall name...

:42:08
...Henri Young is innocent
of the crime of murder.

:42:11
What?
:42:12
Objection, Your Honor! l must protest!
:42:14
l figured you would.
:42:16
This is absurd.
:42:17
Before the counselor is allowed to waste
this court's time and this jury's time...

:42:21
...l'd request that he supply some proof
or evidence of this co-conspirator.

:42:26
Can you bring forward evidence
of the existence of a co-conspirator?

:42:30
Not at this time, but it is my intention
to do so during the course of the trial.

:42:34
He's not going to provide such proof
because no proof exists.

:42:37
This man spent three years
in solitary confinement...

:42:40
...during which time no one had
any influence over him...

:42:43
...because no one had
any contact with him.

:42:46
He came out of solitary.
He went directly to a shower.

:42:49
Then he went directly to a haircut.
Then he went directly to the dining hall...

:42:53
...where one convict had said
one sentence to him.

:42:56
This does not a co-conspirator make.
:42:58
l'm inclined to agree with the prosecution.
:43:02
Unless you can justify
that line of defense...

:43:04
...l will sustain the prosecution's objection.
:43:07
The district attorney, with his own words,
has just made my case for me.

:43:10
That'll be the day.
:43:12
Your Honor...
:43:14
...for three years,
three long, tortuous years...

:43:17
...no one and nothing had any influence
whatsoever over Henri Young.

:43:21
No one and nothing.
:43:23
This was a man whose only crime was
to steal $5 from a local post office...

:43:26
...to feed his starving sister.
:43:28
He came to Alcatraz a petty criminal
who had never harmed...

:43:32
...or attempted to harm
another human being in his life.

:43:34
He came out of the dungeon a vicious,
barbaric, maniacal murderer.

:43:38
A man who had been put
into a psychological coma.

:43:40
Within an hour of coming out
of that hell hole...

:43:43
...he did what would've been unthinkable
to him three years before.

:43:46
Unthinkable!
:43:47
His only thought was murder!
His only instinct was murder.

:43:50
His first act was murder!
:43:52
He himself was a murder weapon,
but the hand that held that weapon...

:43:56
...and plunged it into the throat of McCain
belonged to someone else.

:43:59
l point to Associate Warden, Mr. Glenn...
