1:37:00
Mr. Young, stop playing with that!
1:37:05
Now, do you or do you not wish
to continue testifying, Mr. Young?
1:37:10
lt's okay. He asked me the right question.
1:37:13
Counselor, you may proceed.
1:37:18
Mr. Young, did you and l not have
a conversation last Friday...
1:37:21
...in which you told me you wished
to change your plea to guilty?
1:37:24
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:37:27
l want to change my plea.
That's what l said.
1:37:30
l'm going to ask you the single
most important question l can ask you.
1:37:33
lt's what this whole trial's about.
1:37:35
Are you guilty of the murder
of Rufus McCain?
1:37:38
l want to change my plea to guilty.
l said that.
1:37:41
l didn't ask what you wanted to do.
l asked if you are guilty.
1:37:44
Objection!
1:37:45
He's badgering the witness.
1:37:46
-He's my witness, for Christ's sake!
-l'm not your nothing!
1:37:49
lf the accused wants to enter
a plea of guilty--
1:37:52
Silence! Mr. Stamphill,
you are skating on very thin ice here.
1:37:56
Maybe, Your Honor,
but l'd like to get to the other side.
1:38:01
Very well. You may proceed...
1:38:03
...at your own peril.
1:38:05
Thank you.
1:38:09
Let me take this one step at a time.
1:38:14
We had a conversation in which
l told you l felt...
1:38:17
...with the way the trial was going...
1:38:19
...the most you'd have to face, more than
likely, would be another ten years or less.
1:38:23
-l don't care--
-Ten years, that's what l said.
1:38:25
Yeah, yeah, but--
1:38:27
Did you say to me...
1:38:29
...you were the guy who had to do
the time, not me?
1:38:32
That they'd stick you back in Alcatraz
for those ten years, right?
1:38:35
That's what l told you.
Why are you doing this to me?
1:38:38
Because if you change your plea to guilty,
they will execute you.
1:38:41
-You will die!
-So fucking what?
1:38:44
l'd rather die than go back there!
1:38:57
What'd you say?
1:38:59
