It's okay.
:38:49
Mr. Brigance, you may
call your first witness.

:38:52
Yes, Your Honor. The defense calls
Dr. Willard Tyrrel Bass.

:39:02
Have you seen Roark?
:39:03
Not yet.
:39:09
Would you explain to the jury...
:39:12
...the effect his daughter's rape
had on Mr. Hailey's condition?

:39:16
Tonya's rape caused a relapse...
:39:19
...a temporary break with reality.
:39:21
But yesterday, a Dr. Rodeheaver...
:39:25
...suggested that Mr. Hailey's
act of calculation was...

:39:28
...the definition of sanity.
:39:30
That's ridiculous.
:39:31
Many of the most famous
schizophrenics are calculating.

:39:36
John Hinckley, for example.
:39:38
Calculating.
:39:39
And legally insane.
:39:41
So, Dr. Bass, how would
you diagnose Mr. Hailey...

:39:44
...at the time?
:39:45
Mr. Hailey experienced a recurrence
of a dissociative condition...

:39:50
...as a result of the trauma
caused by his daughter's rape.

:39:54
Now, since Mr. Hailey was unaware
of the reality of his actions...

:39:58
...he couldn't tell right from wrong.
