: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.
:40:00
Nor could he understand the
consequences of his actions.

:40:04
He was, therefore, legally insane.
:40:09
Couldn't tell right from wrong,
or understand the consequences.

:40:14
Therefore, legally...
:40:16
...insane.
:40:17
Thank you, Dr. Bass.
:40:19
I have no further questions.
:40:28
Your witness.
:40:31
I'm sorry, excuse me.
:40:35
Good morning.
:40:36
Good morning.
:40:37
Dr. Bass...
:40:38
...could you please state for
the record your full name?

:40:42
Willard Tyrrel Bass.
:40:45
Tyrrel Bass. That's a very unique name.
:40:48
Now...
:40:50
...Doctor...
:40:51
...ever been convicted of a felony?
:40:54
Of course not.
:40:55
You're sure?
:40:57
As certain of that as you are of
the testimony you've just given?
