First, Brigance will file
for a change of venue.

:26:03
He'd be a fool not to.
:26:04
Why's that?
:26:06
Why?
:26:07
Should we tell our young,
uninformed law clerk...

:26:10
...the reality of jurisprudence?
:26:12
Evelyn, get me the state
file on race statistics!

:26:16
See, it's quite simple.
:26:18
This county's 26-30/
black, give or take.

:26:21
Almost every other county is
40-45, in some cases 70/ black.

:26:26
Blacks are more sympathetic to blacks.
:26:28
If he gets it moved, he has a greater
chance of color in the jury box.

:26:33
But if the trial stays here,
it's an all white jury for sure.

:26:36
This is for you...
:26:38
...to integrate your brain
with before tomorrow.

:26:42
He means without blacks on the jury,
Hailey hasn't got a chance.

:26:45
Noose is up for re-elect?
:26:47
Yeah, November.
:26:49
Reach out to our legislature friends.
:26:51
Have them call Noose. We'll help
him decide to keep the trial here.

:26:55
Also, send a case of whatever
he drinks to Lucien Wilbanks.

:26:59
Dewars.
:27:00
Keep that old drunk on the sidelines.
:27:02
Get me Sam.
:27:04
And, gentlemen...
:27:07
...no mistakes.
:27:08
This is what we've waited for.
:27:11
Justifiable homicide'll never hold up.
:27:14
My only chance is to find a shrink...
:27:16
...to say Carl Lee was
insane at the time.

:27:19
Now I might know a man
who owes me a favor.

:27:24
You file for a change of venue?
:27:26
Of course.
:27:29
If Judge Noose denies it...
:27:32
...then you'll get an all
white jury and you'll lose.

:27:35
Thanks.
:27:37
Bear in mind that Mr. Hailey is guilty
as sin under our legal system.

:27:42
It does not permit vigilante violence...
:27:45
...and he took the law
into his own hands.

:27:48
He murdered two people.
:27:51
Two people who raped his
10-year-old daughter.

:27:58
You know...
