Good afternoon. Come in.
1:07:15
Good afternoon.
1:07:16
You may come this way.
The judge is upstairs.
1:07:19
Thank you, sir.
1:07:29
Judge Noose.
1:07:32
Thanks for coming.
1:07:35
Heard you had trouble last night.
1:07:38
Makes you wonder about the
sensibleness of taking this case.
1:07:42
This is a beautiful place you have here.
1:07:45
I'll get to the point.
1:07:47
I've thoroughly reviewed
your brief request and...
1:07:51
...a change of venue.
1:07:53
And I agree with you. It's impossible
to find an impartial jury in Canton.
1:07:58
I think it's impossible to find an
impartial jury anywhere in Mississippi.
1:08:03
As such...
1:08:05
...a jury here would be...
1:08:07
...as fair as a jury anywhere else.
1:08:10
So I decided to deny your
request for a change of venue.
1:08:16
I guess that...
1:08:18
...gives me something to appeal.
1:08:20
Actually, no.
1:08:23
I spoke to Judge Dent...
1:08:25
...and he believes that the Supreme
Court would uphold my ruling.
1:08:31
You certainly covered your bases.
1:08:36
You're a good lawyer.
1:08:39
You're bright and ambitious.
Talented.
1:08:42
You could be someone.
1:08:43
You sure you want to be known as
the man that defended that murderer?
1:08:47
Could be very unpopular.
1:08:51
Talk to your client.
1:08:53
He pleads guilty...
1:08:55
...Buckley'll accept manslaughter.
He'll be out in 20.
1:08:59
And how's his wife supposed
to raise his family alone?
