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?
1:09:03
Better than being a widow.
1:09:07
Think about it.
1:09:09
Why toss away a promising career?
1:09:15
Good day.
1:09:17
Thanks for coming.
1:09:24
Where the hell is this guy?
1:09:26
Born alcoholic.
1:09:28
But the man cannot hold his liquor.
1:09:33
Allow me to present
Dr. Willard Tyrrel Bass.
1:09:37
Expert witness for the defense.
1:09:41
This is Jake Brigance...
1:09:43
...my protégé.
1:09:55
Are you kidding me?
1:09:57
Relax.
1:09:58
When he's sober, he's terrific.
