ln 1976,
the State of New Jersey's...
:47:08
chief investigator of this case,
Dominick Barbieri, resigned...
:47:12
because he discovered
the truth.
:47:14
He discovered that
this case was built...
:47:17
on a foundation
of forgeries and lies.
:47:20
Those lies show the guilt
not of Rubin Carter,
:47:24
but of a corrupt police force
and the prosecutor's office.
:47:28
[ Spectators Murmuring ]
:47:33
And now, this wall of lies
has been destroyed,
:47:38
so that this court
may finally see the truth,
:47:41
and, pray God,
not turn its eyes away.
:47:44
This court
is not unmoved by your...
:47:48
eloquence and passion,
:47:52
but the prosecution
is correct.
:47:55
This petition contains
new evidence...
:47:57
that has not been presented
before the State Court
of New Jersey,
:48:02
and there is no legal argument
that you could make...
:48:06
which would allow me
to consider it.
:48:09
Therefore, you have
two choices before you..
:48:13
I can send this case
back to the state court...
:48:16
and you can present
the evidence;
:48:19
or...
:48:22
if you insist on proceeding,
:48:26
this evidence
will be lost to you forever.
:48:30
[ Spectators Murmuring ]
:48:34
You understandthe choice
before you, Mr. Beldock ?
:48:46
Your Honor,
may I request a moment
to confer with my client ?
:48:50
That's the smartest thing
you've said all morning,
Counselor.
