:49:02
Rubin,
listen to me.
:49:04
This judge is telling us
as clearly as he possibly can...
:49:06
that he's going
to rule against you.
:49:09
This is our last stand,
Myron.
Rubin, I am begging you--
:49:12
Let's proceed.
:49:18
[ Whispering ]
:49:24
Your Honor,
:49:26
my client wishes to continue
with this proceeding.
:49:31
Uh, do you do so formally,
:49:33
and, uh, are you aware
of the significance...
:49:37
of such an action ?
:49:39
We do so formally.
:49:49
Proceed.
:49:50
But, Your Honor--
:49:52
Yes ?
The State is not prepared to
argue the merits of this case.
:49:56
Why not ?
:50:01
Well, we assumed...
:50:03
that the Court
would not hear this petition
based on new evidence.
:50:09
You assumed wrong.
:50:11
[ Chatter, Laughter ]
:50:14
Proceed.
:50:19
So, Your Honor,
this case was poisoned
from the start.
:50:22
No evidence.
:50:24
No witnesses,
except admitted liars.
:50:28
Only a racially charged
atmosphere,
:50:31
which was fanned by the police
and the prosecutors...
:50:35
who knew the truth
and distorted it...
:50:39
and subverted it
and destroyed it...
:50:43
to convict an innocent man.
:50:48
What more can
the State of New Jersey do,
Your Honor,
:50:50
than give a man not one,
:50:53
but two jury trials ?
:50:56
And nothing has changed
since then.
:50:59
Mr. Carteris,
and always has been,
