: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,
:51:01
a menace to society.
:51:03
He's been in and out
of jail his whole life.
:51:06
A criminal.
He's a violent man.
:51:08
His whole life
has been violence.
:51:11
And it is our duty,
Your Honor,
:51:13
to continue to protect
the general public
from such a man.
:51:18
Thank you.
:51:27
I've heard
your statements.
:51:30
I'll take them
under consideration.
:51:32
Now, is there anything else
that counsel wishes to add...
:51:37
before l make
my final ruling ?
:51:40
What are you doing ?
I wanna say something.
:51:42
What are you
gonna say ?
I wanna--
I need to say something.
:51:46
Your Honor,
my-- my client,
:51:48
Mr. Carter,
wishes to address the Court.
:51:53
Request granted.
:51:55
Thank you,
Your Honor.
