...you can't ask the jury to ignore it.
:17:02
You can't let a skunk go in the box
and then say they didn't smell it.

:17:06
Our intention with Mr. Tucker is to show
the victim was afraid of the defendant.

:17:11
To do that, he has to describe
the nature of the relationship.

:17:15
Your intention
is to paint Jim Williams pink...

:17:18
...then rely on some prejudice
in the jury.

:17:21
Besides which, whatever he says
will be secondhand.

:17:24
It would be hearsay.
:17:27
He asked the witness
if he knew of his own knowledge.

:17:30
If he knows, it's not hearsay.
:17:33
I'll allow it...
:17:34
...but I'll grant you the same latitude
when it's your turn.

:17:37
Objection's overruled.
:17:47
Mr. Tucker, the question was,
"Do you, of your own knowledge...

:17:51
...know anything of the relationship
between Hanson and the defendant?"

:17:56
Yes, sir.
:17:58
Jim would give Billy money
when he needed it.

:18:01
He bought him a car and clothes
for going to bed with him.

:18:06
To sleep with him?
To...

:18:09
...have sex with him?
:18:11
Yes, sir.
:18:16
Now, did Billy and Jim Williams...
:18:19
...have any disagreements...
:18:20
...if you know?
:18:22
All the time.
:18:24
Jim would be pissed off at Billy...
:18:27
...for one thing or another.
:18:30
He was real jealous of Billy.
:18:33
And what feelings, if any...
:18:36
...did Billy have about the defendant?
:18:41
Jim is a rich and powerful man.
:18:44
Billy was a little afraid of him,
I guess.

:18:51
Thank you.
