:50:00
Rubin Carter has never enjoyed
a full, fair...
:50:03
and unforced disclosure
of the facts...
:50:06
to which he is
constitutionally entitled.
:50:11
For 19 years,
the truth has been hidden...
:50:16
not only from Rubin Carter's eyes...
:50:19
- but from the eyes
ofjustice itself and--
- Uh, Your Honour.
:50:22
The prosecution
objects forcefully here.
:50:24
Counsel is attempting
to present new evidence...
:50:27
and circumvent
the State Court of New Jersey.
:50:30
Your Honour must,
according to the law...
:50:32
drop this entire petition
where it belongs-- into the garbage.
:50:35
Your Honour, we implore you
to at least hear us...
:50:39
before making your ruling.
:50:41
Mr Beldock, I hope you understand...
:50:43
the implications ofyour action.
:50:46
That is a very slippery slope...
:50:50
you're trying to climb.
:50:54
- We do, Your Honour.
- Proceed.
:51:02
In 1976, the State of New Jersey's...
:51:05
chief investigator of this case,
Dominick Barbieri...
:51:08
resigned because he
discovered the truth.
:51:12
He discovered
that this case was built...
:51:14
on a foundation
offorgeries and lies.
:51:18
Those lies show the guilt
not of Rubin Carter...
:51:21
but of a corrupt police force
and the prosecutor's office.
:51:30
And now this wall of lies
has been destroyed...
:51:34
so that this court
may finally see the truth...
:51:37
and, pray God,
not turn its eyes away.
:51:40
This court is
not unmoved by your...
:51:45
eloquence and passion...
:51:47
but the prosecution is correct.
:51:50
This petition
contains new evidence...
:51:53
that has not been presented
before the State Court of New Jersey...
:51:58
and there is no legal argument
that you could make...
