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...
:52:02
which would allow me to consider it.
:52:05
Therefore, you have
two choices before you:
:52:08
I can send this case
back to the state court...
:52:11
and you can present the evidence...
:52:14
or, ifyou insist...
:52:17
on, uh, proceeding...
:52:21
this evidence will be lost
to you forever.
:52:29
You understand the choice
before you, Mr Beldock?
:52:39
Your Honour, may I request
a moment to confer with my client?
:52:44
That's the smartest thing
you've said all morning, Counsellor.
:52:55
Rubin, listen to me.
Thisjudge is telling us
as clearly as he possibly can...
:52:59
that he's going
to rule against you.
