:53:02
- This is our last stand, Myron.
- Rubin, I am begging you--
:53:04
Let's proceed.
:53:16
Your Honour, my client wishes
to continue with this proceeding.
:53:22
Uh, do you do so formally...
:53:25
and, uh, are you aware of the, uh...
:53:28
significance ofsuch an action?
:53:32
We do so formally.
:53:40
- Proceed.
- But, Your Honour--
:53:43
- Yes?
- Uh, the state is not prepared...
:53:46
to proceed to argue
the merits of this case.
:53:48
Why not?
:53:52
Well, we, we assumed...
:53:54
that the court would not hear
this petition based on new evidence.
:53:59
You assumed wrong.
:54:05
Proceed.
:54:09
So, Your Honour, this case
was poisoned from the start.
:54:12
No evidence.
:54:14
No witnesses,
except admitted liars.
:54:18
Only a racially charged atmosphere...
:54:21
which was fanned by the police
and the prosecutors...
:54:24
who knew the truth
and distorted it...
:54:28
and subverted it and destroyed it...
:54:32
to convict an innocent man.
:54:37
What more can the State
of New Jersey do, Your Honour...
:54:39
than give a man not one...
:54:42
but twojury trials?
:54:44
And nothing has changed since then.
:54:47
Mr Carter is, and always has been,
a menace to society.
:54:51
He's been in and out of jail
his whole life.
:54:53
A criminal.
He's a violent man.
:54:56
His whole life has been violence.
:54:59
And it is our duty, Your Honour,
to continue to protect...
