: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...
:55:02
the general public
from such a man.
:55:05
Thank you.
:55:14
I've heard your statements.
Uh, I'll take them under consideration.
:55:20
Now, is there anything else
that counsel wishes to add...
:55:23
before I make my final ruling?
:55:27
- What are you doing?
- I want to say something.
- What are you gonna say?
:55:29
I want to--
I need to say something.
:55:32
Uh, Your Honour, m-my--
my client, Mr Carter...
:55:35
wishes to address the court.
:55:39
Request granted.
:55:41
Thank you, Your Honour.
:55:46
I was a, um...
:55:49
prizefighter.
:55:53
Myjob was to...
:55:55
take all the hatred...
:55:57
and skill that I could muster...
