baseball, why don't you stop with
the smart remarks all the time?
Oh my friend, for your $15 a day
you gotta listen to everything.
Ok, now you got that thing in here...
...what about it?
May I?
Ok, this is the apartment where the killing took place.
The old man's apartment is exactly
like it, directly underneath.
Now, here's the el line,
here's the bedroom, living room,
the kitchen and the bath,
here's the hallway and way down there is the front door
to the apartment and here are the steps that go down.
Now, the old man was in bed in this room.
He says he got up, he went into the hall,
went all the way down the hall, opened the front door,
just in time to see the boy racing down the stairs.
Am I right?
That's the story... for the 19th time!
15 seconds after he heard the body fall.
Correct...
The old man's bed was by the window.
That means he had to walk... 12 feet
from the bed to the bedroom door
and the hall is... 43 feet 6 inches...
down to the front door.
That means that he had to get up, get out of
bed, walk 12 feet, open the bedroom door,
walk 43 feet and open the front door to his apartment,
all in 15 seconds...
Does anyone think he could have done it?
- Sure he could have done it!
- He can only walk very slowly...
There they helped him to the witness chair...
You make it sound like a long walk!
It's not!
For an old man who's had a stroke...
it's a long walk!
What are you doing?
I wanna set this up, see how long it took him.
What do you mean you wanna set this up?
Why didn't the kid's lawyer bring it up if it's so important?
Maybe he just didn't think of it!
What do you mean he didn't think of it?
Do you think the guy's an idiot or something?
- It's an obvious thing, isn't it?
- Did you think of it?
Look smart guy, don't matter what,
I thought of it over the night.
Alright, let's calm it down.
He didn't bring it up cause he thought
it was gonna hurt his case.
Wait a minute! Maybe he didn't bring
it up because it would seem as if
he was badgering and pressuring a helpless
old man, which does not sit well with a jury,
lawyers try to avoid that sort of thing if they can...
What kind of bum is he then?
That's exactly what I've been asking!
Now, let's say this is the old man's bed.
First, I'm gonna pace off 12 feet,
that's the length of the bedroom.
You're crazy! You can't
recreate a thing like that!
You wanna do me a favour?
Could you hand me that chair?
Put it right here...
This is the bedroom door.
Now the hallway was... what? It was 43 feet.
Well, I'll pace over to that wall and
then back around this way again.
This is absolutely insane! What's the
idea behind wasting everybody's time with this?
...11... 12... Look, it's only gonna
take 15 seconds according to you!
...40... 41... 42... 43.
If you would... thank you very much!
This is the doorway out into
the hall and the stairway going down.
It was chain locked according to testimony.
Now, does anybody here got
a second hand on their watch?
I have.
Alright. Will you just stamp your foot when
you want me to go, that'll be the body falling, alright?
Time me from then.
Anybody for charades?
- I've never seen anything like this in my whole...
- Alright, I'm ready.
Come on, come on, won't you?
I'm waiting for the second hand to reach sixty.
Go!
Oh come on, step it up, he
walked twice as fast as that!
That's too slow!
- That's how he walked, he walked like an old man!
...what will this kid's stuff do?
- No. That's too slow...
...that's the way he walked.
You want me to walk faster?
Alright, I'll walk faster.
- This is a trial for murder!
- Relax, will ya? Jeez!
Time!
Exactly 42 seconds!
42 seconds?
42 seconds.
Here's what I think happened.
I think the old man heard the fight
between the boy and his father earlier
and then a couple of hours later, lying in bed,
he heard the body hit the
floor at the boy's apartment
and heard the woman scream across the street.
He tried
