facts. You can't refute facts. This kid's guilty. Look, I'm as sentimental as the next guy. I know he's only 18. But he's gotta pay for what he did. I'm with you pops. It was obvious to me that the boy's entire story was flimsy. He claimed he was at the movies at the time of the killing yet one hour later he couldn't remember what films he saw. - He claims that. - That's right. Did you hear that? That's absolutely right. And noone saw him going into or out of the theater. And what about the woman across the street? If her testimony don't prove it, nothing does. That's right, she's the one who actually saw the killing. That's right. Come on fellas, let's go in order here, come on. Now look. Here's a woman who's lying in her bed. She can't sleep, dying from the heat, you know what I mean. And then she looks out the window, and right across the street she sees this kid stick the knife into his father. It's 12.10 on the nose. Everything fits. And look, she's known this boy all of his life. His window is right opposite hers right across the el tracks and she swore she saw him do it. Through the windows of a passing elevated train? This el train had no passengers on. It was just being moved downtown. Lights out, remember that? And they proved in court that at night you can look through the windows of a passing el train with the lights out and you can see what's happening on the other side. Now they proved that! Could I ask you a question? Go ahead. You don't believe the boy. Why do you believe the woman? Isn't she one of them too? Oh you're just a real smart fellow, aren't you? Take it easy. - What's he so wise about? I'm telling ya... Alright, alright, we don't need none of that in here. Now, whose turn is it? Alright, you're next. I pass. - What did he say? - He passes. It's his priviledge. How about the next jentleman? I don't know... I came convinced very early in the case. Excuse me. See, I'm looking for motive. I think it's very important. If you don't have a motive you don't have a case, right? So anyway, that testimony from those people across the hall from the kid's apartment, well, that's why that was so important, cause didn't they say that the father 'n' the kid had an argument and the kid run out sometime around 7 o'clock that night, I could be wrong about the time... It was 8 o'clock. Yes, that's right, it was 8 o'clock. They heard the argument but they couldn't tell what the argument was about. Then they heard the father hit the son twice and then later they saw the son walk out of the appartment angrily ...but what does it prove? It don't exactly prove anything, I'm just saying it's part of the picture, that's all. Yeah, but you did say it revealed the motive and that's what the prosecution said. To me it's a very weak motive! This boy has been hit so many times that violence is a normal part of his life. I don't think a couple more hits in the face would provoke him to murder. It may have been two hits too many. Everyone has a breaking point. - Anything else? - No. - How about the next jentleman? - Me? I don't know... I mean it's practically all been said already, you know? I mean we could talk about it forever. This kid's 0 for five. I mean look at his record. At 10 he's at juvenile court, he threw a rock at a teacher, at 14 he was in reform school cause he stole a car, he's been arrested for muggin', he's been picked up twice for trying to slash another teen with a knife, he's real good with that switchblade you know. Everybody said that. This is a real fine boy. Ever since he was 5 years old, his father beat him up and he used his fists. So would I. A kid like that? Wouldn't you call those beatings a motive for him to kill his father? I'd say it's a motive for him to be an angry young man, I'd say that. These kids, the way they are nowadays. They're angry, hostile.
