Let's go in. 4 00:00:34,618 --> 00:00:35,858 I like it hot. 5 00:00:35,869 --> 00:00:40,533 But it's a good trial. Assault with intent to kill. 6 00:00:40,541 --> 00:00:41,997 Not interested. 7 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,460 Old man maximum's on the bench. 8 00:00:46,463 --> 00:00:50,047 Old man maximum, eh? Mm-hmm. 9 00:00:51,051 --> 00:00:53,667 It is kinda hot, at that. 10 00:01:49,901 --> 00:01:51,437 Do you recognize that man? 11 00:01:51,445 --> 00:01:53,857 Yes, sir. I sold him a pruning knife. 12 00:01:53,864 --> 00:01:55,354 Did he seem to be upset? 13 00:01:55,365 --> 00:01:56,354 I object, your honor. 14 00:01:56,366 --> 00:01:58,027 Very well. I'll rephrase the question. 15 00:01:58,035 --> 00:01:59,400 Do you recall his appearance at that time? 16 00:01:59,411 --> 00:02:02,027 - Yes, sir. - Would you say that when the defendant, 17 00:02:02,039 --> 00:02:05,782 John novak, came into your store to buy that pruning knife, 18 00:02:05,792 --> 00:02:07,578 he acted like a man planning a murder? 19 00:02:07,586 --> 00:02:08,871 I must object again, your honor. 20 00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:12,713 Counsel for the defendant knows better than to ask for an opinion of this kind. 21 00:02:12,716 --> 00:02:15,879 It's clearly immaterial. Objection sustained. 22 00:02:15,886 --> 00:02:18,002 Exception, your honor. Exception noted. 23 00:02:18,013 --> 00:02:22,598 Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you will disregard the witness's response. 24 00:02:22,601 --> 00:02:26,093 I ask the court to reconsider its ruling on that last motion. 25 00:02:26,104 --> 00:02:29,187 On what ground? Your honor, the prosecution is trying to prove... 26 00:02:29,191 --> 00:02:32,979 That John novak had planned an assault with intent to kill. 27 00:02:32,986 --> 00:02:34,226 And I ** trying to show on the contrary... 28 00:02:34,237 --> 00:02:38,230 That John novak was not planning anything remotely connected with assault. 29 00:02:38,241 --> 00:02:39,321 And that at the time of the attack, 30 00:02:39,326 --> 00:02:42,318 he suffered a sudden mental and emotional dislocation. 31 00:02:42,329 --> 00:02:46,493 While the court appreciates counsel's earnestness, 32 00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:48,866 it must remind him of the laws of evidence. 33 00:02:48,877 --> 00:02:51,243 We are concerned with facts, not opinions. 34 00:02:51,254 --> 00:02:55,122 The court denies counsel's request to reconsider its ruling. Kindly proceed. 35 00:02:55,175 --> 00:02:57,962 Opinions, your honor, are sometimes facts in themselves... 36 00:02:57,969 --> 00:02:59,379 And have an important bearing on the truth. 37 00:02:59,388 --> 00:03:02,471 If the court would only try to understand and not hinder the defense, 38 00:03:02,474 --> 00:03:04,010 we might be able to get at that truth. 39 00:03:04,017 --> 00:03:07,430 Mr. Douglas, I've been very patient with you. 40 00:03:07,437 --> 00:03:13,148 But I must warn you, if you make another remark of this kind, you'll be held in contempt. 41 00:03:14,569 --> 00:03:16,776 Proceed. 42 00:03:18,365 --> 00:03:22,449 Mr. hart, what did Mr. novak look like when he was in your store? 43 00:03:22,452 --> 00:03:24,864 I don't know. He looked like any other farmer... 44 00:03:24,871 --> 00:03:26,611 That comes to town on Saturday afternoon. 45 00:03:26,623 --> 00:03:29,865 Of course. But I mean his face. Didn't you notice anything unusual? 46 00:03:29,876 --> 00:03:32,743 It was unusually clean for a farmer, if that's what you mean. 47 00:03:32,754 --> 00:03:35,917 What I mean is unimportant. We're trying to ascertain the facts. 48 00:03:35,924 --> 00:03:38,165 - Yes, sir. - Was he scowling as he came in? 49 00:03:38,176 --> 00:03:42,385 - Oh, I wouldn't say so. - Was he frowning? Crying? 50 00:03:42,389 --> 00:03:45,005 He was smiling, Mr. Douglas. Smiling from ear to ear. 51 00:03:45,016 --> 00:03:51,603 Twenty years. Hmm. Throws a man's life away like a chewing gum wrapper. 52 00:03:51,606 --> 00:03:53,722 Water under the bridge, Dave. Forget it. 53 00:03:53,734 --> 00:03:56,316 Forget it, nothing. I'm going to fight for a new trial. 54 00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:00,528 On what grounds? Well, I'll figure something. 55 00:04:00,657 --> 00:04:03,364 Maybe I'll use his charge to the jury. It was dynamite. 56 00:04:03,368 --> 00:04:04,653 What did he say that was wrong? 57 00:04:04,661 --> 00:04:05,992 It's not what he said. It's the way he said it. 58 00:04:05,996 --> 00:04:10,410 Sure, his words were impartial, but his tone was, "hang novak. Hang novak." 59 00:04:10,417 --> 00:04:12,954 But, Dave, how can you prove a tone of voice? 60 00:04:12,961 --> 00:04:15,373 I don't know. I'll have to figure something. 61 00:04:15,380 --> 00:04:17,462 What are you doing tonight? Well... 62 00:04:17,466 --> 00:04:19,081 Well what?
