This is a man's life we're deciding. 344 00:21:01,494 --> 00:21:06,431 Yes, that's right. And most of us here are of a mind to let him keep it. 345 00:21:06,499 --> 00:21:10,333 It's Mrs. Fletcher and her minions who are so anxious to see him hang. 346 00:21:10,403 --> 00:21:12,394 Good heavens. Is that what you think? 347 00:21:12,471 --> 00:21:16,271 Really, all I'm trying to do is to examine both sides. 348 00:21:16,342 --> 00:21:18,537 And examine and examine and examine. 349 00:21:18,611 --> 00:21:22,138 - Well, I for one cannot find any fault with that. - Oh, right on cue, honey. 350 00:21:22,214 --> 00:21:25,513 We know what Mr. Reynolds's lawyer wants us to believe. 351 00:21:25,584 --> 00:21:28,417 Self-defense. But you'll remember that the district attorney... 352 00:21:28,487 --> 00:21:32,321 painted a very different picture in his opening statement. 353 00:21:32,391 --> 00:21:36,259 The prosecution will prove beyond a reasonable doubt... 354 00:21:36,329 --> 00:21:40,925 that Mark Reynolds and Becky Anderson were lovers. 355 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,333 And that they conspired to kill Clifford Anderson. 356 00:21:44,403 --> 00:21:48,601 If it was conspiracy, then why isn't Becky Anderson on trial? 357 00:21:48,674 --> 00:21:52,667 Money, my friend. Her lawyer fixed it so she'd get tried separately. 358 00:21:52,745 --> 00:21:56,306 Well, when we convict him, the next jury will do the same to her. 359 00:21:56,382 --> 00:21:59,112 The district attorney said reasonable doubt. 360 00:21:59,185 --> 00:22:01,517 Well, I've got it.

Where would he have gotten it? 427 00:25:25,658 --> 00:25:30,220 Remember the ballistics expert said the gun had no registration. 428 00:25:30,296 --> 00:25:32,389 A single shot was fired. 429 00:25:32,464 --> 00:25:35,456 And he said that he had made a nitrate test... 430 00:25:35,534 --> 00:25:38,935 on the hands of both Mark Reynolds and Cliff Anderson. 431 00:25:39,004 --> 00:25:41,370 There were powder traces on the hands of both, 432 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,466 indicating that both held the gun when it discharged. 433 00:25:44,543 --> 00:25:47,944 A matching slug was removed from the living room wall. 434 00:25:48,013 --> 00:25:50,004 The only fingerprints on that gun... 435 00:25:50,082 --> 00:25:53,245 were those of Cliff Anderson and Mark Reynolds. 436 00:25:53,319 --> 00:25:56,117 Proving a struggle.

So would you please tell us... 568 00:32:55,507 --> 00:32:59,967 what does the broken collarbone have to do with whether or not he had the gun? 569 00:33:00,045 --> 00:33:02,536 Would you stand up, Mr. Lord? 570 00:33:02,614 --> 00:33:05,344 May I borrow your cane just for a moment, please? 571 00:33:09,588 --> 00:33:11,522 Mr. Lord. 572 00:33:11,590 --> 00:33:13,524 Good. You're right-handed too. 573 00:33:13,592 --> 00:33:18,723 What do you mean "too"? Well, Mark Reynolds's right-hand fingerprints were on the poker. 574 00:33:18,797 --> 00:33:22,460 His injury made his left arm practically useless. 575 00:33:22,534 --> 00:33:25,401 It would have been almost impossible for him to aim the gun, 576 00:33:25,470 --> 00:33:29,201 - let alone struggle over it with Clifford Anderson. - Well, maybe Becky had the gun. 577 00:33:29,274 --> 00:33:32,539 Yes, but the traces of gunpowder were on his left hand. His and Cliff's. 578 00:33:32,611 --> 00:33:34,602 Good point. 579 00:33:34,679 --> 00:33:38,080 But if he couldn't hold a gun, much less struggle for one, 580 00:33:38,150 --> 00:33:40,209 than how did the powder traces get there? 581 00:33:40,285 --> 00:33:42,913 Well, that's a question I can't answer. 582 00:33:42,988 --> 00:33:46,685 Now, there are a couple of other things that bother me. 583 00:33:46,758 --> 00:33:49,989 Well, with what you just came up with, I'm willing to listen. 584 00:33:50,062 --> 00:33:52,792 You may be willing to listen to it. I think I've had it. 585 00:33:52,864 --> 00:33:55,424 Well, why don't you just keep an open mind? Listen, my friend. 586 00:33:55,500 --> 00:33:58,936 There's only so much testimony, and we've gone over it all. 587 00:33:59,004 --> 00:34:02,735 No! The stuff about the left arm, the powder traces- 588 00:34:02,808 --> 00:34:04,742 that makes it all a different story for me. 589 00:34:04,810 --> 00:34:07,802 I say we stick to our original verdict. I'm voting for self-defense. 590 00:34:07,879 --> 00:34:10,143 [Narramore] Sorry.

There's nothing else. 620 00:35:38,904 --> 00:35:41,737 But there is something else, Miss Collins. 621 00:35:41,806 --> 00:35:46,402 A third possibility that none of us have yet considered. 622 00:35:47,546 --> 00:35:51,107 [All Arguing] Mrs. Fletcher, what other possibility? 623 00:35:51,183 --> 00:35:54,414 - What are you talking about? - I'm afraid this is all beyond me. 624 00:35:54,486 --> 00:35:57,614 Mrs. Fletcher, if this is another one of your trips to fantasyland- 625 00:35:57,689 --> 00:36:00,249 Frank, will you just sit there and shut up and listen! 626 00:36:00,325 --> 00:36:02,259 [Corbin] Let's hear it, Mrs. Fletcher. 627 00:36:02,327 --> 00:36:07,390 Well, what we have to do is to take a look at two particular statements, 628 00:36:07,465 --> 00:36:11,265 contradictory statements, starting with Mark Reynolds's description... 629 00:36:11,336 --> 00:36:15,204 of what happened when Becky's husband burst through that bedroom door. 630 00:36:15,273 --> 00:36:19,607 - We've gone over that. - And I hope for the last time. 631 00:36:19,678 --> 00:36:22,875 Now, he said that there were words exchanged, 632 00:36:22,948 --> 00:36:25,542 and suddenly they were struggling with a gun. 633 00:36:25,617 --> 00:36:28,415 Mark picked up the poker. The gun went off. 634 00:36:28,486 --> 00:36:32,582 And Mark struck Anderson with the poker. Then the police were called. 635 00:36:32,657 --> 00:36:36,252 Now, all that couldn't have taken more than five- well, 10 minutes at the most. 636 00:36:36,328 --> 00:36:40,822 - No argument. Go on. - Then what about ArthurJasper? 637 00:36:40,899 --> 00:36:45,199 The next door-neighbor. Exactly. The next-door neighbor whose driveway was blocked. 638 00:36:45,270 --> 00:36:49,036 Now how did he put it? If Mark Reynolds's hadn't hit Cliff with the poker, 639 00:36:49,107 --> 00:36:51,337 a couple of hours later when I looked out the window, 640 00:36:51,409 --> 00:36:55,869 it could have been his body being taken out in that ambulance instead of Cliff Anderson's. 641 00:36:55,947 --> 00:36:57,915 He did say that! Mm-hmm. 642 00:36:57,983 --> 00:37:01,817 "A couple of hours later." If Mark Reynolds had been telling the truth, 643 00:37:01,886 --> 00:37:04,753 the police and the ambulance would have been there- Almost immediately. 644 00:37:04,823 --> 00:37:06,757 Then they lied. Why? 645 00:37:06,825 --> 00:37:09,589 And what was Cliff Anderson doing in her apartment all that time? 646 00:37:09,661 --> 00:37:11,652 And the way Reynolds told it, 647 00:37:11,730 --> 00:37:14,392 they called the police less than five minutes after he got there. 648 00:37:14,466 --> 00:37:16,696 Obviously they didn't. 649 00:37:16,768 --> 00:37:18,861 You were right, Mr. Narramore.

But you didn't see anything. 708 00:40:33,565 --> 00:40:36,534 You're the one who struck the fatal blow. 709 00:40:36,601 --> 00:40:39,001 While Mark stood by and watched? 710 00:40:39,070 --> 00:40:41,470 No. We don't believe that he was there when it happened. 711 00:40:41,539 --> 00:40:45,976 Really? And just where was he, Mrs. Fletcher? 712 00:40:46,044 --> 00:40:48,376 He was at the hospital murdering his wife. 713 00:40:52,717 --> 00:40:55,845 Play "Hail Columbia" and salute the flag! 714 00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,911 Will you listen to that! [Laughs] 715 00:40:59,224 --> 00:41:02,352 - That is what happened, isn't it, Becky? - No! 716 00:41:02,427 --> 00:41:05,021 Isn't that why you refused to take the lie detector test, 717 00:41:05,096 --> 00:41:10,466 because you were afraid if you were asked if Mark had killed your husband in self-defense and you answered yes, 718 00:41:10,535 --> 00:41:14,801 the machine would show that you were lying? No! 719 00:41:14,873 --> 00:41:16,966 Not a shred of this will fly. 720 00:41:17,041 --> 00:41:21,978 You try usin' this in court, and I'll set your run for state office back 10 years. 721 00:41:22,046 --> 00:41:26,244 Oscar, we are not talking politics here. We are talking cold-blooded murder. 722 00:41:26,317 --> 00:41:30,048 Mark Reynolds had been to the Bide-A-Wee motel at least six times. 723 00:41:30,121 --> 00:41:32,214 How many others might he have gone to? 724 00:41:32,290 --> 00:41:35,817 And on the night of his wife's dying, he picked up another woman in a tavern. 725 00:41:35,894 --> 00:41:40,422 - It was an accidental encounter. - A woman he'd been seen with six weeks earlier. 726 00:41:40,498 --> 00:41:42,932 That testimony was refuted by cross-examination. 727 00:41:43,001 --> 00:41:45,731 Not refuted, merely challenged. Mrs. Fletcher, 728 00:41:45,803 --> 00:41:49,136 maybe you can make somethin' like this work in one of your novels, 729 00:41:49,207 --> 00:41:51,266 but not in a court of law. 730 00:41:51,342 --> 00:41:54,778 That was the first time I saw him. You heard the bartender. 731 00:41:54,846 --> 00:41:58,680 And the bartender heard what you and Mark wanted him to hear. 732 00:41:58,750 --> 00:42:01,878 [Jessica's Voice Continues] The reason for the accidental meeting was... 733 00:42:01,953 --> 00:42:04,547 to give Mark an alibi from a so-called stranger. 734 00:42:04,622 --> 00:42:07,420 His motive is clear. He loved Becky. 735 00:42:08,860 --> 00:42:12,125 His wife ofless than a year had all the money. He wanted both. 736 00:42:12,196 --> 00:42:14,426 Next thing you'll say is the car accident... 737 00:42:14,499 --> 00:42:17,400 that damn near killed him and his wife was deliberate. 738 00:42:17,468 --> 00:42:19,595 Well, I believe that it was. 739 00:42:19,671 --> 00:42:22,333 A former professional race car driver? 740 00:42:22,407 --> 00:42:24,739 He staged it so that his wife would be killed. 741 00:42:24,809 --> 00:42:27,471 He wore a seat belt. She never did. 742 00:42:27,545 --> 00:42:30,446 He slammed her side of the car into that utility pole. 743 00:42:30,515 --> 00:42:33,279 [Continues] It was made-to-order murder. 744 00:42:33,351 --> 00:42:36,616 Remember the paramedic saying she asked "Why"? 745 00:42:36,688 --> 00:42:39,987 She was asking why he tried to kill her. 746 00:42:40,058 --> 00:42:42,356 The fact that she didn't die on impact... 747 00:42:42,427 --> 00:42:47,126 and the fact that the doctor said she could regain consciousness and expose him... 748 00:42:47,198 --> 00:42:51,100 meant he had to quickly improvise a foolproof alibi. 749 00:42:51,169 --> 00:42:55,333 He called Becky. Who else could he trust? 750 00:42:55,406 --> 00:42:58,807 And what better alibi than to be in bed with another woman? 751 00:43:01,613 --> 00:43:04,673 She's wrong. Mr. Ramsey, you have to believe me. 752 00:43:04,749 --> 00:43:09,482 It would have worked except for two unforeseen events. 753 00:43:09,554 --> 00:43:12,250 First, was your being remembered by the motel man. 754 00:43:12,323 --> 00:43:15,349 The other was your husband's learning of your being in that tavern. 755 00:43:15,426 --> 00:43:20,295 When he did, when he came home to your house, he found you alone. 756 00:43:20,365 --> 00:43:25,462 Now, you couldn't let anyone know Mark wasn't with you, so you had to kill him. 757 00:43:25,536 --> 00:43:28,130 That's not how it happened! He was furious! He had a gun- 758 00:43:28,206 --> 00:43:30,868 Don't say any more! 759 00:43:34,479 --> 00:43:36,811 I'm not going to face this alone. 760 00:43:36,881 --> 00:43:39,975 Miss Anderson, don't incriminate yourself. 761 00:43:40,051 --> 00:43:42,519 If she wants to cooperate, Oscar, we could cut a deal... 762 00:43:42,587 --> 00:43:44,714 if the husband's death really was self-defense. 763 00:43:46,524 --> 00:43:49,152 Even if Mrs. Fletcher's right... 764 00:43:49,227 --> 00:43:52,162 and my client and Reynolds were mixed up in his wife's murder? 765 00:43:52,230 --> 00:43:54,357 She could plead second degree in the wife's death. 766 00:43:57,602 --> 00:43:59,627 I want Mark Reynolds. 767 00:44:01,472 --> 00:44:03,963 Becky? 768 00:44:08,713 --> 00:44:10,704 All right. 769 00:44:12,216 --> 00:44:14,241 Tell us the entire story. 770 00:44:20,525 --> 00:44:23,153 I was alone. 771 00:44:24,762 --> 00:44:30,257 [Continues] Mark had been gone a halfhour, 40 minutes by the time Cliff came. 772 00:44:30,334 --> 00:44:32,461 He was in a rage. 773 00:44:32,537 --> 00:44:35,335 He said all sorts of- 774 00:44:35,406 --> 00:44:39,399 He was horrible. Ugly. He had a gun. 775 00:44:39,477 --> 00:44:42,105 He wouldn't believe I was alone. 776 00:44:42,180 --> 00:44:45,240 And when he found out I was, he demanded to know... 777 00:44:45,316 --> 00:44:47,375 who the man was and where he was. 778 00:44:47,452 --> 00:44:51,354 He swore he'd kill him. And me. L- 779 00:44:51,422 --> 00:44:55,188 The poker was in my hand. 780 00:44:55,259 --> 00:44:57,227 And I hit him. 781 00:45:00,031 --> 00:45:01,965 He fell. 782 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:07,266 It was a- a half hour maybe, 783 00:45:07,338 --> 00:45:10,432 maybe more when- when Mark came back. 784 00:45:11,776 --> 00:45:15,371 He said it was made-to-order. A foolproof alibi. 785 00:45:16,948 --> 00:45:20,645 He'd confess to killing Cliff in self-defense and- 786 00:45:22,220 --> 00:45:26,987 and that way no one would have the slightest hint that he'd killed his wife in cold blood. 787 00:45:28,659 --> 00:45:31,560 And to make certain that it looked like self-defense, 788 00:45:31,629 --> 00:45:35,861 he saw to it that his fingerprints were on the poker... 789 00:45:35,933 --> 00:45:39,664 and that the powder traces were on his left hand. 790 00:45:39,737 --> 00:45:42,638 So with the bullet fired into the wall, 791 00:45:42,707 --> 00:45:45,904 all that was left was for you to call the police. 792 00:45:50,681 --> 00:45:55,311 He said it was easy to sneak into his wife's hospital room. 793 00:45:58,256 --> 00:46:00,952 A pillow over her face- 794 00:46:03,861 --> 00:46:07,058 As weak as she was, she died almost instantly. 795 00:46:19,177 --> 00:46:22,044 The deal holds, Oscar, but I'll need her on the witness stand. 796 00:46:23,581 --> 00:46:25,515 She'll be there. 797 00:46:39,397 --> 00:46:41,957 Ah, Mrs. Fletcher.
