How did he get the flask? 199 00:13:45,970 --> 00:13:48,870 Judd Bennett took it from me at the house along with Stacy's bag. 200 00:13:49,190 --> 00:13:51,890 Your husband was an important man in his field. 201 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,420 When it came to developing complex drugs, there was no one better. 202 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,200 There was only one area that he came up short. 203 00:13:58,880 --> 00:13:59,940 As a human being. 204 00:14:00,900 --> 00:14:02,120 Does Berger have a case? 205 00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:03,560 I'm afraid so. 206 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,560 This mysterious friend, Reed Kavanaugh. 207 00:14:08,780 --> 00:14:09,780 Who is he? 208 00:14:10,060 --> 00:14:12,080 How does he fit in and where is he now? 209 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,280 I don't know. But his airline reservation wasn't picked up. Were you 210 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,720 trace that picture in the fire department? 211 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,500 Her name is Lorraine Keeley. 212 00:14:19,930 --> 00:14:23,130 And she worked for Stacy Feeling as a, it says here, lab technician. 213 00:14:23,450 --> 00:14:24,910 Where is Miss Keeley now? 214 00:14:25,210 --> 00:14:27,310 No one seems to know. She hasn't been to work since the crash. 215 00:14:27,510 --> 00:14:29,630 I have a man watching her place in case she comes home. 216 00:14:29,870 --> 00:14:32,150 It's a bungalow court on Marika Drive. 217 00:14:34,690 --> 00:14:40,110 The final radio message prior to the crash and the information we received 218 00:14:40,110 --> 00:14:44,510 the operations clerk indicates pilot failure is the cause of the crash. 219 00:14:45,070 --> 00:14:48,030 Would you read that final radio message to the court, please? 220 00:14:48,410 --> 00:14:52,090 The transmission was interrupted, the voice was hesitant and slurred, but the 221 00:14:52,090 --> 00:14:58,770 actual words were, Sick, awfully sick, read me, try and put down, sleepy, down, 222 00:14:58,950 --> 00:15:00,250 go down, sleepy. 223 00:15:00,470 --> 00:15:01,470 That's it. 224 00:15:01,670 --> 00:15:02,870 Lots of times, Mr. 225 00:15:03,070 --> 00:15:07,050 Fielding's wife would drop his gear off with a flask in it, and he'd have a 226 00:15:07,050 --> 00:15:08,970 snort, said it helped him keep awake. 227 00:15:10,210 --> 00:15:14,110 Once she forgot to put it in, and he called and really gave her what for. 228 00:15:14,910 --> 00:15:18,550 But you have no way of knowing whether his wife sent the flask on the day in 229 00:15:18,550 --> 00:15:23,510 question. Yes, sir. He and Mr. Bennett there, they mentioned that she'd sent it 230 00:15:23,510 --> 00:15:25,730 out to him. I remember because Mr. 231 00:15:25,950 --> 00:15:30,130 Feeling said, well, he said, she'd like to see me dead. 232 00:15:32,410 --> 00:15:35,870 After I had the fingerprints developed, Mr. Berger, I had the contents of the 233 00:15:35,870 --> 00:15:37,390 flask analyzed by our laboratory. 234 00:15:37,710 --> 00:15:38,710 And what were the findings? 235 00:15:39,010 --> 00:15:42,890 The whiskey in the flask contained a lethal concentration of veranol. 236 00:15:43,470 --> 00:15:47,530 Now, Lieutenant, were you present when the medical examiner conducted tests on 237 00:15:47,530 --> 00:15:48,990 the remains found in the plane? 238 00:15:49,270 --> 00:15:54,110 I was, and as his deposition showed, there were traces of veranol in some of 239 00:15:54,110 --> 00:15:55,330 organs. Thank you. 240 00:15:55,870 --> 00:15:56,910 False examiner. 241 00:15:59,710 --> 00:16:04,770 Lieutenant Drum, I'm particularly interested in those prints you say you 242 00:16:04,770 --> 00:16:09,310 developed. Besides the prints of the defendant and those of the decedent. 243 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,860 What other prints were on that flask? Well, there were quite a few, but some 244 00:16:13,860 --> 00:16:15,280 the prints were smudged, Mr. Mason. 245 00:16:15,980 --> 00:16:18,480 Were these smudged prints superimposed on the others? 246 00:16:18,900 --> 00:16:22,920 Yes. Then those prints, which may have been made by a person or persons 247 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,080 were placed on the polished flask after that flask was handled by the defendant, 248 00:16:27,260 --> 00:16:29,880 by Mr. Bennett, and by Mr. Fielding. Is that correct? 249 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,440 Mr. Mason, I can't testify to that. 250 00:16:32,980 --> 00:16:34,820 Lieutenant, I'm not trying to trap you. 251 00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:37,200 I'm merely suggesting that the decedent... 252 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,240 may have offered a drink to someone else. That's for all we know. 253 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,280 The flask was passed around before he boarded the aircraft. 254 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:44,520 Now, isn't that possible? 255 00:16:44,580 --> 00:16:45,519 Objection, Your Honor. 256 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,980 Mr. Mason is leading the witness, calling for a conclusion. 257 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:49,480 What's your other question? 258 00:16:50,060 --> 00:16:54,420 Lieutenant Drum, is it possible that one of the strangers whose fingerprints are 259 00:16:54,420 --> 00:16:58,280 superimposed on that flask may have been the last person to handle it? 260 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,640 Mr. Mason, it's obvious that the decedent handled it last. There's no 261 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,660 anybody else being poisoned by Varanol. 262 00:17:05,230 --> 00:17:07,250 And also, the flask was found in the airplane. 263 00:17:07,810 --> 00:17:09,670 Lieutenant, will you please answer my question? 264 00:17:09,990 --> 00:17:14,690 Would you say that someone else, whose fingerprints are unidentified, could 265 00:17:14,690 --> 00:17:16,710 handled that flask after Mr. Fielding did? 266 00:17:16,910 --> 00:17:20,869 Well, I would say that a number of people may have handled it. But the 267 00:17:20,869 --> 00:17:22,630 was clearly the last one to do so. 268 00:17:25,530 --> 00:17:26,910 Well, sir, Mr. 269 00:17:27,310 --> 00:17:30,090 Fielding's friend, Mr. Cavanaugh, dropped by to talk. 270 00:17:30,430 --> 00:17:35,130 So I left him at the plane, parked the car, and came back to town. Let's get 271 00:17:35,130 --> 00:17:36,490 back to the flask, Mr. Bennett. 272 00:17:36,870 --> 00:17:38,870 You said the defendant gave it to you. 273 00:17:39,090 --> 00:17:43,110 Yes, along with some other things, and told me to be sure he got it. Was that 274 00:17:43,110 --> 00:17:45,370 the extent of your conversation with Mrs. Fielding? 275 00:17:45,670 --> 00:17:51,310 No. She asked me about Mr. Fielding's business. I told her that I worked for 276 00:17:51,310 --> 00:17:53,150 him, and I couldn't talk about things he told me. 277 00:17:53,370 --> 00:17:55,330 What else did the defendant talk to you about? 278 00:17:55,550 --> 00:17:58,170 She asked me if I knew somebody, a Mrs. 279 00:17:58,890 --> 00:18:01,970 Far, I think it was. No, I said I didn't. One moment, please. 280 00:18:02,750 --> 00:18:06,610 Your Honor, I have an objection to interpose with this entire line of 281 00:18:07,150 --> 00:18:11,530 But if it's agreeable to the court and counsel, I will withhold it until after 282 00:18:11,530 --> 00:18:12,570 the answers have been made. 283 00:18:12,770 --> 00:18:15,750 If it then seems the objection is proper, I will make it. 284 00:18:16,010 --> 00:18:17,310 Is that all right with you, Mr. Berger? 285 00:18:17,510 --> 00:18:18,510 Well, all right, Your Honor. 286 00:18:18,730 --> 00:18:22,930 I'm sure when counsel hears the testimony, he won't put forth any 287 00:18:24,350 --> 00:18:28,030 Mr. Bennett, to repeat, what else did the defendant talk to you about? 288 00:18:28,460 --> 00:18:32,000 Well, she asked me if I liked her. 289 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,460 I think she was trying to get me to help her find out what was going on. 290 00:18:35,980 --> 00:18:39,920 She said that some drugs were missing from the plant and did I know who'd 291 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,300 them. Go on, Mr. Bennett. 292 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:47,740 Mr. Fielding had told me and Miss Keeley, one of his lab technicians, that 293 00:18:47,740 --> 00:18:51,540 had a feeling that his wife was taking drugs from the inventory and maybe 294 00:18:51,540 --> 00:18:54,560 selling them out of the country. Of course, I didn't tell Mrs. Fielding, the 295 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:55,560 defendant, that. 296 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:56,680 Thank you, Mr. Bennett. 297 00:18:57,340 --> 00:18:58,340 Posse's down. 298 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:04,160 Your Honor, I now wish to present the objection which I discussed before this 299 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,380 line of testimony began. 300 00:19:07,060 --> 00:19:08,440 Witness may stand down. 301 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:11,860 Go ahead, Mr. Wicks. 302 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,100 If the court please, I object to any proof being introduced tending to 303 00:19:17,100 --> 00:19:20,520 the defendant with any crime until it has been shown that a crime has been 304 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:21,520 committed. 305 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,820 It is necessary for the prosecution to prove a corpus delicti before there can 306 00:19:25,820 --> 00:19:29,140 be any evidence tending to connect the defendant with such a crime. 307 00:19:30,100 --> 00:19:31,100 Mr. Berger? 308 00:19:35,220 --> 00:19:39,580 Your Honor, I certainly don't need a refresher law course from defense 309 00:19:39,980 --> 00:19:42,520 I'm perfectly familiar with the rules of corpus delicti. 310 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,620 But let me point out that we have here a dead man who was killed by means of 311 00:19:46,620 --> 00:19:47,620 poisoned whiskey. 312 00:19:48,140 --> 00:19:49,380 And that whiskey... 313 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:54,100 according to the prima facie presumption of circumstantial evidence, was 314 00:19:54,100 --> 00:19:56,760 deliberately prepared for the decedent by the defendant. 315 00:19:57,260 --> 00:20:00,580 Your Honor, I'm afraid counsel misunderstands my objection. 316 00:20:01,380 --> 00:20:05,820 I'm pointing out that there is no corpus delicti because there is no proof that 317 00:20:05,820 --> 00:20:09,540 the body found in the plane was that of Stacy Fielding. Who are you suggesting 318 00:20:09,540 --> 00:20:10,760 it was, Mr. Mason? 319 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,760 I think it was Mr. Reed Cavanaugh, Mr. Fielding's friend. 320 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,800 But there's no possible proof of that. 321 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,080 Well, there is, Mr. Berger. 322 00:20:17,460 --> 00:20:21,280 But I do know that Mr. Cavanaugh Didn't use his airline reservation. 323 00:20:21,700 --> 00:20:25,300 And there's no indication of that. Either in the evidence or in the police 324 00:20:25,300 --> 00:20:28,600 investigation. You didn't give the police enough time to make a proper 325 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:33,160 investigation. Because you pushed me into... Your Honor, Mr. Mason has made a 326 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,600 completely unsupportable statement. 327 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,800 He has absolutely no proof of his contention. Your Honor, I believe that 328 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:39,880 Fielding is alive. 329 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,060 But for his own reasons, he chose to disappear when he learned that the 330 00:20:44,060 --> 00:20:46,060 body in the plane was identified as his. 331 00:20:46,590 --> 00:20:49,470 Mr. Mason, I think you have an obligation to explain this thing 332 00:20:49,470 --> 00:20:53,910 Honor, I respectfully submit that I will gladly do so if the district attorney 333 00:20:53,910 --> 00:20:57,950 will explain where Stacy Fielding's car is, since we have testimony that it was 334 00:20:57,950 --> 00:20:58,950 parked at the airport. 335 00:20:59,290 --> 00:21:02,470 If the district attorney will produce Reed Kavanaugh for questioning. 336 00:21:03,110 --> 00:21:06,990 And if the district attorney will show any positive identification of the body. 337 00:21:07,270 --> 00:21:09,610 Mr. Berger?

If you want to wait it out here, I'll 584 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:31,840 have to make a later reservation. 585 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:33,460 We're not going to wait it out, Paul. 586 00:38:34,720 --> 00:38:36,200 We'll make the plane. We're leaving now. 587 00:38:36,820 --> 00:38:37,738 We are? 588 00:38:37,740 --> 00:38:39,320 I've said all the things I came to say. 589 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:54,600 Perry, I don't get it. 590 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,160 All the trouble we went through to locate this girl and we just walk away. 591 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,800 Paul. Whoever she was expecting won't come near as long as we're around. 592 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:04,480 Unless he does. 593 00:39:04,980 --> 00:39:06,400 They won't be able to talk it over. 594 00:39:06,740 --> 00:39:08,720 Talk it over and decide which way to run now. 595 00:39:09,180 --> 00:39:10,280 No, I don't think so, Paul. 596 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,660 When all else fails, there's only one thing left to do. That's appeal to 597 00:39:14,660 --> 00:39:15,740 someone's better instincts. 598 00:39:16,100 --> 00:39:17,220 I hope he has some. 599 00:39:42,339 --> 00:39:45,740 I waited as long as I could, but I alerted Dirty to let me know. We should 600 00:39:45,740 --> 00:39:46,740 heard by now. 601 00:39:46,940 --> 00:39:50,300 Be seated, please, and no talking. 602 00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:57,600 Well, Mr. Berger, what do you have to tell us? Have you located our missing 603 00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,780 witness? Yes, Your Honor, we have. 604 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:05,620 Mr. Cavanaugh was picked up at a roadblock at the state line, and he was 605 00:40:05,620 --> 00:40:06,620 a rented car. 606 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,020 As a matter of fact, that's how we got a line on him, Your Honor. 607 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,600 He had to use his true name and his driver's license in order to rent the 608 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,540 automobile. And where is the witness now? 609 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:15,800 He's in custody. 610 00:40:16,220 --> 00:40:18,020 The state police flew him down here. 611 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,420 And Lieutenant Drum is meeting him at the airport in one of our police 612 00:40:21,420 --> 00:40:25,140 helicopters. Very well. Now, as soon as he, uh... Oh, by the way, Your Honor, 613 00:40:25,220 --> 00:40:27,240 there were two people in that automobile. 614 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:32,320 Mr. Cavanaugh had a young woman with him, a Miss Lorraine Keeley. 615 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:34,040 Better instinct. 616 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,020 Lieutenant, I presume you have our missing witness. 617 00:40:45,340 --> 00:40:48,860 No, Your Honor, we have our missing victim, Mr. Stacy Fielding. 618 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:52,400 Sir, how are you? 619 00:40:57,620 --> 00:41:02,500 Your Honor, I move for dismissal of the charges and ask that while you consider 620 00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:06,400 my motion, we retire to your chambers to discuss the fact that there was a body 621 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:10,640 in the plane and that Mr. Berger may yet drag my client back to court for a 622 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:11,640 third time. 623 00:41:11,740 --> 00:41:13,820 Suggestion's well taken. This court stands recessed. 624 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:16,540 Mr. Berger, bring Mr. Fielding with you. 625 00:41:38,260 --> 00:41:41,810 You're on a man. Can I address a few questions to Mr. Fielding to clear his 626 00:41:41,810 --> 00:41:44,890 of any hint of complicity in this murder, whoever the victim may be? 627 00:41:46,810 --> 00:41:51,690 Mr. Fielding, it's been testified you drank from the flask your wife filled 628 00:41:51,690 --> 00:41:54,890 whiskey. And did you suffer any ill effects whatsoever? 629 00:41:55,290 --> 00:41:57,690 You mean any symptoms of veranol poisoning? 630 00:41:58,610 --> 00:42:02,790 None at all. Then the veranol had to have been added to that flask after Mr. 631 00:42:02,930 --> 00:42:07,270 Fielding drank, which means Miriam Fielding had no opportunity whatsoever 632 00:42:07,270 --> 00:42:09,900 so. and therefore could have no connection with the murder. 633 00:42:10,220 --> 00:42:13,400 Yes, I agree. Your point seems conclusive to me, Mr. Mason. 634 00:42:14,100 --> 00:42:17,780 As soon as we reconvene, I'll dismiss the charges against Mrs. Fielding. 635 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,820 Now, Mr. Fielding, what did happen that day at the airport? 636 00:42:22,220 --> 00:42:23,220 Nothing remarkable. 637 00:42:23,720 --> 00:42:28,380 After I filed my flight plan, Reed Cavanaugh and I decided that we had so 638 00:42:28,380 --> 00:42:32,540 things to discuss, plans to make, that we would drive to Salt Lake City 639 00:42:32,540 --> 00:42:34,440 together, rather than fly separately. 640 00:42:35,240 --> 00:42:38,860 I gave my flying things and the key to the plane to Judd Bennett, and Reed and 641 00:42:38,860 --> 00:42:44,260 left. And where did you first learn of the crash and that you were dead? 642 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,400 When we reached Las Vegas, it was in all the papers. 643 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,000 But what did you think when you read the stories? 644 00:42:50,500 --> 00:42:52,500 Whether Judd Bennett had crashed or been killed. 645 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:57,380 When you read that the body was burned beyond recognition and was identified as 646 00:42:57,380 --> 00:43:00,900 you, you decided to stay dead? 647 00:43:01,500 --> 00:43:06,520 It was fortuitous, but it fit into a long -range plan to disappear with Miss 648 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,720 Keeley under the names of Mr. and Mrs. Shelby Farr. 649 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:10,040 That's true. 650 00:43:10,580 --> 00:43:14,200 I decided to take advantage of a fortunate, for me, circumstance. 651 00:43:15,180 --> 00:43:19,160 I didn't think Judd would mind until I learned he was alive and had testified 652 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:20,280 against my wife. 653 00:43:20,620 --> 00:43:21,620 What did you think then? 654 00:43:21,900 --> 00:43:25,520 I didn't know what to think. I knew I wasn't in the plane and Judd Bennett 655 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,320 wasn't. So who was? 656 00:43:34,220 --> 00:43:36,040 Will you come to the judges' chambers, please, and send it? 657 00:43:47,100 --> 00:43:49,100 Miriam? What are you doing here? 658 00:43:49,460 --> 00:43:50,460 Where is everybody? 659 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:51,980 In the judges' chambers. 660 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,240 What are you doing here? 661 00:43:56,900 --> 00:43:59,160 I came down from Modesto to help you get out of this. 662 00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:04,230 You may not believe it, but... Your husband and I and Lorraine worked it all 663 00:44:04,230 --> 00:44:06,090 last night after your attorney left. 664 00:44:06,670 --> 00:44:07,670 Oh, I believe you. 665 00:44:08,890 --> 00:44:09,769 He's here. 666 00:44:09,770 --> 00:44:12,770 You're the only one who knows who died in that plane because you're the one who 667 00:44:12,770 --> 00:44:13,689 killed him. 668 00:44:13,690 --> 00:44:16,590 No one else could possibly have added varanol to that flask. 669 00:44:17,070 --> 00:44:18,490 Not before the pilot took off. 670 00:44:18,730 --> 00:44:20,630 Who was it, Bennett? Who was the dead man? 671 00:44:21,510 --> 00:44:24,870 Was it your partner in the drug thefts from Mr. Fielding's company? 672 00:44:25,390 --> 00:44:28,950 The one who borrowed that plane for trips to Mexico to sell what you'd 673 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:36,820 It was Al Dolby, the mechanic who worked on the plane that day. Tell us, Mr. 674 00:44:36,900 --> 00:44:37,900 Bennett. 675 00:44:38,500 --> 00:44:39,580 Why did you kill him? 676 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:44,800 Her racket was all washed up. I knew that. I knew that Mrs. Fielding was onto 677 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:49,660 it. I wanted to quit, but Al, he liked the money too well. 678 00:44:50,060 --> 00:44:54,720 And I knew that he'd blow the whistle on me if I didn't agree to just one more 679 00:44:54,720 --> 00:44:59,540 trip. Mr. Bennett, I think you're going to make just one more trip. 680 00:45:00,220 --> 00:45:02,400 And this time, no one can take it for you.
