His real father was an American soldier who was 241 00:22:24,070 --> 00:22:25,070 killed during the war. 242 00:22:27,610 --> 00:22:29,890 I married his mother before he was born. 243 00:22:32,950 --> 00:22:34,390 She was so beautiful. 244 00:22:36,530 --> 00:22:37,670 She was beautiful. 245 00:22:38,170 --> 00:22:39,290 What happened to her? 246 00:22:40,330 --> 00:22:43,030 Her village was bombed and she was killed. 247 00:22:44,650 --> 00:22:45,730 He was only two then. 248 00:22:46,870 --> 00:22:50,630 But before she died, I promised her I will always take care of Lee. 249 00:22:56,650 --> 00:22:57,650 Is there Miss Thomas? 250 00:22:59,270 --> 00:23:00,810 Oh.

Sometimes twice 256 00:23:22,930 --> 00:23:24,310 a week. Who is? 257 00:23:25,050 --> 00:23:26,090 He's right here. 258 00:23:27,910 --> 00:23:28,910 The sheriff? 259 00:23:31,130 --> 00:23:32,130 Deputy Atkins? 260 00:23:32,370 --> 00:23:33,790 Yeah. Mr. Tran! 261 00:23:35,130 --> 00:23:37,530 What do you know about Deputy Atkins? 262 00:23:38,210 --> 00:23:41,310 Well, he was a fisherman until about six months ago. 263 00:23:41,570 --> 00:23:43,630 He lost his boat to the bank. 264 00:23:44,490 --> 00:23:45,550 Deputy Atkins? 265 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:13,460 Under the circumstances, I see no alternative but to reconsider Mr. 266 00:24:13,460 --> 00:24:15,080 request for a change of venue. 267 00:24:16,420 --> 00:24:17,420 Motion granted. 268 00:24:18,180 --> 00:24:20,240 The trial will be held in Fulton County. 269 00:24:36,750 --> 00:24:40,490 After finding Mr. Sampson's body on the deck, what did you do then? 270 00:24:41,370 --> 00:24:43,890 I secured the crime scene and commenced my investigation. 271 00:24:44,710 --> 00:24:46,630 Did that include looking for a murder weapon? 272 00:24:47,230 --> 00:24:47,989 Yes, sir. 273 00:24:47,990 --> 00:24:52,130 Deputy Adkins is a qualified diver. He began an underwater search of the area 274 00:24:52,130 --> 00:24:53,130 beneath the boat. 275 00:24:53,550 --> 00:24:56,110 He came up with a knife within a few minutes of his dive. 276 00:25:01,790 --> 00:25:03,870 I show you people's exhibit five. 277 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,200 And I ask you, do you recognize it, Sheriff? 278 00:25:10,020 --> 00:25:11,240 Yes, sir, and that's the knife. 279 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:18,220 Yesterday, the coroner testified that the victim's wound was consistent with 280 00:25:18,220 --> 00:25:19,540 blade on this knife. 281 00:25:20,740 --> 00:25:25,060 Sheriff, can you tell us if there are any identifying marks on this knife? 282 00:25:26,420 --> 00:25:29,500 Yes, sir. Right there on the handle, you can see the initials N .T. 283 00:25:30,030 --> 00:25:34,030 It's a common custom in the Barton's Bay area for the local fishermen to 284 00:25:34,030 --> 00:25:36,390 personalize their fishing knives. Is that so? 285 00:25:37,190 --> 00:25:42,710 Your Honor, I'll object for the record. The question is leading and without 286 00:25:42,710 --> 00:25:47,310 foundation. However, I know what counsel is attempting, so defense will 287 00:25:47,310 --> 00:25:50,310 stipulate that Exhibit 5 is Mr. Tran's knife. 288 00:25:50,950 --> 00:25:53,110 Thank you, Mr. Matlock. Nothing further. 289 00:25:54,330 --> 00:25:55,330 Cross -examine? 290 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:03,340 No one is disputing that this is Mr. 291 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,640 Tran's knife. But, Sheriff, you didn't see Mr. 292 00:26:07,940 --> 00:26:09,520 Tran stab Mr. 293 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,480 Sampson, did you? 294 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:17,960 No. And in the course of your investigation, you didn't find one 295 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:24,180 who had seen Mr. Tran use this or any other knife on Mr. Sampson. Isn't that 296 00:26:24,180 --> 00:26:25,099 right? 297 00:26:25,100 --> 00:26:26,140 Yeah, that's right. 298 00:26:26,510 --> 00:26:30,710 However, in the weeks before the murder, there were a string of robberies on 299 00:26:30,710 --> 00:26:32,130 Vietnamese boats, weren't there? 300 00:26:32,650 --> 00:26:33,650 We had some reports. 301 00:26:34,130 --> 00:26:39,830 And a few days before the murder, Mr. Tran's own boat was robbed, wasn't it? 302 00:26:41,010 --> 00:26:43,770 I had a report, so I have evidence of a break -in. Mr. 303 00:26:43,970 --> 00:26:46,890 Tran didn't specifically list his knife stolen, did he? 304 00:26:47,370 --> 00:26:49,610 He gave me a list of things that wasn't on it. 305 00:26:49,930 --> 00:26:50,930 However, 306 00:26:51,030 --> 00:26:57,330 on the list... was the bridge compass, radio, and all fishing nets. That's all 307 00:26:57,330 --> 00:27:01,870 pretty large, expensive items. It's not unusual for a citizen to overlook 308 00:27:01,870 --> 00:27:05,930 smaller items when the larger, more expensive ones have been stolen, is it? 309 00:27:06,730 --> 00:27:07,730 No. No. 310 00:27:08,170 --> 00:27:13,750 Now, the coroner says the time of Mr. Sampson's death was 1 a .m. It's pretty 311 00:27:13,750 --> 00:27:16,070 quiet out on the harbor then, isn't it? Yes. 312 00:27:16,270 --> 00:27:17,650 I mean, it's real quiet. 313 00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:25,840 My associate, Miss Thomas and I, went out to Mr. Sampson's boat at 1 a .m., 314 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:32,020 I went in the cabin where Mr. Sampson was standing when he was stabbed, and my 315 00:27:32,020 --> 00:27:37,600 associate tried to sneak up on me, you know, the way the killer must have done. 316 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:44,400 And no matter how careful she was, I heard her. She even took off her shoes, 317 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:45,400 I still heard her. 318 00:27:45,820 --> 00:27:47,000 Objection. Relevancy. 319 00:27:47,260 --> 00:27:48,680 It isn't even a question. 320 00:27:49,100 --> 00:27:52,540 She took off her shoes and I still heard her. How about that? 321 00:27:53,300 --> 00:27:54,520 Objection! Sustained. 322 00:27:54,820 --> 00:27:56,360 I apologize to both of you. 323 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:07,200 Now, as we all know, Mr. Sampson was stabbed in the back. Doesn't that lead 324 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:13,540 the obvious conclusion that either whoever did it sneaked up on him or Mr. 325 00:28:13,780 --> 00:28:16,500 Sampson knew his killer well enough to turn his back on him? 326 00:28:16,740 --> 00:28:17,499 I suppose. 327 00:28:17,500 --> 00:28:18,640 Well, let me put it another way. 328 00:28:18,910 --> 00:28:23,030 Given what had transpired between Mr. Tran and Mr. Sampson, you certainly 329 00:28:23,030 --> 00:28:25,910 wouldn't expect Mr. Sampson to turn his back on Mr. Tran. 330 00:28:26,630 --> 00:28:28,770 So that has to mean that Mr. 331 00:28:28,970 --> 00:28:30,610 Sampson knew... Objection! 332 00:28:30,970 --> 00:28:35,150 Objection calls for speculation. No relevancy. No further questions. 333 00:28:39,070 --> 00:28:41,370 Isn't it true that you and the defendant are close friends? 334 00:28:42,130 --> 00:28:43,130 Yes, we are. 335 00:28:43,870 --> 00:28:45,230 Isn't it also true... 336 00:28:45,580 --> 00:28:48,980 that you sponsored Mr. Tran and his stepson when they first came to Barton's 337 00:28:48,980 --> 00:28:49,979 Bay. 338 00:28:49,980 --> 00:28:51,420 Everybody knows that, Mickey. 339 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,620 Please, Mr. Jakes, just answer the question. 340 00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,340 Yes, I sponsored them. 341 00:29:00,860 --> 00:29:05,580 And on the night of the murder, weren't you in the Lucky Catch bar when Mr. 342 00:29:05,780 --> 00:29:07,680 Tran threatened Mr. 343 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:08,880 Sampson? 344 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,240 Well, yeah. 345 00:29:10,420 --> 00:29:11,420 What did he say? 346 00:29:13,290 --> 00:29:15,650 Your Honor, instruct this witness to answer the question. Well, you don't 347 00:29:15,650 --> 00:29:16,650 to say that. 348 00:29:17,650 --> 00:29:24,590 What he said was that if the sheriff didn't stop John Sampson, 349 00:29:24,670 --> 00:29:26,670 that he would. 350 00:29:28,050 --> 00:29:29,330 Thank you. Nothing further. 351 00:29:34,810 --> 00:29:36,130 Sorry about that, Wynn. 352 00:29:36,870 --> 00:29:38,430 You only told the truth, Tom. 353 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,140 Are you doing this to my father? I thought you were our friend. 354 00:29:43,380 --> 00:29:44,620 I am. Mr. 355 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:46,600 Barton's only doing his job. 356 00:29:46,780 --> 00:29:48,840 You're just like the rest of them. You hate us. Lee? 357 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,020 I'm sorry, Mr. Barton. 358 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,300 He doesn't understand. 359 00:29:56,860 --> 00:29:57,860 I'll talk to him. 360 00:30:00,900 --> 00:30:02,440 It's all so senseless. 361 00:30:03,060 --> 00:30:06,740 When the Vietnamese first came to Barton's Bay three years ago, there were 362 00:30:06,740 --> 00:30:08,340 problems. Everybody got along. 363 00:30:09,070 --> 00:30:10,230 It was about six months ago. 364 00:30:10,450 --> 00:30:14,630 When the fishing got bad, that's when it all started. The local fishermen got 365 00:30:14,630 --> 00:30:18,350 scared, and like scared people, they looked for a convenient scapegoat, the 366 00:30:18,350 --> 00:30:23,470 Vietnamese. It's such a shame when you realize everybody knows what caused the 367 00:30:23,470 --> 00:30:24,470 problem. 368 00:30:24,530 --> 00:30:25,530 What's that? 369 00:30:25,750 --> 00:30:27,670 We had an unseasonably cool winter. 370 00:30:28,250 --> 00:30:33,470 The cold Arctic currents cooled off the local waters.
