Yeah, boy. 198 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,100 I just hope it's not a root canal. Oh, I had that once. They had to cut into the 199 00:11:27,100 --> 00:11:28,700 jawbone to kill the nerve. Oh, please. 200 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,560 I get vasovagal response. 201 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,500 What? Even the thought of it, the drilling, the huge needles, makes me 202 00:11:35,660 --> 00:11:38,840 There's nothing worse than lying there helpless, your mouth wide open, and that 203 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,860 little drill starts grinding away. 204 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,360 Bits of heat start flying out. Oh, smoke. You start to see smoke. And that 205 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:47,420 terrible burning smell. 206 00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:49,900 Stop. Guys, please, give me a break, okay? 207 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:50,919 Oh, that's nothing. 208 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,920 When I was in high school, I went to the dentist, and he was drilling my cavity, 209 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,000 right? And I flinched. And the drill took this big chunk right out of my 210 00:11:58,060 --> 00:11:58,999 Oh, yuck. 211 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,100 Yeah, blood was pouring out all over the place. I couldn't eat for days. It was 212 00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:03,100 a tragedy. 213 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,200 Stitches? No, 214 00:12:04,700 --> 00:12:08,080 no.

Dr. Rothberg called in dead. 242 00:13:07,130 --> 00:13:09,290 Passed away six months ago. I'm taking over for him. Open. 243 00:13:13,999 --> 00:13:15,240 Ooh, you have great teeth. 244 00:13:15,780 --> 00:13:17,440 Do you floss them regularly? 245 00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:20,560 You should, you know, if you want them to stay that way. 246 00:13:20,980 --> 00:13:23,180 You may feel just a little bit of pain. 247 00:13:24,620 --> 00:13:28,660 Sorry. What you have is a deteriorated filling. The good news is I think we got 248 00:13:28,660 --> 00:13:31,040 it in time. It's just a matter of re -drilling and putting in a new silver 249 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,620 filling. That should take care of it, unless you start picking up radio 250 00:13:33,620 --> 00:13:34,620 stations. 251 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,920 What? It's just a joke. I'm being sued. 252 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,200 Malpractice. Open. 253 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:40,979 Okay, close. 254 00:13:40,980 --> 00:13:42,380 You're a lawyer, aren't you, Mrs. Fuentes? 255 00:13:43,740 --> 00:13:47,580 You know, this case is completely groundless. This crazy woman claims that 256 00:13:47,580 --> 00:13:50,700 drugged her and while she was knocked out, I planted a radio receiver in her 257 00:13:50,700 --> 00:13:51,820 bridge work. Can you believe that? 258 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,500 At first I thought, if I just ignored her, maybe she'd drop the suit and it'd 259 00:13:55,500 --> 00:13:58,220 away, but now I have to go to court tomorrow. Do you think that if I just 260 00:13:58,220 --> 00:14:00,940 explain that to the judge that he'd... everything will be okay? 261 00:14:02,740 --> 00:14:03,740 Open. 262 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,480 You're going to feel just a little pinch and then a burning sensation. 263 00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:11,060 You know, it's upsetting to be accused of something even as silly as this. 264 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:12,400 I don't know what I'm going to do. 265 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:15,880 Hey, maybe you could help me. 266 00:14:18,340 --> 00:14:19,340 Great. 267 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,040 I'm so relieved. 268 00:14:23,340 --> 00:14:26,660 I had been working in the prison laundry room for about six months when they 269 00:14:26,660 --> 00:14:30,520 transferred him in. I want you to tell the jury exactly what you saw on October 270 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:31,560 12th, 1980. 271 00:14:32,300 --> 00:14:34,040 Well, like I said, I was in the laundry room. 272 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,080 It was towards the end of the shift. 273 00:14:37,230 --> 00:14:41,030 And I see Buckner wrestle this young kid into the alcove, push him onto the 274 00:14:41,030 --> 00:14:42,810 floor with a knife against his throat. 275 00:14:44,170 --> 00:14:45,850 And he raped him right there on the floor. 276 00:14:47,330 --> 00:14:49,190 I can see the whole thing from where I stand. 277 00:14:49,910 --> 00:14:54,930 Then he takes the knife after he's done, and he sticks it right above the kid's 278 00:14:54,930 --> 00:14:58,190 knee, and he starts ripping up the leg with it, all the way up to his thigh. 279 00:14:59,070 --> 00:15:01,990 And then he told the kid he'd cut his leg right off if he ever said a word to 280 00:15:01,990 --> 00:15:03,550 anybody. And did he? 281 00:15:03,950 --> 00:15:04,950 No. 282 00:15:05,030 --> 00:15:06,030 Neither did I. 283 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,520 Why is that, Mr. Bridges? 284 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,220 Because inmates who say things about other prisoners end up with knives in 285 00:15:11,220 --> 00:15:13,180 backs. The guards can't protect you? 286 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,240 Lady, the guards don't run that joint. The Buckners do. 287 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,320 I'm in for five years. 288 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,720 Waiting that long, that ain't the problem. 289 00:15:22,380 --> 00:15:23,940 The trick is living that long. 290 00:15:24,420 --> 00:15:25,420 No further questions? 291 00:15:29,380 --> 00:15:32,680 Before appearing as the witness here, you made a deal with the prosecutor, 292 00:15:32,860 --> 00:15:33,860 didn't you? Yeah. 293 00:15:33,930 --> 00:15:37,230 They agreed to expedite your parole if you provide a testimony against Mr. 294 00:15:37,370 --> 00:15:38,990 Buckner. Doesn't change what I thought. 295 00:15:39,230 --> 00:15:42,510 You'd do anything to get out of prison. Isn't that right, Mr. Bridges? Yeah, I 296 00:15:42,510 --> 00:15:43,510 cut a deal. 297 00:15:43,870 --> 00:15:44,950 But I'm telling the truth. 298 00:15:46,050 --> 00:15:47,550 You don't know who that guy is, man. 299 00:15:48,050 --> 00:15:49,810 He's killed people you don't even know about. 300 00:15:50,030 --> 00:15:51,930 There ain't nobody safe. Objection, Your Honor. 301 00:15:52,470 --> 00:15:55,330 Sustained. The jury will disregard the witness's last remarks. 302 00:15:55,630 --> 00:15:59,490 You've had five years to tell your story. Now, why is it you never said 303 00:15:59,490 --> 00:16:00,490 until now? 304 00:16:00,790 --> 00:16:01,910 Because I would have been killed. 305 00:16:04,490 --> 00:16:05,490 It was an argument. 306 00:16:05,710 --> 00:16:09,310 An argument that turned violent, that's all. It was a vicious attack. 307 00:16:10,310 --> 00:16:14,210 Quiet. I'll give you your chance in a minute. Excuse me, but since we've 308 00:16:14,210 --> 00:16:17,430 appointed Mr. Gelber as foreman, I think he should moderate. 309 00:16:17,830 --> 00:16:20,070 He can moderate all he wants after I have my say. 310 00:16:20,770 --> 00:16:21,770 Now look. 311 00:16:22,210 --> 00:16:27,670 Look, this Harkavy guy, he forces the defendant's car off the road. 312 00:16:28,270 --> 00:16:29,470 Then he flips him the bird. 313 00:16:29,950 --> 00:16:33,620 Now. I don't condone what the defendant did, but I don't think we should 314 00:16:33,620 --> 00:16:38,080 criminally convict the guy for a situation where a lot of normal people 315 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,080 lose their tempers. 316 00:16:39,380 --> 00:16:40,380 I disagree. 317 00:16:40,580 --> 00:16:44,380 Normal people don't bash cars and hoot like whooping cranes. 318 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,020 But what would you do if some nut almost makes you crash, huh? And then tells 319 00:16:48,020 --> 00:16:49,440 you where to go? You'd be pretty upset. 320 00:16:50,380 --> 00:16:52,020 I wouldn't resort to violence. 321 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,000 Well, maybe there's something wrong with you, then. I mean, I'm not calling you 322 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,000 a coward or nothing. 323 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,320 But I'd hate to see a guy go into jail just because of a little yellow streak 324 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,319 the jury. 325 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,280 This has nothing to do with bravery, Mr. Novicky. 326 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,900 I just think it's important that we all know where each of us is coming from. 327 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:17,599 And I just want to make it clear that you're a man who always remains 328 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,660 no matter how much he pushes. 329 00:17:20,060 --> 00:17:23,280 Hey, Mr. Novicky. Keep your hands off me. What? 330 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:24,520 Who's to stop me? 331 00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:27,599 I'll stop you. You? 332 00:17:28,060 --> 00:17:29,740 A meat little mole like you? 333 00:17:29,940 --> 00:17:30,799 Stop it! 334 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:31,800 Cut it out. 335 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,240 Stop it! Both of you! 336 00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:36,960 Stop it! What's the matter with you? 337 00:17:38,740 --> 00:17:40,600 Okay, okay, I'm sorry. 338 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,660 I'm sorry. I was just trying to show that there's the potential for violence 339 00:17:45,660 --> 00:17:48,100 every man if he's sufficiently provoked. 340 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,420 And in those moments, we can all behave out of character. 341 00:17:51,780 --> 00:17:54,860 Now, again, I'm not trying to suggest that the defendant should be... 342 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,180 congratulated for losing. It's cool. 343 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:02,560 I just hate to see a man's life ruined because he blew a fuse after a little 344 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:03,560 traffic beef. 345 00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:04,700 Come on, folks. 346 00:18:05,340 --> 00:18:07,840 Hasn't everybody been punished enough for this already? 347 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,860 So what you're saying, Doctor, is Walt Buckner, in many ways, is a victim 348 00:18:15,860 --> 00:18:21,220 himself. Oh, in almost every way. He was orphaned at age six. 349 00:18:21,810 --> 00:18:26,350 sexually abused at age eight. He was shuttled from foster home to foster 350 00:18:26,430 --> 00:18:29,830 Now, these aren't great springboards for emotional stability. 351 00:18:30,330 --> 00:18:34,450 Now, doctor, did you have occasion to do a psychiatric workup on Walt Buckner? I 352 00:18:34,450 --> 00:18:38,210 did. And can you state for the court your conclusion from this examination? 353 00:18:38,550 --> 00:18:44,050 Well, I found Mr. Buckner to be a man abused emotionally and physically since 354 00:18:44,050 --> 00:18:49,130 childhood. His life has been consumed with violence and... 355 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,540 Despair. And in many ways, he's done nothing but perpetuate the environment 356 00:18:53,540 --> 00:18:58,160 was born into. His behavior, given his upbringing, is totally predictable. 357 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:03,780 Do you think, Doctor, that if exposed to positive influences, this man could 358 00:19:03,780 --> 00:19:04,780 change? 359 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:05,960 It's possible. 360 00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:07,100 Yes. 361 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:08,880 Thank you, Doctor Bassett. That's all. 362 00:19:11,540 --> 00:19:14,080 You think this man is capable of changing? 363 00:19:14,620 --> 00:19:19,080 Well, I believe every man is capable of reformation, and Mr. Buckner's no 364 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,680 exception. A man who has killed four times? 365 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:28,300 Believe it or not, yes.
