Come on, come on, come on. Give us the dirt. 69 00:05:06,890 --> 00:05:09,130 Well, Byron DeBeck owned a chain of theaters. 70 00:05:09,430 --> 00:05:12,830 Tina was hanging around backstage at one of them doing a rock concert in the 71 00:05:12,830 --> 00:05:15,870 hopes of beating the drummer when Byron showed up to check on the gates. 72 00:05:16,460 --> 00:05:20,840 Bingo.

The two younger children, 80 00:05:42,510 --> 00:05:46,090 and Brynn, they claimed that she was a trusting wife and a loving confidante. 81 00:05:46,390 --> 00:05:50,890 The trouble is, Holly and Brynn are 24 -year -old identical twins who were last 82 00:05:50,890 --> 00:05:55,690 seen in Puerto Vallarta with this man who keeps them both as his mistresses. 83 00:05:55,970 --> 00:05:57,210 Yeah, and who might that be? 84 00:05:57,430 --> 00:06:00,770 Well, all I know about him right now is that he is an avid deep -sea fisherman 85 00:06:00,770 --> 00:06:05,030 and someone of weight in the Reagan administration. 86 00:06:05,710 --> 00:06:06,710 What? 87 00:06:07,230 --> 00:06:09,350 That's what I'm hoping to find out when I go to Eau Claire. 88 00:06:10,050 --> 00:06:14,410 Tina and the twins, they work out with this acrobatics group that's 89 00:06:14,410 --> 00:06:15,410 headquartered there. 90 00:06:15,610 --> 00:06:19,090 Plenty of snapshots, Victor.

I turned them down flat. 94 00:06:27,610 --> 00:06:29,830 I don't understand. They have this woman dead to rights. 95 00:06:30,070 --> 00:06:31,070 I disagree. 96 00:06:31,250 --> 00:06:35,950 Oh, I'm going to plead temporary insanity, and I expect to see her walk. 97 00:06:36,350 --> 00:06:39,110 That doesn't sound like what I've been reading. Yeah, I mean, she killed this 98 00:06:39,110 --> 00:06:41,350 guy like a pro. How are you going to sell a jury on insanity? 99 00:06:41,950 --> 00:06:44,270 Easy, by hammering on the context in which it happened. 100 00:06:44,570 --> 00:06:46,950 I mean, how do you think a jury is going to feel when they find out that there 101 00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:51,130 are close to 40 ,000 people living in the United States with full diplomatic 102 00:06:51,130 --> 00:06:55,870 immunity? That means that they can commit arson, rape, robbery, murder, and 103 00:06:55,870 --> 00:06:56,789 be punished. 104 00:06:56,790 --> 00:06:58,450 Fine. What does that have to do with diminished capacity? 105 00:06:59,030 --> 00:07:00,030 Everything. 106 00:07:00,210 --> 00:07:04,090 Megan Penny was told that because of diplomatic immunity... 107 00:07:04,860 --> 00:07:07,940 It was basically okay with her government that this man raped her. 108 00:07:08,350 --> 00:07:11,030 And in fact, it was okay for him to do it again. 109 00:07:11,230 --> 00:07:14,190 So what's the solution, Mike? Do away with diplomatic immunity altogether? 110 00:07:14,510 --> 00:07:15,610 Maybe it's not such a bad idea. 111 00:07:15,970 --> 00:07:18,870 Did you ever stop and think what would happen to American diplomatic personnel 112 00:07:18,870 --> 00:07:20,070 abroad if we did away with immunity? 113 00:07:20,390 --> 00:07:22,930 I'll tell you, I don't have a problem with an American diplomat getting 114 00:07:22,930 --> 00:07:26,350 sentenced to prison if he commits a rape. They are still separate issues. 115 00:07:26,630 --> 00:07:29,650 The only issue that I'm concerned with here is that this woman does not deserve 116 00:07:29,650 --> 00:07:31,210 to spend ten minutes in jail. 117 00:07:31,430 --> 00:07:33,230 In other words, two wrongs make a right. 118 00:07:33,550 --> 00:07:36,290 Please, I did not say that. You know, you're pandering to the jury, you're 119 00:07:36,290 --> 00:07:39,130 wrapping her up in the flag, and you're... gambling that no one's going 120 00:07:39,130 --> 00:07:40,130 too much about the law. 121 00:07:40,190 --> 00:07:44,330 Look, I am trying to represent a client as best I can.

But that doesn't change the fact... 196 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,280 that she willfully decided to take the law into her own hands. 197 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:06,900 That doesn't change the fact that she deliberately, methodically, ended the 198 00:12:06,900 --> 00:12:08,000 of another human being. 199 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,980 That makes her a criminal, ladies and gentlemen. 200 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:16,300 She may be the most sympathetic murderer you've ever heard tell of, but she is 201 00:12:16,300 --> 00:12:18,120 nevertheless a murderer. 202 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,420 Okay, that's Wilfred Arguello there, crossing right in front. 203 00:12:24,420 --> 00:12:27,560 with his back to me, and he's walking into the crowd. 204 00:12:27,900 --> 00:12:30,600 Now, you can see his face right in the top middle here. 205 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,880 That's his father, the ambassador, over on the right, next to the waiter holding 206 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:36,679 the drinks. 207 00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:41,700 Now, after these people pass through, you'll see Miss Penny come in on the 208 00:12:41,700 --> 00:12:42,840 side of the screen. 209 00:12:43,580 --> 00:12:45,200 Okay, there she is in the blue dress. 210 00:12:46,020 --> 00:12:50,920 Now, she's going to cross to the right toward Mr. Arguello, and the rest is 211 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,060 pretty self -explanatory.

That is enough. Sorry, Your Honor. No 249 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,240 further questions. 250 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,620 Boy, was it dead. 251 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,040 Mrs. Graham. 252 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,800 And based upon your examination of Miss Penny, Doctor, did you make a diagnosis 253 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,120 with respect to her sanity? 254 00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:35,500 Yes, I did. 255 00:15:35,980 --> 00:15:40,460 It was my conclusion that she knew exactly what she was doing. There was 256 00:15:40,460 --> 00:15:43,460 delusional about her behavior. No evidence of psychosis. 257 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,580 I think she was completely sane. 258 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:47,520 Nothing further. 259 00:15:53,260 --> 00:15:55,060 Have you ever been raped, Dr. Klepp? 260 00:15:55,460 --> 00:15:58,600 Objection. That is inflammatory and has no relevance to the case being tried 261 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,560 here. She claims to know what's going on inside my client's mind. I am simply 262 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,380 trying to find out if she has been there. 263 00:16:04,780 --> 00:16:05,780 Objection overruled. 264 00:16:07,220 --> 00:16:10,460 Have you ever had a man force you into your own apartment at knife point? 265 00:16:11,660 --> 00:16:14,820 No. Ever had a man put a knife to your throat and threaten to kill you? 266 00:16:15,460 --> 00:16:19,940 No. Ever had a man make you take all your clothes off, lie face down on your 267 00:16:19,940 --> 00:16:21,360 bed while he sodomized you? 268 00:16:22,350 --> 00:16:25,430 No. And is it your testimony that you could know what death's like just by 269 00:16:25,430 --> 00:16:26,930 reading about it in medical textbooks? 270 00:16:27,250 --> 00:16:31,450 I didn't say that. Is it possible, Dr. Klepp, that if you were raped, violently 271 00:16:31,450 --> 00:16:34,870 raped, and then the police told you that they let the man go after he had 272 00:16:34,870 --> 00:16:38,970 confessed, is it possible that that just might make you crazy mad? 273 00:16:39,950 --> 00:16:42,850 I would certainly feel rage, but I don't think... Thank you, doctor. 274 00:16:43,530 --> 00:16:44,730 Oh, one more question. 275 00:16:45,370 --> 00:16:49,470 Based upon your examination of Miss Penny, do you think that... 276 00:16:49,710 --> 00:16:51,670 her release would pose a threat to society? 277 00:16:54,430 --> 00:16:55,750 No, I don't. 278 00:16:57,190 --> 00:16:58,190 No further questions. 279 00:17:03,170 --> 00:17:04,170 Douglas? 280 00:17:12,290 --> 00:17:13,290 Rusty? 281 00:17:13,609 --> 00:17:15,190 Can we talk a minute, please? 282 00:17:15,770 --> 00:17:16,790 Uh, sure. 283 00:17:19,069 --> 00:17:20,069 Come on in. 284 00:17:21,290 --> 00:17:22,290 Mackenzie Burke. 285 00:17:22,310 --> 00:17:25,410 Would you like some coffee?

You don't want to see me anymore? 293 00:17:47,090 --> 00:17:48,090 Yes. 294 00:17:48,270 --> 00:17:49,810 But not for the reasons you think. 295 00:17:50,530 --> 00:17:51,530 Doesn't matter. 296 00:17:52,270 --> 00:17:53,270 It's okay. 297 00:17:54,390 --> 00:17:55,390 Listen to me. 298 00:17:56,170 --> 00:17:58,350 You're the sexiest woman I've ever known. 299 00:17:58,610 --> 00:18:01,350 I haven't been able to sleep nights thinking about you. 300 00:18:02,070 --> 00:18:06,950 It's just... Emotionally, I can't handle it. 301 00:18:07,670 --> 00:18:09,550 It's too confusing, too intense. 302 00:18:10,310 --> 00:18:15,790 I'm not asking anything from you, Douglas. I just thought we had fun, 303 00:18:15,790 --> 00:18:16,790 all. 304 00:18:17,150 --> 00:18:18,490 It was more than fun. 305 00:18:19,570 --> 00:18:22,610 It's just who you are. 306 00:18:22,970 --> 00:18:25,690 My father, your son, Errol. 307 00:18:26,190 --> 00:18:27,750 It's just all too complicated. 308 00:18:28,310 --> 00:18:29,870 I don't want to be a complication. 309 00:18:31,650 --> 00:18:33,350 Is there anything I can do? 310 00:18:33,790 --> 00:18:34,870 Anything you need? 311 00:18:35,150 --> 00:18:36,150 I'll be all right. 312 00:18:37,290 --> 00:18:39,390 I just want you to be happy. 313 00:18:40,830 --> 00:18:43,090 Thank you, Rusty. 314 00:18:44,410 --> 00:18:46,640 You're...

I could see it there in the 319 00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:32,360 shallow water. 320 00:19:32,380 --> 00:19:34,880 Suddenly, it just started coming at me. 321 00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:42,060 It, meaning the swan? I know how crazy it sounds, but it was just charging 322 00:19:42,060 --> 00:19:44,960 me with this dreadful honking sound. 323 00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:46,980 It scared the life out of me. 324 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,200 Then what did you do? 325 00:19:48,340 --> 00:19:52,420 Well, I just swung my club to fend it off. 326 00:19:52,820 --> 00:19:54,580 I'm not kidding. I was terrified. 327 00:19:54,980 --> 00:19:57,590 I hit it once, like... This. 328 00:19:58,030 --> 00:20:04,210 And then I think I caught it again when I brought the club back, and I must have 329 00:20:04,210 --> 00:20:09,810 gotten it on the head because he just kind of dropped in the water. 330 00:20:10,330 --> 00:20:16,930 Mr. Murray, you heard Mrs. Graham's testimony that you repeatedly whomped 331 00:20:16,930 --> 00:20:22,430 swan. No, no, it's just not true. I mean, I did hit him, and yes, I did 332 00:20:22,430 --> 00:20:26,470 accidentally, you know, kill it. 333 00:20:27,150 --> 00:20:32,110 But it was purely self -defense. I would never kill an animal intentionally. My 334 00:20:32,110 --> 00:20:37,550 God. Especially something so beautiful as a swan. Anyone who knows me knows 335 00:20:37,550 --> 00:20:39,230 that. Thank you, sir. 336 00:20:40,730 --> 00:20:42,050 No further questions. 337 00:20:43,630 --> 00:20:48,230 You had a thousand dollar bet on this golf match, didn't you? 338 00:20:48,790 --> 00:20:55,450 Yes. And when you hit your ball into the pond on the 17th hole, you screamed it 339 00:20:55,450 --> 00:20:57,570 was the swan's fault. Isn't that right? 340 00:20:58,050 --> 00:21:03,510 No. It honked during my backswing. So you charged it in a fit of rage, didn't 341 00:21:03,510 --> 00:21:06,050 you? No, no. I just went to retrieve my ball. 342 00:21:06,290 --> 00:21:12,930 Mr. Murray, you ruined these plaques and these shoes to fetch a $2 golf ball? 343 00:21:13,130 --> 00:21:16,910 I never intended to go in. I must have just slipped in when it scared me. 344 00:21:17,130 --> 00:21:18,130 Oh, yes. 345 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,720 The dreadful, frightening honking. 346 00:21:20,940 --> 00:21:21,940 Well, it's the truth. 347 00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:29,300 The jury's entitled to hear the sound that supposedly... That is a duck call. 348 00:21:29,300 --> 00:21:30,460 is completely irrelevant. 349 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,180 It is a goose call, which fairly resembles the swan mating sound. It was 350 00:21:35,180 --> 00:21:37,300 looking to mate, believe me. Quiet, everybody. 351 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,420 Mr. Roitman, I don't see the harm. 352 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:41,720 Thank you, Your Honor. 353 00:21:43,740 --> 00:21:46,960 Is that what scared you, sir? 354 00:21:47,550 --> 00:21:49,530 No, it was much worse than that little chirp. 355 00:21:50,390 --> 00:21:51,530 Here's one for you. 356 00:21:52,190 --> 00:21:54,250 Why don't you show us?

You gave it to him. 364 00:22:15,910 --> 00:22:16,910 It's inaccurate. 365 00:22:17,590 --> 00:22:20,590 Swans honk in little shorter bursts like this. 366 00:22:21,450 --> 00:22:24,810 What the hell? I object, Your Honor. She's testifying. 367 00:22:25,270 --> 00:22:30,550 She has no confidence to render swan impersonations in a court of law. 368 00:22:30,550 --> 00:22:31,550 shut up. 369 00:22:31,790 --> 00:22:34,050 I said shut up! 370 00:22:37,730 --> 00:22:39,810 Counsel in my chamber. 371 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,540 Now. Are you having a good time? 372 00:22:46,180 --> 00:22:49,780 The fact that it's Philly is exactly my point, Your Honor.

That's all I am asking the jury to do. 516 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,860 This is why America is a great country. 517 00:32:47,060 --> 00:32:52,440 Because while you're out there wrestling with the big picture, Mr. Darrow, I'm 518 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,280 making the world a safer place for swans. 519 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:03,000 When David Murray came home that night, 520 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:10,120 he had to look his six -year -old daughter Sarah straight in the eye and 521 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:15,260 to her that he had taken the life of a swan. 522 00:33:16,300 --> 00:33:20,220 And if you can imagine the sense of remorse that he must have felt at that 523 00:33:20,220 --> 00:33:27,020 moment. Try, try, ladies and gentlemen, to comprehend the utter humiliation. 524 00:33:27,690 --> 00:33:33,090 that he must have felt when telling his eight -year -old son, Jimmy, that he was 525 00:33:33,090 --> 00:33:34,090 afraid of this bird. 526 00:33:35,350 --> 00:33:38,030 It was no more embarrassing, people, than it was true. 527 00:33:41,190 --> 00:33:43,750 The swan scared him.

But let's all try and imagine 543 00:34:57,820 --> 00:35:02,900 the humiliation little eight -year -old Jimmy would have felt. 544 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,720 If he had been on the golf course to see Daddy tee up the bullfrog. 545 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:09,620 I mean, come on. 546 00:35:10,260 --> 00:35:15,140 He bashed in that bird's head because it cost him a golf bet. 547 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:21,060 And I do feel badly for laughing, ladies and gentlemen. And the fact that we 548 00:35:21,060 --> 00:35:25,800 have all chuckled a little during this trial in no way undermines its severity. 549 00:35:26,620 --> 00:35:30,700 Human nature covets thick jokes. 550 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:38,060 either as a defense mechanism or as a release or simply as a means of coping 551 00:35:38,060 --> 00:35:41,440 with events, we find tragic. And this is tragic. 552 00:35:41,940 --> 00:35:44,260 What he did is cruel. 553 00:35:44,660 --> 00:35:45,660 It's sick. 554 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,900 And it's totally unforgivable. And for you to excuse it would be equally 555 00:35:50,900 --> 00:35:51,900 unforgivable. 556 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:59,500 He shamelessly and brutally killed a beautiful swan. His behavior is 557 00:35:59,500 --> 00:36:00,500 unacceptable. 558 00:36:00,910 --> 00:36:02,850 and repugnant to deepened human beings. 559 00:36:03,650 --> 00:36:06,190 I'm asking you to tell him that. 560 00:36:08,330 --> 00:36:09,330 Thank you. 561 00:36:12,370 --> 00:36:16,070 Annie, they're waiting for the Davidoff file.
