* Rock of Ages, cleft for me *

* Let me hide myself in Thee *

* Let the water and the blood *

* From Thy wounded side which flowed *

* Be of sin the double cure *

* Save from wrath and make me pure *

* While I draw this final breath *

* When mine eyes shall close in death *

* When I rise to worlds unknown *

* And behold Thee on thy throne *

* Rock of Ages, cleft for me *

* Let me hide myself in Thee. *

WOMAN ( softly ): He who dwells in the shelter

of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

The Lord is my shelter and my fortress

and my God in whom I trust.

Surely He will save me from the fowler's snare,

from the deadly pestilence...

Detective Pitts. Homicide.

...will abide in the shadow of the Almighty

He is my shelter and my fortress and my God, in whom I trust.

Surely, He will save me

from the fowler's snare and the deadly pestilence.

He shall cover me with His feathers and under His wings,

He shall shelter.

His truth shall be your shield and your buckler.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

( fading ): The Lord is my shelter...

Why are you doing those by hand?

I was just asking myself that.

Is that normal?

Sending out invitations to a baby's baptism?

Is that what Presbyterians do?

Well, I want close friends and family there.

How will they know, if we don't tell them?

I'm saying we don't want this turning into another wedding.

Our wedding was perfect.

Yeah, 30 of our closest friends.

Simple backyard ceremony.

Turned into 150 of your mom's closest friends at the church.

Oh, that.

If that's work...

tell them it's your day of rest.

This is Annabeth.

Blessed are you when men shall revile you and persecute you

and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely.

Hey. What's up?

Sorry to drag you out on a Sunday.

That's okay, Detective.

uble time on weekends makes up

for a multitude of sins.

What do you got?

Cindy Delacroix,

married no children.

She's under arrest for killing her husband.

He was regional manager

of the Croft Miller's grocery chain.

How'd he die?

Well, Mr. Delacroix was stabbed

three times in the back with a butcher knife.

Cindy's bloody palm print is on the kitchen counter.

Her fingerprints are on the weapon.

Has she confessed?

Believe she's about to.

She waived her right to an attorney.

Not much she can say to get out of this one.

Let's see.

We're ready.

Mrs. Delacroix?

The deputy prosecuting attorney is here now.

You ready to make your statement?

Yes.

Did you stab your husband?

Yes.

Did you intend to kill him?

Yes.

Why'd you do it?

God told me to.

Blessed are ye when men shall revile you

and persecute you and shall say all manner...

I think she just found something to say.

Sync:FRM-xxy -=http://www.1000fr.com=-

I've had dozens of clients who wanted to plead insane,

but I don't think I've ever actually had anybody

who is insane plead insane.

I'm telling you, this lady is so crazy

she doesn't want to plead crazy.

Then how can you file a competency motion?

Because she doest know about it.

BAILIFF: Case #05CR-30756. People v. Cindy Delacroix.

First degree murder, Your Honor.

JUDGE: I've read the public defender's motion

for a pretrial competency exam.

Unless the People have any objection

to a psychiatric evaluation, I will so order.

Requesting a sidebar, Your Honor.

JUDGE: Yes, counselor?

Your Honor, this motion was filed confidentially.

Mrs. Delacroix believes psychiatry to be the work

of the devil, and objects to even the slightest

insinuation she might have mental problems.

Then why is he pursuing the competency hearing?

Your Honor, this is not a ploy.

Cindy Delacroix believes she was divinely directed

to commit the acts she's accused of, and she's not kidding.

Well, the State believes

she picked that butcher knife up all by herself

and stabbed her husband in the back with it three times.

Your Honor, if I'm gonna continue to be able

to represent my client, I respectfully request

the Court to insist on a competency exam

over my strenuous objections.

As long as we don't establish the precedent that being

deeply religious makes you mentally incompetent, fine.

Okay. I get it. Step back.

The Court hereby orders the defendant to submit

to a psychiatric examination

to determine her fitness to stand trial.

Objection, Your Honor! There's nothing to warrant

such an examination.

My client considers this examination

to be an invasion of her privacy and a direct attempt

to circumvent her communication with God.

JUDGE: Competency hearing so ordered.

This is wrong.

This is wrong.

MAUREEN: Officer Macklin,

what's going on?

How are you holding up?

I know there was a lot of fallout

after you testified against Detective Martin.

I'm okay. I just want you to know

that not every cop hates you, Maureen.

You came down here just to tell me that?

That and I was hoping that you could

put this paperwork on the fast track for me.

It's a justifiable homicide.

Homeowner takes a gun away from a guy

breaking into his house and shoots.

Kills him. Burglar had a record for previous B&Es.

Hmm, and Officer Keith Macklin

has a promotion coming up,

and would like another solved case on his record, hmm?

You know, I called you some time ago.

I didn't return the message. Sorry.

That's okay.

You were probably busy.

I was wondering if...

I don't date cops.

Oh, so it's, it's the clothes and not the man?

Basically.

Listen, I will do this.

Anything to save the people's time and money.

But you need to send, uh,

Dave Simon up here to talk to me.

I'll bring him myself.

MAN: So tell me, who is the commander in chief?

George W. Bush.

And your parent's names?

Gabe and Nora Templeton.

How's the baby?

Oh, she's so cute, it's ridiculous.

She's getting baptized next week.

Can you tell me why God told you to kill your husband?

I don't trust you.

I don't appreciate your tone.

And I'm not going to answer that question.

Mrs. Delacroix,

I simply asked

why God told you to kill your husband.

That's between God and me.

I spoke to the Lord.

I sought His guidance.

It was His hand

that took Barry's life, not mine.

And I am at peace with that.

So, if God told you right now to reach across this table,

put your hands around my neck and strangle me to death,

you'd do it?

I know what the Lord guided me to do

is against the laws of man, but I answer to a higher law.

Okay, she not only knows right from wrong,

she just confessed on the record again. She's competent.

And she also just told her shrink she hears voices

and believes her actions are compelled

by an overwhelming undeniable force.

In Indiana vs. Kennesaw, the Court called that crazy.

You're not listening to me.

You think that everything can be solved through doctors

and therapy.

Well, there's no question

therapy would be a tremendous benefit.

But there is no doubt whatsoever

the defendant is mentally competent, aware of her actions

and legally fit to stand trial.

So ordered.

Your Honor, even though my client is deemed competent

to face trial, we reserve the right to plead insanity

and/or temporary insanity.

I told you I'm not insane.

This competency

finding by no means prevents you

from mounting any defense you choose.

If you think you can prove your client was legally insane

at the time of the crime...

My sister is not insane! Her husband was insane!

Please refrain from talking in the gallery.

If I am insane, then Abraham is insane.

God told him to kill his beloved son.

You promised me

you wouldn't say I was insane.

Mrs. Delacroix, I won't warn you again!

God tested Abraham, God tested Jonah,

God tested Sarah,

God tested Mary,

and God tested me.

( gavel bangs ) Next case.

MAUREEN: Tell me about the break-in.

The worst part was this was my weekend

with Laurie, my little girl.

Her mother and me split up last year.

Since the break-in,

she won't let Laurie stay with me anymore.

Did Laurie see anything?

No. Thank God.

She didn't wake up.

Like I said,

I woke with a glass-breaking sound,

like a window being punched out.

So I got up and I went downstairs.

And I see this guy rifling through my things.

First I froze,

but then he spun around.

And I saw the gun and just, you know,

instinctively grabbed it.

And?

Big struggle.

He wasn't letting go of that gun.

And it just... kind of went off.

And he was dead.

Well, this is all very consistent with your statement.

You're a very lucky man, Mr. Simon.

I'm lucky everybody's been so helpful and great.

This has been a horrible few days.

But seriously, I appreciate

everyone not making it, making it it any worse.

Thank you both.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming in.

Okay.

So, you good on this?

Close.

No one gets a pass until I see the ballistics

and fingerprint reports.

I guess I... guess I'll let you get back to work.

Ms. Delacroix, you are claiming

that God ordered you to kill your husband,

is that correct?

God is my shepherd.

He guides my heart and my hand.

And last Sunday, God put a knife in that hand

and told you to stab your husband?

Yes.

I can't believe her lawyer let her do this interview.

She fired her lawyer.

You're kidding. She 86ed Jeff?

She refused any further psych exams

and she fired him.

Her sister and her church are handling things for now.

And her church thinks a confession

on the local news is a good plan?

They're trying to sway public sentiment.

Taint the jury pool.

Believe me, I almost wish they would've found her incompetent.

Gotta tell ya, boss,

having to go after this woman's twisted idea of God,

that's not a good day in court.

REPORTER: Why do you think God wanted your husband dead?

The devil had taken his soul.

REPORTER: So you killed him?

I cut out his sin.

I did as God commanded.

You think a jury's going to go for this? Maybe.

With some people,

all you need to do is invoke God

and they fall in line.

It only takes one person to deadlock a jury.

Well, I don't buy it.

God doesn't tell people to kill.

Danny, do me a favor,

and work up a brief on religious based offenses. Okay.

Don't let the whole "God told me to do it" spin

throw you off your game.

Steve, don't worry.

I'm going to handle this just like every other murder case I've tried.

She's only tried two murder cases.

???

So she came up from behind

and stabbed him.

Victim fell forward onto this chair,

knocking it on its side.

She stabbed him two more times,

leaving the knife

buried to its hilt.

This was not a happy housewife.

Anywho... the blood trail

goes back into the kitchen, where he grabs his keys.

His car keys?

Maybe he thought he could drive himself to the hospital.

Staggers outside, face-plants in the yard.

Not many signs of chaos and discord in the house.

She said that he was demon-possessed.

But there are no signs of drugs,

alcohol or porno magazines.

There's still the computer.

We'll get to that this afternoon.

Let's hope there's a big fat

Internet history file.

Hey, what about their financials?

Big box of receipts.

They did keep track of their money.

Good. We need a clear motive based on their life together.

They say women kill men for three reasons:

infidelity, abuse,

and, every once in a while, for money.

Given that she stabbed him three times,

let's focus on the cheating and the beating.

Done.

MAN: Barry and Cindy were the first couple that I married here,

back when this church met in a storefront.

They were high school sweethearts.

They had their whole lives in front of them.

So you knew them well.

Yeah.

This is a shock for all of us.

Cindy's one of the most active members

of our congregation.

What about Barry?

Unfortunately, he had stopped attending.

He was going through some difficult times

personally, and...

...he couldn't reconcile his feelings

with the tenets of our religion.

Were they having marital problems?

They came to me for counseling about a year ago.

They were at a crossroads.

Barry wanted to go one way

and Cindy wanted to go another.

It came to a point in therapy

where I think Barry wanted me to counsel them to divorce.

He brought it up several times,

but Cindy was adamantly opposed.

She did not believe in divorce.

Was Barry unfaithful to her?

Okay, this is...

I'm still Cindy's active pastor,

and the leader of this congregation.

I feel like I've said too much already.

I just need to understand why this happened.

Was Barry gay?

Again, I don't... I'm not comfortable.

You understand that the clerical privileges

only apply to Catholic priests

in the confessional.

I can subpoena your testimony.

You have your responsibilities and I have mine.

ANNABETH: We found a dress in Barry Delacroix's closet.

The dress had a name tag on it.

"Hi, my name's Marie."

So who's Marie?

Exactly.

Was he having an affair with Marie, or was he Marie?

Well, either way, you got your motive.

It's promising.

How's it going in here?

Cindy's comparing her acts

to acts committed in the Bible.

But, in the Bible,

if God wants somebody dead,

He takes care of it Himself.

Lot's wife, Sodom and Gomorrah...

Okay, so God never tells anyone to kill.

If He does, it's just a test.

And then He stops the guy from doing it.

I have a feeling this act has a lot less to do with God,

and a lot more to do with Marie.

I'm on my way to talk to the victim's brother.

Keep it up.

I'm so sorry for your loss, but I have to ask--

did your brother ever talk to you about someone named Marie?

Marie? No.

Do you know if he was having an affair?

That's not a simple question.

He and Cindy had known each other

since they were, I don't know, a couple of dumb kids.

He had grown into a different person;

she wanted him to stay the way he was.

Are we talking about sex?

Yeah.

He wanted to try different things,

but he didn't want to upset Cindy.

That's what he kept saying to me.

He was trying to figure out how do that without hurting her.

But, finally, he realized

he had to leave.

He told you that? When?

A week or so before he died.

Did Cindy know that?

Of course!

Oh, Barry was very honest with her.

He wanted to do this right.

But it just...

all went wrong.

So about a year ago, the Delacroixs

upgraded their computer system,

and Barry discovered the wonders of pornography.

Guy just went bananas.

Two grand a month

on their credit cards.

He only made $45,000 a year.

Wait, it gets better.

Look where he's been spending

most of his Internet time last couple of months.

"Free Living," what is this?

It's like a swingers organization.

You mean like wife swapping?

More like just group sex.

I've been trying to get in touch with some

of these people, but they're kind of hard to track down.

Sex-addicted swinger and a religious wife.

That's a recipe for disaster.

And a slam-dunk motive,

if we can get somebody from Free Living

to testify to Barry's involvement.

Keep looking.

You got it.

MAN: Here's the ballistic report

on your B & E case.

Thank you.

MAUREEN: Do you understand you have the right to counsel?

I've got nothing to hide.

The burglar pulled a gun and we struggled.

Your fingerprints are on the bullets.

You lied to me, Mr. Simon.

It was your gun.

That's... that's not possible.

I'm going to give you exactly one more chance

to tell the truth.

Okay.

It was my gun.

But it wasn't my idea to lie about it.

Whose idea was it then?

The officer--

Macklin.

Gosh, you know,

I don't want to cause trouble for anybody.

What did Macklin tell you?

Okay, the gun wasn't registered.

So when I told Macklin that,

he said I should say it was the burglar's gun.

He said it would save him...

me... everybody, a whole lot of trouble.

He'd... he'd just write it up that way.

His fingerprints are on the bullets.

Wait a minute, are you saying that it was his gun?

He says you told him to lie about it.

You think I filed a false report?

I'm informing you of what he said.

You know, a lot of guys said some pretty nasty things

about you after you testified

against Detective Margate.

I wasn't one of them.

This is why I don't date cops.

If Dave Simon said I told him to lie about that gun,

then he's making that up, and if he's

making that up, he's making up everything else.

Two things: Cindy Delacroix purchased

a set of kitchen knives six days before the murder.

I have a credit card receipt to prove that.

Do we know if the murder weapon came from those knives?

I'll have Forensics check.

Great. What's the second thing?

Cindy got a new lawyer.

Somebody named Marla Dodds.

No.

Oh, no, no, no.

Who is she?

She's a nightmare of a defense attorney,

and an unapologetic media hound.

That would make sense.

Why?

'Cause she's outside on the courthouse steps right now.

Religion is under attack in this country,

in our schools and in our courthouses--

in this very courthouse

where our sister, Cindy Delacroix, will be tried.

Is this just?

Is it fair?

No. Why?

Because how can

a godless process

ever understand the heart of a God-fearing woman?

Let us all bow our heads

and join in a silent vigil

for our sister Cindy.

And let us pray that the Holy Spirit

will touch the heart

of this judge, this jury, this prosecuting attorney,

so that they, too, may one day

be able to hear the voice of God.

She's praying the jury ignores the law?

She's saying religious people should band together,

regardless of the cause.

She's manipulating emotions.

She's going for jury nullification.

So what does that mean for us?

It means I have the strongest murder case

I could possibly have...

and I could lose.

No luck finding our swingers

or the mysterious Marie?

Nothing so far.

Detective Pitts is still on it.

Well...

Show time.

Ms. Chase...

It is an honor to do battle

with such a seasoned star of Indiana's

criminal justice system.

Ms. Dodds.

You know what Jesus said at the Last Supper:

"Everybody who wants in the picture,

get on my side of the table."

MAUREEN: What you told us is not adding up.

Did you know the man you shot was a loan shark?

Really? No.

I have a sworn statement

from your ex-wife saying she left you

because of your gambling addiction.

That's her side of the story.

Ernie Hay came to your house on the evening of September 8,

and you let him in.

And he demanded that you pay him what you owed him.

This record book from Ernie's apartment

has you in the red

for 150 grand in football bets.

When you told him you couldn't pay him,

he threatened you,

so you got your gun out and shot him.

Come on.

You... you know that's not e way it was.

Then you broke the window

to make it loo like a burglary;

got his fingerprints on the gun

to make it look like it was his,

to make it look like self-defense.

It was self-defense.

Except there was no break-in and he never had a gun.

And I never told you to say that the gun was his.

I want to talk to a lawyer.

WOMAN: The first stab wound was directly above

the right shoulder blade;

the second stab wound

punctured the victim's left lung

and the third one went very deep,

causing massive internal bleeding.

How would you categorize such wounds?

These would be classified as rage wounds.

ANNABETH: Thank you.

No questions, Your Honor.

ANNABETH: Detective Welsh,

can you tell us if any of these knives

were used in the commission of the crime?

The largest one, the chef's knife,

was found imbedded in the victim's back.

ANNABETH: The one with the defendant's fingerprints on it?

That's correct.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

Thank you for your good work, Detective.

No questions, Your Honor.

ANNABETH: Pastor Rayburn,

does God speak to you?

Absolutely.

In what way?

I sense Him in my heart, in my soul.

In every way possible.

Does God condone killing?

No. Of course not.

ANNABETH: Thank you, Pastor.

No further questions, Your Honor.

Pastor...

what does the Bible say

that God did to Sodom and Gomorrah

for their sins of the flesh?

He destroyed them.

Objection, Your Honor.

The reference...

Your Honor, Ms. Chase is the one who opened the door

to this line of questioning

when she asked the witness if God condoned killing.

Actually, I'm objecting to the reference

to Sodom and Gomorrah,

in which God did not ask an individual

to do the destruction, He did it Himself.

And if the Court wishes

to get into biblical debates, we'll be here indefinitely.

Stay on target, Dr. Dodds.

Pastor...

the last time that Cindy

came to you for help,

what was going on in her life?

She was struggling

to save her marriage.

Struggling against what?

Her husband's sexual obsessions.

Mm! Could you be more specific?

He... he wanted Cindy to have sex with multiple partners.

And what did Cindy want?

A family.

A normal marriage.

DODDS: So, when Cindy asked

for your help, what... what sort of advice

did you give her?

I said the Bible teaches us to hold marriage sacred,

but in this case, her marriage

may not be a real marriage anymore,

but a...

a perversion of marriage.

Oh, so... did you offer a remedy?

I told her to open her heart.

That God would tell her what to do.

I think we made a big mistake not arguing religion.

How'd it go?

She's turned into St. Cindy in there.

We should call the pastor again for tomorrow.

Guys... Steve, this is how she does it.

This is how she wins.

She puts the focus of the debate

as far away from the crime as possible,

and gets you to follow her.

Guys, good news.

I found the swingers-- they want to talk.

Let's not keep them waiting.

We've just been in a state of utter confusion, Phil and me.

We couldn't believe that Barry

was dead.

It's just... so awful.

When we heard all the horrible things they were saying

about Barry on TV, particularly

because he was involved in Free Living...

We knew we had to speak out.

Well, you did the right thing.

Yes, and we are interested

in anything you have to tell us.

Well, first of all, Barry was a good man.

A sweetheart.

He did not deserve to die like that.

And second, that woman, keeps calling herself Cindy,

his wife... she's a hypocrite.

You knew Cindy?

Yeah. We knew her.

As Marie.

We've been getting the victim's mail since the murder,

and that bill just came in.

Barry reserved a moving truck.

Picking it up the day he died.

Somebody up there likes you.

Defense get a hold of that yet?

Yeah, they just got it this morning.

Well, they're going to claim

Cindy didn't know anything about it.

With Marla as her attorney,

I have to get Cindy on the stand.

Dodds won't let that happen in a million years.

Cindy's a woman scorned.

I have to find a way to let the jury see that.

Let the evidence show them.

That's just it-- Dodds has a way

of making evidence irrelevant.

I have to provoke Cindy to testify.

Was Barry alone when he came

to the Free Living sex parties

here in Indianapolis?

First of all, they're not parties,

or orgies.

They're sexual exploration seminars.

The witness will answer the question.

ANNABETH: Did Barry come to these

sexual seminars alone?

No.

Who did he come with?

He came with his girlfriend, Marie.

Is Marie here today?

Yes.

Would you point her out to us, please?

She's lying.

DODDS: Objection, Your Honor.

This is an unsubstantiated allegation.

Your Honor...

This dress...

with a name tag that reads in full--

"Free Living Seminar

Hi, my name is Marie,"

was found in the Delacroix's bedroom.

DODDS: In Barry Delacroix's closet,

not Cindy's.

ANNABETH: Your Honor, we are checking

DNA from the dress against DNA

taken from the defendant.

But, if need be, the witness can identify

certain birthmarks

on the defendant's body.

Withdrawn.

What happened when you first met Cindy?

She was real nervous, so I got her a drink

and we just talked.

She enjoys drinking White Russians

and so do I.

So I told her, they don't have to be fattening

if you make them with skim milk.

And then what happened?

She met my husband Phil,

and we danced a little bit,

and, eventually,

we hooked up with Barry.

And then with a couple of other couples,

and, you know, had sex.

Who had sex?

We all had sex.

Together.

Did you have sexual relations

with Cindy Delacroix at this seminar?

Yes.

Two different times.

This is wrong.

Was she a willing participant?

I would say so.

Based on...?

Based on...

she was very giving.

And she certainly seemed...

satisfied.

She cannot say this about me.

Take your seat, Mrs. Delacroix.

She also came back to three different seminars.

She is lying!

( gavel banging ) No, let go of me!

This woman is lying, and I demand to be heard!

This is my trial.

JUDGE: Order! The defendant will be silent.

Counselors, approach the bench now.

There is nothing more fundamental

then the right of the accused

to speak in her own defense.

What about the rights against self-incrimination?

She's on the record as saying

she wishes to testify, Dr. Dodds.

Has she expressed this wish to your privately as well?

She has, Your Honor.

Then that is her right.

We'd been married for 12 years,

and our sex life had always been normal.

But then Barry started telling me how

repressed he felt.

That he enjoyed other things.

I know this is difficult, Cindy,

but you need to be more specific.

The Lord wanted me to do whatever it took

to save my marriage.

Even sleeping with other people?

It wasn't easy.

Or pleasurable.

I didn't enjoy anything, like that woman said,

but Barry wanted to experiment.

And did you want to experiment?

I didn't want to lose my husband.

Love, honor and obey your husband.

Those may be words to some people,

but to me, they're not.

And I loved him...

so much, I lowered myself.

It was...

sickening.

So, I prayed for guidance.

I asked the Lord to protect me.

And He answered me.

How?

A voice.

God spoke to me.

He said he was with me,

but that I needed to protect myself.

He told me to pick up the knife.

He told me He would guide my hand.

And that's the last thing I remember.

ANNABETH: So, it's your testimony that you had sex with Cheryl

Pierson, but you did not enjoy it?

I did not.

You did not enjoy it twice?

Objection, Your Honor. Withdrawn.

ANNABETH: Did Barry

force you to have sex with other people?

Did he hurt you or threaten you?

I knew it was what he wanted.

But did he physically force you?

No.

Did he threaten you in any way?

No.

Did things improve between you and Barry

after you had sex with other people?

No, they did not.

In fact, Barry

reserved a rental moving truck six days before the murder.

Isn't that true?

I'm not sure.

It must have been awful for you

to have lowered yourself like that.

Sacrificed your standards,

your morals, your own body.

I prayed that he would see the error of his ways.

Because God gives us free will.

That's right.

Did God tell you to go to those sex parties,

or did you choose that of your own free will?

I did it to save my marriage.

But you

chose to stay in that marriage.

Barry wanted a divorce.

He wanted out.

He told you he intended to have sex with other people,

but you chose to stay.

I loved him.

Love is a powerful thing, Mrs. Delacroix,

but so is rage.

So is shame.

Like the shame you felt when you attended sex party

after sex party,

debased yourself with another woman,

and Barry told you he was moving out, anyway.

And the rage you felt when you picked up that knife

and, of your own free will, stabbed him in the back.

No. You wanted revenge.

You wanted him to pay,

you wanted him to hurt the way you were hurting.

I just didn't want him to leave me!

How great was that?

If this were any other trial,

I'd say you made your case,

but whatever you did, Dodds has suceeded

in making God the defendant.

There are one or two jurors just lapping up everything she says.

You're gonna have to get through to them.

It all comes down to the closing argument.

You're gonna have to make a better sermon than she does.

God is real...

and God speaks to us all,

but most of us chose to ignore him,

because most of us don't want

to hear His word,

because, if we did...

we might be called upon to act.

To sacrifice.

I'm sure that...

that many of you...

have a personal relationship with God,

but you are also under attack,

because, in this country,

if a person says

that God speaks to them, not

in an intellectual or metaphorical

way, but actually, actually

speaks to them, that person...

...will be vilified.

Barry Delacroix was a lost man.

He lost his faith.

He chose to live a life of perversity

and depravity, and he wanted

and expected his wife

to do the same.

He wanted his wife

to have homosexual experiences

for his entertainment.

He wanted to offer her body

to other men for their sexual gratification.

Now, you tell me

who has committed the crime here?

This man,

or this woman

who has listened

to the never-changing voice...

...of a moral God?

Does the prosecution wish to rebut?

I'm not here to debate

whether Cindy Delacroix is a woman of faith.

I don't

know if God has provided her

comfort and guidance throughout her life.

I hope He has.

I'm here to see

that Cindy Delacroix

is held responsible

for the act she committed.

Her husband Barry

had some strange ideas, I'll give you that,

but...

he never forced her to do anything.

He tried to extricate himself

from the marriage, so they could both

lead the lives they wanted, but instead, Cindy

chose to attend numerous sex parties with him,

where she chose to have sex with other people.

When Barry decided to leave, anyway,

Cindy chose to take matters into her own hands.

She chose a particular knife,

and when her husband was about to walk out the door forever,

she chose to bury that knife

in his back, not once,

not twice...

...three times.

Cindy Delacroix is not a saint.

She is a murderer.

Members of the jury, have you reached a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

What say you?

JURY FOREMAN: On the sole count of murder,

we the jury

find the defendant, Cindy Delacroix...

...guilty.

JUDGE: Bailiffs, take charge of the defendant.

Members of the jury, this completes your service.

You are dismissed with the thanks of the Court.

We are adjourned.
