"What was that ?" "Who is wrong?" "Well ... maybe ... it could ..." "Maybe it was the Regent." "I thought it was the Baum." ""Maybe it was the Regent." Maybe it was lemonade?" " This is not Nick." "He was with us." " This is what you have said and repeated to Mr. Morton." "Yes, that's my story." "It's the truth." "Really ?" "What would you say if I told you we do not serve Negroes "Cobra Tap"?" "Objection!" "There is no place where one does not serve black, cafés here or in the shallows!" "You use one of the oldest tricks and ..." "I led the against-examination." "I just asked what he would say if ..." "If the prosecutor wants to play well, it's a game you can play two." "We owe it to professional ethics and ..." "Mr. Morton, or you stop or you will be charged with contempt of court." "I apologize to the court, but there are limits to what ..." "I apologize." ""The Defense Romano about to present its findings "." "The judge left his office, Mr. Morton." "Nick, are you sure you have nothing to say?" " On what ?" " You're sure you do not lie to me about the "Cobra Tap"?" " Everything happened as I said." " Very good." "You have to decide yourself." "We introduce ourselves before the jury with what we have now or I'll call you at the helm?" "Think about it." "Kerman will put you on the grill, overwhelm you, try to break you." "Make me testify." "You know that the verdict will depend what you say and will do" "And, remember, looks at the jury when you answer, in the eye, always." "Nick, you're not listening." "I was thinking." "I want to live, Andy." "I want to live." "Why did you run away when the police came to arrest you?" "In poor neighborhoods, when the police arrived, everyone scurries." "Nick, do you have anything to do with murder you are charged?" "No, I am innocent." "To you." " He did not kill anyone." " Me it killed me ..." "Shush" " You are "Handsome" Romano, right?" " Asked rejected." "You are handsome, no ?" " Yes, I'm well." " Asked rejected." "Mr. Kerman, you know perfectly These tactics are inappropriate." " Do you know a lot of girls?" " Some." "Why are you lying?" "Look at me, Romano, not the jury." "This stuff does not." "I have not lied." "Answer precisely." "Do you wear hats?" " Sometimes yes." "Sometimes not." " And that night?" " Come on." " Perhaps." "I do not believe." "I draw the attention of the jury on Exhibit C admitted as evidence." "This hat was found nearby the entrance of an alley where the murderer is released after committing the crime" "It is obvious that this murderer isthe who lost it." "I remind you the testimonies passers who saw the murderer and stated that the murderer wore a hat." " Is this your hat?" " No." "Romano, can you try?" "Let's see if you will." "Your honor, can I review the evidence the prosecutor C?" " Proceed." " Nick ..." "It's just a hat." "No brand." "What are you trying to prove, Mr Morton?" "To me he will too." "Am I the murderer?" "Was the defense counsel in the vicinity of 380 bar the night when Hawkins agent was murdered?" "You are probably tired that I, Mr. Romano." "Thank you for your patience, I'm almost done." "Just a few questions very Simple." "For example..." " Did you kill Hawkins?" " No." " You were there and you killed him?" " I did not kill him and I know nothing." " Of course ?" " Sure." "Objection!" "Your honor, the prosecutor tortures this boy for hours, and to ask him the same questions." "Mr. Kerman, do not you think having sold this type of approach?" "Well, your honor." "It is the weapon with which Hawkins killed you, right?" "It is not to me." "and I did not kill Hawkins." "You can retire." "Oh, just a moment." "Sit down." "Your wife did not she committed suicide?" " Your wife did not she committed suicide?" " Do not mix it at that!" " Does she not committed suicide?" " Do not mix it at that!" "Sit down, please." "You were not the "Cobra Tap" the night when Hawkins was killed is not it?" "No..." "If I was there." "Sunshine was he there when you arrived?" "Sunshine?" "No." "After." " Where was Butch?" " It was already there." " In-are you sure?" " Yes" "Have you seen when Kid Finger you are out of the alley?" "No, I've already said." "Do not you were trying to flee the consequences of your crime when you were trying to escape the police?" " It is not me !" " You hate Hawkins." " I do not like the police!" " You killed, is not it?" " No !" "Is not it true that your wife killed herself because of you?" "Your wife did not she committed suicide?" "I believe in you, Nicky." "Make me proud of you." "Do not do that, Nicky." "Do not do that now." "Your wife did not she committed suicide?" "Will speak!" "Is not it true that your wife killed herself because of you?" "Is not it true that your wife killed herself because of you?" " Leave me alone !" " You killed him is not it!" "Okay, I killed him!" "I killed him!" "I am glad I killed." "And I'll kill you too!" "Sorry I had to use the hard way." " Why did you lie to me?" " Sorry, Andy." "Your honor, I would like to present a motion without the presence of the jury." "The jury will retire to the boardroom." "Your honor..." "I require in this case can plead   Guilty instead of not guilty." "That the accused rises." "Do you understand the consequences of request your lawyer?" "Yes I do."

"Rick Romano thought was innocent." "I believed what he told me and ..." "I thought that these men, Butch and Sunshine, told me." "I thought because I wanted to believe." "I wanted to believe that the whole dirt, anger and disorder of the past of this boy   had not created an assassin." "But Nick Romano is guilty." "He is guilty of many things." "He is guilty of knowing that his father died in prison." "It is found to have been designed in poverty." "He is guilty of having lived in slums." "Having had bad companions" "The pickpockets, criminals, beggars and prostitutes worst neighborhood that ever disgraced a modern city." "He is guilty   Of what lets a child in pool halls and bars." "He is guilty of abuse a primitive recovery center." "Watch over the child and civilize the teenager." "This boy could have been regenerated instead of being perverted, study instead of being left to itself." "But repeat the course Nick in this recovery center." "Look your best friend die following a inhuman punishment." "Join Nick in the shallows." "Where the receivers are buying everything without question." "Follow Nick in the alleys and streets, filled with drunks, beggars and prostitutes, enter with him into the pool halls and bars." "Listen ..." "Listen murderers and thieves   absorb their poisonous philosophy of life." "Come with Nick at the penitentiary, be number one, be counted and hated." "And out of there determined to be worthy of this hatred." "Yes, Nick Romano is guilty." "But we are we." "So is this precious thing called society." "The company is you, and you." "All of us." "We, the company, are hard, selfish and stupid." "We scandalized about the environment and we qualify the crime." "We denounce the crime yet we flee our responsibilities." "and we do not have the will to do anything." "As long as we will not have deleted neighborhoods the kind that produced this boy," "Ten will rise to take his place." "One hundred thousand..." "Until we rasions slums to rebuild   Knock on any door and you can meet Nick Romano." "The newspapers are filled with pictures and articles on this matter." "Why do not you publish this?" "They, you and I   We, the good people, we, the good citizens of this community, we photographed and found that boy for years." "For years we had taken this appointment with him, we have brutalized and have brought here a years." "If he dies in the electric chair, it is we who have killed." "Post it!" "What will we do with him now?" "The kill us?" "Making him pass current through blood, nerves, the heart, the brain?" "I ask mercy of the court." "I implore for those of us who walk freely, for us all, may you have mercy." "I am moved by your eloquence, Mr. Morton." "Deeply." "However, the law and the duty this tribunal are clear." "That the accused rises." "The sentence of this court is that you will be detained Penitentiary status until Friday, November 29th" "Where you will be performed according to the method prescribed by the state." "And may God have mercy on your soul." "Sorry, I flinched." "Nick ..." "I am sorry not to have you been a great help but ..." "You know how I feel." "But there is something I can promise you." "I will do everything I can to   avoid other kids like you to ..." "To help other kids like you." "As long as I live."
