If it please Your Honor-- Jan.
00:00:42.139 --> 00:00:44.938
Your Honor,
I've served here a good many years.
00:00:45.109 --> 00:00:46.907
I crave some latitude...
00:00:47.003 --> 00:00:51.014
...so the jury may fix the responsibility
for this crime where it belongs.
00:00:51.816 --> 00:00:53.002
Say it.
00:00:53.217 --> 00:00:55.448
Jan, my child...
00:00:55.886 --> 00:00:58.185
...you never knew your mother, did you?
00:00:58.355 --> 00:00:59.088
No, she died when I was born.
00:01:00.002 --> 00:01:03.425
You never had any guidance
from anyone but your father, had you?
00:01:03.594 --> 00:01:04.999
No.
00:01:05.129 --> 00:01:07.999
Was there very great affection
between you and your father?
00:01:07.998 --> 00:01:09.626
Oh, very great. There still is.
00:01:09.008 --> 00:01:12.004
I think he's the most wonderful man
in the world.
00:01:12.001 --> 00:01:16.934
Had you complete, absolute faith
in his teachings and his point of view?
00:01:17.108 --> 00:01:18.999
Yes, of course, always.
00:01:19.003 --> 00:01:21.999
And did he find you
in Ace Wilfong's place?
00:01:22.113 --> 00:01:23.999
Yes.
00:01:23.028 --> 00:01:26.001
- What time of day was it?
- Late at night.
00:01:27.485 --> 00:01:28.714
Up to this time...
00:01:28.886 --> 00:01:31.515
...had he ever criticized your friendship
with this man?
00:01:31.999 --> 00:01:32.679
No, he had not.
00:01:32.857 --> 00:01:36.658
Had he ever given you any advice
or warning about it at all?
00:01:36.827 --> 00:01:38.001
Why, he didn't think it was necessary.
00:01:38.999 --> 00:01:43.426
And this night that he found you there,
was he able to protect you?
00:01:43.601 --> 00:01:49.999
To fight for you?
To help you in any way at all?
00:01:49.064 --> 00:01:51.199
