1:10:00
...but it is inconclusive evidence.
1:10:02
What new admissible
evidence have you?
1:10:05
There's a whole lots of new stuff.
1:10:07
The State Attorney's office tried
to keep me out of the books.
1:10:10
That's why they sent Faxon up here.
1:10:12
And another thing...
1:10:13
...why is Wanda Skutnik dame
keeping under cover?
1:10:16
A pair of mobsters
might've killed the cop...
1:10:18
...and threatened her.
1:10:20
Maybe she's trying to keep
in good with the law...
1:10:22
...she run a speakeasy.
1:10:23
Now look here, McNeal,
I'm an attorney.
1:10:26
I know what it's like to go up
before the Pardon Board.
1:10:28
They go on facts.
1:10:30
I'll give you something
better than facts.
1:10:32
I'll give you a picture.
Take a look at that.
1:10:35
Wanda Skutnik testified that
she didn't see Wiecek...
1:10:38
...from the time of the murder...
1:10:39
...until the time she identified
him on the 23rd of December.
1:10:44
Frank maintains that she did
saw him several times...
1:10:47
...on the 22nd of December when the
cops were taking him around...
1:10:50
...from station to station.
1:10:51
That bears out Frank's
story, right there.
1:10:54
There's a picture of
Frank and Wanda...
1:10:56
...going into one of the stations.
1:11:00
Where'd you get this, Mac?
1:11:01
I got it from the files of
the old Herald Examiner.
1:11:04
I figured they'd go for
a picture like that.
1:11:07
When was this taken?
1:11:09
Obviously on the 22nd.
1:11:11
Look here, McNeal...
1:11:12
...you can't just say that
obviously was taken then.
1:11:15
You have to prove it.
- I have the photo.
1:11:17
When you go before
the Pardon Board...
1:11:19
...the burden of proof is with you.
- The picture...
1:11:22
After all, it could very
well have been taken...
1:11:24
...after she identified him.
1:11:28
McNeal, you've done a wonderful job
on assembling this evidence.
1:11:33
But the law of the State of Illinois
requires only one eye witness...
1:11:37
...for an identification
and conviction.
1:11:40
So far, that witness has not
altered their statement...
1:11:43
...and that fact still stand.
1:11:45
Mr. Palmer, in view of this,
I'm afraid I must recommend...
1:11:48
...that you permit me
to get in touch...
1:11:50
...with those gentlemen
and ask for more time...
1:11:53
...or until I have had an
opportunity to go over the case.
1:11:56
Then your advice is to call
the whole thing off?
1:11:58
That's right.
1:11:59
Mr. Palmer, I realize Mr. Burns
knows more about the law...
