:42:11
You go ahead. You say anything you like.
:42:14
Why do you think the old man might lie?
:42:17
lt was just that l looked at him
for a very long time.
:42:21
The seam of his jacket was split,
under the shoulder.
:42:25
Did you notice that?
l mean, to come into court like that.
:42:31
He was a very old man in a torn jacket.
:42:35
And he walked very slowly to the stand.
:42:38
He was dragging his left leg
and trying to hide it,
:42:43
because he was ashamed.
:42:45
l think l know this man
better than anyone here.
:42:49
This is a quiet, frightened,
:42:52
insignificant old man who...
:42:54
who has been nothing all his life.
:42:57
Who has never had recognition
or his name in the newspapers.
:43:02
Nobody knows him. Nobody quotes him.
:43:06
Nobody seeks his advice after 75 years.
:43:11
Gentlemen, that´s a very sad thing -
to mean nothing.
:43:15
A man like this needs to be quoted,
to be listened to.
:43:20
To be quoted just once -
very important to him.
:43:24
lt would be so hard for him
to recede into the background.
:43:27
Wait a minute. Are you tellin´ us he´d lie
just so he could be important once?
:43:31
No. He wouldn´t really lie.
:43:34
But perhaps he made himself believe
he heard those words
:43:37
and recognised the boy´s face.
:43:39
That´s the most fantastic story ever.
:43:42
How can you make up a thing like that?
What do you know about it?
:43:54
- Does anybody want a cough drop?
- l´ll take one.
:43:57
l still don´t see how anybody
can think he´s not guilty.
