:47:02
why would he come back home
three hours later?
:47:06
Wouldn´t he be afraid of being caught?
:47:08
He came home for his knife. lt´s not nice
to leave knives in people´s chests.
:47:12
Yeah, especially relatives´.
:47:15
l don´t see anything funny about it.
:47:18
The boy knew the knife
could be identified.
:47:21
- He had to get it before the police did.
- lf he knew the knife could be identified,
:47:25
why did he leave it there in the first place?
:47:28
l think we can assume the boy ran out in a
state of panic, having just killed his father.
:47:33
He calmed down and realised
he´d left his knife there.
:47:36
This, then, depends
on your definition of panic.
:47:39
He would have had to be calm enough to
wipe off any fingerprints left on the knife.
:47:44
Now, where did this panic start
and where did it end?
:47:48
You voted guilty. What side are you on?
:47:51
l don´t believe l have to be loyal
to one side or the other.
:47:54
- l´m simply asking questions.
- This is just off the top of my head but...
:47:59
lf I´d done the stabbing, l´d take a chance
and go back for the knife.
:48:03
l´ll bet he figured
nobody´d seen him running out
:48:06
and the body wouldn´t be discovered
till the next day.
:48:08
After all, it was the middle of the night.
He figured it´d be found the next day.
:48:12
Pardon. This is my whole point.
:48:14
The woman across the street testified
that the moment after she saw the killing,
:48:18
that is, a moment after the train went by,
:48:21
she screamed, and then went
to telephone the police.
:48:24
Now, the boy certainly
must have heard the scream.
:48:27
So he knew that
somebody saw something.
:48:30
l just don´t think
that he would have gone back.
:48:33
Two things. One: he may not have heard
the scream. Perhaps it wasn´t very loud.
:48:38
Two: if he did, he may not
have connected it with his own acts.
:48:41
He lived in a neighbourhood
where screams were commonplace.
:48:44
- There´s your answer.
- Maybe. Maybe the boy did kill his father.
:48:48
Didn´t hear the scream,
did run out in a panic,
:48:51
calmed down later and came back for the
knife, risking being caught by the police.
:48:55
Maybe those things happened,
but maybe they didn´t.
:48:58
There´s enough doubt to wonder if he was
there at all at the time of the killing.
