2:23:02
It was not an appendectomy.
2:23:04
I falsified my records.
I assisted her in a miscarriage.
2:23:09
A miscarriage of Lucas Cross' baby.
2:23:13
I said it was Lucas Cross' baby
that Selena carried.
2:23:16
- I object to this statement as evidence.
- On what grounds?
2:23:21
It's the conclusion of the witness.
2:23:23
- Except that it's true.
- Can you testify to this?
2:23:27
I can.
2:23:28
Objection overruled. Continue.
2:23:31
I have here a complete admission
of guilt, signed by Lucas Cross.
2:23:39
Will the attorneys please
approach the bench?
2:23:46
I offer Lucas Cross' confession
into evidence, Your Honor.
2:23:50
I object, Your Honor.
2:23:52
The confession of a person not a party
to the case is totally inadmissible.
2:23:56
The prosecution may have a sound point,
but I'll reserve my ruling until...
2:24:01
...I've heard his testimony. If I find it
inadmissible, I'll order it stricken.
2:24:06
His entire testimony stricken
from the record?
2:24:10
I will rule on that when I've heard it.
2:24:16
You will complete your statement,
Dr. Swain.
2:24:19
I'm sure that the prosecutor will see that
the state investigates my records...
2:24:24
...and perhaps I could lose the privilege
to practice medicine...
2:24:28
...but it's time that someone
spoke up...
2:24:31
...and paid the price
for the privilege of speaking.
2:24:33
Selena killed Lucas out of fear.
2:24:36
Fear of being forced to submit to him
again, and then she hid her crime...
2:24:41
...for fear of how we'd react to her
being assaulted by her stepfather.
2:24:45
She couldn't trust us with the truth.
Selena had no one to go to but me.
2:24:50
She only came to me because she had
to for medical reasons.
2:24:53
She swore me to secrecy.
2:24:55
Now I'm violating that secrecy
for a bigger purpose.
2:24:59
We're all prisoners of each other's
gossip, killed by each other's whispers...
