:59:02
The defendant is in the care of a deputy
and will be returned this afternoon.

:59:07
We'll formally arraign the defendant
on his return.

:59:10
For the sake of the docket,
can you give me a clue to his plea?

:59:14
The defendant will waive reading
of the information and stand mute.

:59:17
A plea of""not guilty""
will be entered.

:59:19
The case of Frederick Manion will be
placed first on the trial docket.

:59:34
Can you hurry it up, Paulie?
If somebody tells that judge...

:59:37
the prisoner was lounging around the
rail station, he'll give me the works.

:59:41
This will just take a minute.
Come on over here.

:59:47
Well, Lieutenant,
how'd things turn out?

:59:50
- I was temporarily insane.
- Did he tell you that?

:59:52
Yeah. Says he's gonna
write you a letter.

:59:55
I took some notes on my own.
:59:58
The doctor's name is Smith.
1:00:00
Anatole Ludwig Smith
or Ludwig von Smith, I hope.

1:00:04
A name like that
would impress the jury.

1:00:06
Just plain Matthew Smith.
He said that when I shot Quill...

1:00:10
I was suffering from
""dissociative reaction.""

1:00:15
- Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?
- What does it mean?

1:00:18
It means ""I had an irresistible
impulse to shoot Quill.""

1:00:25
That's okay, isn't it?
1:00:26
What did he say about your knowing
the difference between right and wrong?

1:00:31
I don't think he said anything.
Why, is that important?

1:00:34
We'd better not keep
the sheriff waiting. You'd better go.

1:00:43
Thank you, Sheriff.
1:00:56
Ever heard of a Michigan court accepting
""irresistible impulse"" as insanity?
