:25:00
No.
:25:01
Do you know what constitutes rape
under the law?
:25:04
Yes, sir.
:25:05
Violation is sufficient for rape.
There need not be a completion.
:25:09
- No further questions.
- The witness may step down.
:25:12
The people recall Alphonse Paquette
to the stand.
:25:15
Since counsel for the defense
has forced the question of rape...
:25:19
it becomes necessary to take this
additional testimony from Mr. Paquette.
:25:23
You're still under oath, Mr. Paquette.
:25:25
Mr. Paquette...
:25:28
would you take a look at Mrs. Manion
seated there behind the defense table.
:25:31
Was she dressed in this manner
the night of the shooting?
:25:34
- No.
- How was she dressed?
:25:36
She had on a real tight skirt and
sweater kind of thing, sort of glued on.
:25:41
She was wearing red shoes
with high heels.
:25:43
- Was she wearing hose?
- No, she was bare-legged.
:25:47
- Was she wearing a hat?
- No.
:25:49
What kind of hair does Mrs. Manion
have under that hat?
:25:53
We'd be very happy to show the court
Mrs. Manion's hair.
:25:56
Mrs. Manion, would you
take off your hat, please?
:26:04
Thank you, Mr. Biegler.
:26:07
Was she wearing glasses
that night?
:26:10
I think she was
when she played pinball.
:26:12
Considering the tight skirt and
the tight sweater and the bare legs...
:26:17
what was the result
in her appearance?
:26:20
Would you say her appearance was
deliberately voluptuous and enticing?
:26:24
You could see everything she had.
:26:26
The defense will concede that
Mrs. Manion when dressed informally...
:26:29
is an astonishingly beautiful woman
and we--
:26:33
Mrs. Manion, stand up, please,
will you?
:26:35
As a matter of fact--
Take your glasses off.
:26:37
It's pretty easy to understand why her
husband became temporarily deranged...
:26:41
when he saw such beauty bruised
and torn by a beast!
:26:45
Your Honor, I protest.
:26:47
Mr. Biegler is perhaps
the least disciplined...
:26:49
and the most completely out of order
attorney I've ever seen in a courtroom.
:26:52
The jury will ignore
Mr. Biegler's oration.
:26:59
Was Mrs. Manion drinking heavily
that night?
