:16:02
if he appeared on the streets of
Tombstone under those circumstances.
:16:06
Wyatt, I told you
before you went down to the corral
:16:09
that I had met with the Clanton group
and they agreed to leave town peaceably.
:16:13
Bryan, you take bribes. You're a thief,
a liar, and a disgrace to your office.
:16:17
I wouldn't take your word
if you swore to it on your mother's grave.
:16:21
You'll live to regret that.
:16:26
I want to recall Sheriff Bryan.
:16:39
Now, Sheriff Bryan...
:16:41
would you mind repeating under oath
the statement you just made?
:16:46
I said I attempted
to stop the Earps and Holliday
:16:49
as they marched down the street
toward the corral.
:16:52
How did you go about that?
:16:55
I told them that none of the men
at the corral were looking for trouble.
:16:58
They had all agreed
to leave town immediately.
:17:01
And what was their reply?
:17:03
They ignored me.
:17:04
And what did you do then?
:17:07
I watched them.
:17:09
I saw Billy Clanton and Frank McLowery
raise their hands above their heads...
:17:15
and Tom McLowery threw back his coat
and lapel to show that he was unarmed!
:17:19
And that's when the Earps
and Holliday opened fire!
:17:21
- You swear this under oath?
- I do!
:17:24
That they fired on the deceased
with their coats open
:17:27
and their hands raised in the air!
:17:31
That's all, Your Honor.
:17:33
So we see that the prosecution has
introduced a substantial body of evidence
:17:38
pointing to the guilt
of the defendants.
:17:40
And much of this stands unrefuted
by the defense.
:17:43
But in the last analysis,
:17:45
the prosecution's case
turns on two points.
:17:48
Whether in fact
the shooting was a crime,
:17:51
and whether there was a motive.
:17:54
As to the first point,
:17:56
both the coroner's report and the
independent medical testimony indicate
