:46:17
Mercy for them.
:46:21
The killers.
:46:24
How fortunate
that their admirable attorneys...
:46:28
...were not present at the Clutter home
that fateful evening.
:46:32
How fortunate for them
that they were not there...
:46:35
...to plead mercy for the doomed family...
:46:39
...because otherwise...
:46:42
...we would have found their corpses, too.
:46:46
If you allow them life imprisonment...
:46:50
...they will be eligible for parole
in seven years.
:46:54
That is the law.
:46:59
Gentlemen...
:47:01
...four of your neighbors...
:47:03
...were slaughtered like hogs in a pen...
:47:07
...by them.
:47:11
They did not strike in the heat of passion...
:47:15
...but for money.
:47:17
They did not kill in vengeance.
:47:20
They planned it for money.
:47:23
And how cheaply...
:47:25
...those lives were bought.
:47:29
$40.
:47:32
$10 a life.
:47:36
They drove 400 miles to come here...
:47:39
...they brought their weapons with them.
:47:42
This shotgun, this dagger.
:47:46
This is the rope
that they hogtied their victims with.
:47:55
This is the blood they spilled.
