1:10:00
What are you talking about?
1:10:02
He's free!
1:10:04
You're letting him go?
1:10:05
We have to.
We can't try him.
1:10:07
And why is that?
1:10:09
Because I'm not wasting
1 /2 million tax dollars...
1:10:12
...on a trial we can't possibly win.
1:10:14
The problem is,
we don't have any evidence.
1:10:17
- What do you call that?
- I call it nothing.
1:10:20
Zero.
1:10:23
You're saying that Ballistics can't
match the bullet up to this rifle?
1:10:27
It does not matter
what Ballistics can do!
1:10:30
This rifle might make a nice souvenir.
1:10:34
- But it's inadmissible as evidence!
- Who says?
1:10:36
It's the law.
1:10:38
Then the law is crazy!
1:10:41
This is Judge Bannerman
of the appellate court.
1:10:44
He also holds classes in constitutional
law. I've asked him for an opinion.
1:10:49
Your Honor?
1:10:51
In my opinion, the search
of the suspect's quarters was illegal.
1:10:56
Evidence obtained thereby, such as
that hunting rifle for instance...
1:11:00
...is inadmissible in court.
1:11:02
You should have gotten
a search warrant. I'm sorry.
1:11:06
- It's that simple.
- Search warrant? A girl was dying!
1:11:09
She was, in fact, dead
according to the medical report!
1:11:13
But I didn't know that!
1:11:14
The court would recognize the officer's
legitimate concern for the girl...
1:11:19
...but there is no way they can
possibly condone police torture.
1:11:24
All evidence concerning the girl,
the suspect's confession...
1:11:28
...physical evidence...
1:11:29
...would have to be excluded.
1:11:37
There must be something
you can get him on!
1:11:39
Without the evidence
of the gun and the girl?
1:11:43
I couldn't convict him
of spitting on the sidewalk!
1:11:47
Now, the suspect's rights...
1:11:50
...were violated...
1:11:52
...under the 4th and 5th...
1:11:54
...and probably the 6th
and 14th Amendments.
1:11:57
And Ann Mary Deacon,
what about her rights?
1:11:59
She's raped and left in a hole to die!
Who speaks for her?
