1:25:00
We were backstage.
1:25:02
Dawn was wild-eyed
and pacing up and down...
1:25:05
ranting and raving
about her beauty...
1:25:07
when, in reality,
she looked quite hideous.
1:25:10
Her daughter Taffy came in...
1:25:12
and they had a big fight
over religious freedom.
1:25:15
Donna and I were terrified...
1:25:17
but stood by helplessly.
1:25:19
The fighting continued...
1:25:21
and Dawn strangled
her daughter to death...
1:25:23
right in front of us.
1:25:27
What happened then?
1:25:29
She ran on stage
to begin her so-called act...
1:25:32
a pitiful display...
1:25:34
based solely on
how disgusting she could be.
1:25:37
She seemed to work
herself up into a frenzy...
1:25:39
shouting ridiculous claims...
1:25:41
of criminal conduct...
1:25:42
grimacing wildly
into the audience.
1:25:44
And then, before
we could realize it...
1:25:46
she pulled a gun...
1:25:48
and began shooting
into the crowd.
1:25:49
I can't describe the horror.
1:25:51
It was nothing
but screams and panic.
1:25:54
I lived through hell
that night.
1:25:58
Your Honor, Mr. Wilroy,
1:26:00
Iadies and gentlemen
of the jury,
1:26:02
we have heard a lot of
witnesses condemn my client.
1:26:04
We have heard some
incredibly bizarre testimony...
1:26:07
and we have seen some
damaging physical evidence...
1:26:11
but my client is innocent...
1:26:13
innocent by
reason of insanity.
1:26:15
Listen to her testimony.
1:26:17
Listen to the whisperings
of a madwoman...
1:26:19
and decide for yourselves...
1:26:21
if she is not insane, who is?
1:26:24
I do not ask you
to forgive her.
1:26:26
I do not ask you
to set her free.
1:26:28
I ask you to have
the courage to help her.
1:26:31
Find her insane...
1:26:32
so that she can be put away
in a mental hospital...
1:26:35
for the rest
of her natural life.
1:26:38
Dawn, how did you
become acquainted...
1:26:40
with Donald and Donna Dasher?
1:26:42
I went to their beauty parlor...
1:26:44
and they discovered me.
1:26:46
I was so beautiful.
1:26:48
I still am the top model
in the country.
1:26:55
I don't want my trial
to be held here.
1:26:58
I want it to be downtown...
1:26:59
in a large, large
theater where I belong.
