Good grief.
:52:07
She's a ho, but she find out
you done something, she turn you in.

:52:17
Mrs. Miller had testified at the trial...
:52:20
that she had gotten off early from her
gas station job...

:52:23
and gone down to pick up her husband
to help him with the bookwork.

:52:27
We found out that she was not doing
any bookkeeping for that station...

:52:31
because she had been fired
from her job two weeks earlier...

:52:34
for till-tapping, for stealing.
:52:37
The reason that they were
talking to the police at all...

:52:41
was that there'd been a three-day
running knife fight in their apartment.

:52:44
And they were all booked...
:52:46
for disorderly and drunk behavior in there...
:52:49
including assault with knives,
and all kinds of stuff.

:52:53
When they were at the police station,
they suddenly decided to volunteer...

:52:57
all this information
about what they had seen...

:52:59
about the police officer's killing.
:53:03
A woman called me at my home...
:53:05
and said that she knew this woman...
:53:07
who had testified and identified
Randall Adams from a passing vehicle.

:53:10
This woman had never told the truth
in her life.

:53:17
She also told me that she had tried
to call the D.A. During the trial...

:53:21
and give this evidence
that this woman was not believable.

:53:24
If their case hinged on this testimony,
this was not believable testimony.

:53:28
They were scum. They were just...
:53:34
actually scum.
:53:35
He was a black man
and she was a white woman.

:53:38
He came to work the day after.
:53:41
He told me about the policeman
that had gotten shot the night before.

:53:45
And I hadn't heard anything about it.
:53:48
And I thought
it was another one of these stories.

:53:51
And he brings in these newspapers...
:53:54
and he says he didn't see a thing.
He couldn't see nothing, it was dark.

:53:59
Wheels started rolling
in his head about money.
