Don't ever turn your back on me.
And he talked to me 15 minutes.

1:04:09
He's crazy.
1:04:14
You can understand why a man
might steal if he needs money...

1:04:18
to put food on the table.
1:04:21
I can understand why a 17-year-old
boy who doesn't have a car...

1:04:24
would steal one to ride around in.
1:04:26
I can understand
why the heroin addict needs heroin.

1:04:29
But it's very hard to understand
why anybody has to kill a police officer.

1:04:33

When I'm asleep
and I close my eyes and think...

1:04:48
"Why would he do it?
1:04:49
"He had no background
that would lead to murder...

1:04:52

knew the guns were there...

1:05:00
knew the guns were stolen...

was on a crime spree...
1:05:04
had had a criminal record prior to
stealing this car and these guns.

1:05:08
He was the one
that wanted to commit the murder...

1:05:10
and get away from the scene.
1:05:11
He was the one that,
after the murder was committed...

1:05:14
went right back home
and bragged about it to his friends.

1:05:19
I looked at all the evidence...
1:05:21
and I found that I believed
that David Harris committed murder.

1:05:26
The jury looked at the same evidence...
1:05:28
and found they believed that
Randall Adams committed murder.

1:05:31
And it was their verdict that counted.
1:05:58
You have a D. A...
