1:08:01
But we could not bring out the fact...
1:08:03
that they had said that they were
gonna get that reward money...
1:08:07
and that they didn't care
whether they saw anything or not...
1:08:10
but their car was too steamed up.
1:08:13
We were not allowed to get any of that in...
1:08:15
because it was held
that it was impeaching testimony...
1:08:18
and therefore it came too late.
1:08:20
We kept running into blank walls.
1:08:25
A reporter from the Dallas Morning News...
1:08:28
discovered that one week
after the trial was over with...
1:08:32
the daughter of this woman
had a robbery case in this court.
1:08:36
She offered her testimony...
1:08:37
at a time when her daughter
was in danger of going to jail for life...
1:08:41
and got her daughter out of jail.
1:08:43
How can you believe her...
1:08:45
when the very next week
the same judge dismisses that case?
1:08:51
The Millers are the kind of people
that would do anything...
1:08:55
if there was something to be gained...
1:08:58
such as her daughter not being sent
to the penitentiary for armed robbery...
1:09:01
or for money.
1:09:04
When we went to court that day,
the District Attorney was hard-nosed.
1:09:08
Wouldn't let me answer any questions.
1:09:10
He'd ask me questions,
but then he'd cut me off real short.
1:09:15
And that's when he said something
about my big fat nose.
1:09:18
If I'd kept my big fat nose
out of their business...
1:09:20
the Millers would be better off.
1:09:24
When I started to leave
out of the courtroom...
1:09:26
he started laughing, like:
1:09:29
"Didn't do you any good to get up here."
1:09:31
It really didn't. Didn't help the guy at all.
1:09:42
To the best of my recollection...
1:09:43
the brief conversations
I have had with Mr. Adams...
1:09:45
and they have been brief...
1:09:47
I don't even recall ever asking him,
or my having told me...
1:09:51
that he did not do it.
1:09:54
Because, for my purposes,
representing him on appeal...
1:09:58
it's totally irrelevant.
