:23:03
She is a beautiful woman...
:23:06
but when this trial is over...
:23:07
you will see her no differently
than a gun or a knife...
:23:11
or any other instrument
used as a weapon.
:23:16
She's a killer...
:23:18
and the worst kind...
:23:20
a killer who disguised herself
as a loving partner.
:23:30
Mr. Dulaney.
:23:32
Ladies and gentlemen...
:23:34
you were told
during jury selection...
:23:36
that the testimony
in this trial...
:23:38
would be sexually explicit...
:23:40
and you may find it offensive.
:23:42
You may even be disgusted
by what you hear.
:23:45
But I want you to remember
that Rebecca Carlson...
:23:49
is not on trial
for her sexual tastes.
:23:52
She is being tried for murder...
:23:54
and to charge her
with murder is ludicrous.
:23:57
The state would like you
to believe...
:23:59
that she somehow fornicated
Andrew Marsh to death.
:24:04
But the state's case
is built on fantasy, not fact.
:24:08
And the facts, as they are...
:24:10
are entirely circumstantial.
:24:13
It's not a crime
to be a beautiful woman.
:24:16
It's not a crime to fall in love
with an older man.
:24:19
This case should have never
come to trial.
:24:21
But since it has...
:24:23
I know you'll listen
to the testimony objectively.
:24:27
And when you hear
the evidence objectively...
:24:30
you will acquit Rebecca Carlson
of the charges against her.
:24:35
Dr. McCurdy,
did you find any indication...
:24:38
that Mr. Marsh used cocaine
on a regular basis?
:24:41
No. His nasal membranes
were way too smooth...
:24:44
for even occasional use.
:24:45
Were you able to determine
how he ingested this drug?
:24:52
A bottle of nasal spray
found next to the bed...
:24:55
was filled with a solution
of water and cocaine.
:24:57
The victim had a head cold
at the time of his death.
