Miss Robeson,
do you have any closing remarks?
1:42:10
Nothing further, Your Honour.
1:42:12
Mr Hillard, since you've determined
to act as your own attorney,
1:42:17
you are entitled to make
a closing statement at this time.
1:42:30
Your Honour, in the past two months,
I've secured a residence, refurbished it
1:42:35
and made it "an environment
fit for children". Those are your words.
1:42:39
I'm also holding down a job as a shipping
clerk. So I believe I metyour requirements.
1:42:44
Ahead of schedule.
1:42:47
In regards to my behaviour,
1:42:50
I can only plead insanity.
1:42:52
Because, ever since my children were born,
1:42:55
the moment I looked at them,
I was crazy about them.
1:42:58
Once I held them, I was hooked.
1:43:02
I'm addicted to my children, sir.
1:43:04
I love them with all my heart.
1:43:06
And the idea of someone telling me I can't
be with them, I can't see them every day...
1:43:11
It's like someone saying I can't have air.
1:43:14
I can't live without air,
and I can't live without them.
1:43:18
Listen, I would do anything. I just want
to be with them. I know I need that, sir.
1:43:24
We have a history.
1:43:27
And I just... They mean everything to me.
And they need me as much as I need them.
1:43:34
So, please.
1:43:36
Don't take my kids away from me.
1:43:44
Thank you.
1:43:55
Mr Hillard...
1:43:57
You've been able to fool a lot of people into
believing thatyou're a 60-year-old woman.
