:28:08
People can say whatever they
want in this courtroom!
:28:11
Quiet!
:28:15
Any more of that nonsense...
:28:18
...and you're all out of here!
:28:22
Mr. Buckley, you may begin.
:28:25
Thank you, Your Honor.
:28:28
Please state your name and occupation
for the members of the jury.
:28:32
My name is Dr. Wilbert Rodeheaver,
Chair of Psychiatry...
:28:37
...at Mississippi State...
:28:38
...and Director of the Whitfield
Facility for the Criminally lnsane.
:28:44
Your credentials speak for themselves.
:28:47
Can you explain, as you do so
eloquently in your book...
:28:52
...the McNaughton Rule for the jury?
:28:54
Certainly.
:28:55
The McNaughton Rule states...
:28:57
...a person must be unable
to tell right from wrong...
:29:01
...and/or be unaware of the
consequences of his actions...
:29:06
...to be termed legally insane.
:29:08
You examined Mr. Hailey?
:29:10
Yes, Mr. Hailey and I spoke about
his childhood, his family...
:29:14
...his experiences during the war.
:29:17
And the rape of his daughter?
:29:19
Yes, we spoke at length about the
brutal rape of his daughter Tonya.
:29:24
What is your diagnosis of
Mr. Hailey's mental condition...
:29:28
...on the day that he shot Billy
Ray Cobb and James Lewis Willard?
:29:32
At the time of the murders, his mental
condition was without any defects.
:29:37
Mr. Hailey was sane.
:29:39
Wait a minute. The defense contends--
:29:42
Mr. Brigance has gone to great
effort to prove to this jury...
:29:46
...that Mr. Hailey is a nutball...
:29:48
...is a slow coach...
:29:51
...or...
:29:52
...what is the clinical definition?
:29:54
Insane.
:29:58
-Do you disagree?
-Yes!
