:33:01
...are you Carl Lee Hailey?
:33:05
I am holding a copy of an indictment...
:33:07
...returned by the grand jury...
:33:10
...presenting that "Carl Lee Hailey...
:33:13
...did murder Billy Ray
Cobb, a human being...
:33:17
...and James Willard, a human being...
:33:19
...and did attempt to kill
Dwayne Looney...
:33:22
...a peace officer...
:33:23
...against the peace and
dignity of Mississippi."
:33:27
Do you understand the
charges against you?
:33:31
How do you wish to plead?
:33:35
Not guilty.
:33:38
The defense enters a plea of not
guilty by reason of insanity.
:33:41
Your trial is set for July 22.
:33:44
All pre-trial motions and matters should
be filed by July 8. Anything further?
:33:49
Yes.
:33:50
The State requests the defendant
be examined by its own doctors.
:33:55
Granted.
:33:56
Additionally, the State
opposes any request for bail.
:33:59
We have not yet asked for bail.
Now Governor Buckley...
:34:03
...cannot oppose a
request until one is made.
:34:06
Your Honor...
:34:08
...even Mr. Brigance's meager legal
experience should have taught him...
:34:12
...l haven't been
elected governor, yet...
:34:14
...and he is required to request bail.
:34:18
The State opposes any request.
:34:19
In the future, why don't we
wait till he makes the request.
:34:23
Thank you.
:34:24
We would like to request bail.
:34:26
Denied.
:34:28
I never allow bail...
:34:30
...in a murder case and don't feel
an exception is called for today.
:34:34
Good enough. We will be
filing for a change of venue.
:34:38
I anticipated this.
:34:39
Let me save you some time.
Your motion is denied.
:34:44
We have not yet filed.
:34:46
We are simply indicating our
intent to file in writing--
:34:50
I said, "Request denied."
:34:53
Your Honor...
:34:54
...how can you summarily
deny this request?
:34:58
It is quite clear that Carl Lee Hailey
cannot receive a fair trial in Canton.
