:42:05
They said that he died
of pneumonia.
:42:08
They SAID.
:42:15
What is the relevance of this?
:42:16
What is the relevance of this?
:42:18
So Ralph Ferguson
is a Sunday school teacher.
:42:20
I don't know, counsel, what
you're asking is highly unusual.
:42:24
I understand that, Your Honour.
:42:25
Again, I need to put
a face to the victim.
:42:29
Uh, otherwise, he's just
another name in the obituaries.
:42:33
Mr Snyder, any objections?
:42:37
I don't have a problem with it.
:42:38
The prosecution would like
to call Ralph Ferguson.
:43:08
Good morning, Mr Ferguson.
:43:09
Good morning.
:43:10
I'd like to thank you
for coming.
:43:12
I realize, for you,
this has been a long trip.
:43:14
I'm just sorry it had to be
for something like this.
:43:17
You and the victim Sean Nokes
were such good friends -
:43:20
your testimony as a character
witness will be very valuable.
:43:22
We were great friends. It would
be hard to find a better friend.
:43:26
Would you say you were
his best friend?
:43:28
I was his closest,
that's for sure.
:43:30
How long
did you know each other?
:43:32
Uh, about 17, 18 years.
:43:35
And did you see
each other often?
:43:37
As often as we could.
:43:38
Weekends, holidays,
vacations - things like that.
:43:43
What kind of man was Sean Nokes?
:43:45
He was a good man.
He was too good to be shot dead
:43:48
by a couple of street punks.
:43:49
Objection. Statement is one
of opinion, not fact.
:43:52
He was asked his opinion.
:43:53
Overruled. Please proceed.
:43:57
Mr Ferguson...
:43:59
were you aware of any enemies
he might have had?
