After careful review
and thorough reflection,
:05:17
I find it impossible to deny the
power of the government's position.
:05:24
There is no doubt in my mind
that District Attorney Holabird,
:05:29
Her Catholic Majesty,
Isabella of Spain,
:05:33
and her trusted minister,
Senor Calderon,
:05:36
have all proceeded
with the utmost faith
:05:39
in the soundness of their case.
:05:45
I also believe
that Senors Ruiz and Montes
:05:50
may have...misrepresented
the origin of the prisoners,
:05:58
an issue which weighs
crucially upon their fate,
:06:01
and that of the Spaniards as well.
:06:10
Were they born in Africa?
:06:19
Since the answer to that question
:06:22
shall govern every determination
of this court, I ask it again.
:06:29
Were they born in Africa?
:06:45
I believe they were.
:06:53
As such, Her Catholic Majesty's
claims of ownership have no merit.
