:51:01
a menace to society.
:51:03
He's been in and out
of jail his whole life.
:51:06
A criminal.
He's a violent man.
:51:08
His whole life
has been violence.
:51:11
And it is our duty,
Your Honor,
:51:13
to continue to protect
the general public
from such a man.
:51:18
Thank you.
:51:27
I've heard
your statements.
:51:30
I'll take them
under consideration.
:51:32
Now, is there anything else
that counsel wishes to add...
:51:37
before l make
my final ruling ?
:51:40
What are you doing ?
I wanna say something.
:51:42
What are you
gonna say ?
I wanna--
I need to say something.
:51:46
Your Honor,
my-- my client,
:51:48
Mr. Carter,
wishes to address the Court.
:51:53
Request granted.
:51:55
Thank you,
Your Honor.
:52:00
I was a, um,
:52:03
prizefighter.
:52:07
My job was to...
:52:10
take all the hatred...
:52:12
and skill that
I could muster,
:52:15
and send a man
to his destruction.
:52:18
And l did that.
:52:22
But Rubin "Hurricane" Carter
is no murderer.
:52:28
Twenty years I've spent
locked up in a cage...
:52:31
considered a danger
to society.
:52:36
Not treated
like a human being.
:52:38
Not treated
like a person.
:52:41
Counted 15 times a day.
:52:46
I serve my time
in a house of justice,
:52:49
and yet, there's
no justice for me.
:52:53
So, l ask you...
:52:55
to consider the evidence.
:52:58
Don't turn away
from the truth.
