1:05:00
and now he's confronted
with a situation
1:05:02
where Long Island knows
1:05:03
that his father admitted
his guilt
1:05:07
and there's a reasonable
human expectation
1:05:09
of some people that,
you know
1:05:12
where there's smoke,
there's fire.
1:05:13
And if he did it,
maybe his son did it.
1:05:15
We know he was
in the same class
1:05:17
and he was helping his father.
1:05:19
So I think that
was a difficult thing
1:05:21
for Jesse to
have to overcome.
1:05:45
I always believed Jesse.
1:05:48
How could this possibly
go on for 4 years
1:05:51
children repeatedly sodomized
and sexually abused
1:05:56
with brutality
if you believe the police.
1:05:59
And then their parents come
to pick them up
1:06:00
right after computer class
and not one kid is crying
1:06:04
not one kid tells
his mother or father
1:06:05
what happened in class
1:06:07
not one kid says anything?
1:06:09
I find that so incredible
1:06:11
that Jesse's story
that nothing happened
1:06:13
to me was more believable
than the police version
1:06:16
of these horrific acts.
1:06:23
Jesse and I went
1:06:25
we flew in August of 1988
1:06:28
all the way
to Madison, Wisconsin
1:06:31
where we rented a car
and drove 90 miles
1:06:35
to some town that I couldn't
possibly give you the name of
1:06:38
to a federal prison.
1:06:40
Who knew more about this case
then Arnold Friedman?
1:06:42
He knew more about
it than Jesse.
1:06:44
I had to wait 40 minutes
1:06:47
because Arnie was either
playing tennis or golf
1:06:51
I don't remember what it was.
1:06:52
I was outraged.
1:06:55
It was a visiting room.
1:06:58
Jesse was out in the waiting
room at this point
