Just Cause Page #3

takes a dislike to you...

...your ass is his.

He's a n*gger who likes being a big fish...

He's black?

Yes.

In the new South, they've got black cops

to torment your black ass.

It's called affirmative action.

Tell me about your confession.

My confession?

I was slapped.

I was punched.

Beaten with a phone book.

Made to piss myself, kicked.

Then Officer Brown...

...walked in.

Tanny, wait.

J.T., I need you to back me up

on this one here.

Pretty Robert Earl.

I want to ask you...

Last time.

I told you. I swear.

I don't know this girl.

I have no reason to lie. I don't know her.

Come on, talk to me.

Come on, stop.

What did you say to her?

How'd you get her in the car? Say, "Ah."

Talk to me.

Talk to me.

I hate pretty motherfuckers like you.

I don't know no Joanie Shriver.

Pretty motherf***er, talk to me.

Ain't so pretty now, are you?

They had me in there 22 hours.

No food, no water, no sleep.

No bathroom.

You drove her...

...to an isolated section of the Everglades...

...approximately two and a half miles

southeast of her home.

Yes.

Did you drive her to that location...

...with the full intent to kidnap, rape...

...sodomize and kill her?

Speak into the microphone.

Yes.

You feel better now, don't you?

You're a strange fruit, Robert Earl.

Strange fruit, indeed.

I'd have confessed to anything.

They spoon-fed me to the Row.

It's your word against theirs.

I didn't do it.

She's a pretty thing, but you couldn't tell it

when they brought her in.

Bobby Earl was a very angry boy.

Parts of her chest and abdomen were

so badly damaged...

...hard to tell how many times

she was stabbed.

The cuts were...

...long, shallow at the ends,

deep in the middle.

The wounds curved upward.

- A half-moon shape.

- Like a scimitar?

Yeah.

But miniature.

I'd say six inches, hilt to tip.

Your autopsy report...

...states that the girl was raped.

But there's no record of any semen.

There wasn't any.

There wasn't?

No. She was penetrated.

With no semen, how did you establish

the O-positive blood?

We got that from the teeth and gums.

You said you examined Bobby Earl's hand...

...and found cuts that could be attributed

to teeth marks.

That's right.

You never matched the dental plate

to the cuts.

I didn't need to, once he confessed.

Did you know he was beaten for 22 hours

before he gave his confession?

So he says.

The cuts on his hand could have been

from the beating.

How convenient.

Armstrong?

Yes.

I'm Detective Wilcox.

Spoke on the phone about hooking up

with Tanny Brown?

Yes. J.T. Wilcox.

That's right.

Tanny said he'd hook up with you

this afternoon if you're still around.

Anything I can do?
