A Time to Kill Page #3

if you continue in this performance...

...I'll hold you in contempt.

Is that understood?

Yes, sir.

I have no further questions.

Yes.

You say something?

Yes, he did sign a confession.

Objection!

Jurors...

...you will disregard the

last remark of Sheriff Walls.

Court is adjourned till

tomorrow morning, 9:00.

I'm taking Bud back to Oxford.

He always missed Oxford.

I don't know what to say.

There's nothing you can say.

I know you didn't want

any of this to happen...

...but it happened all the same.

You wagered all our lives on this.

You just went ahead and did what you

felt you had to do, no matter what.

Some folks think that's brave.

Not me, Jake.

Now, you may win...

...but I think we've all lost here.

Would you help an old lady to her car?

You don't need any help, Ethel...

...but it would be an honor to

escort you to your automobile.

Didn't like that one?

Buckley presents his shrink tomorrow

and I need a way to bring him down.

I keep asking myself, 'What would

Jake do? What would my father do?'

'Lucien?'

That's your problem right there.

You must ask yourself,

'What would Harry Rex do?'

What would he do?

Cheat.

Cheat like crazy.

We gotta talk about it.

Wait. The judge said absolutely

not to discuss this case.

The judge ain't stuck here

away from his family.

The sooner we start talking

about it, the sooner it's over.

I want to get out of here

as much as anyone else.

Let's get on with it.

Undecided?

Four.

Guilty?

Seven.

Not guilty?

That n*gger's dead.

Folks can't get enough of the trial.

That's why my editor said to come

down and interview Rodeheaver.

Dr. Rodeheaver's in court today.

If you want to be a reporter...

...maybe you should do

some better research?

You know what? I don't mind waiting.

My paper really wants this interview.

Is he still in room 369?

-I'll just go there.

-Wrong again. He's in 128.

But he's gone all day.

You can't see him today.

You want to come back in my office

and schedule an appointment?

I'll come back another time...

...when he's got time to talk,

when things have died down.

-Thank you.

-You can call me any time.

Your Honor, the State

calls Deputy Dwayne Looney.

Good morning.

Would you please state

your name for the record?

Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney.

Thank you, Deputy Looney.

Were you present at the murders of

Billy Ray Cobb and James Lewis Willard?

Yes, sir.

If you can remember...

...describe how you were wounded

for the members of the jury.

I think bullets bounced off the

floor, caught me in the knee.

What happened to your leg?

Doc cut it off.

After the loss of your

right leg, detective...
