held that boy back. He killed them.

You watched him kill these kids?

I'll tell you the truth, ma'am.

Me and Carl were loaded on downs,

acid, booze when this happened.

I hadn't slept in two nights.

I was out of my head.

But I didn't kill them.

I didn't kill nobody.

I swear to God I didn't.

Ali.

- Ali?

- Her name.

She's cute.

Yeah, she's 11 or 12, I don't know.

She was born first time

I was in prison. I seen her once.

When was that?

When she was 3.

- Do you write her?

- I don't know where she is.

She's in Texas somewhere.

Foster parents.

Go on and finish up now, Sister.

Look.

They're about to go

on a killing spree here.

They're zapping

this guy Tobias tonight.

Guards are taking bets on who's next.

I'm at even odds. It's not good.

I got two chances: a pardon board

or a federal appeals court.

I wrote the motion on the appeal,

but I need someone to file it.

Can you help me with that?

You know how to write a motion?

You got no choice,

you learn the law real fast.

Call it special motivation.

I've been on death row six years.

I studied every law book

I could get my hands on.

I got this stuff about my case:

trial transcripts, legal papers.

They might help you get

ahold of my case faster.

You drop a dime and get a lawyer,

we can file a motion for appeal.

- You ain't coming back.

- Are these your only copies?

No, but they're hard to come by.

I don't want to waste them.

I'll do my best.

And I appreciate your trust.

I'll tell you,

I don't trust nobody in here.

But you don't kiss my ass or preach

that hellfire brimstone crap.

I respect that.

You got guts.

You live in a neighborhood

with every n*gger carrying a gun.

Come on, Helen, hit it!

Playing possum, huh?

Think you can trick us,

you dumb animal?

Think you can fool us?

How fast was I going?

- Seventy-five miles an hour, ma'am.

- Wow.

- You a nun?

- Yes, sir.

Never gave a ticket to no nun before.

Gave a ticket to a guy

from the IrS one time.

Got audited the next year.

Tell you what, Sister,

I'll let this slide.

- But keep your speed down.

- Yes, sir.

On Friday night, Walter Delacroix,

age 17, and Hope Percy, 18...

...had been two happy people

celebrating a life-turning point.

They were shot twice at close range in

the back of the head with a .22 rifle.

In addition to murder, Poncelet

and Vitello face six counts...

...of aggravated kidnapping

and one charge of aggravated rape.

-- handcuff the man and molest--

-- four weeks before the murder

the two men allegedly cut...

...a wide path of terror

across the area.

A police spokesman said today,

in the wake of the murders--

Poncelet addressed

the judge as "Cap"...

...and smirked when they found him
