Sheriff here in Manzana County. 5 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,200 How do you do, Sheriff? 6 00:00:33,380 --> 00:00:37,840 Subpoena. to appear and testify in the case of the people versus Harry Barlow. 7 00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:40,260 Moving a little fast for me, friend. 8 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,840 I just came in from out of state to meet a client, Mr. 9 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,460 Dobby Dobson. He was supposed to meet me here at the airport. 10 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:46,920 He won't be here. Let's go. 11 00:00:47,220 --> 00:00:53,040 I received a special delivery letter last night in Los Angeles. 12 00:00:53,340 --> 00:00:57,800 There was a $1 ,000 cash advance in it, a round -trip ticket to Manzana, and a 13 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,540 note from a man I never met, a desperate man asking me for help. 14 00:01:00,990 --> 00:01:04,930 Well, the letter was from the district attorney. The cash is your expert's fee 15 00:01:04,930 --> 00:01:05,930 for testifying. 16 00:01:06,330 --> 00:01:09,550 You can't subpoena out of state, you know. The DA couldn't risk your 17 00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:13,970 I came here to meet Mr. Dobby Dobson. I don't leave until I see him. 18 00:01:14,730 --> 00:01:16,150 Well, you may have a long wait. 19 00:01:16,830 --> 00:01:21,310 The man at whose trial you're supposed to testify, Harry Barlow, is charged 20 00:01:21,310 --> 00:01:22,890 the murder of Dobby Dobson. 21 00:01:24,870 --> 00:01:27,290 Is this your DA's idea of some kind of a joke? 22 00:01:29,010 --> 00:01:30,350 Well, you're here, aren't you? 23 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:58,660 Mr. Mannix, so that the court will know that you are an expert witness, would 24 00:02:58,660 --> 00:03:00,380 you please state... If the court please. 25 00:03:01,020 --> 00:03:02,040 Yes, Miss Richards. 26 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,280 Your Honor, defense stipulates acceptance of Mr. Mannix as an expert 27 00:03:06,740 --> 00:03:07,740 Thank you, Counsel. 28 00:03:08,260 --> 00:03:09,700 Let the record so indicate. 29 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,960 You may proceed, Mr. Bartlett. 30 00:03:12,620 --> 00:03:13,620 Thank you, Your Honor. 31 00:03:14,620 --> 00:03:19,340 Mr. Mannix, it is an accepted scientific fact in the field of criminology, is it 32 00:03:19,340 --> 00:03:24,110 not? Professional criminals tend to limit their activities to special kinds 33 00:03:24,110 --> 00:03:27,450 crimes, special methods used in committing these crimes. 34 00:03:27,650 --> 00:03:31,350 In short, they develop a pattern in relation to the crime. 35 00:03:31,850 --> 00:03:34,210 Modus operandi, a method of operation. 36 00:03:34,490 --> 00:03:35,249 Isn't that correct? 37 00:03:35,250 --> 00:03:36,870 Yes, referred to as an M .O. 38 00:03:39,750 --> 00:03:43,770 Now, I have here three police photographs. 39 00:03:44,990 --> 00:03:47,850 People's Exhibits 6 through 8. 40 00:03:49,130 --> 00:03:52,670 illustrating the pattern of a specific burglary. 41 00:03:53,170 --> 00:03:57,830 Now, Mr. Mannix, where there is a burglary, where the glass from a rear 42 00:03:57,830 --> 00:04:02,190 is cut and a rubber suction cup is used to remove the glass, 43 00:04:02,410 --> 00:04:09,310 and where the burglar uses white gloves, cheap white gloves, to 44 00:04:09,310 --> 00:04:12,930 cover his fingerprints, and then he leaves the gloves at the scene of the 45 00:04:13,070 --> 00:04:17,810 and where distinctive drill patterns are used, here. 46 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:24,560 to insert TNT into the safe, and where foam rubber is used to deaden the 47 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,560 explosion. 48 00:04:26,180 --> 00:04:30,320 Would you say, Mr. Mannix, that from this method of operation, you could 49 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,940 identify the probable burglar as one that you previously had apprehended and 50 00:04:34,940 --> 00:04:37,640 caused to be brought to justice for the crime of burglary? 51 00:04:38,180 --> 00:04:41,860 Objection, Your Honor. The prosecution may not introduce evidence of a prior 52 00:04:41,860 --> 00:04:45,440 criminal act for the express purpose of discrediting the defendant's character. 53 00:04:46,580 --> 00:04:47,580 Your Honor. 54 00:04:47,900 --> 00:04:51,580 The question is not an issue of character, but rather the method of 55 00:04:51,580 --> 00:04:54,900 a burglary. The defendant is on trial for murder, not for burglary. 56 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:01,140 Murder committed during a burglary. In this case, two inseparable crimes. 57 00:05:01,660 --> 00:05:05,440 The district attorney means two answers to one question. 58 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,680 One question raises the probability that if the defendant committed a prior 59 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,300 burglary, then perhaps he committed this one. 60 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,680 And if he committed this burglary, then chances are that he also committed the 61 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,220 murder. When an expert witness identifies a probable burglar from his 62 00:05:22,220 --> 00:05:25,720 operation, then simultaneously he identifies the murderer. 63 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,400 I assume both counsels are arguing this legal point for the benefit of the 64 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:37,340 bench. Your Honor, the evidence to be adduced is totally inadmissible. Not 65 00:05:37,340 --> 00:05:39,780 the answer, but the question itself is highly prejudicial. 66 00:05:40,330 --> 00:05:43,030 The defense moves these proceedings be declared a mistrial. 67 00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:46,590 Your motive is good, Miss Richards, but your law is wrong. 68 00:05:47,050 --> 00:05:48,690 Your Honor... Motion denied. 69 00:05:49,150 --> 00:05:52,050 Objection overruled. But, Your Honor... 70 00:05:52,050 --> 00:05:58,350 Now, Mr. Maddox, 71 00:05:58,410 --> 00:06:04,770 from this method of operation, this modus operandi, this M .O., could you 72 00:06:04,770 --> 00:06:06,650 identify the probable burglar? 73 00:06:06,870 --> 00:06:10,660 Yes. And in all your years of investigating, have you ever seen a 74 00:06:10,660 --> 00:06:11,740 operation like this before? 75 00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:14,440 Yes. In more than one person? 76 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,000 No. Now, isn't this true, Mr. Mannix, that seven years ago you represented an 77 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,980 insurance company, and during that time you investigated, pursued, and 78 00:06:23,980 --> 00:06:26,380 apprehended a burglar with this method of operation? 79 00:06:26,940 --> 00:06:27,919 Yes, I did. 80 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,820 And is that man in this courtroom? 81 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,260 Yes. And would you point him out, please? 82 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,600 The gentleman sitting at the table. 83 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,680 Let the record show that the expert witness is identifying the defendant, 84 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:41,680 Barlow. 85 00:06:50,820 --> 00:06:52,080 Further questions, Your Honor? 86 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,100 The defense may cross -examine. 87 00:06:56,420 --> 00:06:58,280 I have no questions, Your Honor. 88 00:06:58,580 --> 00:07:00,080 May I please approach the bench? 89 00:07:01,540 --> 00:07:02,740 Yes, Miss Richards. 90 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:11,960 Mr. Bartlett? 91 00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:18,380 Yes, Miss Richards? 92 00:07:18,660 --> 00:07:22,540 With the court's permission, I respectfully request to retire from this 93 00:07:23,260 --> 00:07:26,680 As the court appointed me, it can appoint substitute counsel for the 94 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:27,680 defendant. 95 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:29,740 Why, Miss Richards? 96 00:07:31,740 --> 00:07:36,040 This is my first appearance in court as an attorney in a criminal case. 97 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,840 If I keep... Making mistakes about the law, I can only lose a case, but the 98 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,540 defendant could lose his life. 99 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,260 You've placed his life in my hands, and it would seem that they are not 100 00:07:46,260 --> 00:07:47,260 competent hands. 101 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,160 It takes a great deal of courage to make an admission like that, Miss Richards. 102 00:07:53,620 --> 00:07:59,160 The same kind of courage that made your late father, Jack Richards, one of the 103 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,960 finest trial lawyers in this state. 104 00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:02,840 For his sake. 105 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,740 For your own sake. 106 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:07,960 I want you to think this over. 107 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,160 The defense is granted a 24 -hour continuance. 108 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,460 Court adjourned. 109 00:08:28,780 --> 00:08:30,040 I'm very sorry. 110 00:08:42,380 --> 00:08:43,960 She doesn't want to talk to you, even off the stand. 111 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,900 I called and made a reservation for you on the next plane back to L .A. 112 00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:50,220 You can just make it if I drive you to the airport now. 113 00:08:50,700 --> 00:08:51,700 Thanks, Sheriff. 114 00:08:52,260 --> 00:08:53,980 It is a little chilly here in Manzana. 115 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,000 That lady lawyer's old man, Big Jack Richards, ever known him? 116 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:07,820 I've seen him in court once or twice. 117 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,320 Mr. Advocate. 118 00:09:09,860 --> 00:09:10,860 Fighter?

He was the kind you took your hat off to even while he was beating the tar 120 00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:16,660 right out of you, which was mostly all of the time. 121 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,620 In fact, he never once lost a criminal case. 122 00:09:21,620 --> 00:09:23,380 That's more than he'll be able to say for his daughter. 123 00:09:23,780 --> 00:09:27,780 Yeah, it's a shame. The girl lives only for the memory of her father while 124 00:09:27,780 --> 00:09:29,100 they're loading the plane. 125 00:09:30,180 --> 00:09:32,500 Have a nice trip and no hard feelings. 126 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,860 My usual expert witness fee is $300 for the day. 127 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,900 You can return the balance to the DA. 128 00:09:43,820 --> 00:09:47,140 I changed my mind.

Keep this out of the paper. 164 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:31,840 It's bad for business. 165 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,280 Put you away once, Harry. You keep that Colorado face of yours shut now, and I'm 166 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,280 going to put you away for good. 167 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,360 Now, were you in on that Dobson heist? 168 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,800 I...
