00:28Oh, the mail, for you, for me, for whom?
00:32For you.
00:33For whom?
00:34It's official.
00:35Official?
00:36From whom?
00:37It's a clerk of the court Haverville, official business, penalty to void postage, $25.
00:43Here.
00:44What does that do?
00:45It should have something official?
00:46Open, it should have something official.
00:47Open?
00:48Open.
00:49Open.
00:50Open.
00:51Open.
00:52Open.
00:53Open.
00:54Open.
00:55Open.
00:56Open.
00:58It should have something official?
00:59Well, open it, Molly!
01:03Well, maybe something.
01:04Of course it's something!
01:05Open it!
01:07What's the conference?
01:08Nothing.
01:09It's something!
01:10What something?
01:12What happened, bad news?
01:14I don't know, he's here.
01:16Clerk of the court, let's open it!
01:17You open it!
01:18Don't spare me, Jake.
01:26I won't.
01:27It's a notice to appear before the clerk of the court to be examined for jury duty.
01:31That's the official in my court?
01:34Jury duty is an honor, Molly.
01:35I know, but I have to be examined?
01:37Well, it's nothing to worry about.
01:39It's nothing.
01:40Well, if it's an examination, can you imagine?
01:44Where are you going, Molly?
01:46Just to look for a book.
01:48Why do you need a book?
01:49Well, if I'm going to have an examination, I have to study.
01:52For this kind of an examination, you don't have to study, Molly.
01:55No.
01:56Nevertheless, I'm going to look in my civics book.
01:57I want to pass with my colors flying.
02:07Your name Goldberg?
02:09Molly Goldberg.
02:11G.
02:13Middle initial?
02:15I don't have one, I'm sorry.
02:19Age?
02:20Necessary?
02:22For the record, lady, yes.
02:24Well, you see, in my voting ballot, I'm 21 plus.
02:27Is that all right?
02:29Yeah, that'll do.
02:30All right.
02:31Now, do you swear the statements given here before me this day are, to the best of your
02:35knowledge, true, there's a fine of $500 and a year in jail or both?
02:40I swear.
02:41All right.
02:42Just sign your full name.
02:51All right, Mrs. Goldberg, that's all.
02:54Uh, just one question, please.
02:57Yes?
02:58Did I pass?
03:06Sunny side up for me, Rosie.
03:07All right.
03:08Do you want eggs passed?
03:09Scramble me, please.
03:10Well, today's Mama's big day.
03:13Oh.
03:15Molly, a member of a jury can't be late.
03:19Coming.
03:20Coffee, Pa?
03:21Thanks, Sally.
03:23Morning.
03:24Morning, Ma.
03:25Morning, Ma.
03:26You look wonderful, Ma.
03:27Oh, take me, I.
03:28I'm going to be a member of the jury.
03:30Morning, Rosalie dear.
03:31Good morning, Ma.
03:32Good morning.
03:33If it's not irrelevant and if it's not immaterial, and if you have the time, sit down and have
03:36some breakfast.
03:37What's the hilariousness, what?
03:39Oh, it's just fooling, Ma.
03:41Some things in life are not for fooling.
03:43If I was selected and I was picked to be on a jury, I consider it a very important duty.
03:48One little piece of advice can I advise you, Molly?
03:51Why not?
03:52There's a judge and a lawyer for the defense and a lawyer for the state.
03:55They do all the talking and you do the listening.
03:58Don't I know that?
03:59Didn't I see the trial of the Kane mutiny in the movies?
04:01That's all I wanted to say.
04:02Just pay attention to the evidence.
04:04Of course.
04:05Exhibition A and Exhibition B.
04:06It shouldn't only be a murder case.
04:08I'm so allergic to assassination.
04:10How long will it take, Ma?
04:11Will you be home for supper?
04:13That all depends.
04:14What?
04:15If you're not locked in.
04:17Locked in?
04:18The jury can be locked up overnight.
04:20You mean it?
04:21Of course, if they can't reach a verdict.
04:23Ma, it sounds so exciting.
04:25I wish I could go with you.
04:27After you'll be 21, you'll be eligible.
04:29Well, I'm flying.
04:30Goodbye, Rosalie.
04:31Ma, you didn't have any breakfast.
04:32I swallowed a cup.
04:33Bye, Ma.
04:34Bye.
04:35Molly, use your head and leave your heart home.
04:38Remember, Ma.
04:39Quality of mercy is not strained.
04:41It droppeth like the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath.
04:45Don't you recognize the quotation, Molly?
04:47It was written by an old friend of yours.
04:49Who's an old friend of mine?
04:51William Shakespeare.
04:52Say, please.
04:54You!
04:55Daisy!
04:58Daisy?
05:00Yes?
05:02Well, I'm all ready to go to perform my duty.
05:05Well, maybe you can still get out of it.
05:07What do you mean?
05:08Well, I had an uncle once who served on the jury,
05:11and he was so impressed with the law
05:13that he gave up his old business to become a lawyer.
05:16The only case he ever tried was his own.
05:19His wife sued him for non-support.
05:23Well, I was called to do my duty,
05:25and I stand ready and able.
05:27Ma, you're going to be late.
05:28All right.
05:29Daisy, dear, I'm going to leave the key under my front door mat
05:33if anybody should deliver me.
05:35Oh, certainly.
05:36Don't worry about it.
05:37Have you got your smelling salts?
05:39Smelling salts?
05:40For what?
05:41In case you need them.
05:42The details might get gruesome.
05:47Rosalie, get me my smelling salts,
05:50because it's possible it'll be gruesome.
05:59Mr. Newcomb has testified
06:01that he noticed this man,
06:04the defendant,
06:05standing a foot or two away from him.
06:08Suddenly, he became aware that his wallet was leaving him.
06:11He grabbed the defendant
06:12and accused him of taking his wallet.
06:15The defendant has denied it.
06:18But the prosecution will demonstrate
06:20beyond all shadow of a doubt
06:22that this denial is false.
06:25Madam Foreman, gentlemen,
06:29that man is guilty.
06:35You're welcome.
06:37Counsel for the defense,
06:39are you ready for summation?
06:42Ready, Your Honor.
06:47Your Honor, please.
06:52Madam Foreman.
06:53How do you do?
06:55Gentlemen of the jury,
06:56you have listened carefully to the evidence.
07:00I know you are all intelligent enough
07:02to interpret that evidence
07:04and readily form in your own mind
07:06a reasonable doubt in this case.
07:09As the prosecutor told you
07:11when he chose you
07:12and when I chose you,
07:14there is no direct proof
07:17that this man,
07:19Frank Clark, the defendant,
07:21put his hand into that complainant's pocket.
07:24Nothing to that effect whatsoever.
07:27This case is based
07:29on what the prosecutor calls
07:31circumstantial evidence.
07:33I say it is based on innuendo,
07:36inference, suspicion,
07:38each thing based on something else.
07:41The only man who could have testified
07:43to any possession in any way possible
07:46is Officer Leonard
07:48who has truthfully taken the stand
07:51and testified that he was not guilty.
07:54He took the stand
07:56and testified that he was walking
07:58with the defendant,
08:00said, excuse me,
08:02and expectorated.
08:04He also testified
08:06that he had the defendant
08:08under constant observation
08:10and that at no time
08:12did he see the wallet
08:14in the possession of the defendant.
08:16At no time, mind you.
08:18And
08:20at no time
08:22did he see the defendant
08:24throw that wallet into the ash can.
08:26What ash can?
08:28The wallet was found in the ash can, remember?
08:30Now,
08:32what I'm trying to get at
08:34is this.
08:36There are some little things
08:38missing here.
08:42In other words,
08:46there is suspicion.
08:48Suspicion.
08:50But there is
08:52nothing else in this case.
08:54No single shred of evidence
08:56to connect my client,
08:58Frank Clark,
09:00with the disappearance
09:02or the reappearance
09:04of that wallet.
09:06Well,
09:08have you finished?
09:10I think I have,
09:12Your Honor.
09:14Madam Foreman.
09:16Now, members of the jury,
09:19in every criminal case under our jurisdiction,
09:21the defendant is presumed
09:23to be innocent unless
09:25and until the people can
09:27establish his guilt according
09:29to the standards fixed by the law.
09:31Now, what it really means is this.
09:33It establishes
09:35by statute and evidentiary
09:37rule of proof.
09:39It means there is no burden
09:41on any defendant to prove
09:43his innocence. In a criminal
09:45case, the burden always
09:47rests on the people to prove the guilt
09:49of a defendant and to prove
09:51it beyond a reasonable doubt.
09:53And let me say that in this court
09:55all verdicts are unanimous.
09:57That is, all final
09:59verdicts. There's no such thing
10:01as a 10 to 2, 9 to 3,
10:03or 11 to 1 verdict.
10:05So if you find that this defendant
10:07did take that wallet out of the
10:09pocket of the complaining witness,
10:11you ought to convict him of the crime of grand larceny
10:13in the second degree.
10:15If you have a reasonable doubt
10:17that he did, you ought
10:19to acquit him.
10:21Now,
10:23you may retire.
10:257, 8,
10:279,
10:2910, 11.
10:31That's 11 for guilty and 1 for
10:33not guilty, which means that we are
10:35still not unanimous. We're all unanimous
10:37but you...
10:39Why don't you give in?
10:41No, gentlemen, no!
10:43I'll stick to the last stitch
10:45because my doubt is reasonable.
10:47The man's a pickpocket. All the evidence
10:49proves it. Circumstantial.
10:51All circumstantial. From A
10:53to B, circumstantial.
10:55Nobody saw the wallet leave the pocket.
10:57What's the difference?
10:59A seasoned pickpocket's clever.
11:01I don't know. I looked at the gentleman's hands.
11:03They didn't look like a pickpocket's
11:05hands to me. Who knows
11:07what a pickpocket's hands look like? I don't.
11:09Oh, you don't?
11:11Well, my fellow juror,
11:13if you don't, then why do you want to convict?
11:15You can't convict on ignorance.
11:17You heard the counsel for the defense
11:19of dear counsel say that this whole case
11:21was nothing but suspicion, suspicion,
11:23and suspicion. So what does that mean?
11:25That means that there is a question mark
11:27as to the innocence or the guilt of Mr. Clark
11:29and as long as there is a question mark
11:31in my mind, my doubt
11:33will remain reasonable. Who said anything
11:35about a question mark?
11:37So what does a reasonable
11:40doubt mean, my dear fine gentleman?
11:42It means a question mark.
11:44And, gentlemen, this question mark
11:46should be more than just a punctuation mark.
11:48Don't you understand that you are
11:50deciding the innocence or vice versa
11:52of a man, of a gentleman,
11:54of a human being? Listen,
11:56Madam Foreman, you've been gabbing for four hours.
11:58Now let somebody else get a word in edgewise.
12:00Gabbing?
12:02Gabbing? No, my
12:04dear gentleman, not gabbing.
12:06Gabbing is not in my vocabulary.
12:08You heard the dear district attorney
12:10say that this case was circumstantial
12:12and that the people did not make a prima facie case?
12:14Well, if that is the case,
12:16then why didn't anybody see the wallet
12:18leave the pickpocket? And why didn't
12:20they see him take it out of the pocket?
12:22And why didn't they see the wallet go in the ashcan
12:24with the $85? Well,
12:26I say that this is purely circumstantial.
12:28Now, now, you look here,
12:30Madam Foreman, there's nobody
12:32says that you can't convict on circumstantial
12:34evidence. Even I heard the judge say
12:36that you can convict that way if there's no
12:38reasonable doubt. Well, my reasonable
12:40doubt is that the man is innocent. There's never
12:42a conviction on 100% proof.
12:44Well, of course not.
12:50Gentlemen,
12:52citizens, fellow jurors,
12:54lend me your ears.
12:56We didn't come here
12:58to bury the defendant
13:00with circumstantial evidence.
13:02We came here to hand out justice.
13:04And like my son's family said,
13:06the quality of mercy
13:08is not strange.
13:10It falleth like rain from the heavens
13:12underneath and beneath us
13:14all day and day.
13:16It is mightier than the mighty.
13:18It's like a king on a throne.
13:20Listen, lady, I got you.
13:34I'll say you. Do you find the defendant
13:36guilty or not guilty?
13:38Not.
13:40Not what?
13:42Not guilty.
13:44You say, through your poor lady,
13:46you find the defendant not guilty.
13:48And so say you all.
13:50The defendant is discharged.
13:52Court is dismissed.
14:00There's one more free man
14:02walking around the world today.
14:04Brotherly darling,
14:06here, wind my watch
14:08yet it stops. Yes, please.
14:10And there was never a suspicion in your mind
14:12that he was guilty?
14:14Not at all. And you know, Jake,
14:16I was watching his eyes all through the trial.
14:18You know what kind of eyes he had?
14:20What?
14:22Like your eyes.
14:24My eyes?
14:26Blue.
14:28But what I don't understand is
14:31I don't know neither.
14:33But wasn't it part of your duty to have a theory?
14:35Well, the judge didn't say so.
14:37He said that I shouldn't be influenced
14:39and I should only use my own judgment.
14:41Here, Ma. Thank you.
14:43If I had
14:45enough years left, you know what I would do?
14:47What?
14:49You'll laugh if I say it.
14:51You would study law?
14:53I would.
14:55You see, you're laughing and I wouldn't talk.
14:57Oh, no, no, no, Marley.
14:59I had a big responsibility.
15:01What all the graduated lawyers couldn't do,
15:03I did without a diploma.
15:05Eleven of my fellow jurors
15:07all said guilty
15:09and I alone stood for innocence
15:11and brought down the acquittal.
15:13You mean they were all for conviction?
15:15All. All.
15:17My logic sprinkled with
15:19a little mercy and a little
15:21doubt in my heart.
15:23And in your head?
15:25I combined myself, heart and head.
15:27Without the other?
15:29Nothing.
15:31For me, it's too late.
15:33But you still can be a Lady Frankfurter.
15:35No, thanks, Ma.
15:37I have no interest in law.
15:39Why not?
15:41Because I just haven't.
15:43I thought you want Rosie to be just a happy housewife.
15:45That's the garbage truck, Rosalie, darling.
15:47Here, take out the garbage can.
15:49Take this with you.
15:51That's good. Thank you.
15:53The front door bell.
15:55Front door. I'll go, Sister Emily.
15:57Boy, I hope it's Stubby Girl.
15:59My mental facilities are so tired.
16:03One minute.
16:05Hello.
16:07Mr. Clark.
16:09I just had to come up and say thank you again.
16:11Oh, my, come in, come in.
16:13Well, I saw my doozy and I didn't.
16:15Jake.
16:17I want you to meet my husband.
16:19Jake, meet the convict.
16:21Almost.
16:23Sammy Clark is the name.
16:25Oh, how do you do?
16:27Hang, Mr. Clark.
16:29Family, I want you to meet my son, Sammy.
16:31This is Mr. Clark.
16:33Won't you come and sit down, please?
16:35Rosalie, come hither.
16:37It must have been quite a disturbing experience.
16:39It wasn't pleasant.
16:41Yes, Ma.
16:43Rosalie, I want you to meet Mr. Clark.
16:45This is my daughter, Rosalie.
16:47Rosalie, how are you?
16:49You've got a nice family.
16:52A little dessert?
16:54Homemade?
16:56Well, uh...
16:58Mind if I wash my hands?
17:00Not at all.
17:02Family escort Mr. Clark upstairs?
17:04Right this way, Mr. Clark.
17:06Take a clean towel.
17:08All right, Ma.
17:10How did he know our address?
17:12Because I gave it to him.
17:14His eyes are like my eyes.
17:16I fail to see the resemblance.
17:18Very charming, no?
17:20You, Daisy!
17:22Yes?
17:24I'd like you to come over and meet somebody.
17:26Who?
17:28A celebrity.
17:30Oh, I'll be right over.
17:32Come in, Mr. Clark.
17:34Just call me Frank.
17:36Frank, come and sit down.
17:38Right here, please.
17:40Excuse the table.
17:42Rosalie?
17:44Yes, Ma?
17:46Come here, darling.
17:48Oh, Mr. Clark and a cup, yes?
17:50Oh, uh...
17:52You wouldn't have the address of the juror
17:54that's sat on your left, would you?
17:56Oh, I have all the addresses of all the jurors.
17:58And the one on the left, the fourth on the left.
18:00On the left, yes.
18:02And I'll tell you in just a jiffy
18:04the name that I have all the names.
18:06Let me see now.
18:08Would it be Mr., uh...
18:10Mr. Horner?
18:12No, I have Mr. Horner.
18:14Would it be Mr. Jason?
18:16Uh, Fields Jewelry?
18:18Fields Jewelry, that's it.
18:20Yeah, well, that's located
18:22on Elm and Central Avenue.
18:24Keeping the names of all the jurors?
18:26I sure am.
18:28I owe those 12 good people
18:30five years of my life.
18:32I gotta put them on my Christmas list.
18:34You know what it's like,
18:36five years in the pen?
18:38It ain't living in the Waldorf.
18:40DOORBELL RINGS
18:42Hello.
18:44Come in here, Mrs. Carey.
18:48Hello.
18:50This is Mrs. Carey.
18:52I want you to meet Mr. Clark, the convict.
18:54Oh, how do you do?
18:56Oh, you look much better in person.
18:58The picture in the paper didn't do you justice at all.
19:00They never do you justice.
19:02They'd even make him look like
19:04public enemy number one.
19:08Oh, boy.
19:10Sit down, sit down, enjoy it.
19:13Oh, no, I shouldn't.
19:15I can only stay a minute.
19:17My Vienna Worms cake.
19:19Well, just a little piece.
19:21What time is it?
19:23It's 20 minutes after 8.
19:25Oh, thank you.
19:27Come, I'll slice you.
19:29What's your game?
19:31I make wedding gowns.
19:33Oh, that's a good racket.
19:35You must have a lot of people
19:37working for you.
19:39Yes, I have, about 30.
19:41Oh, yes.
19:43Where are you located?
19:45Main and River Street.
19:47I may come up and see you
19:49sometime.
19:51I'm sure I had my wristwatch on.
19:53Well, where is it?
19:55I don't know.
19:57Are you sure you put it on?
19:59Rosalie was winding it up for me.
20:01Did you put it on?
20:03I don't know.
20:05Oh, you must have laid it down somewhere.
20:07Molly, Mr. Clark is enjoying your cake.
20:09Jake,
20:11when Rosalie was winding my clock,
20:13did you see
20:15if she gave it to me?
20:17I think she did.
20:19Why?
20:21I haven't got it.
20:23Well, what did you do with it?
20:25I don't know.
20:27Molly, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
20:29What are you thinking?
20:31A friend, Mr. Clark.
20:33Maybe I dropped it.
20:35I'll go look again.
20:37Remember when we were out in the park
20:39and I broke into a car crash?
20:41Here you are, Mr. Clark.
20:45Some cake, Mrs. Goldberg.
20:47Thank you. I'm glad you like it.
20:49Well, maybe I'd better be leaving.
20:51I don't want to impose on you.
20:53Not at all. Sit down.
20:55Eat your cake.
20:57Another cup of coffee, Rosie.
20:59Mr. Clark, tell my father the story
21:01you just told Rosie and me.
21:03Oh, you know Chicago.
21:05You know Chicago.
21:07You never visit a slaughterhouse.
21:09What's the matter?
21:11My watch.
21:13What do you mean?
21:15I haven't got it.
21:17Well, you had it. Rosie gave it to you.
21:19I know, but now I haven't got it.
21:21Sammy, go next door and call the police.
21:23Call the police?
21:25Maybe we'll wait with the police.
21:27Not at all.
21:29Once he leaves this house,
21:31the guilty man will be at large.
21:34Do you realize what a crime you committed
21:36against society, my dear?
21:38Jake, you think that...
21:40What do you mean, do I think?
21:42One look at the man and I form the conclusion.
21:44Did you ever see a more criminal bone structure?
21:46Well, look at the forehead.
21:48Look how close together his eyes are.
21:50And you said he has my eyes.
21:54Jake, let me take him in the kitchen
21:56and I'll ask him.
21:58And if he has a gun?
22:00There should be a law against women jurists.
22:02Eleven against one, huh?
22:04You did what his own lawyer couldn't do.
22:06Mercy you sprinkled on the blue-eyed bandit
22:08from Chicago.
22:10Jake, I still say it's circumstantial.
22:12If I hear the word circumstantial once again...
22:14All right, you're not circumstantial,
22:16but I still have a reasonable doubt.
22:18Maybe you have a reasonable doubt, not me.
22:20Jake, let me go in and I'll ask him.
22:24Yes, Jake, please.
22:26All right, ask him.
22:28But you wait here. I'll ask him.
22:30Mrs. Carey, won't you be late
22:32for your appointment?
22:34Rosalie, show Mrs. Carey the door.
22:36Yes, Rosalie, come along with me, dear.
22:40Will you have another cup of coffee?
22:42Another piece of cake?
22:44I ain't had this kind of attention
22:46since I was in the hospital.
22:48You were in the hospital?
22:50You see, a person is only a fly.
22:52You said it.
22:54Oh, your life is short.
22:56I'm sorry.
22:58Oh, your life is short.
23:00You gotta take what you can get.
23:02The papers are full of people that took.
23:04To have what isn't yours
23:06is that having?
23:08Talk the way my mother used to talk.
23:10I should have had the good sense
23:12to listen to the old lady
23:14when I come up with a different biography.
23:18Trouble with life is
23:20you learn too late.
23:22What does a child learn
23:24when he's knee-high like a grasshopper?
23:26What, Mr. Clark?
23:28Frank?
23:32Take it.
23:34What is it?
23:36It's a watch.
23:40I'll get your hat and coat.
23:42Jake, don't go to the door yet.
23:44Don't let the police in.
23:46Jake, I have my watch.
23:48Stop protecting him, Molly.
23:50Don't start over the law.
23:52Here's your coat and hat.
23:55And good luck.
23:57Go the kitchen way.
23:59Yes?
24:01Mr. Goldberg, does this watch belong to your wife?
24:03Molly's watch?
24:05I thought it was.
24:07It says, To Molly, with love, Jake.
24:09Molly!
24:11Your watch!
24:13Here.
24:15Thank you very much.
24:17Thank you, sir.
24:19It's a good thing we don't have an incinerator.
24:21He found it in the garbage.
24:23Huh?
24:25Oh, Jake, another watch!
24:31If it wasn't for you,
24:33I'd be doing time.
24:35So here's a token
24:37to remind you of me.
24:39Keep picking.
24:41Love, Frank Clark.
24:43My apologies, Molly.
24:47Apologies accepted.
24:49Court dismissed.
