Quote context

[...]

- Gentlemen, you have heard all the witnesses, and now you know the facts.

- Or shall we say, the so-called facts? For it must be obvious that a great deal of this testimony reeks of prejudice.

- Our community is predominantly northern in its sympathies. Yet, the defendant is a southerner.

- He happens to believe in the sovereignty of the south. Believes in it so fervently, that he fought with hale over the issue.

- Yet, it is his privilege to hold to that belief.

- It is not within your power to bring Hale back to life.

- But it is within your power, by ruling out that prejudice to which I have referred to and by rendering the proper verdict, to give life back to this boy.

- Look at him, gentlemen. Look at his sister and his father. None deplore the spilling of blood more than they do.

- Their hearts are full of compassion for the family of the deceased.

- They are ready and eager to make whatever amends lie within their power.

I bet you used to ask that question when you were little girl, in just that same tone, when you found all the presents under the Christmas tree.

I've had you in my barber chair day after day, and many's the time I've wanted to slit your fool throat from ear to ear.

I'll show you fellas more liquor than you ever saw before.
