prosecutors had one mor witness, a jailhouse snitch. the judge ordered us not t show his face. he testified that one night in jail he and clifford wer watching one of the spanish tv soap opera ironically the plot was a body drug dealer who killed his wif by throwing her off a boat do you remember an englis what he said to you? wow, remind me of what did. it s like a déjà vu. more damning testimony, o was it you are absolutely certai you and mr. friend wer watching that show the defense had done it homework, and was ready to pounce coming up, a son defends th man accused of killing his mother i know that he loves me too much to hurt me by taking my mother from me when dateline continuous.
so that s why it s funny? a sense of humor is different than mine. the judge eliminated th defense from offering a strike smuggling alibis, suggesting i was drugs, not one s body, i the bag clipper dumped still, the defense was able to shoehorn the thought that they were on a drug run that night. sir, [inaudible] to go ru some drugs is that true with nobody ever found, n dna and no physical evidence and clifford friends house t prove when was murdered their, gold couldn t with absolut certainty say that one s bod was in that bag. was in that bag. dy. a body in there? yes or no? it wasn t april fools there was a body but you didn t look in ther to confirm no. no with the state and th defense no resting their cases closing arguments boil down to one thing. would jurors believe allen gold?
dennis murphy (voiceover): and here jurors and told them to just was the big point of the defense s regard the - and here is the big point o the judges newly - the judges newly - jurors, if the state would that was their whole key, was on a big fat liar like the to try and say if they put on one liar, snitch, what did that say abou allen goals, the star witness? prosecutors were concerned that was their whole key. to say if they put one liar, they put on another. the defense would put some - gold was a liar, also. and the reason that he decided to tell prosecutors what the wanted to hear was that he was afraid of bein charged with murder, to. i didn t whack the broad. so, i don t kill her you didn t whack the broad? you didn t whack the broad? i watch the sopranos a lot. it didn t take much proddin to show the court just how little respect gold had for th entire proceeding. do you think this is comical? absolutely. why is that, sir? it took 20 years to get here
the defense was behind on points after allen gold spun a hypnotic story about helping his friend, clifford friend, dumping his wife s body in the atlantic ocean one person wasn t convinced. christian friend, the boy wh lost his mother the age of five listen to two weeks of damning evidence that his father kille her. every night he came hom feeling more and more confiden that his father was innocent was innocent. not getting shaky about it oh, he wasn t shaky at all. did you have any moment where you wavered, janet never while his son and wif believed in him, how would the defense get the jury to believ its case an excellent place to start wa the jailhouse snitch he told that damaging stor about him and clifford watchin the spanish tv soap opera, i l had capital, about a wif murdering drug dealer. clifford allegedly flooded out i did that you can t make this up. yes, you can t in fact, it turns out he did
