to my office for help.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
No, but I got my sympathy dog.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
It was all Carpass, Dick Cappas day.
Speaker 8 (03:42):
He lives in the shack on the river bottom. Kiddy
hunts a little trap. Some keeps pretty much two.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So that's wrong. What a bullet wound? You mean? Nobody
was shot this afternoon. You didn't tell me about it.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
I didn't see it was important, was the Carpus though
he is he nick when he broken up when he
left Doc.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
With you, please, I recommend living alone that way without
any human friends.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Can get pretty fond of an old hound dog.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
A dog, I guess I didn't forget to mention. It
was that old spotted hound dog here that was shot.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
He you know kidding?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah, sad. Do you think maybe you can get by
till payday to that dollar?
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Forget a chesty?
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Yes, forget it.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
None, No use looking at me, chesty.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I was just thinking your dog. Did Karpas have any
idea who shot his dog?
Speaker 8 (04:41):
If he did, he wasn't hand, but from the look
on his face when he walked out and I'm glad
it wasn't me.
Speaker 9 (04:47):
You know, why would anybody do a thing like that?
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Well, I don't know. It's too bad, but there's nothing
much done about it.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I think maybe I better ride out there in the morning.
I have a talk with Carus.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
What fool?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
This wouldn't be the first time that a dog getting killed?
How would finally lead to a man getting killed?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Warning?
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Warning here?
Speaker 6 (05:23):
What's the matter?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Well?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I have a warning for all eligible dependents seeking medical
care at government expense.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
From civilian sources. But all right, already, be.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Sure the physician and hospital are participating in the Medicare.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Program before beginning treatment.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Pus, all my dependents have checked. Now they should make
sure they use their ID card to obtain only that
medical care to which they are entitled. Misuse of the
ID card is punishable by a fine of up to
ten thousand dollars or imprisonment of up to five years.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
For a couple of as friends.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Don't take chances.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Read the pamphlet Dependence Medical Care Program.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Oh no, that's what I call scare advertising.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Shack looks deserted, mister Jong.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Maybe old carpet has gone off some horse and.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
There's somebody cutting wood over there in the drawer.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Let's leave our horses here.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
The lean to a Chester, right, I'd have to be
a little outcheater.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I want to live out here all along.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Maybe it's not a matter of choice.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
No company except for dog, no neighbors for ten miles
or more.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
That's not quite that Farid Rammer's got a home steps
up two miles north of here.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Maybe he shot that Hemmet's younge.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Why do you say that?
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Oh, I don't know, but.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Folks mostly leaves old carpets to yourself.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah, no, old it there.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Right where you are.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
It's you take it easy, Chester, Who is it? Peak
up there? It's Matt Dylan Carpers and Chester. Hey, you
better about that rifle down? Oh well, I didn't recognize
your boy. Sho my eyes what they used to be?
I thought maybe it was who he thought?
Speaker 5 (07:49):
What?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Well? I I just didn't know. You may have thought
it might be whoever shut your dog? Huh? Oh, dark
told you about that. I'm sorry to hear it comes.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
I'd had Danny boy eleven years, Marshall.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
He was going blind pretty near bad as me, and.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
They sure weren't no use to hunt with no more.
But I'll say one thing, Marshall, I'd give him my
right arm rather than lose that hound.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I reckon. Folks should call it crazy, but that's how
I felt eleven alone. I guess a man learns to
appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Thought well, he understood every word that was said to him,
just as good as you were me. By evenings, we'd
sit there in my shock, and I'd talk to him,
and well, we won't be doing.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
That no more. Now what do you think shot him?
Let's walk back up to the shack, Marshall. They's getting
my cold standing here.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
Now he look beyond her. He goes a rabbit, look
a dead and pool run? Is he sure statch and
grab him?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Danny boy had been after him like a shot eat
a lot right off, but he'd sure give it a
cry lebbitch, I hold the.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Prey, chickens.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
You chaste anything to.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Move blundering along, blinds a bat, vain his lungs out carpas.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
You have any idea why anybody want to shoot it?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Because they're playing low down me. That's why there ain't
no other reason for doing things like that.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Come on inside, all right, ain't.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Nothing fancy, but it keeps the weather off.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
There's some coffee going here in.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
A couple of minutes.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Marshall, if you're your mind, you said.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
The spell, don't go.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I want to bother on our account.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Oh god, it's no bothered.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Just a few more logs in here.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
I ain't sure I can scare up three months though.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
It's kind of unusual having callers here, folks.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Oh, exactly, like I had the plague or something. Well.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Uh, people get caught up in their own troubles. I
guess carbas just get too busy sometimes to be neighbor.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
A man can get lonesome. Marshall, Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Uh, Pet Raymer and his missus ever dropped by here.
No never, why'd you find the dog after he'd been
a shot? I didn't find him, you found me. He's
come dragging himself back here to the cabin. I rushed
him right in the dock.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
But it was too late, and you don't know where
it happened. Then, Yes, I know.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I followed this trail back this morning. It was on
a brushy draw about a mile from here.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I told the place you know, more.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Or less, I'll take care of it.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Marshall, Do you just stay out of it? Laws for
people and not for dumb animals. Your dog wasn't shot
by a dumb animal. Carpets. I'll settle it in my
own way. And you know who did it.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I know all right now.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
See they pay for it too, that kind of pay
before it gets out of hands.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Sometimes I'm the one that suffered the loss. It's my concern,
not I'm right here.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Somebody's out there in the yard.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
You hear me.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Get up.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Now. It seems like one of your neighbors has finally
come calling on your covers. Another visit with Joe and
(11:41):
deafne foresight.
Speaker 9 (11:44):
Oh Joe, shoe.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Shoe, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm up. I'm up. I forget breakfast.
I'll shave at work. Joe, it's not time to go
to work. Then, why did you wake me up?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
You snoring?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Ah? You was snoring loud? Oh really, I just wanted
to quiet you. I thought I was quiet.
Speaker 10 (12:07):
You sounded like a buzz saw going through a pine.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Not pretty good? Pretty good. I wish I could be
with you at two thirty in the morning. You can
go back to sleep now, God gee, thanks.
Speaker 10 (12:18):
You get a good night's sleep too. Our savings bonds
will protect us.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Huh.
Speaker 10 (12:23):
They protect us the money we investors used to protect
our country.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
And it's freedoms.
Speaker 10 (12:28):
Why all around us we can see the safeguards that
our bonds are paid for. Oh so you see when
you buy that savings bond with every paycheck, you're really
investing in a secure night's sleep.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Not in this house. I'm not good night, Daphne, good
night you. That's Pete Raymond out there. Marshall.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
You heard me, you man? You alwa, he's out come
on out here. He's aiming to kill me.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
But why I don't rightly know that he fired a
bullet through the wind that didn't need.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
All right, cap, I just stand away from the door.
You to a Chester rammer, smart Dylan, you'll hold of fire.
I'm coming out.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
I didn't know you was in there, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I guess you didn't.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
M I understand I was naming to shoot nobody.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
That's uh. He's trying to throw a scared into him
into old carpris. I mean, bring him to his senses.
Maybe has he been out of his senses? Well, he
sure act like it. Marsha. You know what he'd done
this morning? He tried to shoot my kid's dog snuck
(14:16):
up through the brush, took a shot at her son.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
He's seen him do it. Any idea of what had
caused him to do a thing with him? Dang, he
just crazy, he reckon. He always been might touch you
know that. That's why folks around here just stay shy
of him. That might work both ways? How's that be?
In lonesome acting strange? They kind of go together sometimes.
(14:42):
Maybe you're the one who shut his dog. Who if
he says that he's a liar, I ain't even seen
that old hound for a week.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Didn't know he was shocked till you told me.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Anybody says I'd done that, he is a liar, I say,
you got it?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
You you calling me?
Speaker 6 (15:03):
Calling you anything you are to Marshall, he said, what
he told you that I killed his dog?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Oh, he didn't tell me anything. He said he'd take
care of it himself.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Yes, and I will too. That's what you were doing,
sneaking around my place. And I very high the tooth
for too. It's law the script, all right, you just
take warning for me. Right now. I catch you around
my place one more.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Time, I'm gonna put a bullet in.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
You too bad. He shot myself shot.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
It's like I told you, compass. This way of paying
for things comes high sometimes.

Danny boy was the only thing I had in the world.

(21:04):
According to Thomas Jefferson, equal justice to all men, regardless
of their political or religious beliefs, is an essential principle
of our political philosophy. The Amendments to our Constitution spell
out what we mean by justice. For example, no one
can conduct an unreasonable search of our homes or businesses,
(21:25):
or seize any of our belongings. We can't be held
for a capital or infamous crime unless we are first
indicted by a grand jury, and we are entitled to
a speedy and a public trial by an impartial jury.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
The accused has a right to confront.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
The witnesses against him, and he can force witnesses who
could aid his case to testify.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Of course, he.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Cannot be made to testify against himself. He is entitled
to the help of a lawyer, and he cannot be
deprived of life, liberty, or property without due.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Process of law.
Speaker 1 (22:01):

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Maybe he's lucky man, Forget it matters.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Just one of those nights, my guess, Dad want a drink? Help?
Speaker 3 (03:08):

Speaker 5 (03:11):
I'll have one anyway.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Liza won't do them any harms.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Okay, Oh well.
Speaker 7 (03:17):
I see the Marshall of Dodge is out crowsing again.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Hi doc, Oh my kiddy, you.
Speaker 8 (03:24):
Look pretty in a basketful of suntimes. Thank you, Yes,
you do say match. You will never guess who came
to my office for help.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
No, but I got my sympathy dog.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
It was all Carpass, Dick Cappas day.
Speaker 8 (03:42):
He lives in the shack on the river bottom. Kiddy
hunts a little trap. Some keeps pretty much two.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So that's wrong. What a bullet wound? You mean? Nobody
was shot this afternoon. You didn't tell me about it.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
I didn't see it was important, was the Carpus though
he is he nick when he broken up when he
left Doc.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
With you, please, I recommend living alone that way without
any human friends.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Can get pretty fond of an old hound dog.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
A dog, I guess I didn't forget to mention. It
was that old spotted hound dog here that was shot.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
He you know kidding?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah, sad. Do you think maybe you can get by
till payday to that dollar?
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Forget a chesty?
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Yes, forget it.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
None, No use looking at me, chesty.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I was just thinking your dog. Did Karpas have any
idea who shot his dog?
Speaker 8 (04:41):
If he did, he wasn't hand, but from the look
on his face when he walked out and I'm glad
it wasn't me.
Speaker 9 (04:47):
You know, why would anybody do a thing like that?
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Well, I don't know. It's too bad, but there's nothing
much done about it.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I think maybe I better ride out there in the morning.
I have a talk with Carus.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
What fool?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
This wouldn't be the first time that a dog getting killed?
How would finally lead to a man getting killed?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Warning?
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Warning here?
Speaker 6 (05:23):
What's the matter?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Well?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I have a warning for all eligible dependents seeking medical
care at government expense.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
From civilian sources. But all right, already, be.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Sure the physician and hospital are participating in the Medicare.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Program before beginning treatment.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Pus, all my dependents have checked. Now they should make
sure they use their ID card to obtain only that
medical care to which they are entitled. Misuse of the
ID card is punishable by a fine of up to
ten thousand dollars or imprisonment of up to five years.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
For a couple of as friends.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Don't take chances.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Read the pamphlet Dependence Medical Care Program.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Oh no, that's what I call scare advertising.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Shack looks deserted, mister Jong.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Maybe old carpet has gone off some horse and.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
There's somebody cutting wood over there in the drawer.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Let's leave our horses here.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
The lean to a Chester, right, I'd have to be
a little outcheater.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I want to live out here all along.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Maybe it's not a matter of choice.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
No company except for dog, no neighbors for ten miles
or more.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
That's not quite that Farid Rammer's got a home steps
up two miles north of here.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Maybe he shot that Hemmet's younge.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Why do you say that?
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Oh, I don't know, but.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Folks mostly leaves old carpets to yourself.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah, no, old it there.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Right where you are.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
It's you take it easy, Chester, Who is it? Peak
up there? It's Matt Dylan Carpers and Chester. Hey, you
better about that rifle down? Oh well, I didn't recognize
your boy. Sho my eyes what they used to be?
I thought maybe it was who he thought?
Speaker 5 (07:49):
What?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Well? I I just didn't know. You may have thought
it might be whoever shut your dog? Huh? Oh, dark
told you about that. I'm sorry to hear it comes.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
I'd had Danny boy eleven years, Marshall.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
He was going blind pretty near bad as me, and.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
They sure weren't no use to hunt with no more.
But I'll say one thing, Marshall, I'd give him my
right arm rather than lose that hound.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I reckon. Folks should call it crazy, but that's how
I felt eleven alone. I guess a man learns to
appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Thought well, he understood every word that was said to him,
just as good as you were me. By evenings, we'd
sit there in my shock, and I'd talk to him,
and well, we won't be doing.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
That no more. Now what do you think shot him?
Let's walk back up to the shack, Marshall. They's getting
my cold standing here.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
Now he look beyond her. He goes a rabbit, look
a dead and pool run? Is he sure statch and
grab him?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Danny boy had been after him like a shot eat
a lot right off, but he'd sure give it a
cry lebbitch, I hold the.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Prey, chickens.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
You chaste anything to.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Move blundering along, blinds a bat, vain his lungs out carpas.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
You have any idea why anybody want to shoot it?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Because they're playing low down me. That's why there ain't
no other reason for doing things like that.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Come on inside, all right, ain't.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Nothing fancy, but it keeps the weather off.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
There's some coffee going here in.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
A couple of minutes.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Marshall, if you're your mind, you said.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
The spell, don't go.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I want to bother on our account.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Oh god, it's no bothered.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Just a few more logs in here.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
I ain't sure I can scare up three months though.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
It's kind of unusual having callers here, folks.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Oh, exactly, like I had the plague or something. Well.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Uh, people get caught up in their own troubles. I
guess carbas just get too busy sometimes to be neighbor.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
A man can get lonesome. Marshall, Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Uh, Pet Raymer and his missus ever dropped by here.
No never, why'd you find the dog after he'd been
a shot? I didn't find him, you found me. He's
come dragging himself back here to the cabin. I rushed
him right in the dock.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
But it was too late, and you don't know where
it happened. Then, Yes, I know.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I followed this trail back this morning. It was on
a brushy draw about a mile from here.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I told the place you know, more.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Or less, I'll take care of it.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Marshall, Do you just stay out of it? Laws for
people and not for dumb animals. Your dog wasn't shot
by a dumb animal. Carpets. I'll settle it in my
own way. And you know who did it.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I know all right now.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
See they pay for it too, that kind of pay
before it gets out of hands.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Sometimes I'm the one that suffered the loss. It's my concern,
not I'm right here.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Somebody's out there in the yard.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
You hear me.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Get up.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Now. It seems like one of your neighbors has finally
come calling on your covers. Another visit with Joe and
(11:41):
deafne foresight.
Speaker 9 (11:44):
Oh Joe, shoe.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Shoe, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm up. I'm up. I forget breakfast.
I'll shave at work. Joe, it's not time to go
to work. Then, why did you wake me up?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
You snoring?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Ah? You was snoring loud? Oh really, I just wanted
to quiet you. I thought I was quiet.
Speaker 10 (12:07):
You sounded like a buzz saw going through a pine.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Not pretty good? Pretty good. I wish I could be
with you at two thirty in the morning. You can
go back to sleep now, God gee, thanks.
Speaker 10 (12:18):
You get a good night's sleep too. Our savings bonds
will protect us.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Huh.
Speaker 10 (12:23):
They protect us the money we investors used to protect
our country.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
And it's freedoms.
Speaker 10 (12:28):
Why all around us we can see the safeguards that
our bonds are paid for. Oh so you see when
you buy that savings bond with every paycheck, you're really
investing in a secure night's sleep.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Not in this house. I'm not good night, Daphne, good
night you. That's Pete Raymond out there. Marshall.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
You heard me, you man? You alwa, he's out come
on out here. He's aiming to kill me.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
But why I don't rightly know that he fired a
bullet through the wind that didn't need.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
All right, cap, I just stand away from the door.
You to a Chester rammer, smart Dylan, you'll hold of fire.
I'm coming out.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
I didn't know you was in there, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I guess you didn't.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
M I understand I was naming to shoot nobody.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
That's uh. He's trying to throw a scared into him
into old carpris. I mean, bring him to his senses.
Maybe has he been out of his senses? Well, he
sure act like it. Marsha. You know what he'd done
this morning? He tried to shoot my kid's dog snuck
(14:16):
up through the brush, took a shot at her son.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
He's seen him do it. Any idea of what had
caused him to do a thing with him? Dang, he
just crazy, he reckon. He always been might touch you
know that. That's why folks around here just stay shy
of him. That might work both ways? How's that be?
In lonesome acting strange? They kind of go together sometimes.
(14:42):
Maybe you're the one who shut his dog. Who if
he says that he's a liar, I ain't even seen
that old hound for a week.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Didn't know he was shocked till you told me.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Anybody says I'd done that, he is a liar, I say,
you got it?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
You you calling me?
Speaker 6 (15:03):
Calling you anything you are to Marshall, he said, what
he told you that I killed his dog?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Oh, he didn't tell me anything. He said he'd take
care of it himself.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Yes, and I will too. That's what you were doing,
sneaking around my place. And I very high the tooth
for too. It's law the script, all right, you just
take warning for me. Right now. I catch you around
my place one more.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Time, I'm gonna put a bullet in.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
You too bad. He shot myself shot.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
It's like I told you, compass. This way of paying
for things comes high sometimes.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Danny boy was the only thing I had in the world.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Well, in you order to find out who killed him?
Instead of going around and staring.
Speaker 6 (15:45):

According to Thomas Jefferson, equal justice to all men, regardless
of their political or religious beliefs, is an essential principle
of our political philosophy. The Amendments to our Constitution spell
out what we mean by justice. For example, no one
can conduct an unreasonable search of our homes or businesses,
(21:25):
or seize any of our belongings. We can't be held
for a capital or infamous crime unless we are first
indicted by a grand jury, and we are entitled to
a speedy and a public trial by an impartial jury.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
The accused has a right to confront.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
The witnesses against him, and he can force witnesses who
could aid his case to testify.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Of course, he.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Cannot be made to testify against himself. He is entitled
to the help of a lawyer, and he cannot be
deprived of life, liberty, or property without due.
