1
All right, I don't have anything brilliant.
2
I only know as much as you do.
3
According to testimony, the boy looks guilty.
4
Maybe he is.
5
I sat there in court for six days listening while the evidence built up.
6
Everybody sounded so positive.
7
You know, I began to get a peculiar feeling about this trial.
8
I mean, nothing is that positive.
9
There are a lot of questions I would like to ask.
10
I don't know, maybe they wouldn't have meant anything, but...
11
I began to get the feeling that the defense counsel wasn't conducting a thorough enough cross-examination.
12
I mean, he let too many things go by, little things.
13
What little things?
14
Listen, when these fellows don't ask questions,
15
it's because they know the answers already and they figure they'll be hurt.
16
Maybe it's also possible for a lawyer to be just plain stupid, isn't it?
17
I mean, it's possible.
18
You sound like you met my brother-in-law once.
19
I kept putting myself in the kid's place.
20
I'd have asked for another lawyer, I think.
21
I mean, if I was on trial for my life I'd want my lawyer to tear the prosecution witnesses to shreds,
22
or at least try to.
23
Look, there was one alleged eyewitness to this killing.
24
Someone else claims he heard the killing,
25
saw the boy run out afterwards,
26
and there was a lot of circumstantial evidence.
27
But actually, those two witnesses were the entire case for the prosecution, supposing they're wrong.
28
What do you mean, supposing they're wrong?
29
What's the point of having witnesses at all?
30
Could they be wrong?
31
What are you trying to say?
32
Those people sat on the stand under oath.
33
They're only people.
34
People make mistakes.
35
Could they be wrong?
36
Well, no, I don't think so.
37
You know so.
38
Oh, come on, nobody can know a thing like that.
39
This isn't an exact science.
40
That's right, it isn't.
41
Okay, let's get to the point.
42
What about the switch knife they found in the old man's chest?
43
Wait a minute.
44
There's some people who haven't talked to it.
45
Shouldn't we go in order?
46
They'll get a chance to talk to it.
47
Be quiet a second, will you?
48
What about it?
49
The knife this fine, upright boy admitted buying...
50
...the night of the killing.
51
Let's talk about it.
52
All right, let's talk about it.
53
Let's get it in here and look at it.
54
I'd like to see it again, Mr. Foreman.
55
We all saw what it looks like.
56
Why do we have to see it again?
57
The gentleman has a right to see exhibits and evidence.
58
Say, could you bring us the knife?
59
The knife?
60
Yeah.
61
The knife and the way it was bought is pretty strong evidence, don't you think?
62
I do.
63
Good.
64
Now, suppose we take these facts one at a time.
65
One, the boy admitted going out of the house at eight
66
o'clock on the night of the murder after being slapped several times by his father.
67
No, no, no. No, he didn't say slapped.
68
He said punched.
69
There's a difference between a slap and a punch.
70
After being hit several times by his father.
71
Two.
72
He went directly to a neighborhood junk shop.. where he bought one of those...
73
Switch knives.
74
Switch blade knives.
75
This wasn't what you'd call an ordinary knife.
76
It had a very unusual carved handle and blade.
77
The storekeeper who sold it to him said it was the only one of its kind he had ever had in stock.
78
Three.
79
He met some friends of his in front of a tavern about 8.45.
80
Am I right so far?
81
Yes, you are.
82
You bet he is.
83
He talked with his friends for about an hour, leaving them at 9.45.
84
During this time, they saw the switch knife.
85
Four.
86
They identified the death weapon in court as that very same knife.
87
Five.
88
He arrived home at about 10 o'clock.
89
Now, this is where the stories offered by the state and the boy begin to diverge slightly.
90
He claims that he went to a movie at about 11.30,
91
returning home at 3.10 to find his father dead and himself arrested.
92
He also claims that the two detectives arrested him and threw him down a half a flight of stairs.
93
Now, what happened to the switch knife?
94
He claims that it fell through a hole in his pocket on the way to the movie,
95
sometime between 11.30 and 3.10,
96
and that he never saw it again.
97
Now there is the tale, gentlemen.
98
I think it's quite clear that the boy never went to the movies that night.
99
No one in the house saw him go out at 11.30,
100
no one at the theater identified him.
101
He couldn't even remember the names of the pictures he saw.
102
What actually happened is this.
103
The boy stayed home, had another fight with his father,
104
stabbed him to death, and left the house at 10 minutes after 12.
105
He even remembered to wipe the knife clean of fingerprints.
106
Now, are you trying to tell me that this knife.. really fell through a hole in the boy's pocket?
107
Someone picked it up off the street,
108
went to the boy's house.. and stabbed his father with it just to test its sharpness?
109
No, I'm just saying it's possible the boy lost his knife.. and that somebody else stabbed his father with a similar knife.
110
It's just possible.
111
Take a look at this knife.
112
It's a very unusual knife.
113
I've never seen one like it.
114
Neither had the storekeeper who sold it to the boy.
115
Aren't you asking us to accept a pretty incredible coincidence?
116
I'm just saying a coincidence is possible.
117
And I say it's not possible.
118
Where did that come from?
119
It's the same night.
120
Where did you get it?
121
I went out walking for a couple of hours last night.
122
I walked through the boy's neighborhood.
123
I bought that in a little pawn shop just two blocks from the boy's house.
124
It cost six dollars.
125
It's against the law to buy or sell switchblade knives.
126
That's right.
127
I broke the law.
128
Listen, you pulled a real bright trick.
129
Now, suppose you're telling me what it proves.
130
Maybe there are ten knives like that.
131
So what?
132
Maybe there are.
133
What does it mean?
134
You found another knife like it.
135
What's that, the discovery of the age or something?
136
You mean you're asking us to believe that somebody else did the stabbing with exactly the same kind of knife?
137
The odds are a million to one.
138
It's possible.
139
But not very probable.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
