      There's something in our world that makes men lose their heads. In our courts, when it's a white man's word against a black man's, the white man always wins. These are the ugly facts of life."

        I'm no idealist, I know that our courts and the jury system are not ideal. Gentlemen, a court is no better than each man of you on this jury. I am sure, gentlemen, that you will study without passion the evidence you have heard, come to a decision, and return this defendant to his family. In the name of God, do your duty."
