Did Mr. Crawford seem confused, intoxicated, or impaired in any way?
No, not at all. He knew exactly what was going on.
Willy Beachum
Detective Nunally, what did Mr. Crawford say?
He said: 'It was like I just suddenly snapped. I got the gun and I shot my wife. I shot her in the head'
Ted Crawford
Objection.
I'm sorry, Mr. Crawford, did you say something?
Ted Crawford
Yes, I wish to object.
On what grounds?
Ted Crawford
I don't know...
Willy Beachum
Your honor...
Ted Crawford
Um, I don't know what, uh, you'd call it, but, uh, they... It wasn't the first time it happened either... but, um. I, um, I don't know the, uh, legal terminology.
Well, why don't you try to explain it in layman's terms.
Ted Crawford
Um... **** the victim. [following uproar in court] Well, you said layman's terms!
Willy Beachum
Your honor!
Ted Crawford
I'm sorry, your honor, but what would you call it, legally, when the officer who arrested you was having sexual intercourse with your wife? You know, I think it's objectionable. It's rather disgusting is what I think, but uh... I dunno; maybe I'm wrong!
