A scene from A Time To Kill 1996
Carl Lee Hailey

Ask if he thinks I should go to jail.

Jake Tyler Brigance

Carl Lee, they amputated his leg because you shot him. He's the prosecution's witness.

Carl Lee Hailey

You're my lawyer ain't ya? Ask him.

Jake Tyler Brigance

Your Honor, one question.

Judge Omar Noose

Make up your mind, Mr. Brigance.

Jake Tyler Brigance

Deputy Looney, do you think Carl Lee shooting you was intentional?

Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney

No sir. It was an accident.

Carl Lee Hailey

Ask him!

Jake Tyler Brigance

Do you think he should be punished for shooting you?

Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney

No, sir. I hold no ill will toward the man. He did what I would have done.

Jake Tyler Brigance

What do you mean by that?

Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney

I mean, I don't blame him for what he did. Those boys raped his little girl.

D.A. Rufus Buckley

Objection, your Honor! The witness's opinion on this matter is irrelevant.

Jake Tyler Brigance

Your Honor, I believe Deputy Looney has earned the right to speak here today.

Judge Omar Noose

Overruled. Continue.

Jake Tyler Brigance

Go ahead, Dwayne.

Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney

I got a little girl. Somebody rapes her, he's a dead dog. I'll blow him away just like Carl Lee did.

D.A. Rufus Buckley

Objection your Honor!

Jake Tyler Brigance

Do you think the jury should convict Carl Lee Hailey?

Judge Omar Noose

Don't answer that question.

Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney

He's a hero. You turn him loose.

Judge Omar Noose

The jury will disregard...

Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney

Turn him loose!

D.A. Rufus Buckley

Your honor, you silenced that witness!

Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney

You turn him loose!
