Dr. Philip Pulking Horn. Did you like
00:00:02
him? Would you say your mates?
00:00:03
>> It was highly unusual. You know, the
00:00:05
accused in these cases normally sort of
00:00:07
squestered away behind glass and Philip
00:00:10
had the run of the courtroom and so he
00:00:12
was very accessible and you'd go in the
00:00:14
morning and each day and go, "Morn,
00:00:15
Phil." Phil failed the test of character
00:00:17
in that trial, didn't he? Nobody liked
00:00:19
him. I'm pretty sure the jury didn't
00:00:21
like him. One of those particular days,
00:00:23
he was seething with rage. And as we put
00:00:26
on our coats, it was winter time to
00:00:28
leave. He was putting on his coat and I
00:00:31
said, "Bye, Phil. See you tomorrow." And
00:00:33
he said, "Come over here." You know, I
00:00:34
said, "You right?" He said, "No, I'm
00:00:36
disgusted." You know, shocking day.
00:00:38
Shocking day. And then he said, "You
00:00:40
wait till we bring out science." I said,
00:00:42
"Yeah, sure. I'll wait." But he was
00:00:44
right. It was the science which um
00:00:47
surely liberated him.
00:00:49
>> Do you think as someone that was there
00:00:50
every moment of every day, did the jury
00:00:52
get it right?
00:00:54
If you were a juror,
