Saturday Morning

On Saturday morning Novotny began by cross examining Kaye, asking her why she never accompanied the boys on their rafting trips.

"I'm a girl," Wiggins answered. "I'm not a boy scout. I'm not a protector of the code."

Monaghan then tried to bring on Brennan to testify about cognitive dissonance. He took out the three easels which he had had made into the shape of crosses, which had been standing as a reminder to the jury behind Matt's head and then set them up next to the witness stand. U.S. Attorney Dillard objected that Brennan was a sociologist and that his testimony would have no relevance. Vinson, after listening to the arguments on both sides, sustained Dillard's objection but left the option of calling Brennan back open for later. The defeat left Monaghan with little more than another chance to get off another one-liner.

"I wasn't anticipating at this time having to go to my psychiatrist," he said.

Mullan took the stand after lunch. She proved to be as manic as she had been the night before, but it came across as sincerity to the people in the courtroom. Suddenly people were taking the insanity defense seriously. One woman defended Mullan's behavior later by saying that it was partially due to her being from California. She made much of a statement of Jimmy Simmons made after he had seen Assignment Life: "It was like a piece of me was taken out." At another point he talked about having the feeling that a knife was being plunged into his chest. The testimony was just psycho-sounding enough to get everyone interested in seeing the film. When Monaghan introduced the motion to show the film, he still felt the way he had the night before. He didn't want it in. He was introducing the motion in hopes that a "no" here would mean a "yes" when he tried to get Brennan back on the stand to talk about cognitive dissonance.

Dillard predictably objected, but the judge surprisingly overruled his objection. He permitted the film to be shown because it would make clear the effect it had had on the minds of the defendants. When the announcement was made a cheer went up from the closed circuit courtroom next door. The judge cautioned those in the court against any more such outbursts and then told the jury that the film was graphic and that he would stop it if any of them objected.
