Adventures of Sherlock Holmes 1939
Gentlemen of the jury, have you decided on your verdict?
We have.
The prisoner will rise.
Do you find the prisoner guilty or not guilty of willful murder?
According to the evidence, we have no choice.
but to find the prisoner not guilty.
So do we all find and may god forgive us.
Prisoner, at the bar you have heard the verdict.
Under the law, no other verdict is possible.
Yet, it is undoubtedly a gross miscarriage of justice.
It is deplorable, Professor Moriarty, that a man of your intellectual attainments
should be standing in the prisoner's box charged with a crime of murder.
And in setting you free, I cannot in my conscience exonerate you.
Let the prisoner be discharged.
Let me in, let me in.
My lord, I have important new evidence.
You come too late, Mr. Holmes. The prisoner has been discharged.
But my lord, you can't let Moriarty go free. He killed Loray.
I can prove it. I can destroy his alibi.
That alibi has been established by three hundred fellows of the Royal Society.
