No, thanks.

As many trials as I've been through

and I can never take the waiting.

Wanna go for a walk?

No, you go ahead. I've gotten

pretty good at waiting.

That Judge Hilburn...

...he don't have a lot of patience.

That jury ain't back with a verdict

in a few hours...

...he'll declare a mistrial.

I'm not sure I got that.

Would you mind repeating that,

please?

You did say mistrial, didn't you?

I'm gonna snooch you.

All rise.

When the verdict is read...

...there will be no demonstrations...

...or any emotional outbursts

of any type.

Has the jury reached a verdict?

It has, Your Honor.

If the bailiff will hand me

the verdict.

I'll ask the jury at this time

to stand and face the defendant.

The defendant will face the jury.

The jury foreman will now

read the verdict.

We the jury...

...find the defendant...

...Byron De La Beckwith,

guilty as charged.

-Quiet in this courtroom.

-Guilty.

Mrs. Evers, how did you feel

when the verdict came in?

It's been a long journey.

Medgar, I've gone the last mile

of the way.

I've gone the last mile of the way.

And all I want to say...

...is yea, Medgar!
