A judge decides to begin a series of lectures about a case that he tried eight years previously, the result of which was that a man was executed.

Judge McIntire:(reading Chalkboard writing) Je ne regrette rien. I regret nothing. That's the name of a love song popular in France at the moment I think. Ah the French, they carry love and logic to an absurdity. (class laughs) Case number 678549 the people of the state of California versus John Parkman. Crime, section 1-8-7 of the penal code, murder in first. Transcript of the first six days of the trial. There are twenty of these people I hope we can get thru them all.
