just the four of us on trial here. 661 00:33:27,950 --> 00:33:31,920 When you say that what we believe in is stupid, 662 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,010 you're saying that the people that we loved 663 00:33:34,210 --> 00:33:37,170 who burned in that building died for nothing. 664 00:33:37,380 --> 00:33:39,390 I don't give a rat's ass about your religion. 665 00:33:39,590 --> 00:33:42,010 And

00:33:49,730 --> 00:33:51,940 And our defense tactics have to change, 669 00:33:52,140 --> 00:33:54,310 because Kathy Schroeder flipped on you. 670 00:33:56,020 --> 00:33:58,070 Before, you were all a united front, 671 00:33:58,270 --> 00:34:00,990 whatever the prosecutor said happened at Mount Carmel, 672 00:34:01,190 --> 00:34:02,990 was speculation. 673 00:34:03,190 --> 00:34:06,290 Now, one of

you never held a gun, 681 00:34:26,300 --> 00:34:28,060 we have to make the jury believe 682 00:34:28,260 --> 00:34:30,730 that you had no choice but to pick one up. 683 00:34:30,930 --> 00:34:33,980 You had no choice but to protect yourselves, 684 00:34:34,180 --> 00:34:37,230 because David Koresh conditioned you 685 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,150 to do whatever he said, 686 00:34:39,350 --> 00:34:41,910 and the government charged in trying to kill your children. 687 00:34:42,110 --> 00:34:44,490 But we didn't just do whatever he told us to do. 688 00:34:44,690 --> 00:34:46,240
