Carl Lee : Ask if he thinks I should go to jail.
Jake Tyler Brigance : Carl Lee, they amputated his leg because you shot him. He's the prosecution's witness.
Carl Lee : You're my lawyer ain't ya? Ask him.
Jake Tyler Brigance : Your Honor, one question.
Judge Omar Noose : Make up your mind, Mr. Brigance.
Jake Tyler Brigance : Deputy Looney, do you think Carl Lee shooting you was intentional?
Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney : No sir. It was an accident.
Carl Lee : Ask him!
Jake Tyler Brigance : Do you think he should be punished for shooting you?
Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney : No, sir. I hold no ill will toward the man. He did what I would have done.
Jake Tyler Brigance : What do you mean by that?
Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney : I mean, I don't blame him for what he did. Those boys raped his little girl.
D.A. Rufus Buckley : Objection, your Honor! The witness's opinion on this matter is irrelevant.
Jake Tyler Brigance : Your Honor, I belive Deputy Looney has earned the right to speak here today.
Judge Omar Noose : Overruled. Continue.
Jake Tyler Brigance : Go ahead, Dwayne.
Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney : I got a little girl. Somebody rapes her, he's a dead dog. I'll blow him away just like Carl Lee did.
D.A. Rufus Buckley : Objection your Honor!
Jake Tyler Brigance : Do you think the jury should convict Carl Lee Hailey?
Judge Omar Noose : Don't answer that question.
Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney : He's a hero. You turn him loose.
Judge Omar Noose : The jury will disregard...
Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney : Turn him loose!
D.A. Rufus Buckley : Your honor, you silenced that witness!
Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney : You turn him loose!

Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney : Caught him selling dope. Spent time in Parchman. Got out last year.
