“Such as a name. You give me the name of Sam’s partner in this
crime, and I’ll agree to a hearing. Otherwise this is a waste of time.”
“I’ve always thought there must have been someone else
behind the bombing. But why is it so important?”
“It is important because I make the final decision, Mr.
Goodman. If Sam deserves the death penalty, then I have no
problem watching while it happens. But if he doesn’t, then the
execution should be stopped. I’m a young man. I do not want to
carry the guilt of a wrong decision for the rest of my life.”
“Very well, we’ll talk to Sam again. I’ll let you know if we get
anywhere. We are requesting a hearing as soon as possible, in any
case.”
“The request is denied unless Sam talks.”
