I... I wish to request an adjournment.
-
An adjournment? We just got here.
-
My client has been in custody for a month,
-
wasn't allowed to contact counsel until yesterday.
-
General Hunter,
-
a delay will only serve to prolong the nation's sorrow.
-
My learned colleague,
-
you've had over four weeks to prepare your case,
-
no doubt assisted by the entire War Department.
-
I believe the defendant is entitled to equal consideration.
-
Senator Johnson,
-
our fellow citizens must be permitted to put this tragedy to rest.
