" Forget insanity. It was justifiable homicide.” “Then why go through the motions of a M’Naghten hearing?” “We won’t. I’ll ask for one and make Dyer do some work. They’ll send Drew to Whitfield to be examined by their doctors and they’ll find one who’ll testify that the kid knew exactly what he was doing. Then, before the hearing I’ll withdraw the motion. Just mess with them a little. "
