Cash Had
Nothing to Do
With It
The state itself in opening this case said that it was largely
for experience and for a thrill, which it was. In the end the state switched
it on to the foolish reason of getting cash .
Every fact in this case shows that cash had almost nothing to do
with it, except as a factor in the perfect crime; and to commit the perfect
crime there must be a kidnapping, and a kidnapping where they could get
money, and that was all there was of it. Now, these are the two theories
of this case, and I submit, your Honor, under the facts in this case, that
there can be no question but that we are right.
