(ALBUERA SAYING SOMETHING TO TED)

Judge: I understand there is a matter you would like to present to the court?

TED: (TED STAND) Your Honor… never have I encountered a man so

dedicated and brazen… in coercing his own client into admitting guilt. It makes
me wonder if he has the stamina or basic mental acuity to roll up his sleeves and
do the hard work. I will not accept my so-called attorney’s advice that I plead
guilty to save my own life. I am, in fact, not guilty. And I demand the discharge of
my roundly inept counsel, as is my right.

Defense: Your Honor, I would to resign as counsel.

TED BUNDY: Counselor’s first words I can agree to.

Defense: Fuck You!

Judge: Counselors, muzzle you.

TED BUNDY: I’ll consider the motion granted.

Defense: How’s this for motion? (walkout)

Judge: (Hits the gavel 3times)

NARRATOR: Dr. Biran Montes, a Trece Martires City, forensic Odontologist,

showed the pictures of the teeth of the defendant Ted Bundy and the bite mark
found in the body of one the slain coeds. He showed the court the peculiarities of
Bundy’s slightly crooked upper front teeth.

BIRAN: (Pointing the bite mark in the victim’s body) You can see the bite…
which exhibits the same unique pattern as the defendant’s chipped upper right
central incisor. This is the position ted Bundy teeth and this teeth is mark of left
buttocks of Lisa Dela Torre, I did a dental examination where I imitated ted
Bundy’s teeth position using plaster of Paris and after I compared it to the bite
mark of Lisa Dela Torre.

Prosecutor: Doctor, can you offer an opinion, within a reasonable degree of

scientific certainty, whether or not those teeth represented in that photograph
made the bite marks on the buttocks of Lisa dela Torre?

BIRAN: Yes, sir, I can. (Pointing the upper Teeth) The defendants teeth made
those marks.

Prosecutor: No further questions. I, uh, pass the witness. Doctor, you may return
to the witness box.

TED BUNDY: Doctor Montes, is there any way to test whether those teeth will
make the marks over and over?

BIRAN: Yes. I took models of the defendant’s teeth and I went to the morgue.
And I pressed those models into the buttocks area of different individuals… and
yes, they do match.

TED BUNDY: I’m sorry, Doctor Montes you did this experiment on cadavers?

BIRAN: Well, I couldn’t find any live volunteers.

TED BUNDY: I have to question the competency of this expert witness.

BIRAN: Your Honor, I question the competency of this entire trial. This is the
farce.

TED BUNDY: Dr. Montes, on that we could not agree more. (crowd applause)

Judge: ( Hits the gavel 4 times)

Judge: I feel duty-bound to remind you in the gallery that you are not on spring
break. It is a capital murder case. The court has already ruled on this witness’
expertise, counselor.

TED BUNDY: Yes, your Honor. (Ted sit)

SCENE 4

Direct Examination of Ted Bundy

Judge: Clerk of court let’s have a 20 minutes break and after we will proceed to
judgment.

Clerk of Court: All rise!

Court Marshall: Silence in the court! If you want to talk you may go outside the
court. You may take a recess.

Scene 4 (JUDGEMENT)

Clerk of Court: All rise! The Judge is approaching.

Judge: (Hit the Gavel) Let us proceed with the judgment.

Clerk of court: Please be sited, the defendant please remain standing.

Judge: It is this court‘s reasoned judgment you be adjudicated guilty of murder

that the killings are indeed atrocious and cruel in that they were extremely
wicked, shockingly evil, vile and with utter indifference to human life and that you
shall be put on death by current of electricity that shall pass through your body
until you are dead, I understand you have statement you’ like to make, and you
may do so now.
TED BUNDY: I will not ask for mercy. In fact I find it absurd to ask for mercy for
something that I did not do I’m not the one responsible for this horrific acts.
Although the verdict found in part that these crimes had been committed it erred
in finding who committed them as a consequence I do not accept the sentence
because it is not a sentence of me I is a sentence of someone else who is not
standing here today.

Judge: The court is going to sentence the person found guilty of the offense.
Your name Sir, was on that verdict. Take care of yourself young man I say that
to you sincerely. Take care of yourself. You’re a bright young man. You’d have
made a good lawyer. I would’ve loved to have you practice in front of me, but
you went to a different way, partner. It is been a tragedy for this court to see the
total waste of humanity that we have experienced here. I don’t have any
animosity towards you. I want you to know that. Take care of yourself.
