| 0:00.0 | The best legal analyst of all. Greg Jared, of course, you see him all over Fox News, and again, his books, his best-selling books, The Constitution and other great documents. Also, his book, The Trial of the Century. Trial of the Century is a phenomenal book. Read his columns, of course, Fox News.com. Greg Jarrett, how you doing? |
| 0:19.5 | Hey, Mark, good to be with you. I'm fine, thank you. |
| 0:22.1 | Hey, you know, I was just talking about this. |
| 0:24.2 | When it comes to an assassination, you would then get for months afterwards unbelievable |
| 0:29.8 | in-depth coverage of the assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, examine every injury. |
| 0:34.4 | Is this the first time in history where you could be an assassin and there's no mention of you ever again by the mainstream media? Well, I think it's a function of the fact that |
| 0:44.5 | the incriminating evidence of guilt was obvious and overwhelming, and thus there was a conviction |
| 0:52.4 | in, you know, less than three hours yesterday. |

| 1:16.6 | All of it supported the convictions, so I don't think there was any surprise to anybody, which I think accounts for the lackluster coverage. |
| 1:26.6 | And, you know, Ruth's defense was anemic at best. |
| 1:31.6 | He chose to represent himself, which, of course, is his right. |
| 1:35.9 | But, you know, his actions were irrefutable and indefensible. |
| 1:40.2 | He didn't actually deny that he was the aspiring assassin that day. |
| 1:47.3 | And in fact, in a letter, he confessed to it that it was an assassination attempt. |
| 1:54.9 | Instead, he claimed, well, prosecutors failed to prove my intent to kill because it really wasn't in my heart to pull the |
| 2:05.6 | trigger. Now that's a completely absurd argument. The safety on the gun was off. The round was chambered. And under the law, |
| 2:13.6 | that's not even a defense. So, you know, it was a quick verdict. |
| 2:19.8 | Such a big high-profile case. Why would the judge let him be his own lawyer? Wouldn't he |
