Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (2009)

David Jensen: Gary Spota

Quotes 

• Gilbert Romans : There were four stab wounds. One severed the left carotid artery. Another just beneath the sternum punctured the aorta. The remaining two punctured the abdomen and opened the small intestines.

  Mark Hunter : Dr. Romans, I'd like you to take a look at this knife, previously entered as People's Exhibit C. It was taken from the defendant's apartment.

  [hands over the bag with the knife] 

  Mark Hunter : Could that be the murder weapon?

  Gilbert Romans : [inspecting the knife]  Yes, the blade's length and width are the same as the stab wound.

  Mark Hunter : And when you examined the knife, did you find any traces of blood on it?

  Gilbert Romans : No, it had recently been cleaned with a strong, industrial-strength cleaning solution, and deformities on the handle indicate that it had been boiled. Plus, striations on the blade indicate the blade had recently been reground.

  Mark Hunter : I have no more questions. Thank you, Dr. Romans

  [to Mr. Spota] 

  Mark Hunter : Your witness.

  Gary Spota : So, just to be clear, what you're saying is, you don't know if this is the actual murder weapon or not.

  Gilbert Romans : No.

  Gary Spota : Thank you. No further questions.
