DORSEY<br>

This angel met her end on the concrete floor of the sweatshop <br>

where she toiled away her childhood fastening erasers to pencil caps <br>

for ten pennies an hour. <br>

She died a noble death without a splotch or blemish upon her <br>

(holding up her bloody clothes above his head)<br>

<br>

Your Honor, I've done my duty;<br>

I have no apologies to make.<br>

There will be but one verdict in this trial:<br>

GUILTY! GUILTY!<br>

GUILTY!<br>

<br>

ENSEMBLE (overlapping)<br>

God bless this day in the old hills of Georgia<br>

The old red hills of home.<br>

All sinners pay in the old hills of Georgia<br>

Let us finish what's begun<br>

And let Jesus' will be done!<br>

<br>

JUDGE ROAN<br>

Gentlemen of the Jury, have you reached a verdict?<br>

<br>

FOREMAN<br>

Yes, sir, we have, Your Honor.<br>

<br>

JUDGE ROAN<br>

How say you?<br>

<br>

FOREMAN<br>

Guilty.<br>

<br>

(The eleven other jurors confirm their verdict: GUILTY! <br>

The crowd breaks into an exultant celebratory cakewalk. <br>

Leo and Lucille embrace each other, terrified.)<br>
