at trial, navahcia edwards pleads not guilty. defense attorney claims the testimony of two bank tellers who say they could see edwards' black skin through the eye holes of the mask is wrong. they point to a surveillance image that shows the female bank robber's arm is white. the defense goes on to claim a white robber used face paint to describe herself as a black person to confuse witnesses. >> whether it's overexposure or something in the film where race became an issue here, where was it caucasian suspect or african-american, it was just because of this little fabric where the robe came back and the glove exposed part of the skin. >> u.s. district judge matthew kennelly decides to settle the matter for himself. >> the judge had put on the mask in his chambers to see, in fact, if he could see any of his own skin. >> when the judge looks in the mirror with a mask on, he says it's obvious he can see his own skin through the eye holes. he believes the testimony of the bank tellers, who said the robbers were african-american. navahc
