you saw them for yourselves. the witnesses of the state, with the exception of the sheriff of macom county, has presented them to yourselves, you gentlemen, of the court in their confidence that their testimony would not be doubted. believing that you gentlemen would go along with them on the assumption, the evil assumption that all negros lie, that all negros are basically immoral beings, that all negros are not to be trusted around our women. which, gentlemen, as you know in itself a lie as black as tom robinson's skin. a lie i do not need to explain to you. you know the truth and the truth is this -- that some negros lie. some negros are immoral. some negros are not to be trusted around women, black or white. but this is a truth that applies to the human race and not to any particular race of man. there is not a person in this courtroom who has never told a lie, who has never done an immoral thing and there is no man living who has never looked upon a woman without desire. one more thing, gentlemen, before i q

see, and there is a tendency, when this commission meets, -- you are supervisors, but you call yourselves commissioners in this meeting -- but there is a tendency to pass millions and millions of dollars, hopefully, for the benefit of this great city and county of san francisco par, bue need to deliver it. we need line item accounting. that is the way that we can have transparency. this needs to be transported to our representatives. do not appoint representatives for the sake of appointing representatives. representatives have to represent. they have to put their best foot forward. commissioner mirkarimi: thank you. any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. same house, same call? so moved. next item. >> item 10. allocate $270,819 in prop k funds, with conditions, to the san francisco municipal transportation agency for one project and $1,275,900 in prop k funds, with conditions, to the department of public works for two projects, subject to the attached fiscal year cash flow distribution schedules, and amend the relevant 5-year prioritization program for curb ramps

when you guys were discussing the case amongst yourselves, the prosecution team, did you have any idea that the pool could play a role in the acquittal of casey anthony? >> we felt based upon the manner which caylee was found, the photographs of her remains and most people haven't seen that photograph, at least not in an unblurred way, we felt the way she was found with the duct tape over the skull was very compelling evidence. nand facand in fact our medical dpinner basically said there is no reason to put duct tape on a child, dead or alive. >> bill: describe the picture to the audience. >> a picture of caylee's skull buried in sort of leaf debree up to the area of the bottom of the nose. there is duct tape sort of right near that area, you know, obviously the face is decomposed to the duct tape is not directly on the skull but basic ll aaround that portion of the face basically from here to the sides. >> bill: so she couldn't breathe. >> assuming it was on there when she was alive, yes, that was our theory. >> bill: jennifer ford, i have to get back to her because she is the only ju
