Closing Statements, 1979

I didn't see his eyes. I didn't see his eyebrows, I didn't see a jaw line." What she sees under hypnosis, "what I remember is his nose." The State would have you believe that a protruding nose is a very distinctive feature. Well, it is the nature of a nose to protrude from your face. If your nose didn't protrude, your glasses wouldn't stay on. All noses in profile protrude. That is not very remarkable. That is not very distinguishing. That doesn't describe one nose to the exclusion of another nose or all noses. You can't identify a person's face by one feature..."
