The Texan1958

[Longley is exonerated when the judge rules Crawford's death was justifiable homicide]

Bill Longley:
Thank you, Judge. I'll buy you a drink.

Judge Whittaker:
No, I'll buy you one. After you hear the rest of it, you're going to need one. According to the criminal code of the state of Montana - and they ought to do something about it - a man who kills another man in a fair fight must assume the debts and responsibilities of the loser. That includes taking care of the wife and all children until such time as the widow remarries.

Bill Longley:
That's a law?

Judge Whittaker:
Read the bad news for yourself.
