I don't know, but look at us. None of us at this table has any real friends." "How do you talk about what happened over there?" another asks...

At Chapman's sentencing on Aug. 24, Marks plans to use the testimony of two psychiatrists and one psychologist-as well as his defendant's God-given plea-to argue that Chapman is insane and thus should be given the most lenient sentence...
