Book XII Chapter 10-13
00:29 10 Fetyukovitch begins his defense by emphasizing that all evidence against Dmitri is circumstantial. No fact withstands objective criticism if examined separately.
10:06 11 Fetyukovich argues no proof of robbery exists, Fyodor’s 3,000 rubles is hearsay, Dmitri’s money explanation is credible, and his drunken letter to Katerina doesn’t prove premeditated murder.
25:30 12 Fetyukovich doubts the pestle proves premeditation, dismisses Dmitri’s threats as idle talk, questions Grigory’s testimony, and suggests Smerdyakov, envious and ambitious, had motive to kill Fyodor for the money.
44:51 13 Fetyukovich argues Fyodor wasn’t a true father, only biologically, neglecting and mistreating Dmitri, urging the jury for mercy to allow Dmitri’s redemption, as Russian justice seeks salvation, not punishment.
