I wouldn't put it on the same level as a rumor... When you get down to it, it's about two people's accounts of a situation. Like what you previously said, your word against his.
[Still, Phoenix feels like he's hitting a dead end in terms of pressing him. It's not like the witness's stand, where he'll eventually crack and break down when the right hole is exposed in his argument. Brenner is just digging his heels in further, so there's not much point in carrying on like this. At least for now.
Phoenix lets out a sigh.]
But I think this has carried on long enough. It's not like we can determine anything definitively anyway like this, based on testimony alone. And of course, I do accept what you just said. If that's what those officials were thinking of doing, I'm glad that an alternative was reached that didn't involve their deaths. That much I can appreciate.
