JOE KLAAS, POLLY'S GRANDFATHER.
DAvis is accused of kidnapping polly from her bedroom while the girl and two of her friends were having a sleep-over. that was in october of 1993.
On the confession tape, davis claims he took polly because he was high on drugs and alcohol and said he did not molest the child. DAVIS:"DID YOU TRY TO HAVE SEX WITH HER? NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
Prosecutors say they do not believe all of davis' story. instead they say the tape shows a man trying to make the most of a desperate situation.

Anna Wentworth/Arts Reviewer: Richard Gere is Marty Vale, an arrogant, sharp, and expensive attorney who thinks he knows all the answers.
He takes on 'Pro Bono' the case of a strange sweet looking altar boy charged with the vicious murder of a priest.
As Marty investigates, he turns up some dirt that a lot of people don't want made public.
City Prosecutor, John Mahoney and Marty go back in history.
He shares a little "personal history" with Prosecuting Attorney, Laura Linney.
And that sweet looking Altar Boy is played by Edward Norton.
"Primal Fear" is a meaningless title for an engrossing film. The court case and its aftermath may hold a few surprises, but the plot is generally predictable.
I give this one a "B+" anyway, due to good performances from Gere, Linney, and Norton.))
