"I've murdered no one!"

"Removed like a common criminal. I warn you, Lieutenant Alfred, that this is utterly false and I shall have compensation. I am both capable and willing to make you and all others pay for this outrage."
"You'll submit to a lie-detector test?"
"Certainly. I'll take it. I have committed no crime. I have murdered no one!"
