I timed it so that it would be in time for the legislative session. That's what I want to say in court. I want to say that the state needs to protect itself.[2] In popular cultureA fictionalized version of him was played by American actor Chris Cooper in the film Adaptation,[3] a portrayal that earned Cooper an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
