直接进入正题：法庭审判过程中，杜弗雷被判处20年监禁。
Lawyer:They had sinned. But was their crime so great... as to merita death sentence?While you think about that, think about this: A revolver holds six bullets, not eight.
I submit that this was not a hot-blooded crime of passion. That at leastcould be understood, if not condoned.
Andy: No.
-Lawyer:This was revenge... of a much more brutal, cold-blooded nature. Consider this:Four bullets per victim. Not six shots fired, but eight. That means that he fired the gun empty... and then stopped to reload…
... so that he could shoot each of them again. An extra bullet per lover... right in the head.
-Judge:You strike me as a particularly icy and remorseless man, Mr. Dufresne. It chills my blood just to look at you.By the power vested in me by the state of Maine... I hereby order you to serve two life sentences back-to-back.....one for each of your victims. So be it!
-All:Sit. We see you've served 20 years of a life sentence?
对白翻译：
律师：他们是犯了错，但他们所犯的错严重到……需要用死来赎罪吗？当你们考虑时请想想这个，一个弹匣只能装六颗子弹，而不是八颗。我肯定这不只是一时冲动而犯下的罪行，那至少是可以理解的，即使不能宽恕。
安迪：不！
律师：这是复仇，一个冷血者的复仇，看看这些：每个死者都身中四枪，总共是八枪而不是六枪，那表明子弹打完后……他还停下来装子弹……以便再次向他们开枪，每人多加一枪……就在头部。
审判长：杜弗雷先生，我觉得你非常冷血，看着你都令我毛骨悚然。我以本州赋予我的权利……判处你两项终身监禁，分别为两位死者，退庭！
全体：坐下来。你因被判终身监禁已在此二十年？
