Like my friend, like Deb Deb will say things that are like, remember when this happened?

I'm like, oh shit, yeah.

Or I'll just be like, no, I don't remember that.

My brain, my memory is just like weird.

I remember weird shit.

I don't remember good shit.

And it's like that, so you just can't be sure.

But in the end, Chief State's Attorney Richard Colangelo

looked at the potential battle of a new trial and determined that retrying Michael Skakel simply wasn't a good use of the state's resources.

I hate when they say that.

Like I get what they're saying, but I just hate how it sounds.

He said, I believe the state cannot prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.

Therefore, the state is going to enter a null process, which means to be unwilling to pursue.

Once it was formally entered in 2021, the Noel Pross resulted in a discharge of the murder charge against Michael Skagel.

Basically, we just don't think we can prove you guilty again.

That's more, we're not saying what, it's like basically they can't, they just say that they did it.

And the state will let them go.

And that means they can't sue the state.

Oh, that's what it means with the West Memphis.

So that's a little different.
