During the sentencing in Orange County, I was shackled and sitting in a cage off to the side of the judge.
And so I could see his family.
But it was through a glass panel and bars.
His wife was in the courtroom.
And I remember them talking about, you know, who he was.
He was a pilot and flew in the Air Force here.
So he'd done all this amazing stuff in his life.
you know, saying that he was just about to retire and that they were going to have, that she was so excited to have some time with her husband because he worked so hard his whole life.
He's like a grandfather, a father.
Daily grind, day in, day out, taking care of his family.
And he was just about to reap those rewards.
I had taken their whole life from them, basically.
I mean, sitting in the courtroom, it was like I took their life and I did the same to my family.
