Lewin also wanted to get Andre's thoughts about why Marcus testified against him.
Are you aware as you sit here of any motive that he might have for trying to say that you're responsible for his mom's death?
The influence by many who pretty much tainted him and telling him negative things about me over the years from his relatives to the law enforcement people who interviewed him.
Finally, Lewin asked a question that seemed to get under Andre's skin.
Isn't it true, Mr. Jackson, that Marie told you that she was leaving you?
After three months in court and 18 years after Marie's death, co-prosecutor Pat Kerry gave the prosecution's closing argument.
But the prosecution was pointing in the wrong direction, said the defense attorney in his closing remarks to the jury.
Nearly two decades after Marie's murder, the case was finally before a jury.
And just two and a half hours later, there was a verdict.
Andre Jackson was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
For Marcus Singleton, this victory was bittersweet.
He still wants to hear the truth from Andre himself.
He knows, he says, that that may never come.
But he hopes his mother would be proud that he finally spoke up.
