He was trying to have it just be self-defense. And yet the gun that he brought, it was a present that Candy gave him that he kept at his parents' house that was his only gun that had a laser pointer. So it was one of those, like, a lot of people said, no, this is first degree. You went to your parents' house, got a specific gun, had it in your hoodie pocket.

And her story is they went and had sex in some new neighborhood. She's talking about their relationship. She's talking about that night. The person dead, everything can be brought up about them, every weakness they've ever had, every struggle they've had. So she got to talk about whatever she wanted about Emmett.

Luckily they took an interview with her the night it happened. She told all of what happened exactly. She said there was a pop, pop, pause, pop, and everything's on video. And then he got out 28 days later, went home to her for a full week without any stipulations. And so what the theory is, is they had time to kind of plan out a new story of what happened.

She was up there for two days because her story didn't match what she had said the night of, and they just kept asking her questions over and over and over. And the judge at the end was like, jury, anything she said here, I just want you to discredit everything she said. We'll just show you the video footage of the night.

I actually requested probably nine times to be able to talk to him. but they never approved it because anything I would have said could have been used against me in court. I wanted to tell him how it felt to have a four-year-old who didn't sleep for a year and to have little children that would come and say, mom, what if the bad guy comes in and takes it?
