And I remember when I got it,
I sat down and I read it.
Then I read it again.
Then I read it a third time.
And I knew that it was the best appeal that had been filed for me.
And if the court heard it, I'd get a stay.
And I might walk out this place.
At that time, I thought that would be the one that would get me out of here.
And so fast forward to that visit.
And I told my mother, I said, Mom, just imagine like we're at the casino in Las Vegas.
And we're betting the farm.
We're going to bet everything that we got on this appeal.
And if we win, I'm going to get out of here.
And if we lose, well, I'll see you in heaven, you know.
But believe me, I've got hope because this is the best appeal that was ever followed.
I mean, so that was the mindset.
That's what I had in my mind.
I wasn't so much thinking about myself.
I was thinking about my mom, who just lost my dad.
I knew if they executed me, it was going to kill her.
