Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Cindee Murphy: When the System Fails:Tristan Murphy's Story Changes Florida Law

So I tend to believe her when she says that. I'm hoping that that's true. I'm choosing to, I guess I don't have to forgive her because there was nothing to forgive, but I have chosen to let go of that.

And, you know, by the end of our conversation, it was like, well, how can we work on this legislation together? What can we do now to make sure this doesn't happen to anybody else? And I expected in the coming months I will be working with her.

Right. Well, you know, the rest of Tristan's story there, I don't want to skip over that, but he went through the whole process again, like he had the first time being determined that he was incompetent to stand trial. This time he was literally in solitary, although they don't like for me to call it solitary confinement, but he was in rural, what do they call it?

Cindee Murphy: When the System Fails:Tristan Murphy's Story Changes Florida Law

He was in the infirmary locked in a cell for his protection and everybody's protection because of his mental health issues without a tablet, without a phone, without newspapers or TV or anything, but the voices in his head for hundreds of days before they determined that he was, again, incompetent to stand trial and sent to the forensic facility.

After he was adjudicated and competent to stand trial, it took another 117 days before they sent him for restoration, which is just crazy because in Florida, it's supposed to happen within three days. But anyway, at the end of that whole process, he came back and pled no contest and was sentenced to three years in prison.

And he was transferred from the county jail to a prison here in Florida, and he lived only 63 days there. The 63rd day, he was sent out on a work detail and handed a chainsaw and used the chainsaw to take his own life.

That's the question that everybody asks. You know, it didn't make sense to me. You know, we know some of the details. I can't really talk about some parts of this because we did end up suing the Department of Corrections here in Florida and settled the case.
