I just at that point, I was feeling shell shocked because I just found out that he died. And I was like, well, do I want this? Do I want other people to know about this? Do I how do I handle this with his sons?

How do I protect them? Because at that point in time, we didn't know. We didn't know all the details. So that was a tough decision. But but I did decide. I mean, we talked about it and we decided, yeah, we'll start talking to him and we'll see where it goes. And right away, Jim decided this is not just a little story.

This is not going to need this doesn't need to be addressed by a five minute blurb on, you know, Monday night TV. This is something that has to be investigated.

With his help and, you know, between the two of us, we were able to really dig for records and get access to things that, you know, most journalists don't get access to. We gave him full access to all the records that we got. And he ended up developing a whole documentary titled The Warehouse, The Life and Death of Tristan Murphy. You can find it on YouTube.

He's done a lot of follow-up interviews, like he interviewed the judge who had sentenced Tristan and, you know, other people who were involved in the criminal justice system and out of that grew an invitation last year to speak at a hearing in Tallahassee before the Criminal Justice Committee, where they brought in the Department of Children and Family Services and the DOC.

And I got to speak at that hearing explaining what happened to Tristan. And Senator Bradley was the head of the Criminal Justice Committee, and she really sunk her teeth into this issue.

And, you know, he just took the reins with this.

He's like, this needs to be a major part of my platform. You know, when somebody comes into office like that and it's their two-year term to be Senate president, they kind of get to pick some objectives, some reforms that they want to make a priority. And this is one that he chose to do that with.
