The only offer we had before trial was that he would plead guilty to murder with a very reduced sentence, which is an odd feature of Georgia law. Because it was murder, you can't collect. That's the Slayer Statute. Involuntary manslaughter, you can, because it's not an intentional killing. Did you know that the state offered us five years back then? Yes. Total of five years.

What did Billy think about that? I'm curious. You know, I didn't think that was an unreasonable offer because I thought we were likely to get convicted of involuntary manslaughter, which could get you 10. The way it was, if I can just finish, the way that's a little bit complicated is the 10 years was parolable, the five would not be.

So it was a close call, and Tex said, no, I'm not pleading guilty to murder.

Well, that's different than the, there was, as I said, the... There's more to this than I can explain, which is why we hired a lawyer to deal with the, you know, the estate issues with two lawyers. And Mary Margaret Oliver is a very fine lawyer who I've known since the day I set foot in Georgia 50 years ago. And, you know, as I said, there's the life insurance prong.

There's the wrongful death benefits, however much they were. There's the estate. There's the property. There's the jewelry and the furs that were sold. All of those came under different provisions of law that governed what goes to the heirs and who are the heirs. So they're going to be litigating that until Texas is in his grave.

I have no idea. I'm not sure that's true. You may be right. I'll accept what you're telling me. But if you were just told that, I'd want to find out. Ms.

I don't know whether she did or not, but okay.

I'm not sure he's becoming a millionaire. I mean, no, I think that's an odd way to phrase it. She died as a result of an accident. He was negligent. You know, the fact that he recovers the real estate that they own together, that he collects that, that there was life insurance that has to pay.

You know, I guess, you know, what he wanted to do, he should tell the life insurance company, give it to charity, give it to Billy Corey. You want the money? I mean, what do you do with a life insurance policy where you're the beneficiary? Tell the life insurance company, give it to an orphanage in Ethiopia. It is an odd situation. Yeah, I mean, I think it's unfair. I don't know.
