Because I want to hurt you, and I don't know how else to do it.
New season January 13th.
By May 2018, nearly two years after Emma Walker's death, it's finally judgment day for Riley Gall.
Opening arguments occur day one.
There's a defense lawyer, Wesley Stone, admitting that Riley fired the gun into the house, but he says it wasn't to kill Emma.
He wanted to scare her into calling him for help.
That way, he could be her hero.
In his mind, oh, I'm just going to scare her by shooting at her through the wall where she's laying her head.
And if it was his desperate attempt to get attention from her, then it was really, truly a bad idea.
Prosecutors point out the trajectory of the two bullets that struck Emma.
After a week of testimony and more than 30 witnesses, the jury has a verdict.
And when you heard guilty...
I mean, it doesn't bring her back, but that's the best we could get.
Nineteen-year-old Riley Gall, sentenced to life in prison.
