We were just all so excited for at least this piece of this terrible process to be behind me and behind us and for him to at least be taken away in shackles for doing what he did.

The courtroom was emptier than she'd imagined it.

It was just a handful of spectators, some attorneys, some clerks, and the judge sitting at the front of the room.

Where the jury would have been were 12 vacant chairs.

Saskia, her friends, and family took their seats in the gallery.

We're just pretty dead silent waiting for the case to be called and waiting for Mike to be brought in.

And then the doors opened.

In walked Mike.

Saskia's friend Bridget recalls seeing him that day.

He was wearing a suit and brand new white sneakers.

At a glance, he was put together.

But the outfit didn't fool her.

It gave me chills.

Mike took his seat next to his two attorneys.

The sentencing hearing was ready to begin.

What we're about to play for you are real excerpts from that day.

If I could press a button and rewind it all, I would.

Almost 30 years together, four kids, and some of reality TV's most unforgettable moments, we know a thing or two about living life out loud.

We're taking you behind the scenes in our new podcast, Between Us, with me, Heather Dubrow.

And me, Terry Dubrow.
