Was there any question that was going to happen?

I mean, was it?

I mean, because we know that that hearing was held.

But was there any question before it was held whether, in fact, there would be an apology and and there would be an exoneration of all four men, including your dad?

I was not there.

I watched it afterwards.

And when Mike Scott, who was the only one of the four who actually testified at that hearing, took the stand, I didn't even recognize him.

He looked like an old guy.

In my mind, I was still seeing the Michael Scott, even from 1999 and when he went on trial.

And it really showed me how much time had gone by and the weight that had been on these individuals.

Did that help to finally have this hearing where at least the state of Texas and most of America could see that your father's name had been cleared?

I was definitely grateful.

All right.

And that's what I want to get to, because I know that is really the reason why you're sitting down with us.

I know that you really want to talk about the changes.

So the city of Austin has agreed to pay for

all four men, and in your case, the family of Maurice Pierce, $35 million.

And it's been reported that your family will get $10 million.

Is that correct?

Yes.
