The foreman got up there Wednesday, and when he gave his statement, he was... What made him more credible to me was that he... The way he spoke, he didn't seem like it was rehearsed.

He just kind of spoke the way he speaks, you know what I mean?

And he spoke in those kind of terms.

And it didn't seem like he was trying to highlight anything or trying to be, you know, grandiose in the way he was explaining things.

He just said exactly what happened and how it happened.

To me, it came off as real genuine.

I said, okay.

And he was, you know, his voice kind of didn't change.

It's just kind of like...

This is what I did.

This is why I did it.

This is who told me to do it.

And I feel guilty about it.

Like he didn't practice this, you know, he just, he got up there and he answered the questions.

And if he didn't understand something, he said he didn't understand it, but he answered everything the best he could, even when the prosecutor tried to press him on things.

The prosecutor's trying to feed him in it, but he already knows what he's doing, so they're going back and forth and battling it out.

The prosecutor got real mad.

He started frustrating him, so he got real mad.

And to see him kind of lose his composure and get angry and kind of just throw his hands up with him was a little entertaining if it wasn't such a serious thing.

But it was like my ex-lord kind of just told him, look, if I had these things, my argument would have been different.
