Evaristo Salas Jr.

He'll be here tomorrow.

Which kind of took my lawyers back because they expected him to be there.

And it seemed like he was trying to prepare for what they said.

So maybe the notes that were given to him, because it seemed like the next day when he came, he had everything kind of like he prepared himself really good.

He was ready.

And the problem with that was that my lawyer had yet to reveal everything that she had.

was it like for you to see him after all these years because you haven't seen him in you know decades oh the thing is too with the zoom clock his or the zoom meeting i couldn't really make out it's because i had i had the big screen was dedicated or it was just a big picture of the judge then i had six i think smaller screens one was the witness and the

The one was the lawyers on both sides and in the courtroom.

And then there was another one pointed towards somewhere else.

So it was really small.

So I couldn't really make out his face.

But just hearing his voice, that to me was a little bit traumatic.

I mean, this is the person that kind of just looked at me in the face and said,

I don't really care what you say.

You're going to prison.

And so to see him, to hear him was kind of traumatic to me.

But it was also kind of, I almost felt like we had accomplished something at that moment because here he was sitting on the stand being interrogated and it flipped on him.

Exactly.

So there was a part of me that felt a certain amount of...

you know, of encouragement by seeing that like, okay, we got here at the very least.
