Yes.

Detoxification complete.

It's now time for your weekly detox with Tom Schwartz.

Yeah.

Brechen wir doch mal über deinen Traumtyp. Oh, schwierig. Schieß los. Okay, er muss für jedes Abenteuer zu haben sein und natürlich toll aussehen. Und er darf mich nie lang warten lassen.

She never gave up on people, and she never gave up. No matter how hard or how busy, she always spent time with family and friends because it was the most important thing to her. She had every reason to be bitter and wholehearted. Friends had chosen to be warm and full of love.

I'll never forget standing in front of my sister's casket and seeing how much wax they had to put on her face and how much mascara was smudged all underneath her eyes and how her hair was stiff from the wax. I held my sister's hand one last time, not even knowing that it was that hand that stabbed her. I fixed her hair and her necklace, again not knowing that she had wounds there.

I'll never forget the overbearing heartache I felt when I found out what he had done to my sister. The overwhelming anger and disgust. I felt that someone could do this and not have any remorse for what they had done.

Next, Jasmine's cousin, Jacqueline, took the stand. And from the moment she walked up, everyone in the courtroom could see she was carrying something. In her hands, she held an empty vase.

All right, Ms. Y, are you ready? Yes. Will you state your name for the record? Diahomai. Can you describe for the jury your relationship with Jasmine Pace? She was my own husband. Okay, are you ready to read your statement? I'm going to try. All right, thank you. Sixty stones hurled on the shore, one to represent every sad wound found on my beautiful, innocent 22-year-old husband.

For two years and two months, I have thought of this very moment the moment I would have the chance to confront the subhuman villain sitting among us. His mere presence defiles us very poor, and I am so sorry for everyone here that has had the unfortunate fate of having to cross paths with him.

Thank you to everyone that dedicated hours, time away from their families, blood, sweat, tears, and trauma to ensure that whatever justice could be given to my family would be had.

I texted her at 8.49 the morning after we lost Granny. I asked her if she was okay. He responded, I just need some time alone after everything that happened. I have so many questions that torture my mind. One of them is what were you doing for the hour and 12 minutes before you pretended to be the girl you murdered and responded to her family concern for her?

We have a life sentence of pain due to Jason Chen's actions. We will never wake up and have a chance to put this behind us. It will be with us every single day until we leave this earth. It is embedded in our DNA. He should have the same life sentence we bear. He should never be allowed to leave prison and start his life over or put this behind him.

It's all a decision. What do you think? Should he have the ability to get out of prison is the question that you now have to ask yourself. We're not going to go back through the proof. You've heard it. You know it very, very well. But I do want to talk to you for a second about life without the possibility of parole. In the legal system, we refer to it as L-Law.

The state of Tennessee is not always entitled to seek life without the possibility of parole. You've heard now that there have to be aggravating circumstances present for the state to even ask a jury to find life without the possibility of parole. In this case, it's very simple.

Tennessee state law allows life without the possibility of parole if the murder was especially heinous or atrocious or cruel, in that it involved torture or serious physical abuse beyond that necessary to produce death. And then it goes on to define those terms. I hate that I even have to say this, but if he was going to kill her like he did, he could have done it in other ways.

He could have killed her in other ways where we would not be here for this sentencing hearing. If he would have shot her and left her in his apartment, we wouldn't be here for life without the possibility of parole. It doesn't qualify under this aggravating circumstance. If he would have stabbed her once or twice and left her in his apartment, we wouldn't be here.

It doesn't qualify under this aggravating circumstance. He chose not to do that. He chose repeatedly the amount of stones that were in that glass vase to stab her and slice her. And then he chose more physical abuse. I think we can all agree that stuffing her in garbage bags in a suitcase is additional physical abuse on top of what was necessary to kill her.

The medical examiner said that she could have lived for minutes, that even the wound to the neck would not have instantly killed her. That is heinous and atrocious and beyond what was necessary to kill her. That is cruel. That is vile. The entire case is vile. I feel terrible for Jason's family. It is very sad to see his mom up there on that witness stand. Shame on him.

He didn't just do this to Jasmine's family. It is horrible to watch that he did it to his own family. I can't even fathom what they must feel like. But I want you to ask yourself something. Did you see or feel legitimate, genuine remorse for the Pace family? Did you? Does it make it better that he was privileged

that he had parents and a brother that cared about him, that he's been a, quote, good kid, he was a good child, no mental health conditions we've heard about, no issues, he was a student. Does that make it better or does that make it worse?

I think that makes it a lot worse because there are kids in our communities that have hard lives, that struggle with drugs, with mental health issues, that grew up in bad homes. They've had hard, hard life. That's not him. He took everything his family had given him and he squandered it and he ruined the Pace's life. That doesn't make it better. It makes it worse.

All we are asking is that he never gets out of prison. Jasmine Pace never got out of that suitcase until she was in a coffin. in which her family members had to testify today that there had to be so much wax on her body. She was unrecognizable. That is heinous and atrocious and cruel, period.

Just like yesterday, we ask that you go back there, talk about it, make the right decision, and make sure he never gets out of prison.

Hi, I'm Jacqueline.

Perfect. Great memory.

Yes.

And my social security number. Just kidding.

So I know we talked, yes, last night, which you obviously remember, and a couple other people from your team, we talked about this issue, that my number one constraint probably isn't our cancellation rate, but it is something that I'm really perplexed about and want to at least go back with a little bit of something to share with my team about. Sure. So our cancellation rate is a little over 30%.

And this past year, we've lost like a million dollars because people made appointments, confirmed them, and they didn't show up. So if you have any insight on what we could do to start improving that, I would be really grateful.

Yeah. Well, we call and confirm their appointment a week in advance. And then we call and remind them again three days in advance. And then we call them and text them again a day before. And they'll say, yeah, I'm going to be there. And then two o'clock comes and they don't show up.

Okay.

Okay, thank you.

Hi, I'm Jacqueline.

Perfect. Wow. Great memory.

And my social security number is... Yeah.

Okay.

Okay. Awesome. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. No, you bet.

So I've already got the milk.

She's like, okay, that's enough. Thank you. You're done here.

And she's like, literally in like four and a half weeks.

And she's like, oh, we told you that. He did, didn't he? Well, he does. And here's some of the things on there. All right, well.

And Ashley's like, but wait, where were the children?

I may not let my children play with marbles, but I let them play on marble all the time. They say...

How do you do that? You are so talented.

So Gordon just dropped them off. Well, he came to Jacqueline's house to pick up the kids to say he wants to spend time with the kids. And then, you know, how did you get four hours away in Virginia?

So then Ashley's like, well, you know, I didn't know you were having that type of morning, but this morning I woke up feeling some kind of way, you know, the things you said a couple of weeks ago, then you doubled down on last night. I mean, that's crossing a line with Giselle and I just don't like that, you know?

I don't have the capacity right now. She's like, well, I don't know how to show up for you then. She goes, then don't.

Great. Gracias. I'm so worried about my children.

So then Ashley's like, so back in the day, back in the day, there was an idea that Jaclyn and Mia shared a guy who was good with his mouth.

I was like, well, I got a handy in here.

So I'm kind of going to see one of my kids, even though I never see that kid anymore. Like literally who cares about that kid? Am I right? But I do have one there. So you can't say that I'm not going to see my kids because I do have kids there. Listen. Ink can't get on the roller coaster either. So he might as well be one of my kids.

Every time I tried calling, it would say, hello, Mania's not here right now. Please leave a message for Mania.

So then Ashley's like, well, Mia's doing things in an unconventional way and it's challenging our belief systems. You know, there's just so many moving parts. And I just don't know that the decisions.

And then back at dinner, Mia's like, I'm here to celebrate liberation. Yeah.

Yeah.

Everyone's feelings are valid, and I respect your feelings.

So she's like, the objective mom in the next hour is I need to know that my kids are with her. Cause if not, I'm going to get on with the flight and I'm going to go get my kids.

He thinks that I'm probably on vacation with Inc.
