The initial investigation questioning, I don't think, well, I know, wasn't going to go any further with the police department. They were done. Case closed. We're done. It was an accident.

Jay believed from that morning at his home. that it was intentional and that things did not add up. He was a former DeKalb County police officer, former Rock Hill County police officer, I believe sheriff's deputy, and a detective.

And I remember the conversation with him about this and saying, You know, I'm not going to help Tex anymore. I'm not going to be a spokesman anymore. But my story isn't going to change because I wasn't there. I wasn't in the car. I can only relay what was told to me.

Most people who were in the room who attended, he was there with Danny Joe Carter and a couple of other members of the company. And I believe Jay Grover, every single day of that trial, he sought no interviews. He sought to give no comment. He wanted to witness it. He did. But most of the people in the room didn't know. I mean, certainly they did in the DA's office and certainly the defense did.
