and then they ask him why, and he tells police, well, I was out there that night, but I had been fighting with my girlfriend, and he claims that she chased him down the road.

Well, investigators then interview that girlfriend, and she tells them that that was not true.

It was a lie.

Well, he was expected to take the stand, right?

His defense attorney had said in his opening arguments, statements, that he would, that Brian would testify.

And everyone was looking forward to hearing what he, Miles Bryant, would say.

Susana's family, you know, they wanted answers.

But then Brian chooses not to testify.

And it turns out that he had been speaking to his mother by telephone from jail.

you know, those phone calls are recorded.

And those calls reveal that it was his mother who was the one who convinced him not to take the stand.

She thought the prosecutor would just destroy him, that Miles Bryant, if he testified, would only look worse if he took the stand.

And it seems like Bryant then, in the end, wound up listening to his mother.

Absolutely.

They really don't.

Like I said, they're heartbroken.

They wound up moving from the house that they used to live in.

And even then, her mother didn't want to leave, didn't want to move from that house because she still thought...

That Susanna would walk home and walk in through that front door one of these days.

You know, Bryant requested a new trial.
