Tanner Mansell

tomorrow.

And said, they're willing to turn themselves in.

Tanner's in Indonesia.

He'll catch the first flight back.

But we need a little bit of time.

And that's when things started getting really serious because the prosecutor started arguing that we couldn't do what's called like a safe surrender or we couldn't turn ourselves in, that they were going to arrest us on our doorstep.

The prosecutor offered us plea deals to plead guilty, and John and I didn't even hesitate.

We were like, no, we're not pleading guilty to something we didn't do.

So we were...

If we would have pled guilty, we would have got misdemeanors, community service, and we had to write a letter of an apology and admit guilt and be like, we did, you know.

And we're like, no, we were like, we're not going to do that because we didn't do anything wrong here.

Our lawyer sat John down before, and they tested him to see how he would hold up.

And John is such a good energy, agreeing kind of guy that he failed so miserably.

So our lawyers were like, look, this prosecutor is going to eat John up if he goes up there.

And I didn't even consider going up there because I'm like, well, if John's not going, I'm not going.

We had four different lawyers representing us, and they said, we don't think that you guys should take the stand.

We think that we have enough evidence here to acquit you.

So we decided not to testify.

The prosecution argued that we intentionally sought out to destroy this fisherman's property because sharks are worth more to us alive than dead.

So we stole, essentially, they said we stole the sharks from them.
