911 DISPATCHER:

20
00:01:04,107 --> 00:01:05,587
Brother, ain't you
from across the street?
21
00:01:05,717 --> 00:01:09,243
[dial tone]
22
00:01:23,909 --> 00:01:26,260
ANGIE: Elkhart, Indiana.
23
00:01:26,390 --> 00:01:27,870
It's, um, very small.
24
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,612
Really small.
25
00:01:30,742 --> 00:01:34,050
You don't realize it's as smallas what it is, but it is small.
26
00:01:38,924 --> 00:01:41,275
Sometimes the only thing hereto do is maybe go to the bar.
27
00:01:41,405 --> 00:01:44,843
And you don't want to
get in trouble here.
28
00:01:44,974 --> 00:01:48,499
We have quotes about Elkhart,like you come here on vacation,
29
00:01:48,630 --> 00:01:52,590
and you can't leave becauseyou end up on probation.
30
00:01:52,721 --> 00:01:55,898
Yeah, it's just a
small town that seems
31
00:01:56,028 --> 00:01:57,334
like everybody knows everybody.
32
00:02:01,338 --> 00:02:03,079
I've lived a big
chunk of my life
33
00:02:03,210 --> 00:02:06,387
on Frances Avenue in Elkhart.
34
00:02:06,517 --> 00:02:10,521
I lived with my parents growingup on the other end of Frances.
35
00:02:10,652 --> 00:02:14,177
We did move out of thearea, but then I came back.
36
00:02:18,529 --> 00:02:20,575
As a young teenager,
a younger age,
37
00:02:20,705 --> 00:02:21,880
I would be at the roller rink.
38
00:02:22,011 --> 00:02:24,579
We all did the
roller rink thing.
39
00:02:24,709 --> 00:02:27,495
We did have a small mall
not too far from here
40
00:02:27,625 --> 00:02:29,671
that we would hang out at.
41
00:02:29,801 --> 00:02:31,499
But there still
wasn't a lot to do.
42
00:02:31,629 --> 00:02:34,980
So of course we had ourparties and underage drinking
43
00:02:35,111 --> 00:02:36,895
issues and things like that.
44
00:02:43,337 --> 00:02:46,862
At 16, I was hanging outwith a good friend of mine.
45
00:02:46,992 --> 00:02:49,430
And her brother was
also close to our age.
46
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,389
And things led to
things, and we end
47
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,652
up getting pregnant with Blake.
48
00:02:54,783 --> 00:02:59,222
And, of course, either oneof us were quite ready.
49
00:02:59,353 --> 00:03:05,185
So I stepped up to be thesingle mother that I had to be.
50
00:03:05,315 --> 00:03:06,795
Went to school-- high school.
51
00:03:06,925 --> 00:03:10,755
After high school, went toa part-time job every day.
52
00:03:10,886 --> 00:03:12,061
And Blake did
everything with me.
53
00:03:12,192 --> 00:03:13,628
Blake was at my graduation.
54
00:03:13,758 --> 00:03:16,326
Blake was in my senior pictures.
55
00:03:16,457 --> 00:03:19,590
I remember I didn't
go to my junior prom
56
00:03:19,721 --> 00:03:22,593
because I was practicallya labor at the time.
57
00:03:22,724 --> 00:03:25,640
It was real close to thesame time that the prom was.
58
00:03:25,770 --> 00:03:27,772
I did make it to my senior
prom, so that was nice.
59
00:03:27,903 --> 00:03:30,819
But yeah, it was--
it wasn't easy being
60
00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:31,559
a single young mother.
61
00:03:42,831 --> 00:03:43,701
But I grew up with Blake.
62
00:03:43,832 --> 00:03:46,138
Blake was my everything.
63
00:03:46,269 --> 00:03:47,444
I've never lived without Blake.
64
00:03:50,969 --> 00:03:52,406
He was my sidekick.
65
00:03:52,536 --> 00:03:55,060
No matter where I
was, Blake was there.
66
00:03:55,191 --> 00:03:56,497
I think that's the hardest part.
67
00:03:56,627 --> 00:03:59,151
It's like we've kind
of grown up together.
68
00:03:59,282 --> 00:04:01,241
And he's always been a bighelp, helping with his brother
69
00:04:01,371 --> 00:04:02,111
and sister, too.
70
00:04:06,289 --> 00:04:11,076
That day, I got a phone callthat there was an incident that
71
00:04:11,207 --> 00:04:12,817
happened a few
blocks from our house
72
00:04:12,948 --> 00:04:15,167
on Frances Avenue statingthere was a lot of police.
73
00:04:18,736 --> 00:04:20,956
So I called my son, Blake,just to see what was
74
00:04:21,086 --> 00:04:23,437
going on in the neighborhood.
75
00:04:23,567 --> 00:04:27,615
But I couldn't get
in touch with him.
76
00:04:27,745 --> 00:04:31,096
KATHERINE: I was at school,and I got a call from Blake's
77
00:04:31,227 --> 00:04:32,446
mom, Angie, freaking out.
78
00:04:32,576 --> 00:04:34,970
Like, there's cops
down the road.
79
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:36,363
I have a feeling
it's about Blake.
80
00:04:36,493 --> 00:04:37,886
Blake's not answering his phone.
81
00:04:42,238 --> 00:04:44,327
ANGIE: I was flipping out.
82
00:04:44,458 --> 00:04:45,415
I know my son.
83
00:04:45,546 --> 00:04:47,069
And I know my son
will pick up my phone
84
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:48,462
call at every phone call.
85
00:04:48,592 --> 00:04:52,379
So I felt in my gut
something was wrong.
86
00:04:52,509 --> 00:04:53,989
KATHERINE: I got
to Blake's house.
87
00:04:54,119 --> 00:04:57,601
There was a whole bunch copsand ambulances down the street.
88
00:04:57,732 --> 00:04:59,386
ANGIE: I talked to
an officer, but I
89
00:04:59,516 --> 00:05:01,823
was denied any
information, or if it
90
00:05:01,953 --> 00:05:05,566
had anything to do with my son.
91
00:05:05,696 --> 00:05:09,309
Somebody said five of teenagershad broke into a home,
92
00:05:09,439 --> 00:05:13,574
and that my son was involved.
93
00:05:13,704 --> 00:05:15,880
The next thing I find outis pretty much that two
94
00:05:16,011 --> 00:05:18,622
of the kids had been shot.
95
00:05:18,753 --> 00:05:22,409
One was alive, and one was dead.
96
00:05:22,539 --> 00:05:27,239
I didn't know if it
was my son that w--
97
00:05:27,370 --> 00:05:28,415
was gone.
98
00:05:28,545 --> 00:05:29,285
Which passed.
99
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,551
KATHERINE: Angie
left to the hospital
100
00:05:34,682 --> 00:05:36,597
to see if Blake was there.
101
00:05:36,727 --> 00:05:39,382
And an officer
showed up and said
102
00:05:39,513 --> 00:05:40,992
that we had to talked
to Officer Price, which
103
00:05:41,123 --> 00:05:42,646
was the homicide detective.
104
00:05:42,777 --> 00:05:44,256
So at that point, we
were all, oh my gosh.
105
00:05:44,387 --> 00:05:48,260
Like, something reallybad has happened to Blake.
106
00:05:48,391 --> 00:05:50,219
ANGIE: On the way
to the hospital,
107
00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:52,003
the police station called me.
108
00:05:52,134 --> 00:05:53,657
They had Blake.
109
00:05:53,788 --> 00:05:56,660
He had been shot in
somebody else's home.
110
00:05:56,791 --> 00:05:59,315
And so I went to the
Elkhart Police station.
111
00:05:59,446 --> 00:06:00,795
I got questioned quite a bit.
112
00:06:00,925 --> 00:06:02,753
I just kept asking
to see my son.
113
00:06:02,884 --> 00:06:04,059
And at the time, he's 16.
114
00:06:04,189 --> 00:06:06,235
I should've been
able to see him.
115
00:06:06,366 --> 00:06:09,978
They wanted me to sign thepaper to have him questioned.
116
00:06:10,108 --> 00:06:11,545
And they told me that theywere charging him with murder.
117
00:06:15,897 --> 00:06:19,204
KATHERINE: The first personthat Blake called was me.
118
00:06:19,335 --> 00:06:22,382
He called me, and
he was bawling,
119
00:06:22,512 --> 00:06:23,818
talking about how he messed up.
120
00:06:23,948 --> 00:06:26,777
And he wishes that he
had never done anything.
121
00:06:26,908 --> 00:06:30,390
He was just sobbing.
122
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,350
[somber music]
123
00:06:57,982 --> 00:06:59,593
MALE REPORTER 1:Prosecutors announce four
124
00:06:59,723 --> 00:07:01,595
men are facing murder charges.
125
00:07:01,725 --> 00:07:03,727
And Judy, why are
these men being charged
126
00:07:03,858 --> 00:07:05,468
with murder when they
didn't pull the trigger
127
00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:06,687
that killed their friend?
128
00:07:06,817 --> 00:07:08,384
FEMALE REPORTER 1: Well,
Brian, the prosecutor
129
00:07:08,515 --> 00:07:09,733
made it very clear today.
130
00:07:09,864 --> 00:07:12,344
Under Indiana law, when you'rein the midst of engaging
131
00:07:12,475 --> 00:07:14,956
in criminal behavior
and someone is killed,
132
00:07:15,086 --> 00:07:17,045
murder is an available charge.
133
00:07:17,175 --> 00:07:20,048
It sends a strong messageto criminals here that crime
134
00:07:20,178 --> 00:07:20,962
will not be tolerated.
135
00:07:25,662 --> 00:07:28,448
[bell chimes]
136
00:07:52,776 --> 00:07:54,691
We live day to day.
137
00:07:54,822 --> 00:07:56,780
We live day to day, you know?
138
00:07:56,911 --> 00:08:00,697
You-- you fill your
time out the right way.
139
00:08:00,828 --> 00:08:04,179
You occupy your time
with the right things
140
00:08:04,309 --> 00:08:06,050
and avoid the wrong.
141
00:08:06,181 --> 00:08:07,661
You know, it's prison.
142
00:08:07,791 --> 00:08:10,098
You're surrounded by
negative all the time.
143
00:08:10,228 --> 00:08:12,404
Be a light in the
dark, you know?
144
00:08:12,535 --> 00:08:15,495
Be the one that's different.
145
00:08:15,625 --> 00:08:18,802
It's hard.
146
00:08:18,933 --> 00:08:20,282
It's been nine months
already, and I'm
147
00:08:20,412 --> 00:08:21,196
still waiting on my trial.
148
00:08:24,155 --> 00:08:27,071
I mean, you don't get tophysically see your family,
149
00:08:27,202 --> 00:08:28,420
you know?
150
00:08:28,551 --> 00:08:30,510
You're talking to
the only people that
151
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,904
are there for you over a phone.
152
00:08:34,035 --> 00:08:36,820
Over a screen.
153
00:08:36,951 --> 00:08:38,430
And it's tough.
154
00:08:38,561 --> 00:08:42,043
You're in this big
place all by yourself,
155
00:08:42,173 --> 00:08:46,003
and you can't even give yourmom a hug, or your girl,
156
00:08:46,134 --> 00:08:46,874
or-- nothing.
157
00:08:55,143 --> 00:08:55,709
I wasn't a bad kid.
158
00:08:59,974 --> 00:09:00,888
I made mistakes.
159
00:09:01,018 --> 00:09:01,541
Every kid does.
160
00:09:05,370 --> 00:09:06,415
Tried to play sports
when I was younger.
161
00:09:06,546 --> 00:09:07,547
Didn't really like it.
162
00:09:07,677 --> 00:09:08,722
Didn't do it.
163
00:09:08,852 --> 00:09:11,289
MAN: Come on, Blakey.
164
00:09:11,420 --> 00:09:15,163
Come on, Blakey-bloo.
165
00:09:15,293 --> 00:09:16,512
[chuckles]
166
00:09:16,643 --> 00:09:19,689
When I got older, started--
167
00:09:19,820 --> 00:09:23,824
tried getting high,
stuff like that.
168
00:09:23,954 --> 00:09:25,869
Just kind of startedhanging out with, you know,
169
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,001
guys that were
doing I was doing.
170
00:09:27,131 --> 00:09:29,177
So that's all we did, you know?
171
00:09:29,307 --> 00:09:30,047
Kicked it and got high.
172
00:09:36,140 --> 00:09:43,539
That day, I was with Anthony,Jose, Levi, and Danzele.
173
00:09:43,670 --> 00:09:45,106
I had known most
for a long time.
174
00:09:45,236 --> 00:09:47,108
All good friends.
175
00:09:47,238 --> 00:09:48,762
I don't know why we
decided we were going
176
00:09:48,892 --> 00:09:50,415
to break into somebody's house.
177
00:09:50,546 --> 00:09:51,286
I think it was money.
178
00:09:51,416 --> 00:09:52,330
Probably to get higher.
179
00:09:52,461 --> 00:09:54,202
I don't know.
180
00:09:54,332 --> 00:09:56,421
We knocked on people's houses,see if anybody was home.
181
00:09:56,552 --> 00:09:57,553
One house had dogs or something.
182
00:09:57,684 --> 00:09:59,163
I don't remember.
183
00:09:59,294 --> 00:10:03,515
And then pretty sure it wasJose that said something
184
00:10:03,646 --> 00:10:06,606
about the house across thestreet, not being there a lot,
185
00:10:06,736 --> 00:10:08,738
and at work.
186
00:10:08,869 --> 00:10:11,654
So we knocked on that door.
187
00:10:11,785 --> 00:10:13,395
Nobody picked up.
188
00:10:13,525 --> 00:10:16,790
And, you know, in our heads,that meant no one was there.
189
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,401
At that point, Levi
decided to stay back
190
00:10:19,531 --> 00:10:20,184
and kind of became the lookout.
191
00:10:24,362 --> 00:10:26,234
And kind of want to sayDanzele kicked the door in.
192
00:10:26,364 --> 00:10:27,627
We went inside.
193
00:10:27,757 --> 00:10:29,454
And we weren't in there
probably a minute.
194
00:10:29,585 --> 00:10:31,805
Not very long at all.
195
00:10:31,935 --> 00:10:33,676
There was a wallet and a watch.
196
00:10:33,807 --> 00:10:35,286
I just grabbed it.
197
00:10:35,417 --> 00:10:38,246
And that's when thehomeowner had come downstairs
198
00:10:38,376 --> 00:10:41,118
and began shooting.
199
00:10:41,249 --> 00:10:42,990
We're all in a bedroom.
200
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,951
And we turned around and
run back in a closet.
201
00:10:48,082 --> 00:10:51,041
I didn't know I'd got shotuntil I grabbed my leg
202
00:10:51,172 --> 00:10:51,912
and it started hurting.
203
00:10:52,042 --> 00:10:54,523
And I realized, oh, yeah.
204
00:10:54,654 --> 00:10:55,480
I was shot.
205
00:11:01,095 --> 00:11:04,968
And then I noticed thatDanzele was kind of falling.
206
00:11:05,099 --> 00:11:07,188
And I kind of looked over,
and I seen on his chest
207
00:11:07,318 --> 00:11:12,280
that his sweater was all red.
208
00:11:12,410 --> 00:11:14,717
And then it kind of clicked inmy hand, like, oh, you know,
209
00:11:14,848 --> 00:11:17,285
he got shot.
210
00:11:17,415 --> 00:11:19,243
I tried to pull
him in the closet,
211
00:11:19,374 --> 00:11:21,593
and I felt the blood on my hand.
212
00:11:24,684 --> 00:11:26,076
And that's when he had died.
213
00:11:42,571 --> 00:11:46,618
CURTIS HILL: The law is
quite clear that if one
214
00:11:46,749 --> 00:11:48,316
engages in a felony--
215
00:11:48,446 --> 00:11:50,753
and particular
felony, burglary--
216
00:11:50,884 --> 00:11:54,191
and, during the commissionof that burglary, someone
217
00:11:54,322 --> 00:11:58,805
dies as a result, that wecan charge felony murder.
218
00:11:58,935 --> 00:12:00,894
To the future criminals,
that message is, gee,
219
00:12:01,024 --> 00:12:03,418
if you go breaking
into somebody's house
220
00:12:03,548 --> 00:12:06,551
and somebody dies as a result,Elkhart County is going
221
00:12:06,682 --> 00:12:08,553
to hold you up for murder.
222
00:12:08,684 --> 00:12:09,903
And I think that's animportant standard to have.
223
00:12:18,955 --> 00:12:19,651
ANGIE: They're
going to be raised
224
00:12:19,782 --> 00:12:21,653
with criminals for years.
225
00:12:21,784 --> 00:12:23,264
If they're gonna put themwith that kind of time,
226
00:12:23,394 --> 00:12:25,309
they're going to go to
the worst of the worst.
227
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,746
[inaudible]
228
00:12:26,876 --> 00:12:29,357
Because they're max security,because they're murderers.
229
00:12:29,487 --> 00:12:33,013
That just makes me so
sick to my stomach.
230
00:12:33,143 --> 00:12:34,666
TAMMY: That's too much.
231
00:12:34,797 --> 00:12:36,016
I get myself--
232
00:12:36,146 --> 00:12:38,105
ANGIE: That's why we'vegot to keep things going.
233
00:12:38,235 --> 00:12:39,628
It helps.
234
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:44,894
But we need to do arecent summary of the case
235
00:12:45,025 --> 00:12:46,809
and what has
happened to put on--
236
00:12:46,940 --> 00:12:48,332
Update the flyers,
I was thinking.
237
00:12:48,463 --> 00:12:49,507
That's what I
was thinking, too.
238
00:12:49,638 --> 00:12:50,595
I was like, I need to
go through there and--
239
00:12:50,726 --> 00:12:51,814
We don't want to
draw it all out either,
240
00:12:51,945 --> 00:12:53,642
because they did commit
a crime, and they
241
00:12:53,773 --> 00:12:54,730
deserve to be punished.
242
00:12:54,861 --> 00:12:56,297
Oh, definitely.
243
00:12:56,427 --> 00:12:57,777
It's not like we're justtrying to get out of it.
244
00:12:57,907 --> 00:12:59,996
We know Blake didwrong, and we know that he
245
00:13:00,127 --> 00:13:02,825
broke into that man's house.
246
00:13:02,956 --> 00:13:04,784
But charge him with what he did.
247
00:13:04,914 --> 00:13:07,395
Charge him for the breakingand entering, even burglary.
248
00:13:07,525 --> 00:13:10,093
It's a six- to 20-year
sentence for these kids.
249
00:13:10,224 --> 00:13:12,008
Felony murder is stretching.
250
00:13:12,139 --> 00:13:16,273
It's cruel punishment
to these teenagers.
251
00:13:16,404 --> 00:13:20,147
The felony murder rule, it'sjust-- it's very outdated.
252
00:13:20,277 --> 00:13:22,410
You don't have to prove
an intent to kill any--
253
00:13:22,540 --> 00:13:24,629
I mean, you don't evenactually have to do the murder
254
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:25,805
to be charged with it.
255
00:13:25,935 --> 00:13:28,590
I just think that's ridiculous.
256
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,594
All they have to do is provethat you were in the commission
257
00:13:32,724 --> 00:13:35,075
of the alleged crime.
258
00:13:35,205 --> 00:13:36,946
That blew me away, and I've beendealing with the legal system
259
00:13:37,077 --> 00:13:38,078
for years.
260
00:13:38,208 --> 00:13:39,035
They caught me
completely off guard.
261
00:13:42,386 --> 00:13:45,476
[guitar music]
262
00:13:53,267 --> 00:13:54,529
ANGIE: The day before
our trial was beginning,
263
00:13:54,659 --> 00:13:57,314
I had myself prepared
for the worst.
264
00:13:57,445 --> 00:14:00,361
Prepared for a guiltyverdict of felony murder.
265
00:14:00,491 --> 00:14:06,106
But as I went through thetrial, and the week, and I--
266
00:14:06,236 --> 00:14:08,369
I thought, if anything,
them 12 jurors--
267
00:14:08,499 --> 00:14:10,762
somebody was going to decidenot to send these boys away
268
00:14:10,893 --> 00:14:11,589
for the rest of their lives.
269
00:14:15,158 --> 00:14:17,247
It seemed like we
had a nice juror.
270
00:14:17,378 --> 00:14:18,988
It would've been
fair and decent.
271
00:14:19,119 --> 00:14:22,078
There was like eight
females, four males.
272
00:14:22,209 --> 00:14:23,775
Some of them a couple
schoolteachers.
273
00:14:23,906 --> 00:14:26,430
I just-- I just had big
hope that these people
274
00:14:26,561 --> 00:14:28,563
would not charge these boyswith something they didn't do.
275
00:14:31,740 --> 00:14:33,698
KATHERINE: I got
Blake's hopes up because
276
00:14:33,829 --> 00:14:36,049
of how good trial was looking.
277
00:14:36,179 --> 00:14:37,311
We were talking on
the phone those days
278
00:14:37,441 --> 00:14:39,182
like, man, we got this case.
279
00:14:39,313 --> 00:14:40,053
Like, we're going to win.
280
00:14:40,183 --> 00:14:41,184
You're going to come home.
281
00:14:41,315 --> 00:14:44,144
You're going to get
charged with burglary.
282
00:14:44,274 --> 00:14:45,841
As we sit here today,
we have the death
283
00:14:45,972 --> 00:14:49,453
of Danzele Johnson, whichis absolutely unvindicated.
284
00:14:49,584 --> 00:14:53,414
Not one of them truly didaccept responsibility.
285
00:14:53,544 --> 00:14:56,330
You know, our laws do notcome close to addressing
286
00:14:56,460 --> 00:14:59,768
what a violent attack-- aburglary-- is on your home.
287
00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:01,291
I mean, where do our
children feel safe?
288
00:15:01,422 --> 00:15:02,727
They feel safe in their beds.
289
00:15:02,858 --> 00:15:05,252
And they don't think that peopleare going to violate that,
290
00:15:05,382 --> 00:15:06,862
and yet that's exactly
what happened here.
291
00:15:11,301 --> 00:15:12,824
CURTIS HILL: Everybody isentitled to their opinion.
292
00:15:12,955 --> 00:15:15,088
That's what this Americansystem is all about.
293
00:15:15,218 --> 00:15:17,090
I'm not here to
address concerns.
294
00:15:17,220 --> 00:15:20,789
Certainly anyone who's
involved in the case
295
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,270
from a family standpoint,this is a tough day.
296
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,012
But whatever the jury
decides, we live with.
297
00:15:31,408 --> 00:15:33,454
ANGIE: At about
10 till midnight,
298
00:15:33,584 --> 00:15:35,935
they came back with a verdict.
299
00:15:36,065 --> 00:15:39,112
And as soon as I sat downand they brought the jurors in,
300
00:15:39,242 --> 00:15:40,461
I felt it in my stomach.
301
00:15:43,768 --> 00:15:48,686
I just remember, basically,when they read the verdict,
302
00:15:48,817 --> 00:15:51,646
them saying Anthony's name.
303
00:15:51,776 --> 00:15:52,908
Hearing all three guilties.
304
00:15:53,039 --> 00:15:55,955
And Blake stood up.
305
00:15:56,085 --> 00:15:59,393
He looked back, and hisface was just full of tears.
306
00:15:59,523 --> 00:16:02,309
Like, his face was all droopy.
307
00:16:02,439 --> 00:16:04,746
And I don't remember
seeing anything else.
308
00:16:04,876 --> 00:16:08,706
[somber music]
309
00:16:49,182 --> 00:16:50,748
[sobbing]
310
00:16:50,879 --> 00:16:52,228
I wish that there
would have been
311
00:16:52,359 --> 00:16:55,144
a different outcome becausethey did not commit a murder.
312
00:16:55,275 --> 00:16:58,017
They did not pull that trigger.
313
00:16:58,147 --> 00:16:59,279
CURTIS HILL: That's
a tough message.
314
00:16:59,409 --> 00:17:00,758
But it's the right
message, because we
315
00:17:00,889 --> 00:17:02,108
have to take a
position that when
316
00:17:02,238 --> 00:17:04,023
you break into
someone's home, you
317
00:17:04,153 --> 00:17:05,589
have to be held accountable.
318
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:10,812
It's certainly a verdictthat I think is appropriate.
319
00:17:10,942 --> 00:17:13,510
MALE REPORTER 2: Now an updateon a deadly Elkhart county home
320
00:17:13,641 --> 00:17:14,555
invasion that took place last--
321
00:17:14,685 --> 00:17:15,817
FEMALE REPORTER 2: --weekend.
322
00:17:15,947 --> 00:17:16,992
And Kelly, those boyswill likely end up serving
323
00:17:17,123 --> 00:17:18,689
half their sentences, if that.
324
00:17:18,820 --> 00:17:21,127
FEMALE REPORTER 3: --because ofday-for-day credit in Indiana.
325
00:17:21,257 --> 00:17:23,738
The judge also recommended
drug counseling
326
00:17:23,868 --> 00:17:26,828
for the three of them since theywere high on marijuana the day
327
00:17:26,958 --> 00:17:28,221
the home invasion happened.
328
00:17:28,351 --> 00:17:29,396
But their fight isn't over.
329
00:17:29,526 --> 00:17:30,179
FEMALE REPORTER 4: Now,
this whole case has been
330
00:17:30,310 --> 00:17:31,354
going on for about 10 months.
331
00:17:31,485 --> 00:17:32,790
Is there any word the
families will appeal?
332
00:17:32,921 --> 00:17:33,965
FEMALE REPORTER 5: They planto fight this until the end.
333
00:17:34,096 --> 00:17:35,228
So that could mean appeals.
334
00:17:35,358 --> 00:17:36,229
FEMALE REPORTER 4: All right.
335
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:37,447
Tricia Harte, live
from the newsroom.
336
00:17:37,578 --> 00:17:38,318
Thank you.
337
00:17:45,542 --> 00:17:46,630
We'll never get
this puzzle done.
338
00:17:46,761 --> 00:17:47,544
[chuckle]
339
00:17:50,417 --> 00:17:53,376
Curtis Hill can't catch areal murderer in Elkhart.
340
00:17:53,507 --> 00:17:55,987
So he's got to go and
make stats for himself.
341
00:18:01,254 --> 00:18:02,864
I've always loved
the United States.
342
00:18:02,994 --> 00:18:05,736
I've always had pride
in the United States.
343
00:18:05,867 --> 00:18:07,260
But this is not just.
344
00:18:07,390 --> 00:18:10,654
That makes you wonder,
is this the right place
345
00:18:10,785 --> 00:18:11,394
to raise my family?
346
00:18:14,571 --> 00:18:17,400
You break into a home
that you think is empty.
347
00:18:17,531 --> 00:18:19,315
You don't have any weapons.
348
00:18:19,446 --> 00:18:22,971
You retreat the entire timewhen somebody comes in.
349
00:18:23,102 --> 00:18:26,888
How can the United
States put some--
350
00:18:27,018 --> 00:18:28,542
a child, no less--

00:18:28,672 --> 00:18:30,152
not an adult, but a child--
352
00:18:30,283 --> 00:18:32,589
in prison for that
amount of time?
353
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,593
To completely destroy theirlife, their family life?
354
00:18:36,724 --> 00:18:39,466
And I understand that thischild should be punished.
355
00:18:39,596 --> 00:18:42,251
There's no doubt in my mind thatthat child should be punished.
356
00:18:42,382 --> 00:18:43,252
But--
357
00:18:43,383 --> 00:18:44,558
People that actually
kill someone--
358
00:18:44,688 --> 00:18:45,341
Yes.
359
00:18:45,472 --> 00:18:46,429
--are getting less time than--
360
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,039
Are getting less
time than-- than this
361
00:18:48,170 --> 00:18:50,955
child that made a bad choice.
362
00:18:51,086 --> 00:18:52,522
And he needs to learn from that.
363
00:18:52,653 --> 00:18:53,393
But--
364
00:18:53,523 --> 00:18:54,524
It wasn't murder.
365
00:18:54,655 --> 00:18:57,788
It was not murder.
366
00:18:57,919 --> 00:19:00,443
I mean, I can't even get
on the internet sites
367
00:19:00,574 --> 00:19:02,576
where there's a storyabout this because people
368
00:19:02,706 --> 00:19:05,013
make me sick with the waythey're "lock these thugs up.
369
00:19:05,144 --> 00:19:06,232
They deserve
everything they get."
370
00:19:06,362 --> 00:19:08,103
You don't know these kids.
371
00:19:08,234 --> 00:19:10,801
They're not gang members thathave been running the street.
372
00:19:10,932 --> 00:19:11,759
This is his first offense.
373
00:19:27,383 --> 00:19:30,081
ANGIE: This case has alreadycost us a lot of money.
374
00:19:30,212 --> 00:19:33,041
Paid our first lawyer 15,000.
375
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:37,132
And now we're starting
all over for the appeal.
376
00:19:37,263 --> 00:19:39,395
We have to find a new lawyer,which is probably going
377
00:19:39,526 --> 00:19:41,745
to cost more than that one did.
378
00:19:41,876 --> 00:19:45,053
So we're having prayer
rally-slash-cookout.
379
00:19:45,184 --> 00:19:46,228
We're supplying the meat.
380
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:47,751
Everybody's [inaudible] inside.
381
00:19:47,882 --> 00:19:49,666
We'll have a jar out there.
382
00:19:49,797 --> 00:19:52,887
We're gonna try to raisemore money for the appeal.
383
00:19:53,017 --> 00:19:55,455
It's going to be a
long, expensive process.
384
00:19:55,585 --> 00:19:56,760
RICK: I want to thankeach and every one of you
385
00:19:56,891 --> 00:19:58,240
for your support.
386
00:19:58,371 --> 00:20:01,200
We appreciate
everything you've done.
387
00:20:01,330 --> 00:20:02,679
Appreciate you
coming out here today
388
00:20:02,810 --> 00:20:05,769
to enjoy this beautiful
Labor Day with us.
389
00:20:05,900 --> 00:20:09,947
And we would like to
give something back now
390
00:20:10,078 --> 00:20:12,515
and give some thanks
to the Good Lord.
391
00:20:12,646 --> 00:20:15,997
I ask, Father, that Youlook over these young men
392
00:20:16,127 --> 00:20:19,218
and give them the strengthand courage they need to lead
393
00:20:19,348 --> 00:20:21,176
others in hopes that
they can be a light
394
00:20:21,307 --> 00:20:23,091
in a dark place,
Father, and that they
395
00:20:23,222 --> 00:20:24,658
can lead others to You.
396
00:20:24,788 --> 00:20:26,747
In Jesus precious name we pray.
397
00:20:26,877 --> 00:20:27,878
Amen.
398
00:20:28,009 --> 00:20:29,271
[phone rings]
399
00:20:29,402 --> 00:20:30,577
You guys ready for
some kickball or what?
400
00:20:30,707 --> 00:20:31,795
[laughter]
401
00:20:31,926 --> 00:20:34,233
Hello?
402
00:20:34,363 --> 00:20:35,582
What's up, son?
403
00:20:35,712 --> 00:20:38,541
We got a lot of people outhere that showed up, man.
404
00:20:38,672 --> 00:20:39,934
A lot of people showed
up here to support
405
00:20:40,064 --> 00:20:41,240
you now and the cause.
406
00:20:44,895 --> 00:20:47,768
It's going to seem worse,but it'll get better.
407
00:20:47,898 --> 00:20:48,334
You know?
408
00:20:51,989 --> 00:20:55,732
[inaudible] I'm-- I'm gonnaput you on with Katherine, OK?
409
00:20:55,863 --> 00:20:56,994
She's-- she's mugging me.
410
00:20:57,125 --> 00:20:57,952
KATHERINE: No, I am not.
411
00:20:58,082 --> 00:21:00,824
She hasn't took
her eyeballs off me.
412
00:21:00,955 --> 00:21:01,825
All right, son.
413
00:21:01,956 --> 00:21:02,870
I love you, Blake.
414
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:03,697
Keep your head up.
415
00:21:06,569 --> 00:21:07,309
Hello?
416
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,057
RICK: I missed a big
part of Blake's life
417
00:21:16,187 --> 00:21:19,843
that I've spent in prison.
418
00:21:19,974 --> 00:21:22,106
They call it theDepartment of Corrections,
419
00:21:22,237 --> 00:21:24,544
but there's not much--
420
00:21:24,674 --> 00:21:28,112
it's not really set
up to correct anybody.
421
00:21:28,243 --> 00:21:29,897
Most of the people I knowthat have spent time--
422
00:21:30,027 --> 00:21:34,205
long, long prison terms--
423
00:21:34,336 --> 00:21:36,120
don't come out much
better than what
424
00:21:36,251 --> 00:21:37,078
they were when they went in.
425
00:21:40,037 --> 00:21:41,517
There's no preparing
yourself for that.
426
00:21:41,648 --> 00:21:43,606
But I try to talk
to him and prepare
427
00:21:43,737 --> 00:21:49,133
him to be ready to deal withwhat he's going to experience.
428
00:21:54,095 --> 00:21:56,010
He's a strong kid.
429
00:21:56,140 --> 00:21:57,664
And I know he has
the right intentions,
430
00:21:57,794 --> 00:22:00,275
and I know he'll
do the right thing.
431
00:22:00,406 --> 00:22:01,929
But I'm scared for him.
432
00:22:02,059 --> 00:22:07,108
I-- I just can't--
433
00:22:07,238 --> 00:22:08,414
I can't even find the words.
434
00:22:08,544 --> 00:22:09,284
I don't--
435
00:22:21,470 --> 00:22:25,082
I don't want him to experiencethe things I experienced
436
00:22:25,213 --> 00:22:27,737
and make the choices I made.
437
00:22:27,868 --> 00:22:29,609
I wish I could, you
know, push a button
438
00:22:29,739 --> 00:22:31,785
and make all this go away.
439
00:22:31,915 --> 00:22:36,006
Or go with him and protecthim every step of it.
440
00:22:43,405 --> 00:22:45,625
I'm home, and our
family's reunited,
441
00:22:45,755 --> 00:22:46,539
and we're all together.
442
00:22:46,669 --> 00:22:48,192
It's what we've
all always wanted,
443
00:22:48,323 --> 00:22:50,064
and he's been taken away.
444
00:23:13,479 --> 00:23:15,481
A long time ago,
all I remember
445
00:23:15,611 --> 00:23:20,094
is watching "Cops"
on TV and, like,
446
00:23:20,224 --> 00:23:23,967
seeing them help their communityand all other things that
447
00:23:24,098 --> 00:23:25,708
come along with being a cop.
448
00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:27,057
I wanted to be a part
of that, you know?
449
00:23:27,188 --> 00:23:31,235
I wanted to be helping peopleand putting the bad ones away
450
00:23:31,366 --> 00:23:33,586
and, you know, all that.
451
00:23:33,716 --> 00:23:34,674
I was actually getting
law enforcement
452
00:23:34,804 --> 00:23:36,415
credits at the career center.
453
00:23:36,545 --> 00:23:39,156
And then, in the middle ofall that, Blake got arrested.
454
00:23:42,333 --> 00:23:44,640
At first, I didn't really talkabout it with a lot of people
455
00:23:44,771 --> 00:23:47,295
because most of
it was, you know,
456
00:23:47,426 --> 00:23:48,949
you're stupid for
staying with him.
457
00:23:49,079 --> 00:23:52,822
And so I didn't really talkabout it law enforcement class.
458
00:23:52,953 --> 00:23:56,739
But when I did, it just
made me want to cry.
459
00:23:56,870 --> 00:23:57,610
Like, it was bad.
460
00:24:11,275 --> 00:24:13,713
They were just thugs, and theydeserve to be where they are.
461
00:24:13,843 --> 00:24:16,672
And if they get life,
well then, so be it.
462
00:24:16,803 --> 00:24:19,501
That was just a lot
for me, especially
463
00:24:19,632 --> 00:24:21,329
since I've been datingthis kid for, like, a year.
464
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:23,810
And everybody
knows, and they just
465
00:24:23,940 --> 00:24:25,942
still decide to talk about it.
466
00:24:26,073 --> 00:24:28,467
It was hard.
467
00:24:28,597 --> 00:24:29,990
I just don't feel
like I could ever
468
00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:33,559
be a part of law enforcement.
469
00:24:33,689 --> 00:24:36,953
I know I should have pursuedit and made a change.
470
00:24:37,084 --> 00:24:39,521
But there was just
something about it
471
00:24:39,652 --> 00:24:50,837
that I just cut everybody off
472
00:24:50,967 --> 00:24:52,752
ANGIE: Destiny, what
are you studying?
473
00:24:52,882 --> 00:24:53,579
Triangles.
474
00:24:53,709 --> 00:24:54,754
Oh, I seen that
you were looking
475
00:24:54,884 --> 00:24:56,320
triangles up on the iPad.
476
00:24:56,451 --> 00:24:57,931
Oh, yeah.
477
00:24:58,061 --> 00:25:00,455
You must've been havingtrouble with your homework.
478
00:25:00,586 --> 00:25:01,325
This is confusing.
479
00:25:04,764 --> 00:25:05,504
90 plus 26.
480
00:25:09,029 --> 00:25:10,683
That's two angles.
481
00:25:10,813 --> 00:25:14,121
This whole situation wasreally, really hard for Destiny.
482
00:25:14,251 --> 00:25:17,211
When she was born,
she was diagnosed with
483
00:25:17,341 --> 00:25:20,344
an astrocytomas brain tumor.
484
00:25:20,475 --> 00:25:22,172
They say that it
was not operable.
485
00:25:22,303 --> 00:25:23,043
It spread out.
486
00:25:23,173 --> 00:25:25,001
It's not like a one-spot tumor.
487
00:25:25,132 --> 00:25:29,745
It's different spots
all over the brain.
488
00:25:29,876 --> 00:25:31,442
The doctors were sayingshe was going to be blind.
489
00:25:31,573 --> 00:25:32,966
You know, they thoughtshe probably wouldn't even
490
00:25:33,096 --> 00:25:34,968
make it till five.
491
00:25:35,098 --> 00:25:37,057
She started chemo right away.
492
00:25:37,187 --> 00:25:38,972
She's been through a few roundsof chemo through the years.
493
00:25:39,102 --> 00:25:40,147
What time is it?
494
00:25:40,277 --> 00:25:41,017
[inaudible]
495
00:25:41,148 --> 00:25:44,107
I don't know, but we can go.
496
00:25:44,238 --> 00:25:46,414
Yeah, 8:24.
497
00:25:46,545 --> 00:25:49,809
But she pretty much quit whenthis all happened with Blake.
498
00:25:49,939 --> 00:25:51,027
That was her rock.
499
00:25:51,158 --> 00:25:51,941
Blake did a lot.
500
00:25:52,072 --> 00:25:53,334
He went to chemo.
501
00:25:53,464 --> 00:25:56,555
Did the medicine with herin the middle of night.
502
00:25:56,685 --> 00:25:57,860
Very involved with Destiny.
503
00:25:57,991 --> 00:25:59,906
So when this situation
happened, she
504
00:26:00,036 --> 00:26:01,429
refused to take chemo pills.
505
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,563
She just stopped.
506
00:26:04,693 --> 00:26:07,087
So we had to have a
meeting at the hospital
507
00:26:07,217 --> 00:26:09,611
with the nurse, the doctor.
508
00:26:09,742 --> 00:26:12,266
We all discussed what
to do in the situation,
509
00:26:12,396 --> 00:26:16,270
and we chose to let
her take a break.
510
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,620
So she has been
totally off everything.
511
00:26:18,751 --> 00:26:22,406
But she still has
the brain tumor.
512
00:26:22,537 --> 00:26:24,234
Every three months,
we go to the hospital.
513
00:26:24,365 --> 00:26:29,109
Get an MRI check on it, makesure it's not growing any.
514
00:26:29,239 --> 00:26:31,024
Unfortunately, we kind ofgot a little rough news
515
00:26:31,154 --> 00:26:34,114
that there was a little bitof color difference, which
516
00:26:34,244 --> 00:26:36,203
means that it could be active.
517
00:26:36,333 --> 00:26:37,683
But we're going
to just watch it,
518
00:26:37,813 --> 00:26:39,293
and hopefully we'll
just stay on break,
519
00:26:39,423 --> 00:26:40,076
and we won't have to [inaudible]
520
00:26:40,207 --> 00:26:41,251
Oh, I'm late.
521
00:26:41,382 --> 00:26:42,296
I'm getting out of the car.
522
00:26:42,426 --> 00:26:43,166
ANGIE: All right.
523
00:26:43,297 --> 00:26:44,298
I love you.
524
00:26:44,428 --> 00:26:45,473
DESTINY: I'll probably
never see you again.
525
00:26:45,604 --> 00:26:47,214
ANGIE: Destiny!
526
00:26:47,344 --> 00:26:50,173
All right, I'll be here atwhat time, um, to pick you up?
527
00:26:50,304 --> 00:26:52,219
Oh my gosh.
528
00:26:52,349 --> 00:26:53,960
I love you!
529
00:26:54,090 --> 00:26:54,830
DESTINY: No, you don't.
530
00:26:54,961 --> 00:26:57,311
ANGIE: [chuckling] Bye, Destiny!
531
00:27:15,329 --> 00:27:17,157
Son?
532
00:27:17,287 --> 00:27:18,724
Come on, baby.
533
00:27:18,854 --> 00:27:20,029
WOMAN: Do you want to tryand [inaudible] or no?
534
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:20,856
BOY: No, I'm good.WOMAN: Do you want to light his?
535
00:27:20,987 --> 00:27:22,336
BOY: No, I'm good!
536
00:27:22,466 --> 00:27:24,643
It may go out of the way, butwe'll relight it if it does.
537
00:27:56,849 --> 00:27:59,678
ANGIE: We just want to rememberthe day there was a life lost
538
00:27:59,808 --> 00:28:02,724
here, and a young man too soon.
539
00:28:02,855 --> 00:28:04,552
Way too soon.
540
00:28:04,683 --> 00:28:07,686
Danzele's mom will neverbe able to hug him again.
541
00:28:07,816 --> 00:28:08,556
BOY: Amen.
542
00:28:08,687 --> 00:28:09,470
WOMAN: Amen.
543
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,167
Amen.
544
00:28:11,298 --> 00:28:13,517
BOY: If we could all justbow our heads for a minute.
545
00:28:13,648 --> 00:28:16,607
Dear Heavenly Father, wecome to you on this holy day
546
00:28:16,738 --> 00:28:20,089
just to ask for
Danzele's family.
547
00:28:20,220 --> 00:28:21,961
Let their grief be short,and just let them know
548
00:28:22,091 --> 00:28:23,658
that he's in a better place.
549
00:28:23,789 --> 00:28:25,442
We come here not only
for the Elkhart four,
550
00:28:25,573 --> 00:28:29,185
but know that there's anotherangel up there in Your heaven.
551
00:28:29,316 --> 00:28:31,840
And just help us push everyday to fight for what we know
552
00:28:31,971 --> 00:28:33,276
is right.
553
00:28:33,407 --> 00:28:34,495
And we thank you.
554
00:28:34,625 --> 00:28:36,149
Son Jesus Christ precious,holy name, we pray.
555
00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:37,019
Amen.
556
00:28:37,150 --> 00:28:37,890
CROWD: Amen.
557
00:28:59,999 --> 00:29:02,653
Danzele's mother
had come to visit me.
558
00:29:02,784 --> 00:29:05,918
I didn't know how the familyfelt about what had happened.
559
00:29:06,048 --> 00:29:07,049
You know, I didn't
know if she was going
560
00:29:07,180 --> 00:29:09,530
to come up here and yell at me.
561
00:29:09,660 --> 00:29:11,750
But she told me, thank youfor staying with Danzele
562
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,101
while everything was happening.
563
00:29:15,231 --> 00:29:16,755
You know, he's 21 years old.
564
00:29:16,885 --> 00:29:18,800
That's-- That's young.
565
00:29:18,931 --> 00:29:20,628
He had so much life.
566
00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:22,238
And now-- you know what I mean?
567
00:29:22,369 --> 00:29:27,809
And I told his mom, when Iget out, I will not mess up.
568
00:29:27,940 --> 00:29:29,158
I will do right.
569
00:29:29,289 --> 00:29:32,466
Because I feel like I'mdoing it not only for myself,
570
00:29:32,596 --> 00:29:34,163
but for Danzele as well.
571
00:29:34,294 --> 00:29:39,429
Because he's not going toget the chance, you know?
572
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:40,953
I mean, I feel bad every day.
573
00:29:41,083 --> 00:29:42,345
I feel bad for the homeowner.
574
00:29:42,476 --> 00:29:45,522
And I feel like a
lot of people don't--
575
00:29:45,653 --> 00:29:46,567
really don't look at him.
576
00:29:49,613 --> 00:29:51,224
He had all the right
to do what he did.
577
00:29:51,354 --> 00:29:53,313
We were in the wrong 100%.
578
00:29:53,443 --> 00:29:56,664
And I don't want him tothink anything different.
579
00:29:56,795 --> 00:29:58,622
He did what he had to do.
580
00:29:58,753 --> 00:30:00,755
That was our mistake.
581
00:30:00,886 --> 00:30:02,452
I'm sorry he has to live withthat for the rest of his life.
582
00:30:05,455 --> 00:30:06,935
[clank]
583
00:30:08,632 --> 00:30:09,459
ANGIE: Destiny!
584
00:30:09,590 --> 00:30:10,504
Destiny [inaudible]!
585
00:30:17,990 --> 00:30:18,817
You excited to see your brother?
586
00:30:18,947 --> 00:30:19,687
Mm-hmm.
587
00:30:19,818 --> 00:30:21,297
ANGIE: Yeah?
588
00:30:21,428 --> 00:30:23,038
- I get really anxious.
- Yeah.
589
00:30:23,169 --> 00:30:24,083
KATHERINE: My stomach
starts to hurt,
590
00:30:24,213 --> 00:30:25,475
like, right before we go in.
591
00:30:25,606 --> 00:30:29,392
If I look good, or
if I look weird, or--
592
00:30:29,523 --> 00:30:30,306
everything's gotta be right.
593
00:30:30,437 --> 00:30:32,482
[phone rings]
594
00:30:32,613 --> 00:30:33,701
Oh, this is one
of the boys now.
595
00:30:33,832 --> 00:30:34,571
It's Anthony.
596
00:30:37,705 --> 00:30:42,188
FEMALE VOICE [ON PHONE]: Yourcurrent balance is $10.17.
597
00:30:42,318 --> 00:30:43,798
Hi, Ant!
598
00:30:43,929 --> 00:30:45,278
Hey, Anthony.
599
00:30:45,408 --> 00:30:46,322
DESTINY: Hi, Ant.
600
00:30:46,453 --> 00:30:47,802
That was Katherine
and Destiny.
601
00:30:47,933 --> 00:30:48,934
You're on speakerphone.
602
00:30:53,503 --> 00:30:54,330
So how's it going?
603
00:30:54,461 --> 00:30:54,896
You OK?
604
00:31:00,597 --> 00:31:02,251
Watch your mouth!
605
00:31:02,382 --> 00:31:08,649
[snickering] All you guys have--your mouth has gotten bad.
606
00:31:08,779 --> 00:31:10,651
Yeah, Katherine's being
a butthole because she
607
00:31:10,781 --> 00:31:11,782
thinks that we're lost.
608
00:31:11,913 --> 00:31:12,871
KATHERINE: What do you
mean, a "butthole"?
609
00:31:13,001 --> 00:31:14,524
She's just driving straight.
610
00:31:14,655 --> 00:31:15,917
We can be in freaking
California by now,
611
00:31:16,048 --> 00:31:18,050
for all she knows, but no.
612
00:31:18,180 --> 00:31:21,096
I'm kind of glad that I hadBlake first because now, having
613
00:31:21,227 --> 00:31:23,925
a girl, because I have Katherinenow instead of Blake right now.
614
00:31:24,056 --> 00:31:24,926
Whew!
615
00:31:25,057 --> 00:31:26,275
So, what is wrong with you?
616
00:31:26,406 --> 00:31:27,233
You're having chest pains?
617
00:31:32,281 --> 00:31:33,761
Well, you need to
worry about it,
618
00:31:33,892 --> 00:31:35,632
because that could be serious.
619
00:31:35,763 --> 00:31:37,678
You probably should tell
the nurse or something.
620
00:31:41,334 --> 00:31:42,422
No, you need to do that.
621
00:31:42,552 --> 00:31:44,206
I'll-- I'll pay for it.
622
00:31:44,337 --> 00:31:45,425
ANTHONY [ON PHONE] Aw, man.
623
00:31:45,555 --> 00:31:46,730
ANGIE: I'm gonna pay for it!
624
00:31:46,861 --> 00:31:47,557
You need to get it checked out.
625
00:31:47,688 --> 00:31:48,428
It could be serious.
626
00:31:52,258 --> 00:31:53,476
Much love, Anthony.
627
00:31:53,607 --> 00:31:56,479
Bye!
628
00:31:56,610 --> 00:31:57,741
You keep your head up you.
629
00:31:57,872 --> 00:31:59,743
And you study for that test.
630
00:31:59,874 --> 00:32:02,094
All right, love you.
631
00:32:02,224 --> 00:32:04,183
Yeah, you too.
632
00:32:04,313 --> 00:32:05,053
[music playing]
633
00:32:05,184 --> 00:32:06,402
This is mine and Blake's song.
634
00:32:06,533 --> 00:32:08,013
Oh, gosh.
635
00:32:08,143 --> 00:32:12,017
[inaudible] on the way?
636
00:32:12,147 --> 00:32:13,975
[chuckle]
637
00:32:15,759 --> 00:32:19,938
[music continues]
638
00:32:57,845 --> 00:32:59,934
KATHERINE: Blake told me thatyou never put me through him
639
00:33:00,065 --> 00:33:03,764
going to jail for 55 years.
640
00:33:03,894 --> 00:33:08,029
But I have never resignedabout breaking up
641
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,510
because you've gotta staystrong for each other.
642
00:33:14,601 --> 00:33:15,341
ANGIE: Destiny.
643
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,259
Destiny, honey!
644
00:33:20,389 --> 00:33:21,521
We're here.We've gotta see your brother.
645
00:33:21,651 --> 00:33:22,391
Come on.
646
00:33:30,791 --> 00:33:31,792
Sweating?
You hot?
647
00:33:31,922 --> 00:33:32,662
You nervous?
648
00:33:32,793 --> 00:33:34,142
[laughs]
649
00:33:35,491 --> 00:33:36,536
You're OK.
650
00:33:36,666 --> 00:33:38,277
[chuckles]
651
00:33:38,407 --> 00:33:41,019
You don't get to see himevery day, so I gotta look good.
652
00:33:41,149 --> 00:33:42,020
It's like a date.
653
00:33:42,150 --> 00:33:42,890
Yeah.
654
00:33:43,021 --> 00:33:44,196
Every 14 days, huh?
655
00:33:44,326 --> 00:33:45,066
With his mom.
656
00:33:48,765 --> 00:33:51,942
[groaning]
657
00:33:54,684 --> 00:33:55,859
Come on!
658
00:33:55,990 --> 00:33:56,860
I can't feel my feet!
659
00:34:08,568 --> 00:34:10,265
MALE REPORTER 3: The ElkhartFour is now obviously
660
00:34:10,396 --> 00:34:11,571
a big story in our area.
661
00:34:11,701 --> 00:34:12,833
Very high profile.
662
00:34:12,963 --> 00:34:14,269
FEMALE REPORTER 6: It'sbeen a controversial case
663
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,097
from the beginning.
664
00:34:16,228 --> 00:34:17,925
ANGIE: I get aggravatedwhen people call them thugs,
665
00:34:18,056 --> 00:34:19,709
because they're not thugs.
666
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,104
They made a bad choice at 16.
667
00:34:23,235 --> 00:34:26,325
MAN: I think they did the
crime, they do the time.
668
00:34:26,455 --> 00:34:28,631
JENNIFER: To be in jail
for that many years--
669
00:34:28,762 --> 00:34:30,329
there was no murder.
670
00:34:30,459 --> 00:34:32,113
People who murder
people get out in less
671
00:34:32,244 --> 00:34:33,636
time than with these boys.
672
00:34:40,165 --> 00:34:43,777
This sounds like thecourts approved some briefs
673
00:34:43,907 --> 00:34:44,952
from the forensic court.
674
00:34:45,083 --> 00:34:45,822
Sounds good.
675
00:34:48,347 --> 00:34:49,087
TAMMY: Change.
676
00:34:49,217 --> 00:34:50,566
You're clicking the wrong one.
677
00:34:50,697 --> 00:34:51,698
The wrong button.
678
00:34:51,828 --> 00:34:52,568
Thank you.
679
00:34:52,699 --> 00:34:54,570
[awkward laugh]
680
00:34:54,701 --> 00:34:57,312
TAMMY: "Appeals courtapproved two supported briefs.
681
00:34:57,443 --> 00:34:59,575
Several groups not
directly associated
682
00:34:59,706 --> 00:35:02,665
with the Elkhart Four have askedto file briefs in the appeals."
683
00:35:02,796 --> 00:35:03,927
ANGIE: So these are
people that just
684
00:35:04,058 --> 00:35:05,929
asked if they could
put their two cents in
685
00:35:06,060 --> 00:35:07,453
and the judge approved it?
686
00:35:07,583 --> 00:35:09,455
TAMMY: "Each of these
amicus are being filed
687
00:35:09,585 --> 00:35:11,239
in support of Blake and Levi.
688
00:35:11,370 --> 00:35:13,850
It is easy to guess that
they will be relying
689
00:35:13,981 --> 00:35:16,766
on recent scientific evidencedifferentiating the adolescent
690
00:35:16,897 --> 00:35:20,118
from the adult brain to supporttheir submission to the court."
691
00:35:20,248 --> 00:35:21,467
Huh.
692
00:35:21,597 --> 00:35:24,861
So I'm assuming the judgecould say, no, they don't
693
00:35:24,992 --> 00:35:26,776
have nothing to do with it?
694
00:35:26,907 --> 00:35:29,649
But they're accepting it.
695
00:35:29,779 --> 00:35:32,347
So I guess that's
really good news, yeah.
696
00:35:32,478 --> 00:35:33,261
And I like this--
697
00:35:33,392 --> 00:35:34,697
KATHERINE: Hold
on, he's calling.
698
00:35:34,828 --> 00:35:36,743
Tell him I said hi.
699
00:35:36,873 --> 00:35:37,787
BLAKE [ON PHONE] Blake.
700
00:35:37,918 --> 00:35:38,788
OPERATOR: To accept
charges, press 4.
701
00:35:38,919 --> 00:35:39,659
[beep]
702
00:35:39,789 --> 00:35:41,574
Hello?
703
00:35:41,704 --> 00:35:42,140
Hi.
704
00:35:45,273 --> 00:35:46,753
Good morning.
705
00:35:46,883 --> 00:35:48,407
ANGIE: Maybe we
should call the lawyer
706
00:35:48,537 --> 00:35:51,497
and ask her these questionsabout these updates.
707
00:35:51,627 --> 00:35:52,672
TAMMY: All right.
708
00:35:52,802 --> 00:35:54,108
She's usually really
good about letting us
709
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:55,153
know everything anyways, but--
710
00:36:01,681 --> 00:36:02,769
We're bothering
her on a Saturday.
711
00:36:02,899 --> 00:36:04,597
I know.
712
00:36:04,727 --> 00:36:07,121
Probably if she doesn't want tobe bothered, she won't answer.
713
00:36:07,252 --> 00:36:07,991
Kind of like [inaudible].
714
00:36:08,122 --> 00:36:09,210
CARA [ON PHONE]: Cara.
- Yeah.
715
00:36:09,341 --> 00:36:10,037
Hi, Cara.
716
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:13,780
All right, fine.
717
00:36:13,910 --> 00:36:16,739
I'll just buy myself a ring.
718
00:36:16,870 --> 00:36:17,610
I'm just kidding.
719
00:36:17,740 --> 00:36:18,959
Calm down.
720
00:36:19,089 --> 00:36:20,090
I wish you were here.
721
00:36:24,486 --> 00:36:27,533
TAMMY: We had somequestions on the appeals.
722
00:36:27,663 --> 00:36:31,406
We've told you about theblog for the Elkhart Four?
723
00:36:31,537 --> 00:36:32,538
Let me just read you
a little bit of it.
724
00:36:32,668 --> 00:36:35,062
"The Indiana Court of Appealsapproved the inclusion
725
00:36:35,193 --> 00:36:38,674
of two amicus briefs submittedby friends of the court,
726
00:36:38,805 --> 00:36:41,155
supporting the appeals
filed by Blake Layman
727
00:36:41,286 --> 00:36:44,593
and Levi Sparks for their 2013felony murder conviction."
728
00:36:44,724 --> 00:36:46,552
So I guess we're askingexactly what does that mean?
729
00:36:46,682 --> 00:36:47,683
That's a good,
good thing, right?
730
00:36:54,908 --> 00:36:55,909
That's good.
731
00:36:56,039 --> 00:36:57,084
CARA [ON PHONE]: Yeah.
732
00:36:57,215 --> 00:36:57,911
Are you hopeful at this point?
733
00:37:03,003 --> 00:37:05,788
Hey, what time are
you gonna call me later?
734
00:37:05,919 --> 00:37:06,659
10:00?
735
00:37:09,401 --> 00:37:10,140
OK.
736
00:37:15,015 --> 00:37:18,627
[ANGRILY] 10:30?
737
00:37:18,758 --> 00:37:19,933
Oh.
738
00:37:20,063 --> 00:37:23,284
Like, 4:00 and then 10:00.
739
00:37:30,073 --> 00:37:34,077
[barking noises] [chuckle]
740
00:37:38,430 --> 00:37:39,692
Oh, because he
wasn't a juvenile.
741
00:37:50,833 --> 00:37:51,573
Right, right.
742
00:37:55,490 --> 00:37:56,491
I'm just worried
about [inaudible]..
743
00:37:59,451 --> 00:38:01,017
I feel like he's
getting left behind.
744
00:38:01,148 --> 00:38:03,498
CARA [ON PHONE]: Yeah.
745
00:38:03,629 --> 00:38:04,456
I miss you, too.
746
00:38:04,586 --> 00:38:06,501
Be good.
747
00:38:06,632 --> 00:38:07,981
And keep your head up.
748
00:38:08,111 --> 00:38:10,375
And call me at 4:00 or I'llpunch you in the nose, and OK.
749
00:38:10,505 --> 00:38:11,289
OPERATOR: You have
one minute left.
750
00:38:11,419 --> 00:38:13,682
I love you.
751
00:38:13,813 --> 00:38:14,857
I miss you, too.
752
00:38:14,988 --> 00:38:17,251
K, bye.
753
00:38:17,382 --> 00:38:18,252
Love you.
754
00:38:18,383 --> 00:38:19,601
I really--
755
00:38:19,732 --> 00:38:20,689
I have a lot of faith in her.
756
00:38:20,820 --> 00:38:21,690
I do too.
757
00:38:21,821 --> 00:38:22,691
And she does sound
pretty confident.
758
00:38:22,822 --> 00:38:23,562
I like that.
759
00:39:04,037 --> 00:39:06,953
This is my first
visit right here.
760
00:39:07,083 --> 00:39:09,738
It was the first time Iactually got to give Katherine
761
00:39:09,869 --> 00:39:11,349
a hug in, like, a year.
762
00:39:11,479 --> 00:39:12,350
Or a little over a year.
763
00:39:16,789 --> 00:39:18,878
She's always been there for me.
764
00:39:19,008 --> 00:39:22,185
And it helps so much to
look forward to that,
765
00:39:22,316 --> 00:39:26,189
to have someone to call,to have someone to talk to.
766
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,236
To even just, you know,
complain about your day,
767
00:39:29,367 --> 00:39:32,544
or hear them complain
about their day.
768
00:39:32,674 --> 00:39:34,546
And I want to show
her that, you know,
769
00:39:34,676 --> 00:39:36,678
I really do mean when
I say, I really do mean
770
00:39:36,809 --> 00:39:37,940
I want to be with you forever.
771
00:39:38,071 --> 00:39:38,898
You know, I'm not--
772
00:39:39,028 --> 00:39:40,029
not leading you on.
773
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,163
I'm not doing anything
like that, you know?
774
00:39:43,293 --> 00:39:44,382
I proposed to her.
775
00:39:44,512 --> 00:39:45,818
You know, I--
776
00:39:45,948 --> 00:39:47,776
I kind of can't do it, youknow, the normal way in here.
777
00:39:47,907 --> 00:39:50,866
But I called my
grandma and told her,
778
00:39:50,997 --> 00:39:53,042
you know, hey, tell her yougot a T-shirt or something,
779
00:39:53,173 --> 00:39:54,435
you know.
780
00:39:54,566 --> 00:39:55,741
Have her come over
to the house, and you
781
00:39:55,871 --> 00:39:57,090
give her this ring for me.
782
00:39:57,220 --> 00:40:00,876
And I called her
later on that night.
783
00:40:01,007 --> 00:40:03,096
Or I called her earlier that dayand told her, you know, like,
784
00:40:03,226 --> 00:40:04,184
will you marry me?
785
00:40:04,314 --> 00:40:05,533
And obviously she said, yeah.
786
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:33,474
Rick moved out.
787
00:40:36,825 --> 00:40:38,610
It's just a lot of stresson the relationship.
788
00:40:41,830 --> 00:40:43,484
It was overwhelming for him.
789
00:40:43,615 --> 00:40:45,138
You're locked up
for this many years,
790
00:40:45,268 --> 00:40:47,749
and you get out to
your child locked up.
791
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,795
And now you're on
the other side, and--
792
00:40:49,925 --> 00:40:51,623
where before, it wasalways Blake visiting him.
793
00:40:55,148 --> 00:40:58,412
We argued sometimes about moneybecause he didn't understand.
794
00:40:58,543 --> 00:41:00,414
He didn't even know how
to control the lights
795
00:41:00,545 --> 00:41:02,024
because he's never had to.
796
00:41:02,155 --> 00:41:03,765
So, like, I would come home,and every light in the house
797
00:41:03,896 --> 00:41:05,027
would be on.
798
00:41:05,158 --> 00:41:06,986
And I wouldn't complainabout it because I knew--
799
00:41:07,116 --> 00:41:08,640
in the back of my head, I'mlike, gosh, that's because he's
800
00:41:08,770 --> 00:41:10,119
been locked up for so long.
801
00:41:10,250 --> 00:41:11,207
He didn't understand finances.
802
00:41:14,123 --> 00:41:16,735
I think it was easier for himto walk away and just leave
803
00:41:16,865 --> 00:41:20,652
the situation and
not focus on what
804
00:41:20,782 --> 00:41:21,696
I have to focus on every day.
805
00:41:34,448 --> 00:41:35,928
How do you feel about your MRI?
806
00:41:36,058 --> 00:41:36,798
Crappy.
807
00:41:36,929 --> 00:41:38,017
Crappy?
808
00:41:38,147 --> 00:41:39,453
Because I don't
want to go in there
809
00:41:39,584 --> 00:41:40,889
and sit there for
an hour, and then
810
00:41:41,020 --> 00:41:42,021
have to go to an
eye appointment.
811
00:41:42,151 --> 00:41:42,978
You just don't wanna do it?
812
00:41:43,109 --> 00:41:44,458
No.
I'm tired.
813
00:41:44,589 --> 00:41:45,328
Me too.
814
00:42:02,694 --> 00:42:04,522
I feel real nauseous.
815
00:42:04,652 --> 00:42:05,479
Do you?
816
00:42:10,179 --> 00:42:12,181
MAN: All right, sweetie.
817
00:42:12,312 --> 00:42:16,577
I want you to just look
at the green line, OK?
818
00:42:16,708 --> 00:42:17,752
Cool.
819
00:42:17,883 --> 00:42:20,059
Now put your arm back
under this blanket here.
820
00:42:20,189 --> 00:42:21,843
[inaudible] or anything, OK?
821
00:42:21,974 --> 00:42:22,975
Thanks for doing
such a good job.
822
00:42:23,105 --> 00:42:36,728
[inaudible] Oh?
823
00:42:36,858 --> 00:42:37,946
Awesome.
824
00:42:38,077 --> 00:42:39,121
Thank you.
825
00:42:39,252 --> 00:42:39,992
WOMAN: You're welcome.
826
00:42:40,122 --> 00:42:41,254
So close.
827
00:42:41,384 --> 00:42:44,039
ANGIE: I wonder if that's Blake.
828
00:42:44,170 --> 00:42:45,432
It is.
829
00:42:45,563 --> 00:42:47,521
Uh.
830
00:42:47,652 --> 00:42:48,783
DESTINY: Did he remember?
831
00:42:48,914 --> 00:42:51,003
I don't know, maybe.
832
00:42:51,133 --> 00:42:52,831
Hi, Son.
833
00:42:52,961 --> 00:42:53,701
What's up?
834
00:42:53,832 --> 00:42:54,920
How are you?
835
00:42:55,050 --> 00:42:55,790
Yeah.
836
00:42:58,097 --> 00:42:59,228
That's awesome.
837
00:42:59,359 --> 00:43:00,360
Right, because Destinywas like, did he remember?
838
00:43:03,363 --> 00:43:04,103
Hello?
839
00:43:08,629 --> 00:43:10,065
WOMAN: Hi, is Destiny in here?
840
00:43:10,196 --> 00:43:11,414
ANGIE: Yeah, she's in here.
841
00:43:11,545 --> 00:43:14,026
All right, I love you too.
842
00:43:14,156 --> 00:43:16,158
All right, bye.
843
00:43:16,289 --> 00:43:17,290
Let's check you out.
844
00:43:17,420 --> 00:43:19,248
[inhales sharply]
845
00:43:21,990 --> 00:43:23,252
Have you been feeling well?- Yeah.
846
00:43:23,383 --> 00:43:24,123
ANGIE: I'm sorry, Son.
847
00:43:24,253 --> 00:43:25,603
I need to talk to the doctor.
848
00:43:25,733 --> 00:43:26,604
I love you too, Son.
849
00:43:26,734 --> 00:43:27,474
I miss you a lot.
850
00:43:39,529 --> 00:43:40,835
MALE REPORTER 4:
Now, There's a battle
851
00:43:40,966 --> 00:43:42,750
in Indiana for the job asthe state's attorney general.
852
00:43:42,881 --> 00:43:44,012
FEMALE REPORTER 7: That's right.
853
00:43:44,143 --> 00:43:46,449
Curtis Hill has prosecutedcases in Elkhart County
854
00:43:46,580 --> 00:43:47,973
since the early 2000s.
855
00:43:48,103 --> 00:43:49,757
But he's looking to
start a new chapter
856
00:43:49,888 --> 00:43:51,846
in his political career.
857
00:43:51,977 --> 00:43:53,935
Hill argues the skills
for an Attorney General
858
00:43:54,066 --> 00:43:56,155
are very similar to
that of a prosecutor.
859
00:43:56,285 --> 00:43:57,678
There's fact finding in that.
860
00:43:57,809 --> 00:43:59,158
There's investigation review.
861
00:43:59,288 --> 00:44:02,814
There's a determination ofwrong conduct and right conduct.
862
00:44:02,944 --> 00:44:05,860
And then you expand
that to an entire state.
863
00:44:05,991 --> 00:44:10,169
And the idea is to
create a tenor of safety
864
00:44:10,299 --> 00:44:14,173
for as many people as possible.
865
00:44:14,303 --> 00:44:17,480
[gentle music]
866
00:44:57,695 --> 00:44:59,261
WOMAN: Welcome, everybody.
867
00:44:59,392 --> 00:45:03,004
This morning, normalvisitation rules don't apply.
868
00:45:03,135 --> 00:45:06,965
So you can give your
welcoming hug and kiss,
869
00:45:07,095 --> 00:45:08,314
and we'll get started.
870
00:45:08,444 --> 00:45:09,184
I love you.
871
00:45:09,315 --> 00:45:11,099
I love you.
872
00:45:11,230 --> 00:45:14,015
All right, I want you
to look at your partner.
873
00:45:14,146 --> 00:45:16,235
Look them square in theeye, and just say, honey.
874
00:45:16,365 --> 00:45:17,236
Honey.
875
00:45:17,366 --> 00:45:18,759
MAN: Let's talk.
876
00:45:18,890 --> 00:45:20,761
Honey, let's talk.
877
00:45:20,892 --> 00:45:22,632
What does goodcommunication look, like?
878
00:45:22,763 --> 00:45:24,678
Just brainstorm
that for a minute.
879
00:45:24,809 --> 00:45:26,375
What's that say?
880
00:45:26,506 --> 00:45:27,376
Listening and understanding.
881
00:45:27,507 --> 00:45:28,638
WOMAN: How much do you care--
882
00:45:28,769 --> 00:45:30,902
truly care-- about
that individual
883
00:45:31,032 --> 00:45:35,863
that you have to put
somebody down like that.
884
00:45:35,994 --> 00:45:37,386
When we talk about puttingdown, how do you think
885
00:45:37,517 --> 00:45:41,042
it affects your physical state?
886
00:45:41,173 --> 00:45:45,351
[mellow music]
887
00:46:24,999 --> 00:46:27,959
It's hard not to
get discouraged.
888
00:46:28,089 --> 00:46:31,963
I don't want to forever belabeled a murderer because when
889
00:46:32,093 --> 00:46:34,226
I got out to get a job,they look up my background,
890
00:46:34,356 --> 00:46:35,314
and it's going to say murder.
891
00:46:35,444 --> 00:46:36,619
It's not going to
say felony murder
892
00:46:36,750 --> 00:46:38,491
and tell them all about my case.
893
00:46:38,621 --> 00:46:41,059
It's going to say murder.
894
00:46:41,189 --> 00:46:42,321
Not a lot of people
will look over that.
895
00:46:50,590 --> 00:46:55,987
My earliest possible releasedate is April 3, 2040.
896
00:46:56,117 --> 00:46:57,075
That's my earliest
possible release date.
897
00:47:01,644 --> 00:47:03,081
I don't think it takes 27 year--
898
00:47:03,211 --> 00:47:06,867
27 and 1/2 years to figureout, OK, I fucked up.
899
00:47:06,998 --> 00:47:10,479
OK, I need to change mymindset to be better to change
900
00:47:10,610 --> 00:47:12,525
and succeed in society.
901
00:47:12,655 --> 00:47:15,658
Become something.
902
00:47:15,789 --> 00:47:18,618
For me, I know it
didn't take that long.
903
00:47:18,748 --> 00:47:20,011
Hell, I feel like I'm ready now.
904
00:47:23,928 --> 00:47:26,365
I've been down here two years.
905
00:47:26,495 --> 00:47:29,107
I'll do some more time
on top of it, though.
906
00:47:29,237 --> 00:47:30,021
I committed a crime.
907
00:47:30,151 --> 00:47:30,891
I'll sit here, you know?
908
00:47:31,022 --> 00:47:32,545
That's part of the consequences.
909
00:47:32,675 --> 00:47:35,678
But 20-something years?
910
00:47:35,809 --> 00:47:39,117
You know, I feel like thattakes away from the things
911
00:47:39,247 --> 00:47:41,684
that you decided you
were going to change.
912
00:47:41,815 --> 00:47:43,208
And you're surrounded
by negative.
913
00:47:43,338 --> 00:47:45,471
You're surrounded by fighting.
914
00:47:45,601 --> 00:47:48,561
But you have to continueto keep a good mentality,
915
00:47:48,691 --> 00:47:49,997
like, OK, I can do better.
916
00:47:50,128 --> 00:47:53,305
I can still become
something in life.
917
00:47:53,435 --> 00:47:56,177
I imagine myself in an
apartment, you know?
918
00:47:56,308 --> 00:47:57,613
Hell, probably with
a kid, you know?
919
00:48:01,748 --> 00:48:02,575
This is where I am.
920
00:48:05,665 --> 00:48:07,145
It's sad and it sucks.
921
00:48:19,374 --> 00:48:20,985
Over time, they just
kind of wear you down
922
00:48:21,115 --> 00:48:22,551
and wear you down.
923
00:48:22,682 --> 00:48:23,639
Your visit's here.
924
00:48:23,770 --> 00:48:24,640
OK.
925
00:48:24,771 --> 00:48:25,511
Thank you.
926
00:48:37,610 --> 00:48:39,655
That's one of my biggestfears, is it's going to like--
927
00:48:39,786 --> 00:48:43,746
it messing up my mindset, andI have less regard for getting
928
00:48:43,877 --> 00:48:45,270
in trouble from now on.
929
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,576
And then letting my family down.
930
00:48:47,707 --> 00:48:51,189
And that's not
what I want to do.
931
00:48:51,319 --> 00:48:52,059
We're good?
932
00:48:52,190 --> 00:48:54,192
Yep, you're good.
933
00:48:54,322 --> 00:48:56,368
They're there for
me, and I need to--
934
00:48:56,498 --> 00:49:01,590
I need to continue to proveto them that I'm doing right.
935
00:49:01,721 --> 00:49:02,461
Baby bird.
936
00:49:02,591 --> 00:49:03,636
Baby bird!
937
00:49:03,766 --> 00:49:04,506
Aww.
938
00:49:04,637 --> 00:49:05,333
Yup.
939
00:49:19,521 --> 00:49:22,176
You know, you had manya boyfriends before Blake
940
00:49:22,307 --> 00:49:24,918
that I did not like,
did not care for.
941
00:49:25,049 --> 00:49:29,227
They were completely
unrespectful.
942
00:49:29,357 --> 00:49:31,969
And Blake came in here
day one, and I told you
943
00:49:32,099 --> 00:49:33,796
the first day that I liked him.
944
00:49:33,927 --> 00:49:35,363
And he's got a
really good heart,
945
00:49:35,494 --> 00:49:38,279
and he made a bad mistake.
946
00:49:38,410 --> 00:49:39,889
And the last thing he
needed was for people
947
00:49:40,020 --> 00:49:42,153
to walk away from him.
948
00:49:42,283 --> 00:49:44,807
He deserves a secondchance, just like everybody
949
00:49:44,938 --> 00:49:46,592
deserves a second chance.
950
00:49:46,722 --> 00:49:49,682
And we're very proud
for sticking with Blake,
951
00:49:49,812 --> 00:49:53,207
because, you know, he's a goodkid that does not deserve this.
952
00:49:53,338 --> 00:49:54,861
JENNIFER: Yes, he
was a good kid.
953
00:49:54,992 --> 00:49:56,254
And we are going to fight.
954
00:49:56,384 --> 00:49:57,516
We are going national.
955
00:49:57,646 --> 00:50:00,606
We are going to get all
the research that we
956
00:50:00,736 --> 00:50:02,912
can on all the other cases.
957
00:50:03,043 --> 00:50:04,740
And I'll always
be Blake's friend.
958
00:50:04,871 --> 00:50:08,570
And I'll always have aplace in my heart for Blake.
959
00:50:08,701 --> 00:50:15,142
But do I think that Iwant you to spend 45 years
960
00:50:15,273 --> 00:50:16,883
holding your life for Blake?
961
00:50:17,014 --> 00:50:17,753
RICK: No.
962
00:50:17,884 --> 00:50:18,972
No.
963
00:50:19,103 --> 00:50:19,929
That's not what I want.
964
00:50:22,845 --> 00:50:23,629
Take his phone calls.
965
00:50:23,759 --> 00:50:24,499
Be his friend.
966
00:50:24,630 --> 00:50:26,240
Hold his hand.
967
00:50:26,371 --> 00:50:30,331
Never stop being
that boy's friend.
968
00:50:30,462 --> 00:50:32,029
But you're going to haveto move on with your life.
969
00:50:35,858 --> 00:50:38,426
You can't wait 40 years.
970
00:50:38,557 --> 00:50:39,297
You know that.
971
00:50:55,791 --> 00:50:58,751
Obviously, Katherine isvery passionate about Blake
972
00:50:58,881 --> 00:51:02,102
and loves Blake with
her entire heart.
973
00:51:02,233 --> 00:51:06,367
So it was an extremely
difficult conversation.
974
00:51:06,498 --> 00:51:08,369
But I felt that,
as a mother, I need
975
00:51:08,500 --> 00:51:11,894
to make sure that
she's OK, because she's
976
00:51:12,025 --> 00:51:14,767
obviously my number one.
977
00:51:14,897 --> 00:51:18,162
Also, I wrote a letter
to Blake and asked
978
00:51:18,292 --> 00:51:22,601
him to let her go becauseit's not fair to her
979
00:51:22,731 --> 00:51:26,083
for him to expect
her to stay with him.
980
00:51:26,213 --> 00:51:32,132
But he had no intentionsof letting her go either.
981
00:51:32,263 --> 00:51:33,351
MALE REPORTER 5: The
Indiana Supreme Court
982
00:51:33,481 --> 00:51:35,353
is pushing back anappeals hearing for three
983
00:51:35,483 --> 00:51:37,746
of the so-called Elkhart Four.
984
00:51:37,877 --> 00:51:40,009
The court was scheduled tohear arguments this Wednesday
985
00:51:40,140 --> 00:51:43,622
in the appeal of Blake Layman,Levi Sparks, and Anthony Sharp.
986
00:51:43,752 --> 00:51:46,146
It will now take place
in late February.
987
00:51:46,277 --> 00:51:47,930
Defense attorneys
will have 20 minutes
988
00:51:48,061 --> 00:51:50,281
to explain why the
court should toss out
989
00:51:50,411 --> 00:51:51,891
their felony murder
convictions, or at least
990
00:51:52,021 --> 00:51:53,110
lessen their sentences.
991
00:52:11,911 --> 00:52:14,043
Hearing that appeal didn'tgo through was extremely hard.
992
00:52:16,916 --> 00:52:17,917
Times are hard right now.
993
00:52:18,047 --> 00:52:21,181
There's a lot of
money going out.
994
00:52:21,312 --> 00:52:22,965
We actually had to get a loan.
995
00:52:23,096 --> 00:52:25,490
It's been a long process.
996
00:52:25,620 --> 00:52:28,057
And Blake still doesneed to be taken care of.
997
00:52:28,188 --> 00:52:29,276
I know some people
say, well, he's fine.
998
00:52:29,407 --> 00:52:30,756
They don't need money.
999
00:52:30,886 --> 00:52:33,759
Well, they don't-- yeah, theyget their three meals a day.
1000
00:52:33,889 --> 00:52:35,195
Do they have enough
hygiene to last?
1001
00:52:35,326 --> 00:52:36,065
No.
1002
00:52:36,196 --> 00:52:37,197
Do they get paper for free?
1003
00:52:37,328 --> 00:52:38,111
No.
1004
00:52:38,242 --> 00:52:41,114
You know, they
need all that too.
1005
00:52:41,245 --> 00:52:43,421
So I still have to take
care of Blake also.
1006
00:52:48,295 --> 00:52:50,341
Unfortunately, we can
see him every two weeks,
1007
00:52:50,471 --> 00:52:53,605
but I've had to postpone
every two weeks.
1008
00:52:53,735 --> 00:52:58,044
I can't afford to do everytwo weeks, unfortunately.
1009
00:52:58,175 --> 00:53:00,699
I have a used
vehicle that's older.
1010
00:53:00,829 --> 00:53:04,398
And we did have the incidentof going to see Blake,
1011
00:53:04,529 --> 00:53:06,095
and the vehicle breaking down.
1012
00:53:06,226 --> 00:53:07,401
And we're, you know--
1013
00:53:07,532 --> 00:53:08,837
I mean, to get stranded
in Indianapolis.
1014
00:53:08,968 --> 00:53:13,494
There's a lot of risk, too,of driving 4 and 1/2 hours.
1015
00:53:13,625 --> 00:53:15,279
It's really hard, becauseI'd be there every two weeks.
1016
00:53:15,409 --> 00:53:19,761
And if we lived close, we'dbe there every two weeks.
1017
00:53:19,892 --> 00:53:22,416
And so that's kind ofupsetting sometimes, to know--
1018
00:53:22,547 --> 00:53:23,548
I mean, there's been
times where I didn't
1019
00:53:23,678 --> 00:53:24,636
even have money on my phone.
1020
00:53:24,766 --> 00:53:26,464
And when he calls,
that's heartbreaking,
1021
00:53:26,594 --> 00:53:28,117
knowing I can't answer
the phone because I
1022
00:53:28,248 --> 00:53:29,728
don't have money on the phone.
1023
00:53:29,858 --> 00:53:31,773
It's very heartbreaking.
1024
00:53:31,904 --> 00:53:33,427
And same with other boys.
1025
00:53:33,558 --> 00:53:35,951
It's like, you know,
Anthony calls a lot.
1026
00:53:36,082 --> 00:53:38,780
And it's hard for me all thetime to answer his phone call.
1027
00:53:38,911 --> 00:53:40,695
Sometimes I just don't have themoney to answer it, you know?
1028
00:53:46,658 --> 00:53:47,963
How much was that bag of candy?
1029
00:53:48,094 --> 00:53:51,140
Um, $3, because it was--
1030
00:53:51,271 --> 00:53:54,318
So doing this for anotheryear or so to see if we can
1031
00:53:54,448 --> 00:53:56,102
get in front of the
Indiana Supreme Court
1032
00:53:56,233 --> 00:53:57,451
is not going to be easy.
1033
00:53:57,582 --> 00:53:58,322
Take care.
1034
00:53:58,452 --> 00:53:59,192
CLERK: You too.
1035
00:54:02,456 --> 00:54:06,286
[slow guitar music]
1036
00:55:18,010 --> 00:55:21,883
[cheering]
1037
00:55:40,554 --> 00:55:43,557
My parents struggle
a lot with the fact
1038
00:55:43,688 --> 00:55:47,779
that I was going to stickwith Blake no matter what.
1039
00:55:47,909 --> 00:55:49,128
I mean, they want me happy.
1040
00:55:58,529 --> 00:56:00,879
But Blake's not my friend.
1041
00:56:01,009 --> 00:56:01,706
I want him to be my husband.
1042
00:56:05,318 --> 00:56:07,886
And I would never give that up.
1043
00:56:11,585 --> 00:56:15,807
JENNIFER: Letting her stickby him was really hard.
1044
00:56:15,937 --> 00:56:18,984
But the two of them are going toget married, whether we want it
1045
00:56:19,114 --> 00:56:20,899
or not.
1046
00:56:21,029 --> 00:56:25,599
So you just decide that you'regoing to do what you want,
1047
00:56:25,730 --> 00:56:28,167
and we're going to be righthere beside you, whether we
1048
00:56:28,297 --> 00:56:30,865
agree with it or not.
1049
00:56:30,996 --> 00:56:36,001
And I do feel, someday,
he'll be my son-in-law.
1050
00:56:36,131 --> 00:56:36,523
And I'm OK with that.
1051
00:56:50,407 --> 00:56:52,060
Blake won me this
at the Indiana Beach.
1052
00:56:55,803 --> 00:56:59,546
JENNIFER: This found
some stuff up there.
1053
00:56:59,677 --> 00:57:01,156
Alcohol stashed up there.
1054
00:57:01,287 --> 00:57:02,680
Busted!
1055
00:57:02,810 --> 00:57:04,333
I guess that's what
happens when you move.
1056
00:57:04,464 --> 00:57:05,857
You find things that
you forgot where there.
1057
00:57:23,048 --> 00:57:26,312
Moving out of my parents'house is a big step.
1058
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:29,837
Blake, I suppose, would
be doing this too.
1059
00:57:29,968 --> 00:57:31,709
A step I wish I didn't
have to be taking alone.
1060
00:57:31,839 --> 00:57:35,103
But maybe he'll be there whenI graduate college, and--
1061
00:57:35,234 --> 00:57:36,670
you know.
1062
00:57:36,801 --> 00:57:37,758
So there's always somethingelse to look forward
1063
00:57:37,889 --> 00:57:40,282
to that he can be there for.
1064
00:57:40,413 --> 00:57:43,024
That's my motivation, basically.
1065
00:57:43,155 --> 00:57:45,766
Get through this just to gethim home and start my life.
1066
00:58:04,350 --> 00:58:05,786
The greatest equation.
1067
00:58:05,917 --> 00:58:09,268
All of love in the worldplus compassion and trust
1068
00:58:09,398 --> 00:58:14,926
times infinity divided by youand me minus where I'm at now
1069
00:58:15,056 --> 00:58:18,756
equals Blake and KatherineLayman forever and always.
1070
00:58:18,886 --> 00:58:20,322
That's cute.
1071
00:58:20,453 --> 00:58:22,586
I got that back when
he was in County.
1072
00:58:22,716 --> 00:58:23,587
Got a lot of stuff.
1073
00:58:29,854 --> 00:58:31,333
MALE REPORTER 6: Tonight,major new developments.
1074
00:58:31,464 --> 00:58:32,987
MALE REPORTER 7: The IndianaSupreme Court will hear
1075
00:58:33,118 --> 00:58:34,859
arguments this Wednesday
in the appeal of three
1076
00:58:34,989 --> 00:58:37,035
of the so-called Elkhart Four--
1077
00:58:37,165 --> 00:58:39,341
Blake Layman, LeviSparks, and Anthony Sharp.
1078
00:58:47,175 --> 00:58:49,134
JENNIFER: Hi.
1079
00:58:49,264 --> 00:58:50,570
Scared?
Nervous?
1080
00:58:50,701 --> 00:58:51,440
KATHERINE: Yeah.
1081
00:58:51,571 --> 00:58:53,312
See what happens.
1082
00:58:53,442 --> 00:58:55,183
So, in the morning--
1083
00:58:55,314 --> 00:58:58,012
I mean, I figure we shouldbe up by at least 5:00
1084
00:58:58,143 --> 00:59:01,233
and on the road no
later than 6:30.
1085
00:59:01,363 --> 00:59:03,801
KATHERINE: Tomorrow, I'mgoing into the Supreme Court.
1086
00:59:03,931 --> 00:59:05,716
Not really sure what to feel.
1087
00:59:05,846 --> 00:59:09,720
I mean, the worst
scenario could be
1088
00:59:09,850 --> 00:59:11,896
them sticking with
a felony murder law
1089
00:59:12,026 --> 00:59:14,289
and him doing 45 years.
1090
00:59:14,420 --> 00:59:16,901
Or he could be coming home.
1091
00:59:17,031 --> 00:59:19,425
They could just
dismiss the case, and--
1092
00:59:19,556 --> 00:59:22,471
so I don't know what to feel.
1093
00:59:22,602 --> 00:59:24,082
I'm trying not to
get too excited.
1094
00:59:24,212 --> 00:59:27,651
[guitar music]
1095
00:59:43,275 --> 00:59:44,929
ANGIE: We are going
in front of the judge.
1096
00:59:45,059 --> 00:59:47,584
And our lawyers are goingto argue our point of why
1097
00:59:47,714 --> 00:59:49,281
felony murder
should not have been
1098
00:59:49,411 --> 00:59:50,064
applied to the Elkhart Four.
1099
00:59:53,111 --> 00:59:56,897
The felony murder rule
is very controversial.
1100
00:59:57,028 --> 00:59:59,030
From state to state,
it changes the wording.
1101
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,815
It's not very clear on
who should be charged,
1102
01:00:01,946 --> 01:00:02,903
who shouldn't be.
1103
01:00:03,034 --> 01:00:04,818
Should we chargejuveniles, should we not.
1104
01:00:04,949 --> 01:00:07,647
And in the Elkhart case, Ithink a big part would be
1105
01:00:07,778 --> 01:00:09,388
there was no intent for harm.
1106
01:00:09,518 --> 01:00:10,519
There was no weapons involved.
1107
01:00:16,134 --> 01:00:17,309
KATHERINE: I don't
know whether to be
1108
01:00:17,439 --> 01:00:23,750
excited or scared or
nervous or throw up.
1109
01:00:23,881 --> 01:00:24,969
It can go anywhere.
1110
01:00:30,670 --> 01:00:34,195
They might not drop everythingand be like, OK, you can go.
1111
01:00:34,326 --> 01:00:37,285
But I have faith that my
years will get dropped
1112
01:00:37,416 --> 01:00:38,635
to something a lot less.
1113
01:00:43,161 --> 01:00:45,729
Can you explain to me, like,exactly what this court can do?
1114
01:00:45,859 --> 01:00:47,774
They're going to
grant or deny transfer.
1115
01:00:47,905 --> 01:00:52,213
And then if they take it andsay, this is not felony murder,
1116
01:00:52,344 --> 01:00:55,303
then it goes back to juvenilecourt, in Blake's case.
1117
01:00:55,434 --> 01:00:57,958
We're hoping that
the Supreme Court will
1118
01:00:58,089 --> 01:00:59,656
drop to felony murder
ruling against them
1119
01:00:59,786 --> 01:01:02,615
and charge them with the crimethat they actually did commit.
1120
01:01:15,759 --> 01:01:16,760
LORETTA RUSH: I'm
looking forward
1121
01:01:16,890 --> 01:01:18,805
to hearing the argument.
1122
01:01:18,936 --> 01:01:21,547
The appellants are
Blake Layman, Levi
1123
01:01:21,678 --> 01:01:23,984
Sparks, and Anthony Sharp Jr.
1124
01:01:24,115 --> 01:01:25,682
Indiana's felony
murder statute
1125
01:01:25,812 --> 01:01:28,032
uses the action
verb "kills," and it
1126
01:01:28,162 --> 01:01:30,077
refers back to the felon.
1127
01:01:30,208 --> 01:01:32,863
So it's the felon who
must do the killing.
1128
01:01:32,993 --> 01:01:34,778
Not the victim of
the original crime.
1129
01:01:34,908 --> 01:01:36,214
Not the victim,
Your Honor, yes.
1130
01:01:36,344 --> 01:01:38,433
And then we have the questionof whether this is even felony
1131
01:01:38,564 --> 01:01:41,262
murder as a matter of law.
1132
01:01:41,393 --> 01:01:44,701
You can kill by causing death.
1133
01:01:44,831 --> 01:01:46,267
You don't have to
pull the trigger.
1134
01:01:46,398 --> 01:01:47,921
You have to cause death.
1135
01:01:48,052 --> 01:01:50,054
And if you cause death byplunging a knife in someone's
1136
01:01:50,184 --> 01:01:51,751
breast, yes, you've murdered.
1137
01:01:51,882 --> 01:01:54,536
If you cause death by notwarning someone the bridge is
1138
01:01:54,667 --> 01:01:56,756
out, you've killed.
1139
01:01:56,887 --> 01:01:59,498
They did try to target a housethat they thought was empty.
1140
01:01:59,628 --> 01:02:01,369
They went in unarmed.
1141
01:02:01,500 --> 01:02:03,720
They were trying
to limit the harm.
1142
01:02:03,850 --> 01:02:05,330
PROSECUTOR: They weren't
trying to avoid it.
1143
01:02:05,460 --> 01:02:08,202
If they were trying to avoidit, they would've stayed home.
1144
01:02:08,333 --> 01:02:11,597
16-year-olds are old enough,at least, to know this much--
1145
01:02:11,728 --> 01:02:14,382
that if you burglarize someone'shome in a way that makes
1146
01:02:14,513 --> 01:02:17,472
them fear for their life, thenyou are guilty of felony murder
1147
01:02:17,603 --> 01:02:18,038
if a death results.
1148
01:02:23,478 --> 01:02:24,784
FEMALE REPORTER 8:
The Indiana Supreme
1149
01:02:24,915 --> 01:02:28,832
Court did not decide if itwill hear Blake Layman's case.
1150
01:02:28,962 --> 01:02:30,398
Just simply heard arguments.
1151
01:02:30,529 --> 01:02:32,923
No timetable for adecision has been released.
1152
01:02:33,053 --> 01:02:34,707
We'll continue to
watch for developments.
1153
01:02:55,728 --> 01:02:58,165
[television chatter]
1154
01:03:00,646 --> 01:03:02,604
I don't like being alone.
1155
01:03:02,735 --> 01:03:04,084
It's boring.
1156
01:03:04,215 --> 01:03:04,955
Sad.
1157
01:03:10,264 --> 01:03:13,050
I work a full-time
job, [inaudible] doors.
1158
01:03:13,180 --> 01:03:14,486
And they'll come
off the machine,
1159
01:03:14,616 --> 01:03:17,010
and I catch them and
place them on the skid,
1160
01:03:17,141 --> 01:03:17,968
and take the skids
over to shipping.
1161
01:03:21,754 --> 01:03:25,410
But even though I'm
working a full-time job,
1162
01:03:25,540 --> 01:03:27,064
I can't really go
out and do things
1163
01:03:27,194 --> 01:03:31,285
like I used to be able tobecause I don't have the money.
1164
01:03:31,416 --> 01:03:33,418
I pay rent.
1165
01:03:33,548 --> 01:03:35,028
Truck payment.
1166
01:03:35,159 --> 01:03:39,163
And then, on top of that, Ihave Blake, which is about $500
1167
01:03:39,293 --> 01:03:40,599
a month.
1168
01:03:40,729 --> 01:03:47,171
I mean I spend commissary,gas to get there, phone calls.
1169
01:03:47,301 --> 01:03:50,957
It costs $3 a phone call, andhe calls me three times a day.
1170
01:03:51,088 --> 01:03:52,959
So it's a lot of money.
1171
01:03:53,090 --> 01:03:54,613
And then I get on
Facebook and I'll
1172
01:03:54,743 --> 01:03:58,443
see my friends start familiesand go off to college,
1173
01:03:58,573 --> 01:04:03,709
move to California, and
me being kind of stuck.
1174
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:05,624
This is definitely notthe life that I expected I
1175
01:04:05,754 --> 01:04:07,887
would have when I was littler.
1176
01:04:08,018 --> 01:04:11,848
[slow guitar music]
1177
01:04:57,589 --> 01:05:00,418

Thank you.

Thank you.
1180
01:05:03,725 --> 01:05:06,728
[sigh] Go ahead.
1181
01:05:06,859 --> 01:05:07,686
Oh my god.
1182
01:05:11,951 --> 01:05:14,519
Oh my goodness.
1183
01:05:14,649 --> 01:05:16,042
They're going to be so happy.
1184
01:05:16,173 --> 01:05:21,352

to be so hysterical.

graduation day, though.
1186
01:05:22,875 --> 01:05:23,615
Right?
1187
01:05:23,745 --> 01:05:24,485
I know.
1188
01:05:24,616 --> 01:05:26,270
The same day.
1189
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:27,445
Same day.
1190
01:05:27,575 --> 01:05:29,229
How-- yeah.
1191
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:30,056
So exciting.
1192
01:05:33,233 --> 01:05:34,539
Don't think he's here yet.
1193
01:05:34,669 --> 01:05:35,888
I don't see Levi or him.
1194
01:05:38,847 --> 01:05:40,110
The Supreme Court overruled.
1195
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:41,285
The Supreme Court
has overruled our case.
1196
01:05:41,415 --> 01:05:42,590
And he doesn't know
he doesn't know yet.
1197
01:05:42,721 --> 01:05:43,156
ANGIE: He doesn't know.
1198
01:05:43,287 --> 01:05:45,245
Shh.
1199
01:05:45,376 --> 01:05:49,380
Oh my god, I'm gonna pass out.
1200
01:05:49,510 --> 01:05:50,424
So excited.
1201
01:05:50,555 --> 01:05:50,990
So excited.
1202
01:05:54,341 --> 01:05:58,302
I almost feel sick
to my stomach, even.
1203
01:05:58,432 --> 01:05:59,651
This is not real.
1204
01:06:02,871 --> 01:06:03,872
Do you know what this means?
1205
01:06:04,003 --> 01:06:05,352
Oh my gosh.

So we gotta talk to you guys.

1248

[SINGING] My
mother always said,
1249
01:08:06,212 --> 01:08:09,433

through the rain.

Even though we don't ever show--

01:08:14,264 --> 01:08:15,743
FEMALE REPORTER 9: The
Indiana Supreme Court
1252
01:08:15,874 --> 01:08:18,659
says Blake Layman, Levi Sparks,and Anthony Sharp did not
1253
01:08:18,790 --> 01:08:22,141
engage in any dangerous,violent, threatening behavior,
1254
01:08:22,272 --> 01:08:23,925
and nothing about their
behavior was the cause
1255
01:08:24,056 --> 01:08:26,102
of their friend's death.
1256
01:08:26,232 --> 01:08:27,712
FEMALE REPORTER 10: A
judge will resentence,
1257
01:08:27,842 --> 01:08:31,107
Layman, Sharp, and Sparksfor the burglary conviction.
1258
01:08:31,237 --> 01:08:33,239
The maximum for
that is 20 years.
1259
01:08:33,370 --> 01:08:34,936
But with day-for-day
credit and time
1260
01:08:35,067 --> 01:08:36,938
they've already served
in the last three years,
1261
01:08:37,069 --> 01:08:39,115
they might only have to
do another six years.
1262
01:08:39,245 --> 01:08:41,769
The one name left out ofthe Supreme Court opinion
1263
01:08:41,900 --> 01:08:43,510
is Jose Quiroz.
1264
01:08:43,641 --> 01:08:45,860
He pleaded guilty before thetrial and, because of that,
1265
01:08:45,991 --> 01:08:47,601
was not able to appeal.
1266
01:08:47,732 --> 01:08:50,604
He's currently serving
a 45-year sentence.
1267
01:08:50,735 --> 01:08:53,477
But I am told a public defenderis trying to get him less
1268

16 when it happened.
1269
01:09:01,137 --> 01:09:02,790
KATHERINE: I'm so
scared, I ain't playing.
1270
01:09:02,921 --> 01:09:04,618
You're scared, or
just anxious and--
1271
01:09:04,749 --> 01:09:05,619
I'm scared.
1272

--nervous about
what's going to happen?
1273
01:09:06,881 --> 01:09:07,317
Yeah, I'm scared.
1274
01:09:10,711 --> 01:09:11,234
Like, really bad.
1275
01:09:15,194 --> 01:09:16,326
Just don't go and ask
him stupid questions.
1276
01:09:16,456 --> 01:09:18,066
Do you imagine how he's
feeling and how we feel?
1277
01:09:18,197 --> 01:09:22,158
I bet he is, like, a mess.
1278
01:09:22,288 --> 01:09:23,724
At least he got himself
in that situation.
1279
01:09:23,855 --> 01:09:25,117
That's true.
1280
01:09:25,248 --> 01:09:27,032
I gotta go up there,
and I'm like, aah!
1281
01:09:27,163 --> 01:09:28,033
Please don't kill me.
1282
01:09:28,164 --> 01:09:29,165
Oh, you're more
scared about all that.
1283
01:09:29,295 --> 01:09:30,296
The whole court--
1284
01:09:30,427 --> 01:09:32,298
Yeah, like, what if
I-- what if I'm the one
1285
01:09:32,429 --> 01:09:33,778
that gives him 20
years in prison
1286
01:09:33,908 --> 01:09:35,519
because of something I say?
1287
01:09:35,649 --> 01:09:37,042
There's not much you cansay that's going to influence
1288
01:09:37,173 --> 01:09:37,912
the judge's decision.
1289
01:09:38,043 --> 01:09:40,176
You know that.
1290
01:09:40,306 --> 01:09:42,569
Yeah?
1291
01:09:42,700 --> 01:09:45,137
While I'm up there as
a character witness,
1292
01:09:45,268 --> 01:09:49,533
the prosecutor's job is
to lower my character.
1293
01:09:49,663 --> 01:09:51,839
Make it look like
I am a bad person.
1294
01:09:51,970 --> 01:09:53,014
But how can they?
1295
01:09:53,145 --> 01:09:55,103
You work every day.
1296
01:09:55,234 --> 01:09:58,890
I mean, you have been therefor Blake for three years.

ate, slept, nothing.

We're about to pray.
1307
01:10:39,104 --> 01:10:40,758
So everybody gather.
1308
01:10:40,888 --> 01:10:43,674
Father God, we come hereagain today for one purpose,
1309
01:10:43,804 --> 01:10:45,980
and that's for justice
for these boys.
1310
01:10:46,111 --> 01:10:48,069
Let them be charged
for what they did.
1311
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:49,157
Lord, be with us all today.
1312
01:10:49,288 --> 01:10:50,463
Give us strength.
1313
01:10:50,594 --> 01:10:52,683
Give these boys guidance
when they come home.
1314
01:10:52,813 --> 01:10:53,553
Amen.

01:10:57,253 --> 01:10:58,776
I hope he comes home.
1317

Time served.

But even if he has to do acouple more years, we've won.
1319

This is what we needed.

We've got him to the burglarycharge that he deserves.
1321
01:11:08,307 --> 01:11:09,961
So even if the worse
comes to worse,
1322

it's just a couple more years.

what to expect.

I was hoping there was no waythe judge would max him out.

Is to get out and do the rightthing and not disappoint.

louder than words.
