1
00:00:01,710 --> 00:00:04,421
This program contains
material of a disturbing nature.

2
00:00:04,505 --> 00:00:05,881
Discretion is recommended.

3
00:00:12,763 --> 00:00:14,473
<i>{\an8}I have something to ask you.</i>

4
00:00:14,806 --> 00:00:19,978
<i>Almost twenty years have passed since the crime
and you've never officially talked about this,</i>

5
00:00:20,979 --> 00:00:23,148
<i>�why do you want to do it now?</i>

6
00:00:26,443 --> 00:00:32,157
<i>I kept it for a long time
because I didn't want to lose my life.</i>

7
00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:35,410
<i>Although Cassie had lost hers.</i>

8
00:00:36,161 --> 00:00:39,414
<i>So I want the audience to understand</i>

9
00:00:40,290 --> 00:00:43,794
<i>what I should do
because it is the truth.</i>

10
00:00:45,254 --> 00:00:47,881
<i>Is there a topic that you consider prohibited?</i>

11
00:00:49,758 --> 00:00:51,385
<i>No.</i>

12
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:58,558
<i>{\an8}SHOUT:
MURDER IN REAL LIFE</i>

13
00:01:00,894 --> 00:01:04,815
<i>The jury received the instructions
and the final arguments began.</i>

14
00:01:04,898 --> 00:01:06,233
{\an8}CLOSING ARGUMENTS

15
00:01:06,316 --> 00:01:09,444
<i>{\an8}Prosecutor Mark Heideman
He says the state has presented its case</i>

16
00:01:09,528 --> 00:01:12,030
<i>The lawyers
They told the jury what to do</i>

17
00:01:12,781 --> 00:01:15,659
{\an8}In general,
The victims' families would say...

18
00:01:15,742 --> 00:01:17,452
{\an8}Detective, Idaho State Police

19
00:01:17,536 --> 00:01:20,539
{\an8}...that justice will not permit them
do that again with someone.

20
00:01:21,623 --> 00:01:24,543
It was such a heinous and serious crime.

21
00:01:24,626 --> 00:01:27,379
who deserved the harshest punishment.

22
00:01:28,714 --> 00:01:31,758
{\an8}Torey Adamcik keeps counting
all kinds of stories...

23
00:01:31,842 --> 00:01:33,010
{\an8}Prosecutor, Bannock County

24
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:35,554
{\an8}...to the police and their parents.

25
00:01:36,138 --> 00:01:39,349
<i>But the defense
He says the evidence doesn't add up.</i>

26
00:01:39,433 --> 00:01:45,105
Leave passions and prejudices aside
that we all had when we saw that video

27
00:01:45,188 --> 00:01:46,189
and look further.

28
00:01:46,273 --> 00:01:48,984
{\an8}22 SEPTEMBER 2006

29
00:01:50,527 --> 00:01:53,655
Brian was physically bigger
and was older,

30
00:01:53,739 --> 00:01:58,118
{\an8}it was clear
better able to commit the crime...

31
00:01:58,201 --> 00:01:59,453
{\an8}Torey lawyer

32
00:01:59,536 --> 00:02:01,955
...and we focus on that.

33
00:02:02,456 --> 00:02:05,375
{\an8}Brian had the idea to hurt people...

34
00:02:05,459 --> 00:02:07,169
{\an8}Torey Adamcik's mother

35
00:02:07,252 --> 00:02:09,338
<i>{\an8}...because he wrote it in R�o Negro...</i>

36
00:02:09,421 --> 00:02:12,341
I put the gun to his head
and pulled the trigger.

37
00:02:12,424 --> 00:02:15,260
...and Torey
They certainly led to that.

38
00:02:16,178 --> 00:02:19,431
{\an8}I think this is the perfect ending
It would be a shooting at a school.

39
00:02:19,514 --> 00:02:20,974
{\an8}It would be a perfect ending.

40
00:02:21,058 --> 00:02:22,059
{\an8}Yes, it's true.

41
00:02:22,142 --> 00:02:26,897
{\an8}Brian says Torey wrote that story

42
00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:29,024
{\an8}and dictated it to him.

43
00:02:29,107 --> 00:02:30,567
{\an8}BLACK RIVER
Of Silence

44
00:02:30,651 --> 00:02:32,903
{\an8}I told Torey
that Brian wasn't good for him.

45
00:02:32,986 --> 00:02:34,112
{\an8}Classmate

46
00:02:34,488 --> 00:02:36,657
{\an8}We should do this, don't you think?

47
00:02:37,616 --> 00:02:41,495
The problem was
that we had interviewed a lot of people,

48
00:02:41,578 --> 00:02:47,959
and the vast majority said Torey
He was the dominant person in that relationship.

49
00:02:48,877 --> 00:02:51,672
{\an8}We are drawing up our kill list.

50
00:02:53,048 --> 00:02:56,176
{\an8}When I saw the whole tape for the first time
and I saw the interactions...

51
00:02:56,259 --> 00:02:57,552
{\an8}Classmate

52
00:02:58,220 --> 00:03:00,681
{\an8}...I thought Torey was the leader

53
00:03:00,764 --> 00:03:04,893
{\an8}because Brian went crazy
and Torey was calmer

54
00:03:04,976 --> 00:03:06,687
{\an8}and he said, “Shut your mouth.”

55
00:03:06,770 --> 00:03:08,689
{\an8}Shut up, we have to organize ourselves.

56
00:03:08,772 --> 00:03:09,773
{\an8}22 SEPTEMBER 2006

57
00:03:09,856 --> 00:03:12,025
{\an8}I know Brian and I know Torey.

58
00:03:12,109 --> 00:03:13,443
{\an8}From my perspective...

59
00:03:13,527 --> 00:03:14,528
{\an8}Classmate

60
00:03:14,611 --> 00:03:17,531
{\an8}...Torey turned against Brian's dark side.

61
00:03:20,742 --> 00:03:25,414
Let's talk about the person
that really matters: Cassie Stoddart.

62
00:03:26,790 --> 00:03:29,000
{\an8}BRIAN DRAPER VERDICT
APRIL 17, 2007

63
00:03:29,084 --> 00:03:30,669
<i>{\an8}Following Judge McDermott's announcement</i>

64
00:03:30,752 --> 00:03:34,798
<i>that there was a verdict,
People broke into the court</i>

65
00:03:34,881 --> 00:03:38,510
<i>Brian Draper came in for the last time
and sat down with his defense</i>

66
00:03:39,886 --> 00:03:44,141
{\an8}I've been doing this for 30 years.
It's the most emotional case I've ever had.

67
00:03:44,224 --> 00:03:45,475
{\an8}Brian's Public Defender

68
00:03:45,559 --> 00:03:47,978
{\an8}I approached Brian and his family.

69
00:03:48,061 --> 00:03:49,396
He was young,

70
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:53,692
I was a father of young people at the time,
and the trial was difficult.

71
00:03:55,193 --> 00:04:00,157
Is Brian Lee Draper guilty or innocent?
of premeditated murder?

72
00:04:04,369 --> 00:04:05,370
Guilty.

73
00:04:11,918 --> 00:04:14,713
I think at that very moment
he realised

74
00:04:16,047 --> 00:04:18,300
{\an8}of the pain he had caused everyone.

75
00:04:18,383 --> 00:04:19,384
{\an8}Brian's mother

76
00:04:19,468 --> 00:04:21,219
{\an8}Guilty, that's what we needed. Thank you.

77
00:04:21,303 --> 00:04:22,304
{\an8}Cassie's mother

78
00:04:22,387 --> 00:04:23,388
Draper guilty

79
00:04:23,472 --> 00:04:26,475
{\an8}Well done. One less, the other missing.

80
00:04:26,558 --> 00:04:27,559
{\an8}Cassie's grandfather

81
00:04:27,642 --> 00:04:29,853
Let's go.

82
00:04:42,991 --> 00:04:45,619
{\an8}TOREY'S VERDICT
JUNE 8, 2007

83
00:04:45,702 --> 00:04:48,997
{\an8}It was a very emotional day
to the family of Torey Adamcik.

84
00:04:52,083 --> 00:04:55,420
I thought the verdict
It would take several days.

85
00:04:55,504 --> 00:04:58,507
Honestly,
I believed the jury at least

86
00:04:58,590 --> 00:05:04,387
would charge him with first-degree murder
and hopefully the conspiracy too.

87
00:05:05,138 --> 00:05:08,892
<i>The jury took seven and a half hours
when making your decision.</i>

88
00:05:09,518 --> 00:05:15,023
Is Torey Michael Adamcik guilty?
or innocent of first degree murder?

89
00:05:16,191 --> 00:05:18,485
The jury answered: "Guilty."

90
00:05:23,615 --> 00:05:27,577
The prosecutor said: 'When you go to sleep
and there is no snow on the ground

91
00:05:27,661 --> 00:05:31,414
and you wake up in the morning and there's snow,
You know it snowed

92
00:05:31,498 --> 00:05:34,584
The two boys were there,
"They were both guilty."

93
00:05:35,502 --> 00:05:39,005
<i>When the decision was read out,
Adamcik's sister cried</i>

94
00:05:40,549 --> 00:05:42,717
<i>and the Stoddart family showed relief.</i>

95
00:05:43,385 --> 00:05:46,471
We have the justice Cassie deserves.

96
00:05:46,555 --> 00:05:49,182
I feel sorry for the other families...

97
00:05:49,266 --> 00:05:50,767
STODDART CASE
ADAMCIK GUILTY

98
00:05:50,851 --> 00:05:53,019
...but I think justice has been done.

99
00:05:55,063 --> 00:05:58,191
When the judge
He said he would condemn them together,

100
00:05:58,275 --> 00:06:00,694
I knew I would give them the same punishment.

101
00:06:01,278 --> 00:06:05,115
Dave told us he was going to use it
for those children as an example

102
00:06:05,198 --> 00:06:07,325
and that we must prepare for it.

103
00:06:08,368 --> 00:06:09,369
{\an8}RIGHT
DISTRICT

104
00:06:09,452 --> 00:06:12,664
{\an8}Judgement
AUGUST 24, 2007

105
00:06:13,665 --> 00:06:17,210
Brian eventually confessed his involvement

106
00:06:17,294 --> 00:06:19,796
and took the detectives to the evidence.

107
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,257
They promised us they would help him

108
00:06:22,340 --> 00:06:25,176
as a result,
and we keep waiting.

109
00:06:26,553 --> 00:06:31,141
{\an8}It looked like they might have a chance
paroled in 30 years.

110
00:06:31,224 --> 00:06:32,392
{\an8}Brian's father

111
00:06:32,475 --> 00:06:35,353
But thirty years is a long time.

112
00:06:35,437 --> 00:06:40,275
I thought, "It seems extreme,
but an appeal will be taken

113
00:06:40,358 --> 00:06:42,027
And we'll see where this goes."

114
00:06:42,736 --> 00:06:47,073
- He was a loving and affectionate boy.
- An incredible boy.

115
00:06:49,075 --> 00:06:51,578
There was a list. They weren't ready yet.

116
00:06:51,661 --> 00:06:52,662
Victims

117
00:06:52,746 --> 00:06:54,789
If they hadn't been caught,
they would have continued.

118
00:06:55,498 --> 00:06:59,878
And people were very worried
for what the judge's decision would be.

119
00:07:00,754 --> 00:07:02,380
The nerves were palpable.

120
00:07:09,804 --> 00:07:12,474
Both were convicted
for first-degree murder.

121
00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:16,978
Cassie was brutally stabbed
many times.

122
00:07:18,772 --> 00:07:20,607
They were dressed up in masks

123
00:07:20,899 --> 00:07:24,361
in the dark,
which made it even more terrifying for her.

124
00:07:25,028 --> 00:07:27,238
They were both excited
with the murder.

125
00:07:27,781 --> 00:07:30,116
It was a terrible and cold-blooded act.

126
00:07:31,951 --> 00:07:35,163
And he added: 'Life imprisonment
without parole.”

127
00:07:35,872 --> 00:07:36,998
A life sentence

128
00:07:37,332 --> 00:07:40,794
without the possibility of parole.

129
00:07:45,298 --> 00:07:47,676
I remember the moment clearly.

130
00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:48,760
Just...

131
00:07:49,678 --> 00:07:52,472
It just devastated me.”

132
00:07:53,223 --> 00:07:55,600
Guys, I'm sorry.

133
00:07:55,684 --> 00:07:59,145
Like I said, you're children,

134
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:03,775
but I have no doubt about it
that if they were released,

135
00:08:04,359 --> 00:08:05,777
They would kill again.

136
00:08:09,030 --> 00:08:10,949
Life imprisonment without parole

137
00:08:12,325 --> 00:08:13,660
It was incomprehensible.

138
00:08:14,452 --> 00:08:19,749
When they finally pronounced the verdict,
I felt immensely relieved.

139
00:08:19,833 --> 00:08:22,043
And I knew it was the right thing to do.

140
00:08:22,127 --> 00:08:27,674
This condemnation is absolutely necessary
for people like Brian and Torey.

141
00:08:29,134 --> 00:08:33,596
I don't know if Torey Adamcik
is the most evil, or Brian Draper,

142
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:36,766
but both
They were involved in the murder.

143
00:08:36,850 --> 00:08:40,186
Both deserved the same punishment,
and that's what they got.

144
00:08:40,270 --> 00:08:43,231
{\an8}Judge: Teenagers
“They would kill again” if they came out

145
00:08:43,314 --> 00:08:45,108
{\an8}Everything was very moving.

146
00:08:45,775 --> 00:08:47,736
{\an8}The impact on the family was enormous.

147
00:08:47,819 --> 00:08:48,820
{\an8}Journalist, Idaho

148
00:08:49,988 --> 00:08:52,907
We will always have an empty space
in the heart

149
00:08:53,533 --> 00:08:56,953
We can't hug her. We can't kiss her.

150
00:08:57,662 --> 00:08:59,497
I left this world terrified.

151
00:08:59,581 --> 00:09:02,667
It was a brutal and vicious crime.

152
00:09:03,793 --> 00:09:06,463
Friends don't kill friends.

153
00:09:07,255 --> 00:09:09,716
They formed our family
lived in hell

154
00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:12,677
and now they will know what hell is like.

155
00:09:16,347 --> 00:09:21,144
No one in their right mind
wants to see a teenager

156
00:09:21,936 --> 00:09:25,065
sentenced to life imprisonment
without parole.

157
00:09:26,566 --> 00:09:31,154
But they tried to become famous by killing

158
00:09:31,237 --> 00:09:34,491
and they have made it explicitly clear

159
00:09:35,408 --> 00:09:37,827
that they planned to kill many people.

160
00:09:39,329 --> 00:09:42,165
As a judge you take them out of the game.

161
00:09:44,292 --> 00:09:46,753
I was hardly responsible enough,

162
00:09:46,836 --> 00:09:50,006
according to our laws,
even have a driver's license.

163
00:09:51,091 --> 00:09:57,388
Life imprisonment without parole
At 16, it's a cruel thing.

164
00:09:57,472 --> 00:09:59,808
That's my opinion as a mother.

165
00:10:02,143 --> 00:10:03,686
We all left on foot.

166
00:10:03,770 --> 00:10:05,814
I'll never forget it.

167
00:10:05,897 --> 00:10:08,858
I got out of there, and the sky...

168
00:10:11,611 --> 00:10:14,823
It flashed, it thundered.

169
00:10:14,906 --> 00:10:17,075
Tree.

170
00:10:18,118 --> 00:10:21,871
It was the fitting end to that day.

171
00:10:21,955 --> 00:10:24,791
Even heaven wanted me dead.

172
00:10:29,379 --> 00:10:31,798
After the process,

173
00:10:31,881 --> 00:10:35,969
my daughter and I went
to a new restaurant in town.

174
00:10:36,052 --> 00:10:37,053
FOOD AND DRINKS

175
00:10:37,137 --> 00:10:40,140
And when we walked in, I felt something.

176
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,644
People talked, pointed and looked,

177
00:10:44,727 --> 00:10:47,147
but the waitress came over and said:

178
00:10:47,230 --> 00:10:49,816
"I want to tell you
that I'm related to Cassie."

179
00:10:51,985 --> 00:10:56,531
And I just thought, "Please, God,
Don't do this in front of my daughter.

180
00:10:56,614 --> 00:10:58,449
If you want to destroy me,

181
00:11:00,285 --> 00:11:03,454
"It's okay, but not in front of my daughter."

182
00:11:05,290 --> 00:11:07,000
And she...

183
00:11:07,959 --> 00:11:12,005
She said, “I just want to thank you.”

184
00:11:12,088 --> 00:11:15,466
for kindness and respect
that you showed my family.”

185
00:11:15,550 --> 00:11:19,554
But I know the pain my family caused him.

186
00:11:21,347 --> 00:11:26,394
And his kindness to us
It came unexpectedly,

187
00:11:28,188 --> 00:11:30,190
but beautiful.

188
00:11:31,649 --> 00:11:33,735
I fought to survive.

189
00:11:33,818 --> 00:11:37,822
I don't know if it was for one year or two
that I tried to work,

190
00:11:37,906 --> 00:11:39,449
that I was trying to do things.

191
00:11:41,534 --> 00:11:42,869
And one day I left.

192
00:11:44,704 --> 00:11:46,122
I didn't even sell my stuff.

193
00:11:46,206 --> 00:11:47,624
Pocatello
UNIVERSITY

194
00:11:47,707 --> 00:11:50,293
He literally gave everything away.

195
00:11:51,252 --> 00:11:54,172
I lost over a million
only in real estate.

196
00:11:55,048 --> 00:11:59,886
I wanted to give away everything I could
and disappear.

197
00:12:08,478 --> 00:12:12,523
{\an8}2025
18 YEARS LATER

198
00:12:12,607 --> 00:12:15,526
Brian and I came here
skateboarding.

199
00:12:16,986 --> 00:12:20,490
{\an8}We hung out here
and we enjoyed life as children.

200
00:12:20,573 --> 00:12:21,574
{\an8}Classmate

201
00:12:24,577 --> 00:12:30,333
It was very surreal that something like that was so bad
could come out of nowhere.

202
00:12:32,669 --> 00:12:34,963
I wish things hadn't been like this.

203
00:12:37,757 --> 00:12:41,052
I feel like I would like to sit down

204
00:12:41,135 --> 00:12:44,889
{\an8}and being able to look Brian in the eye

205
00:12:44,973 --> 00:12:50,353
{\an8}and tell him:
"I'm still here and you haven't broken me."

206
00:12:50,436 --> 00:12:57,151
But you have to know
that you took away a part of my life.”

207
00:13:09,455 --> 00:13:13,793
{\an8}STATE CORRECTIONAL
FROM IDAHO

208
00:13:13,876 --> 00:13:18,298
{\an8}Being a father means
always support your children,

209
00:13:18,381 --> 00:13:19,882
always support them.

210
00:13:19,966 --> 00:13:25,471
And as incredible as it may seem,
That won't change if your son goes to prison.

211
00:13:26,222 --> 00:13:27,640
Even for murder.

212
00:13:29,767 --> 00:13:32,937
My son came here
just after your 18th birthday

213
00:13:33,021 --> 00:13:36,983
and has been here,
in the same institution ever since.

214
00:13:38,401 --> 00:13:42,405
Initially there were some problems

215
00:13:42,488 --> 00:13:47,201
with people who were violent towards him
because of his crime.

216
00:13:47,285 --> 00:13:50,997
A young woman was involved.
The prisoners don't like that.

217
00:13:55,710 --> 00:13:58,588
The pain that crime caused

218
00:14:00,048 --> 00:14:04,302
There is no excuse or explanation for it.

219
00:14:06,929 --> 00:14:08,181
Just misery.

220
00:14:12,185 --> 00:14:15,438
<i>Violence,
and in particular violence with a weapon...</i>

221
00:14:16,439 --> 00:14:20,568
<i>If you brandish a weapon, you are more powerful
than everything that lies ahead.</i>

222
00:14:21,486 --> 00:14:24,864
<i>Everyone understands violence,
they feel it and fear it.</i>

223
00:14:28,326 --> 00:14:34,207
{\an8}BRIAN DRAPER
35 YEARS

224
00:14:34,290 --> 00:14:38,795
At school it didn't matter what I did
it also didn't affect the people around me.

225
00:14:39,337 --> 00:14:41,297
I felt like I was disappearing.

226
00:14:41,589 --> 00:14:43,132
{\an8}22 SEPTEMBER 2006

227
00:14:43,216 --> 00:14:45,093
{\an8} How can I influence people?

228
00:14:45,176 --> 00:14:48,346
{\an8}in a sense
that is tangible and audible?

229
00:14:48,429 --> 00:14:49,430
{\an8}By force.

230
00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:52,016
{\an8}To those who are weak like me

231
00:14:52,350 --> 00:14:55,144
I can attack them like a child
without using words.

232
00:14:59,398 --> 00:15:02,235
As you grow,
I had a pretty normal childhood.

233
00:15:02,985 --> 00:15:05,321
I played hide and seek with my friends.

234
00:15:05,780 --> 00:15:07,990
We did everyday things.

235
00:15:09,492 --> 00:15:12,203
As a child I was always empathetic and emotional,

236
00:15:12,745 --> 00:15:15,039
but it wasn't connected to that.

237
00:15:15,248 --> 00:15:19,460
I didn't understand why it was
the world around me was so intense.

238
00:15:20,086 --> 00:15:22,839
That scared me
He chased me and tortured me.

239
00:15:24,215 --> 00:15:27,135
I dreamed of becoming
into an incredible skater.

240
00:15:30,388 --> 00:15:32,807
I wanted to feel important and special.

241
00:15:34,767 --> 00:15:41,732
As I grew, that became contaminated,
It twisted and became something terrible.

242
00:15:44,110 --> 00:15:46,946
<i>Two armed masked men
and dressed in black

243
00:15:47,029 --> 00:15:50,283
<i>they started shooting at them
for a minimum of 18 people.</i>

244
00:15:50,366 --> 00:15:51,409
COLUMBINE HIGH SCHOOL

245
00:15:53,161 --> 00:15:56,747
{\an8}That shooting opened a path
for kids like me to follow.

246
00:15:57,290 --> 00:16:00,710
{\an8}I thought I could imitate those shooters.

247
00:16:01,127 --> 00:16:05,173
I wanted them to think of Columbine when they saw me
and that they were afraid of me.

248
00:16:06,340 --> 00:16:10,136
I logged in and chatted constantly.

249
00:16:10,344 --> 00:16:13,556
with people who adored those boys,

250
00:16:14,098 --> 00:16:16,309
which I thought were great.

251
00:16:17,393 --> 00:16:19,520
I watched all his home videos.

252
00:16:19,604 --> 00:16:22,273
I saw those things every day.

253
00:16:22,815 --> 00:16:24,442
And that's how I identified myself.

254
00:16:25,193 --> 00:16:28,112
I bought a raincoat
and he wore it like it was a t-shirt.

255
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:35,161
Villains are great in movies.
If you are one in real life, you will be great.

256
00:16:35,870 --> 00:16:40,124
At school all the girls would love me
and I could finally have a girlfriend.

257
00:16:41,375 --> 00:16:42,376
That's what I thought.

258
00:16:45,463 --> 00:16:48,674
They have no idea what it is
waking up every day

259
00:16:48,758 --> 00:16:53,387
and knowing that you took someone's life
and you can't undo it.

260
00:16:54,388 --> 00:16:58,059
When I was 16 years old,
I didn't know what it meant to do something like that.

261
00:16:58,643 --> 00:17:00,269
And I think that's part of me

262
00:17:01,062 --> 00:17:04,941
I thought it would all work out in the end
and they would go back to school.

263
00:17:05,983 --> 00:17:10,947
And over time, as I get older here,
I realized how stupid that was.

264
00:17:20,414 --> 00:17:22,667
{\an8}CLASS

265
00:17:29,966 --> 00:17:33,803
The library is up there.

266
00:17:35,012 --> 00:17:37,890
{\an8}It reminds me of Torey and Brian
They were sitting there...

267
00:17:37,974 --> 00:17:38,975
{\an8}Classmate

268
00:17:39,684 --> 00:17:41,310
{\an8}...and they recorded that video

269
00:17:42,562 --> 00:17:44,021
before she killed Cassie.

270
00:17:48,234 --> 00:17:51,195
It's hard for me
because she was very close to Torey.

271
00:17:53,447 --> 00:17:58,452
I often wonder
If I'm the only one trapped in the past,

272
00:17:58,536 --> 00:18:00,329
with everything that happened.

273
00:18:02,790 --> 00:18:06,127
{\an8}SEPTEMBER 21, 2006
1 DAY BEFORE CASSIE'S MURDER

274
00:18:06,210 --> 00:18:08,379
{\an8}The day before the murder,

275
00:18:08,462 --> 00:18:11,841
{\an8}Torey asked me in a hallway
from Pocatello High School

276
00:18:11,924 --> 00:18:15,052
{\an8}to have a sleepover with Cassie.

277
00:18:16,220 --> 00:18:18,389
There would be no adults.

278
00:18:18,472 --> 00:18:24,812
We would just become that
Cassie, me, Torey and Brian.

279
00:18:27,690 --> 00:18:32,278
I had plans with my boyfriend and his parents
to go to a basketball game.

280
00:18:32,778 --> 00:18:37,575
Who knows what would have happened
if he had spent that night with Cassie.

281
00:18:39,410 --> 00:18:42,788
The next day Torey was
to my boyfriend's parents' house

282
00:18:42,872 --> 00:18:45,416
and I just remember I was eating

283
00:18:45,499 --> 00:18:49,295
with my boyfriend, his parents
and Torey by my side.

284
00:18:53,591 --> 00:18:57,845
He acted as if nothing had happened,

285
00:18:57,928 --> 00:19:01,265
and that was before it was known
that she had died.

286
00:19:04,644 --> 00:19:07,063
Torey was like any teenager.

287
00:19:08,356 --> 00:19:10,399
There were no warning signs.

288
00:19:11,525 --> 00:19:16,447
And if it had been,
I wish I had seen them because I didn't.

289
00:19:18,949 --> 00:19:22,078
<i>Hi, do you have a free phone call from...</i>

290
00:19:23,037 --> 00:19:24,580
<i>Torey Adamcik.</i>

291
00:19:24,664 --> 00:19:29,043
<i>...a resident of the facility
Idaho Maximum safety.</i>

292
00:19:31,629 --> 00:19:36,509
TORY ADAMCIK
35 YEARS

293
00:19:36,592 --> 00:19:39,845
After the crime was committed,

294
00:19:40,262 --> 00:19:43,265
I couldn't face it emotionally.

295
00:19:44,308 --> 00:19:49,355
In short, he was a worthless person.

296
00:19:49,689 --> 00:19:55,194
The first thing I did after the crime
They were lied to about it.

297
00:19:57,697 --> 00:20:01,617
He admitted everything he had done,

298
00:20:02,243 --> 00:20:06,664
Besides stabbing Cassie,
because I couldn't admit it.

299
00:20:10,292 --> 00:20:14,296
So I kept lying

300
00:20:14,922 --> 00:20:17,425
and made everything worse with the lie,

301
00:20:19,343 --> 00:20:22,805
instead of taking responsibility
for what he had done.

302
00:20:25,933 --> 00:20:29,228
I was still too cowardly to admit it

303
00:20:29,311 --> 00:20:33,023
to my parents or my lawyers.

304
00:20:33,607 --> 00:20:38,070
And it took me a while to wake up to that,

305
00:20:39,447 --> 00:20:42,908
but when I did it I thought:
"And what should I do now?"

306
00:20:43,576 --> 00:20:48,789
It's liberating because I feel
I can talk about everything now.

307
00:20:53,377 --> 00:20:57,882
Brian and I weren't the same,
but we both had our reasons

308
00:20:57,965 --> 00:21:01,510
to hate something that happened.

309
00:21:03,095 --> 00:21:05,306
I stopped believing in God.

310
00:21:06,182 --> 00:21:09,101
One day I will die
and life has no meaning.

311
00:21:09,685 --> 00:21:14,482
When nothing matters,
Morality has no purpose.

312
00:21:15,566 --> 00:21:19,779
You probably believe in God too.

313
00:21:20,321 --> 00:21:23,115
{\an8}When I was in seventh grade,
I realized it

314
00:21:24,074 --> 00:21:27,953
people don't believe that
in Santa Claus, vampires or werewolves.

315
00:21:28,954 --> 00:21:35,085
Because I'm a 16 year old boy,
I was drunk on bad ideas.

316
00:21:36,587 --> 00:21:40,549
I was obsessed with death
because I had no answer for her.

317
00:21:41,592 --> 00:21:44,512
Brian and I convinced each other
to do it,

318
00:21:44,595 --> 00:21:46,555
and that's how we got there.

319
00:21:50,267 --> 00:21:52,853
I wanted a different life for myself,

320
00:21:52,937 --> 00:21:54,271
but at that moment,

321
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:59,944
{\an8}I didn't have the experience or the wisdom
to see something of that.

322
00:22:00,528 --> 00:22:03,280
I was lost in a heterosexual world.

323
00:22:05,658 --> 00:22:10,079
{\an8}I don't know if he was just starting to realize it
or if he had already realized it.

324
00:22:10,162 --> 00:22:12,414
{\an8}I don't know when he did it, but he's gay.

325
00:22:13,332 --> 00:22:15,709
And he had a lot of trouble with that.

326
00:22:16,710 --> 00:22:22,007
All my friends were straight,
as well as all the relatives I know.

327
00:22:22,508 --> 00:22:24,718
I didn't know anyone at all

328
00:22:24,802 --> 00:22:27,888
not even a distant friend
of the family,

329
00:22:27,972 --> 00:22:30,099
that he was openly homosexual.

330
00:22:30,933 --> 00:22:34,353
When Torey told me:
we were in prison.

331
00:22:34,436 --> 00:22:37,565
He told me:
“I've wanted to tell you this for years, Mom.

332
00:22:37,648 --> 00:22:39,733
"I never knew how to tell you."

333
00:22:40,693 --> 00:22:42,736
And that big lie

334
00:22:42,820 --> 00:22:46,615
that had dominated
most of my life at that time

335
00:22:47,366 --> 00:22:48,659
finally disappeared.

336
00:22:50,411 --> 00:22:57,251
But that doesn't excuse what I did
nor for the decisions I made.

337
00:22:58,878 --> 00:23:02,339
It was very difficult for him
Tell me he was gay.

338
00:23:03,757 --> 00:23:07,136
And I said, "Torey,
after everything we've been through,

339
00:23:07,219 --> 00:23:08,637
“This is nothing.”

340
00:23:09,805 --> 00:23:14,727
Before they arrested me,
I felt like my parents were obstacles.

341
00:23:16,103 --> 00:23:19,106
I don't know how they would have recorded it
to tell them he was gay.

342
00:23:19,732 --> 00:23:21,859
Maybe it wouldn't have bothered them.

343
00:23:23,110 --> 00:23:24,320
It didn't affect me at all

344
00:23:24,403 --> 00:23:28,365
but I cannot say that it would have been so
before all this.

345
00:23:28,449 --> 00:23:30,492
I wouldn't have been happy.

346
00:23:31,452 --> 00:23:32,995
This changed me a lot.

347
00:23:33,078 --> 00:23:34,538
I'll be very sincere.

348
00:23:34,622 --> 00:23:37,249
I thought she was a really great mother.

349
00:23:37,333 --> 00:23:39,335
I thought, "Gosh, I'm doing everything right."

350
00:23:39,919 --> 00:23:42,171
I was very involved with my children.

351
00:23:43,130 --> 00:23:45,341
And suddenly,
I lost all those login details.

352
00:23:45,424 --> 00:23:48,052
Torey was arrested.
"I can't raise anyone."

353
00:23:48,802 --> 00:23:50,220
You failed at that job.

354
00:23:56,685 --> 00:23:59,438
I wish I had known more.
But I didn't know anymore.

355
00:24:00,272 --> 00:24:02,399
I lacked tools.

356
00:24:06,153 --> 00:24:07,404
{\an8}For you,

357
00:24:07,613 --> 00:24:10,616
{\an8}future serial killers
who sees this band...

358
00:24:11,575 --> 00:24:12,701
{\an8}I don't know what to say.

359
00:24:12,826 --> 00:24:14,828
{\an8}- It's very funny.
- Good luck.

360
00:24:16,246 --> 00:24:17,623
{\an8}Good luck.

361
00:24:18,499 --> 00:24:22,795
{\an8}If you have no problem telling me,
Tell me why they made that video.

362
00:24:25,881 --> 00:24:26,882
Well...

363
00:24:30,761 --> 00:24:33,430
{\an8}Cassie and Matt are our friends,

364
00:24:33,514 --> 00:24:35,849
{\an8}but we have to make sacrifices.

365
00:24:36,934 --> 00:24:38,310
{\an8}In that video,

366
00:24:38,394 --> 00:24:41,230
we documented what we thought

367
00:24:41,313 --> 00:24:42,731
and we planned.

368
00:24:43,315 --> 00:24:46,568
{\an8}But I was aware of it
that I was on camera,

369
00:24:46,652 --> 00:24:50,823
{\an8}So I behaved a little differently

370
00:24:51,115 --> 00:24:54,368
{\an8}just like he would have done off camera,
if that makes sense.

371
00:24:55,411 --> 00:24:56,620
{\an8}We played dress-up.

372
00:24:57,621 --> 00:25:00,332
we could be
the characters we wanted to be

373
00:25:00,874 --> 00:25:02,418
and who we wanted to represent.

374
00:25:03,711 --> 00:25:07,006
{\an8}I don't think so
really him or me on the tape.

375
00:25:08,257 --> 00:25:14,513
{\an8}It's not like he's on Dr. Jekyll seemed
and Mr. Hyde, with or without camera,

376
00:25:14,596 --> 00:25:19,309
{\an8}but it added a filter to who I was.

377
00:25:21,061 --> 00:25:25,232
{\an8}I don't want to make excuses.
I don't want to defend my 16 year old self.

378
00:25:25,691 --> 00:25:26,692
It's not necessary,

379
00:25:26,942 --> 00:25:27,943
because that boy

380
00:25:28,444 --> 00:25:29,486
It was what it was.

381
00:25:31,238 --> 00:25:33,240
The person who committed that crime

382
00:25:34,158 --> 00:25:35,159
it no longer exists.

383
00:25:35,242 --> 00:25:37,411
He disappeared, as did what he was.

384
00:25:39,371 --> 00:25:42,124
That crime took place
when he was 16 years old.

385
00:25:42,958 --> 00:25:46,211
We know without a doubt

386
00:25:46,295 --> 00:25:51,383
that brain development
At the age of 16 it is not yet complete.

387
00:25:52,968 --> 00:25:56,263
The crime isn't about Brian.

388
00:25:56,346 --> 00:25:58,223
It's not about Torey.

389
00:25:58,307 --> 00:26:01,268
The crime is about Brian and Torey.

390
00:26:02,394 --> 00:26:06,190
{\an8}Two troublesome teenagers
They fed each other.

391
00:26:07,649 --> 00:26:10,319
{\an8}The teenage brain is like a car...

392
00:26:10,402 --> 00:26:11,904
{\an8}Professor of psychology

393
00:26:11,987 --> 00:26:15,783
{\an8}...at full throttle
and without a good braking system.

394
00:26:15,866 --> 00:26:17,701
What makes teenagers murderers?

395
00:26:19,286 --> 00:26:22,414
And that's only around 20 years old

396
00:26:22,498 --> 00:26:25,334
that self-control tends to improve.

397
00:26:26,502 --> 00:26:29,171
{\an8}Killing adults
for obvious reasons: jealousy, profit.

398
00:26:29,254 --> 00:26:31,131
{\an8}Professor of Criminology

399
00:26:31,799 --> 00:26:35,177
{\an8}Teenagers
They usually kill for no reason.

400
00:26:35,260 --> 00:26:37,304
{\an8}KILL
It was "INCREDIBLE"

401
00:26:37,387 --> 00:26:41,850
A leather jacket, a pair of shoes,
a provocative look, imitating a film.

402
00:26:41,934 --> 00:26:43,102
<i>Do you want to die?</i>

403
00:26:45,354 --> 00:26:47,356
{\an8}They are impatient and impulsive.

404
00:26:48,273 --> 00:26:51,902
A 16 year old boy
can commit the most heinous crime.

405
00:26:53,070 --> 00:26:57,991
They are not equally morally responsible
than adults.

406
00:26:59,910 --> 00:27:01,328
There are two people:

407
00:27:02,037 --> 00:27:05,457
the child I was, who brought me here
and who has committed a crime,

408
00:27:05,749 --> 00:27:07,042
and who I am now.

409
00:27:08,043 --> 00:27:12,965
And I feel like I'm fulfilling
a punishment that is his, not mine.

410
00:27:17,719 --> 00:27:21,598
When I was 25, I thought:
“God, this shit will never end.”

411
00:27:21,682 --> 00:27:26,395
And in the case of life imprisonment
without parole,

412
00:27:26,478 --> 00:27:30,440
It's hard to think about responsibility
Twenty or thirty years later.

413
00:27:32,317 --> 00:27:37,698
We are the only country in the world
who imprison minors for life

414
00:27:37,781 --> 00:27:40,117
and without possible parole.

415
00:27:40,701 --> 00:27:43,287
Do you think Brian
Has he achieved enough?

416
00:27:43,370 --> 00:27:45,330
Do you think it's time for it to come out?

417
00:27:45,414 --> 00:27:49,376
Well, it's a very good question.

418
00:27:49,459 --> 00:27:52,087
The quick answer is yes.

419
00:27:53,046 --> 00:27:57,009
They were children. Now they are different people.

420
00:28:00,846 --> 00:28:04,224
{\an8}JUNE 25, 2012
6 YEARS AFTER CASSIE'S MURDER

421
00:28:04,308 --> 00:28:07,102
{\an8}The Supreme Court has ruled
that you can touch up close.

422
00:28:07,185 --> 00:28:11,565
{\an8}The question is whether it is constitutional
that young people have been convicted of murder

423
00:28:11,648 --> 00:28:16,278
receive life sentences
without the possibility of parole.

424
00:28:16,778 --> 00:28:18,113
{\an8}Perpetual Without Conditional

425
00:28:18,196 --> 00:28:20,532
{\an8}In 2012, the Supreme Court decided

426
00:28:20,616 --> 00:28:22,659
{\an8}that life without parole...

427
00:28:22,743 --> 00:28:23,911
{\an8}Professor of social work

428
00:28:23,994 --> 00:28:25,579
{\an8}...was unconstitutional and cruel.

429
00:28:26,788 --> 00:28:29,207
We treat young people differently
in many aspects.

430
00:28:29,291 --> 00:28:30,834
{\an8}They can only vote when they are 18.

431
00:28:30,918 --> 00:28:33,545
{\an8}They cannot drink or smoke
Also, don't go to a casino before you are 21.

432
00:28:33,629 --> 00:28:35,047
{\an8}Assistant Prosecutor

433
00:28:35,964 --> 00:28:39,760
We knew that, teenagers
They think and behave differently,

434
00:28:39,843 --> 00:28:44,181
and those circumstances
were not taken into account in these cases.

435
00:28:44,848 --> 00:28:50,062
The U.S. Supreme Court has not specified this
If it were a retroactive decision.

436
00:28:50,145 --> 00:28:53,231
What's wrong with the boys?
processed before the ruling?

437
00:28:53,815 --> 00:28:56,944
Some states
They decided to change the sentence

438
00:28:57,027 --> 00:29:00,197
of those with an everlasting one
without parole.

439
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,951
And now the parole
they had an audience

440
00:29:04,034 --> 00:29:08,538
For those who have been in prison for a while:
for minors with life sentences.

441
00:29:09,665 --> 00:29:14,378
Would you make the same decision at the age of 16?
what at 30? Probably not.

442
00:29:16,505 --> 00:29:18,799
{\an8}�How do I know if someone has been rehabilitated...

443
00:29:18,882 --> 00:29:20,050
{\an8}Detective, Idaho

444
00:29:20,133 --> 00:29:22,177
{\an8}...before you release it again,

445
00:29:22,260 --> 00:29:24,763
after we had done everything we did

446
00:29:24,846 --> 00:29:28,016
protect
for society and the victims?

447
00:29:33,522 --> 00:29:36,191
{\an8}I'm not that 14-year-old boy anymore.

448
00:29:36,274 --> 00:29:41,321
{\an8}I am a 51 year old adult,
mature and responsible.

449
00:29:41,405 --> 00:29:44,992
A man beaten to death
to a classmate in his adolescence

450
00:29:45,075 --> 00:29:48,328
was granted parole
after 37 years.

451
00:29:50,247 --> 00:29:54,835
Rod Matthews murdered
to Shaun Ouillette in 1986

452
00:29:54,918 --> 00:29:56,420
in Canton, Massachusetts.

453
00:29:57,212 --> 00:29:59,464
He was the youngest person in the US.

454
00:29:59,548 --> 00:30:01,925
tried as an adult for such a crime.

455
00:30:04,970 --> 00:30:08,849
{\an8}I am Shaun Ouillette's mother.

456
00:30:08,932 --> 00:30:10,475
{\an8}I was 14 years old...

457
00:30:10,559 --> 00:30:11,560
{\an8}Shaun's mother

458
00:30:11,643 --> 00:30:17,107
...then his partner Rod Matthews
I took him to the woods...

459
00:30:17,816 --> 00:30:21,778
And I hit him with a baseball bat,
and I quote, "because."

460
00:30:21,862 --> 00:30:25,949
<i>The prosecutor says Matthews
He carefully planned what he did,</i>

461
00:30:26,033 --> 00:30:29,703
<i>Then he cleaned the bloody bat
in the snow

462
00:30:29,786 --> 00:30:32,080
<i>and took friends to view the body.</i>

463
00:30:32,956 --> 00:30:38,628
He stated, “I need to know.”
How does it feel to kill someone?

464
00:30:38,712 --> 00:30:40,714
Can you imagine if we heard that?

465
00:30:43,133 --> 00:30:45,052
There's no logic in it whatsoever.

466
00:30:46,303 --> 00:30:47,304
I'll never have it.

467
00:30:48,096 --> 00:30:51,600
{\an8}I started meeting
with the victims' families.

468
00:30:52,392 --> 00:30:57,064
{\an8}With Jeanne Quinn, who I understood
for the loss and pain he felt.

469
00:30:58,356 --> 00:31:02,819
Decades later I had news
from Rod Matthews, who had written to me.

470
00:31:03,403 --> 00:31:07,741
I understood completely
the seriousness of the crime he committed.

471
00:31:08,784 --> 00:31:14,164
Guilt, shame and remorse
They are part of who I am, as they should be.

472
00:31:14,247 --> 00:31:16,500
I never want to stop feeling that way

473
00:31:16,583 --> 00:31:20,712
because I would feel freed from guilt,

474
00:31:20,796 --> 00:31:23,298
and that should never happen
after what I did.

475
00:31:25,050 --> 00:31:29,262
When testifying before the release board
conditionally on behalf of Matthews,

476
00:31:29,346 --> 00:31:31,515
I didn't do it as a friend of the killer.

477
00:31:31,598 --> 00:31:35,685
I didn't do it as an enemy
from the victim's family,

478
00:31:35,769 --> 00:31:37,687
but in the name of righteousness.

479
00:31:38,939 --> 00:31:42,317
I saw it very clearly
your level of regret

480
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,113
and it wasn't the same person
that was at the age of 14.

481
00:31:47,114 --> 00:31:50,158
Should your age matter?
No. His actions do.

482
00:31:50,951 --> 00:31:53,370
The actions he committed should matter.

483
00:31:54,287 --> 00:31:57,040
He lost his minor title.

484
00:31:57,541 --> 00:31:58,917
He is 15 years old.

485
00:32:00,460 --> 00:32:02,087
But he's a murderer.

486
00:32:03,547 --> 00:32:08,301
<i>Shaun's mother pleads with the board
to keep Matthews behind bars.</i>

487
00:32:08,385 --> 00:32:10,220
I should tell them my fears.

488
00:32:10,303 --> 00:32:14,516
It's about wealth, health and well-being
from all of us.

489
00:32:16,434 --> 00:32:22,440
Now we're in 2025 and Rod Matthews
He was granted parole.

490
00:32:23,358 --> 00:32:26,236
Man released on parole
37 years after the murder of a colleague

491
00:32:26,319 --> 00:32:27,988
I'm furious.

492
00:32:28,864 --> 00:32:34,035
I can't do anything
so Rod Matthews doesn't come out.

493
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,373
Nothing.

494
00:32:40,709 --> 00:32:44,087
You don't stop someone else's heartbeat

495
00:32:44,629 --> 00:32:46,423
and you get your way.

496
00:32:47,215 --> 00:32:48,508
Never.

497
00:32:50,010 --> 00:32:52,429
{\an8}You destroy a lot of people.

498
00:32:53,346 --> 00:32:55,515
{\an8}Hey, look, it's Cassie.

499
00:32:55,599 --> 00:32:59,853
{\an8}I know families usually want that
That person remains stuck.

500
00:33:00,437 --> 00:33:03,690
It doesn't depend on the families.
It depends on the society.

501
00:33:04,858 --> 00:33:08,945
I don't know about Draper and Adamcik
They deserve early release.

502
00:33:09,029 --> 00:33:12,365
It will depend on what happened
over the past 20 years.

503
00:33:12,449 --> 00:33:13,783
Have they changed?

504
00:33:16,077 --> 00:33:18,705
I've tried to understand it all

505
00:33:19,372 --> 00:33:20,999
for a long time.

506
00:33:21,791 --> 00:33:23,793
This was not an act

507
00:33:24,336 --> 00:33:27,255
of professionals
who murdered in cold blood.

508
00:33:28,173 --> 00:33:31,801
All I can say is that it was a crisis

509
00:33:31,885 --> 00:33:35,347
what made me want to be there
hurt someone.

510
00:33:37,474 --> 00:33:39,559
Something you haven't explained

511
00:33:39,643 --> 00:33:44,606
and we're still trying
understand better...

512
00:33:45,899 --> 00:33:46,983
Why Cassie?

513
00:33:58,078 --> 00:33:59,788
It was Cassie

514
00:34:01,373 --> 00:34:03,124
a friend from school.

515
00:34:04,084 --> 00:34:07,379
She was more outgoing than me,

516
00:34:07,796 --> 00:34:13,718
so he helped me
to feel comfortable when I was with her.

517
00:34:15,637 --> 00:34:18,556
Therefore, Cassie's death is tragic.

518
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,350
Because he just had that

519
00:34:20,433 --> 00:34:24,145
the bad luck of being alone

520
00:34:24,396 --> 00:34:27,857
and Brian and I had talked
kill someone

521
00:34:27,941 --> 00:34:30,527
a week earlier.

522
00:34:32,946 --> 00:34:35,323
I don't know if anyone can understand,

523
00:34:35,407 --> 00:34:37,075
but I really didn't have that

524
00:34:37,867 --> 00:34:40,328
no reason to hurt him.

525
00:34:42,622 --> 00:34:48,128
I don't know how I couldn't see
the basic empathy I owed him.

526
00:34:52,007 --> 00:34:54,592
{\an8}Let's admit something we know to be true.

527
00:34:54,718 --> 00:34:55,927
{\an8}Detective, Idaho

528
00:34:56,011 --> 00:34:57,554
{\an8}For some reason,

529
00:34:57,637 --> 00:35:01,266
these two boys,
When they committed that murder,

530
00:35:01,349 --> 00:35:02,475
They were broken.

531
00:35:03,393 --> 00:35:05,228
Something was broken in them.

532
00:35:06,646 --> 00:35:08,982
When do we consider
Is that certain?

533
00:35:11,526 --> 00:35:16,031
As for what I did when I was 16:
The life I've lived since then

534
00:35:16,197 --> 00:35:19,159
I think, I hope it's okay,

535
00:35:19,284 --> 00:35:21,536
better and more productive, which proves

536
00:35:21,953 --> 00:35:26,458
that you can live a normal life
and be a normal person if you try your best.

537
00:35:27,167 --> 00:35:29,044
Torey too. I don't know anything about him,

538
00:35:29,294 --> 00:35:34,049
but I imagine that's true
redeeming qualities. Don't know.

539
00:35:34,132 --> 00:35:35,133
But...

540
00:35:35,759 --> 00:35:40,722
Brian and Torey don't talk to each other.
They have never done that since their captivity.

541
00:35:40,805 --> 00:35:44,684
They never shared...
They have been kept separate to this day.

542
00:35:44,768 --> 00:35:47,812
They only meet by chance.

543
00:35:49,439 --> 00:35:51,650
We treat each other with cordiality,

544
00:35:52,525 --> 00:35:54,986
but it doesn't go much further than that.

545
00:35:57,072 --> 00:35:59,699
We had a conversation ten years ago.

546
00:36:00,742 --> 00:36:02,035
I didn't want any tension,

547
00:36:02,118 --> 00:36:04,954
so a day at the gym
I said, "Torey."

548
00:36:05,038 --> 00:36:07,707
He didn't even recognize me
I thought it was someone else.

549
00:36:07,791 --> 00:36:09,209
And we talked about it.

550
00:36:10,043 --> 00:36:14,547
We've had different positions
about what happened,

551
00:36:14,631 --> 00:36:19,094
but I think we've actually decided

552
00:36:19,636 --> 00:36:22,514
accept responsibility on this point.

553
00:36:24,057 --> 00:36:27,143
The children we were are no longer there
and that link disappeared.

554
00:36:27,852 --> 00:36:29,562
That's how I see it.

555
00:36:32,691 --> 00:36:35,944
I would like for my son

556
00:36:36,027 --> 00:36:40,115
had the capacity
to prove his worth.

557
00:36:42,117 --> 00:36:47,414
But at the same time, I'll tell you Cassie
I don't get a second chance,

558
00:36:47,497 --> 00:36:49,457
and that's my family's fault.

559
00:36:50,250 --> 00:36:53,211
'I think my son
deserves a second chance?

560
00:36:54,462 --> 00:36:56,005
It's very difficult.

561
00:36:58,049 --> 00:37:00,927
If Brian hadn't told us
where was the evidence,

562
00:37:01,010 --> 00:37:04,347
we wouldn't have had them
and the case would not have been so strong.

563
00:37:04,431 --> 00:37:07,267
At that moment I believed, and I still believe,

564
00:37:07,350 --> 00:37:13,940
Some kind of must have deserved that
consideration to participate.

565
00:37:15,984 --> 00:37:21,072
{\an8}I'm stuck in the worst decision
which I took as a teenager.

566
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:24,909
And I can't change it.

567
00:37:27,495 --> 00:37:29,706
I think Torey accepted it

568
00:37:29,789 --> 00:37:31,875
who will spend his life in prison.

569
00:37:34,002 --> 00:37:38,923
After the Supreme Court ruling,
Idaho has not changed its state

570
00:37:39,007 --> 00:37:42,886
of no young man with a life sentence
without parole.

571
00:37:44,471 --> 00:37:47,849
he should get
a commutation of the governor's sentences.

572
00:37:48,683 --> 00:37:50,018
That's not going to happen.

573
00:37:51,811 --> 00:37:56,983
I hope that before I die,
Someone's looking at Torey

574
00:37:57,066 --> 00:38:01,696
and see that he is a man
worth a second chance.

575
00:38:06,117 --> 00:38:11,748
I am a God fearing person
and I believe that people can be rehabilitated,

576
00:38:11,831 --> 00:38:16,711
{\an8}but when you serve
to someone so beautiful in this world,

577
00:38:16,795 --> 00:38:18,755
{\an8}you must pay the price.

578
00:38:20,590 --> 00:38:22,717
{\an8}When I think of Cassie,

579
00:38:22,801 --> 00:38:26,179
{\an8}I'm thinking of a girl...

580
00:38:27,472 --> 00:38:28,473
It's terrible.

581
00:38:28,890 --> 00:38:30,642
Because I see girls visiting

582
00:38:32,936 --> 00:38:36,147
and I can't imagine hurting someone like that,
but I did it.

583
00:38:37,357 --> 00:38:40,109
Part of that nightmare
will never disappear

584
00:38:40,193 --> 00:38:42,529
and she's dead.

585
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,534
That will never go away.
And not that night either.

586
00:38:51,412 --> 00:38:54,541
When I think of Anna Stoddart

587
00:38:54,624 --> 00:38:59,587
and in the loss he suffered

588
00:38:59,671 --> 00:39:01,422
and what he had to go through,

589
00:39:01,506 --> 00:39:05,260
It's like looking through glass,

590
00:39:07,262 --> 00:39:09,639
but there is a mirror behind it

591
00:39:09,722 --> 00:39:11,391
and I see myself.

592
00:39:12,225 --> 00:39:14,853
Cassie and Shaun's killers

593
00:39:16,145 --> 00:39:18,106
They must stay where they are.

594
00:39:22,485 --> 00:39:25,947
I take responsibility for my children.

595
00:39:26,030 --> 00:39:27,323
I raised them.

596
00:39:29,951 --> 00:39:33,663
I could have avoided it,
and I didn't do it.

597
00:39:36,666 --> 00:39:38,835
I would change my time

598
00:39:40,128 --> 00:39:43,214
for my son's freedom.

599
00:39:43,298 --> 00:39:45,967
If I could get in there
and he could leave,

600
00:39:46,050 --> 00:39:48,595
If I could spend the rest of my life there,

601
00:39:50,013 --> 00:39:53,224
I would do it without hesitation,
If he could get out.

602
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,564
We don't make home movies anymore.

603
00:40:00,398 --> 00:40:02,275
I don't look at photo albums.

604
00:40:03,484 --> 00:40:06,070
Because that life is no longer there.

605
00:40:09,699 --> 00:40:12,785
It's too much to go and see what you missed.

606
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,630
I started shouting:

607
00:40:24,255 --> 00:40:26,799
"I love my daughter."

608
00:40:29,844 --> 00:40:32,180
He said, "She's dead." I said, "No."

609
00:40:33,097 --> 00:40:35,683
It's still an open wound.

610
00:40:36,809 --> 00:40:39,520
I see Anna Stoddart's face very clearly.

611
00:40:39,604 --> 00:40:41,147
I see Cassie's face.

612
00:40:41,731 --> 00:40:43,733
I'll never forget one.

613
00:40:46,027 --> 00:40:51,783
Anna Stoddart passed away in 2022
after a battle with cancer.

614
00:40:55,787 --> 00:40:57,622
You wonder why we are here.

615
00:40:58,581 --> 00:41:00,833
It shouldn't, but here we are.

616
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,337
We will do our best,

617
00:41:04,420 --> 00:41:08,758
but it seems like a waste of so many lives

618
00:41:08,841 --> 00:41:10,635
on many levels.

619
00:41:15,139 --> 00:41:17,642
Torey and Brian took it

620
00:41:17,725 --> 00:41:20,436
a beautiful soul,

621
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,105
a beautiful person,

622
00:41:22,188 --> 00:41:26,734
with which no one
you can enjoy life.

623
00:41:28,111 --> 00:41:30,905
My heart aches for his family.

624
00:41:32,198 --> 00:41:36,202
They won't see her grow
nor start a family of their own.

625
00:41:37,537 --> 00:41:40,581
They took much more
then Cassie Jo Stoddart.

626
00:41:42,041 --> 00:41:44,919
They brought good luck
from Pocatello High School.

627
00:41:49,007 --> 00:41:52,218
I just want my own children...

628
00:41:56,014 --> 00:41:58,725
I always tell them
Let them choose their friends well.
