| 0:00.0 | Please be advised this story contains adult content and graphic language. As Daniel Wozniak's defense attorney, you've said you feel you didn't receive a fair trial in Wozniak's case. |
| 0:22.0 | Can you give us an example of what you consider an unfair ruling that |
| 0:27.0 | prevented evidence from being introduced? |
| 0:29.2 | Well, you know, one of the examples certainly is the Samher evidence. |
| 0:34.0 | Sammer having killed somebody in his past. Welcome to Sleuth everyone. I'm Linda Sawyer. We're here with Scott Sanders, Daniel Wozniac's defense attorney. The trial began |
| 0:56.3 | in late December of 2015, correct? Right. And then went into the penalty phase early January ended mid-January would you say of 2016. |
