In the aftermath of McKay Everett's murder, McKay's father Carl was devastated.

Carl Everett has since passed away, but here's his friend John Husbands.

Lots of people could kill somebody to protect their child, but after the fact, for revenge,

I think there's a lot of people that would do that.

Honestly, if you just approach yourself honestly, there's some people that would chicken out,

there's some people that couldn't do it, there's some people that could do it and Carl wasn't chicken he had guns and

knives and everything it was almost ridiculous to have walked around armed for

He was, he was, he was messed up for a while.

County, Texas indicted Hilton Crawford for capital murder.

I'll never forget, after Hilton was arraigned Carl followed him back from

the courthouse back to the jail. Carl called me and he said Paulette I am following a police car and Hillcombe Croffards in the back of it.

And he said, I have my pistol pulled.

And he said, I want to shoot him.

And I thought, well, I don't blame you. I wanted to snuck them out. I make no bones about that. I wanted to hurt somebody.

And I said, you know, Carl was crazy a world as we live in. I said, you know Carl was crazy a world as we live in I said that probably puts you right in the

I think he had his opportunity.

I don't think he missed his opportunity. I think he had his opportunity and didn't take it.
