0:00.0 | So John John's death was an accident, a tragedy born out of a few seconds of fear and confusion |
0:10.3 | in a meth lab, that's what Laurie Ants has been told, not only by a press conference |
0:15.0 | on TV, but also by Scott County's chief detective, Robbie Carson. |
0:19.5 | Eventually, he'll draft a six-page report laying out exactly what he thinks happened, |
