I remember it was a beautiful day. It was in the spring. I thought it was a little strange.

Even when I got out of my mom's car, something felt strange that they said something felt

right. And as soon as I got in the door, it was that knock. You know what? Do, do, do.

I had a lot of friends who were, you know, pranksters. I figured this is a joke or something.

I kind of walk outside. And one of the investigators tells the other one,

ah, he looks like a jack rapid, me on a handcuff him. That's when I realized, okay, this is not a joke.

I found my wife at midnight, so I've been up since about 7 a.m. that morning.

And they let me go five or six to next afternoon. So I've been up 30 some hours without sleep

under intense interrogation, trying to get me to confess.

I was on house arrest there for, I can't, I can't remember a while.

In my attorney would not let me take the stand. I'm like, I need to take the stand. I need to speak up for myself.

I don't have anything to hide. And he's like, no, you look angry. What do you mean I look angry?

Would you not be angry? Of course I'm angry.

There was a laundry list of charges that they offered the plea. At first, I didn't want the plea.

I was like, no, I'm not taking the plea. I was furious.

I think that it was voluntary manslaughter.

I got to the point where I felt like I was just about snap. I almost lose my mind.

Like a rubber band being stretched. Now I went out for parole after my 26 year.

And it gave me a date. It was like 30 years off.

So I was never going to see any freedom. They weren't going to release me.

And then later I heard about DNA technology. I said, DNA. What?

Some guys have gotten out based on DNA technology.
