Hey.

0:30.0

Hello, everybody and welcome back to Truth and Justice. This is your Friday

0:50.3

follow-up episode for not really the CrimeCon episode. So this week's main

0:54.8

episode of course was CrimeCon, the live from CrimeCon taping, but there

0:58.7

weren't a whole lot of questions from that. I mean, it was a Q&A session to begin with,

1:01.7

but we decided to go ahead and still do a Friday follow-up episode this week

1:45.0

his part in order to make Damien and Jason pay for what they had done, he would

1:48.6

have testified against them. Is there a logical explanation for why this

1:52.2

happened or why this wasn't a red flag for jurors? I know the jury found out

1:56.4

about Jesse's confession when they weren't supposed to, so didn't they wonder

1:59.7

why a person who already confessed did not testify at the trial they

2:02.7

observed? Well, I don't know that I mean, I can't pretend to know what the

2:07.3

jurors were thinking or you know, if they thought that that thoroughly into it.
