A good person.

Pretty much would give you the shirt off my back.

Never met a stranger.

Tell me about your relationship with Zara. We hit it off right from the bat.

What did you like about Zara?

She had spunk about her. She never gave up. I always had a smile on her face.

Always.

Did you have a close bond?

Very close. She called me mom and I treated her like she was my own child. She got no different treatment than my other kids

did. Actually my other kids got jealous of her. They said I treated her better.

Why would a school teacher give her her own personal cell number and say to her,

if you ever need me, call me?

That right there was out of protocol.

I even said something to the principal about that.

Me and Adam went because that was against the rules. They should not have ever done that.

Why did you sign a piece of paper here that admitted that you have a history and a pattern of physical verbal and psychological abuse of Zara.

I never signed that paper. You did? There's your signature.

That's not your signature.
