  Speaker 9: I was going.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: In her courageous first interview with our Jason Mattera.
• 1:24
  Speaker 10: No one should go through what you want for.
• 1:27

• 1:31
  Speaker 11: I don't know how I got the idea to like

• 1:46
  Speaker 12: We'll find you again, we always do.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Crime Watch Daily, everyone, I'm Chris Hansen. We
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: start today with a fertility doctor accused of blind siding
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: his own patients investially in court documents, to using his
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: own sperm with his patients, not once or twice, but
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: as many as fifty times. Our Elizabeth Smartest here now
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: with our all new investigations, Elizabeth extra being here, Chris.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: I can't even imagine the horror of finding out that
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: the man you trusted was something so special as having
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: a baby was allegedly committing a horrible betrayal behind closed doors.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: This is a family reunion no one ever expected.
• 2:27
  Speaker 13: I used to beect my mom for a sister every
• 2:30
  Speaker 13: year for Christmas to give me a baby's sister, and
• 2:33
  Speaker 13: I hope.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Boy adults who only recently learned the shocking news they're related.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Their bond is written not in blood or love, but
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: in the laboratory.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: When did you find out that you were a donor baby?
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: Approximately a month ago.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: They all claim their donor babies sharing the sperm of
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: one man, their mother's fertility doctor.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I'm a rape victim, a virtual rape victim.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: That's a stunning accusation from Liz White. She's one of
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: several moms making the sensational claim that doctor Donald Klein
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: artificially inseminated them with his own sperm.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: It gives me creeps that when he left the room
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: after the initial coming in and putting on the drape,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: that he went out saying he was going to go
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: get the donor sperm, and then what occurred outside the
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: room that was disgusting.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't think a story like this could come out
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of America's heartland, Indianapolis, Indiana. Back in the early eighties,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: fertility science was still in its infancy, and in Indianapolis,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: doctor Klein was the expert. Liz says he was the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: only fertility specialist for miles around.
• 3:49
  Speaker 14: How did you find out about doctor Klein.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I worked at a hospital, and so obviously I worked
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: with a lot of physicians. He was the top in
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: fertility specialist in Indianapolis. I couldn't remember him sitting behind
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: his desk and he's looking at my husband and he says, Oh,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: you have dark hair, and you have dark eyes, and
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: you're about six foot Okay, I'll look for a donor
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: around that type. And he was very hopeful, and I
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: took his hope, his hope.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: And you went in for fifteen treatment.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Fifteen treatments, so that's five months, three times each month.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Liz says. Klein told her medical students would provide a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: fresh donation because frozen sperm was not an option.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: We were told that they were going to be residents
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: from interns at the hospital across the street, and that
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: our payment of cash or check was to protect the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: enemity of that person. I think if he said, well,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I'm going to donate my semen to you, I would
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: have been creeped out. I was twenty nine years old,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: but he had the expertise of being the very best
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: fertility physician in Indiana. He was the only one practic
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: sing with live Spurm.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: After several tries, Liz became pregnant.
• 5:05
  Speaker 14: How did you feel when you finally found out you
• 5:08
  Speaker 14: were pregnant?
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I was static.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Nine months later, Liz gave birth to a healthy baby
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: boy she named Matthew.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I just kept looking at Matt with just such joy
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: on my face. It was a blessing, and I named
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: him Matthew, which s gift of gods.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Fast forward fifteen years later, Matt is in high school
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: biology class learning about human genes. He says the real
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: lesson he learned would change his life forever.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: How did you.
• 5:35
  Speaker 14: First find out that your dad wasn't your biological father?
• 5:40
  Speaker 15: It was when I came home one day from school
• 5:43
  Speaker 15: from high school. We're in science class learning about Punnett
• 5:47
  Speaker 15: squares and probabilities of blood types. What my blood type
• 5:52
  Speaker 15: was based upon my parents, and so when I brought
• 5:56
  Speaker 15: that topic up to ask them what their blood types are,
• 6:00
  Speaker 15: that's when they told me.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: Was that shocking for you?
• 6:04
  Speaker 15: I just felt bad for my dad that he could
• 6:07
  Speaker 15: have kids. He has always been my dad, will always
• 6:10
  Speaker 15: be my dad.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Matt says he never tried to learn his biological father's identity.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Until he saw this news report on TV.
• 6:19
  Speaker 16: Sisters Born here in Indiana Uncover a family Secret.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: It was the explosive investigation into the claims about doctor
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Klein from our Indianapolis affiliate w x IM.
• 6:31
  Speaker 15: I immediately looked up where his office was. I remember
• 6:35
  Speaker 15: my mom and I drive him by saying, no, that's
• 6:38
  Speaker 15: the office building. And I got pregnant with you.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: And Matt says after watching that report, he did his
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: own DNA test. He sent it to the online testing
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: site twenty three in me dot com, so named for
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the twenty three chromosomes in a human cell.
• 6:52
  Speaker 15: And I went to the certain section to look at
• 6:55
  Speaker 15: the relatives and just having a whole laundry list of
• 6:58
  Speaker 15: half siblings, you know, kind of kind of shocking.
• 7:03
  Speaker 14: Do you remember how many siblings it said you have
• 7:05
  Speaker 14: or half siblings?
• 7:07
  Speaker 15: I think the total confirmed unconfirmed the cow is thirteen
• 7:11
  Speaker 15: right now.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Jacoba Ballard says she's one of Matt's half sisters. Like Matt,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Jacoba did her own DNA salavattached.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: What did they tell you?
• 7:23
  Speaker 17: The first set proved that there were I had seven siblings.
• 7:28
  Speaker 17: That's not counting my half sibling for my mom nor
• 7:31
  Speaker 17: doctor Klein's four children, which I didn't know at the time.
• 7:35
  Speaker 17: Some of my other siblings and I started researching because
• 7:39
  Speaker 17: we knew something, didn' nad up one. He had told
• 7:42
  Speaker 17: all of our mothers the same thing, that he is
• 7:44
  Speaker 17: a medical resident.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: When Jacoba's mom, Deborah read the results, she was floored.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: He's the father.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Yes, I do feel violighted. He was my doctor, and
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: you just don't do that to your patients. That's not
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: more right at all. It's not ethically right.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: And that's the sentiment from Julie Mains, another of doctor
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Klein's alleged daughters. She says she worries about the impact
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: on her own children.
• 8:13
  Speaker 14: Your greatest concern for them is that they might date,
• 8:16
  Speaker 14: or have relationships or even marry one of their first cousins.
• 8:21
  Speaker 13: If it comes to that point, I think I would
• 8:23
  Speaker 13: have to ask their parents personal questions, which is really
• 8:28
  Speaker 13: difficult regarding if they were artificially inseminated.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Julie did her own DNA test and says the results
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: showed Jacoba is her half sister.
• 8:39
  Speaker 13: When I clicked on DNA relatives and then an entire
• 8:44
  Speaker 13: page showed up of half siblings, says, wait a minute,
• 8:48
  Speaker 13: I only have one sibling and he's adopted. It was
• 8:51
  Speaker 13: very mind blowing and shocking, to say the least.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Julie reached out to Jacoba and says, it was almost
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: like looking at her self in the mirror.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: We look so much alike, and so it's kind of surreal.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Now that the family's secret is out. What can be
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: done next? The dramatic phone call that will change everything.
• 9:13
  Speaker 18: I only donated my own sample, maybe nine or ten times.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: The confession, the excuses, the accusation.
• 9:23
  Speaker 18: That sounds to me like you're trying to do harm
• 9:26
  Speaker 18: to me.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: And we confront the alleged fertility fraudster face to face.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Elizabeth Smart from Crimewatch Daily.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: It's supposed to be one of the most special moments
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: of a couple's life, but several Indiana women say their
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: visit to a fertility specialist ended in an absolute nightmare
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: when they found out that doctor used his own sperm
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: instead of a donor. Elizabeth Smart is back now with
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: their stories.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Elizabeth, as you would expect these women are. They feel
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: violated by the doctor they trusted. So I decided to
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: track him down and see what he has to say
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: to his alleged victims.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Doctor Donald Klein is the alleged fertility Frankenstein. He's the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: physician sensationally accused of using his own sperm as many
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: as fifty times in women who had no idea.
• 10:22
  Speaker 19: It's a violation of us, and I don't think he
• 10:25
  Speaker 19: realized that when he was using his sperm to impregnate us.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Until last month, Julie, Matt and Jacoba were total strangers.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: They could have run into one another on the street
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: at the store, or they may even have dated without
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: ever knowing they might share the same biological father, doctor
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Klein himself.
• 10:48
  Speaker 15: You know, I think one of the scariest things is
• 10:51
  Speaker 15: that the potential for unknown civilians to kind of hook up,
• 11:00
  Speaker 15: and you know, there are several of us that are
• 11:05
  Speaker 15: in relatively close proximity to one another and are generally
• 11:10
  Speaker 15: of the same age. That's pretty scary really if you
• 11:14
  Speaker 15: think about it.
• 11:15
  Speaker 13: And I don't want my kids to possibly marry one
• 11:19
  Speaker 13: of their first cousins or any of their distant relatives.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Julie's mom, Diana, says she's still coming to grips with
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the revelations.
• 11:30
  Speaker 19: We now know that he was the father of all
• 11:32
  Speaker 19: our babies, and I mean, that's It's just something that
• 11:38
  Speaker 19: it's hard to comprehend.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Matt reveals his deepest fear. He says, when he and
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: his wife had difficulty conceiving a child, they considered seeing
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: doctor Clyde. I thought that, he says, now creeps him out.
• 11:52
  Speaker 15: There is a very plausible possibility that we could have
• 11:57
  Speaker 15: gone and seen him as our fertility specialists.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: Your son was your half brother.
• 12:02
  Speaker 15: Yeah, that's that's recently crossed my mind.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: The secret might have died with a seventy seven year
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: old Doctor Klein wasn't for the hard hitting reporting by
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: our Indianapolis affiliate w XIM. In an investigation that spanned
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: more than a year and a half, Angela Ganotte uncovered
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: doctor Klein's alleged fraud first appearance in court today.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: Doctor Kline is accused of using his own sperm on
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: his patients.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: When that report aired, it apparently upset the grandfatherly fertility doc.
• 12:37
  Speaker 18: How this doctor Kline.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: This is the shocking phone call from doctor Kline to Jacoba.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: In this call, which she recorded, Cline admits he donated
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: his own sperm on several occasions.
• 12:50
  Speaker 18: You know, I thought I was doing the right thing.
• 12:54
  Speaker 18: I only donated my own sample maybe nine or ten times,
• 13:00
  Speaker 18: and it had to do with blood typing, and at
• 13:03
  Speaker 18: the time there was no sperm banks that I could
• 13:07
  Speaker 18: refer the couples too.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Coin then tells Jakoba his marriage is on thin eyes
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: and asks her to try to stop the TV station
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: from reporting the allegations.
• 13:19
  Speaker 18: My wife and I, after fifty seven years of marriage,
• 13:24
  Speaker 18: we have had a great deal of problems over this.
• 13:28
  Speaker 18: She considers this adultery. I donated my sample, not always
• 13:34
  Speaker 18: my wife. My marriage will be over. Can you help?
• 13:40
  Speaker 17: I mean, there's nothing I can do. I can't stop
• 13:43
  Speaker 17: them from doing you know anything that.
• 13:46
  Speaker 18: Sounds to me like you're trying to do harm to me.
• 13:49
  Speaker 9: I've not was shut up on anybody.
• 13:51
  Speaker 18: I regret what I did. Yeah, I can't go back
• 13:55
  Speaker 18: and change it. One of my favorite scriptures was Jeremiah,
• 14:01
  Speaker 18: if you'll remember it, say, just before I formed you
• 14:04
  Speaker 18: in your mother's room, I knew you.
• 14:06
  Speaker 14: The most disturbing thing about this whole message is how
• 14:11
  Speaker 14: he's trying to turn it back on you, trying to
• 14:14
  Speaker 14: make you feel guilty for it.
• 14:16
  Speaker 17: It makes me angry.
• 14:18
  Speaker 14: You know, when he brought up religion and was reading
• 14:24
  Speaker 14: the Bible verse to you, I really was taken aback
• 14:31
  Speaker 14: because what he was doing to you was exactly what
• 14:35
  Speaker 14: my captors did to me. I mean, anytime they wanted
• 14:38
  Speaker 14: to hurt me, anytime they wanted me to force me
• 14:41
  Speaker 14: to do anything, he would pull out the Bible.
• 14:44
  Speaker 17: I mean, because you can tell I tried to be nice.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: But for Jacoba, the time to be nice is over.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Jacoba shared the recording with prosecutors.
• 14:56
  Speaker 20: My ten years of practicing law, I definitely put it
• 14:58
  Speaker 20: in the top ten.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: According to the probable cause Affidavid Kline denied everything, telling
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: investigators I can emphatically say that at no time did
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I ever use my own sample for insemination, nor was
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I a donor. The state did an independent DNA test,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: which shows a ninety nine point probability he is Jacoba's
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: biological father. Prosecutors concluded Klein lied to investigators. He was
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: charged with two counts of obstruction of justice.
• 15:31
  Speaker 20: He denied that he was the father, when in fact
• 15:34
  Speaker 20: he was. We think that this sends a clear message
• 15:37
  Speaker 20: that you don't lie when you're confronted with an official investigation.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: We wanted to get doctor kline side of the story,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: so Elizabeth tracked him down at his home I'm on my.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: Way up to doctor Kleink's house to ask him some questions.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Klin is retired and lives in seclusion in an estate
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: at the end of this long driveway.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Elizabeth Smart from Crime Watch Daily.
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: Hi, I'm Elizabeth Smart.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: I'm from Crime Watch Daily.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: I have the opportunity to speak to a couple of
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: your children, and I heard their side the store, and.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: I wondered if you wanted to share.
• 16:13
  Speaker 18: Oh, thank you, You'll have to speak to my attorney.
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: Oh, we try to reach out to her.
• 16:18
  Speaker 18: She wouldn't respond, Well, I can't do that.
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: Don't you at least want to share a little bit. No, ma'am,
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: don't you don't feel like you're in a fall man.
• 16:26
  Speaker 11: I just wanted to give you an opportunity to share
• 16:27
  Speaker 11: your side.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Kleine has pleaded not guilty to the charges. He reportedly
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: has asked God for forgiveness. But for this half brother
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: and his half sister, forgetting is something that isn't in
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: their DNA.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: What would you like to say to doctor Kline?
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: Doctor Cline, tell the truth. Just tell the truth, DNA,
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: don't lie.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: And since that interview, Elizabeth, I know that more people
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: have come forward claiming doctor Climb is their father.
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Chris, it's staggering.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: The count is up to sixteen now, but it seems
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: more and more people are coming forward every day.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: In beside the obstruction of justice charges, it seems their
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: civil liability here.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: The families are saying that they want to wait until
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: the current legal case is over before pursuing any civil cases.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: Elizabeth, thanks for joining us as always, I appreciate it.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: And what about that criminal case against doctor Klein and
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: will he ever serve any time behind bars? We bring
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the legal fight to the streets of New York next
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: tomorrow on Crime Watch Daily, Love and Violence.
• 17:36
  Speaker 17: Bye bye.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Tricia Todd and her Air Force veteran husband had a
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: rocky relationship, that's for sure, but things appeared to be
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: headed in the right direction until she suddenly vanished. Where
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: did she go? We couldn't come up with any answers
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: or Jason Matera has new details on the shocking case.
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: Teeth, fingertips, power saws, and a plastic tub filled with acid.
• 17:59
  Speaker 20: This I went to the extreme ends of the earth
• 18:03
  Speaker 20: to do the most violent thing he could do.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: And how Trisha's own words would help detectives find her killer.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: That's come on today, we've been talking about an Indiana
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: fertility specialist accused of using his own sperm as many
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: as fifty times with his patients. No doubt, it's truly
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: discussing what doctor Klein is accused of. But will he
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: serve any time for it? Here to break down the
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: case his criminal defense attorney, Mike Cavaluzzi, Mike, thanks for
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: being here. I appreciate it very much to me. How
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: do you defend his games?
• 18:30
  Speaker 21: First of all, it's a question of timing back when
• 18:32
  Speaker 21: the doctor is accused of having inseminated his patients this way.
• 18:36
  Speaker 21: It actually was very common and there was nothing known
• 18:38
  Speaker 21: as design or sperm where women were actually choosing the
• 18:42
  Speaker 21: profile of the person whom you're.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Saying this was a common practice.
• 18:46
  Speaker 21: This was a common practice in those days. Regulations have
• 18:49
  Speaker 21: changed and become far stricter. If a doctor were to
• 18:52
  Speaker 21: do something just like doctor Klein did now they would
• 18:56
  Speaker 21: face absolutely criminal charges.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: What about civil liability? Would one of the children or
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: one of the mothers sue him?
• 19:04
  Speaker 21: Highly highly unlikely? Clearly the women purchase something that they
• 19:08
  Speaker 21: weren't really getting. However, they would have to show that
• 19:11
  Speaker 21: they were damaged by this behavior and it doesn't appear
• 19:14
  Speaker 21: that they were.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Ultimately, what do you think happens in this pas?
• 19:18
  Speaker 21: Ultimately the doctor stays out of jail. He pleads to
• 19:22
  Speaker 21: some sort of low level offense and gets probation.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Mike, thank you very much for inside. I appreciate you
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: being here today. We'll be sure to follow the story
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: as it moves forward. You can go to Crimewatch Daily
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: dot com for updates. Also coming up in eight year
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: old terrorized by a monster and left for dead.
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: Her little body was buried under two hundred pounds of concrete.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Now, Michelle Nance tells your terrifying story of survival publicly
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: for the first time.
• 19:49
  Speaker 11: I remember screaming like bite him, but it was like that,
• 19:52
  Speaker 11: kind of like lost hope.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: That's next. They are two signs of one horrible crime.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: There's a monster with murder on his mind and then
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: a young victim with an unstoppable will to live. Our
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Jason Mattera just interviewed the so called miracle Girl.
• 20:11
  Speaker 12: A senseless crime, cruelty beyond belief. He put her here
• 20:17
  Speaker 12: first so she wouldn't be able to get out, lives
• 20:21
  Speaker 12: torn apart.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: I couldn't face knowing that I let this happen.
• 20:26
  Speaker 12: You know, this monster terrorized an innocent eight year old
• 20:31
  Speaker 12: and it was her family that invited him in to be.
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: That malevolent He deserves worse, much worse.
• 20:42
  Speaker 12: But there is someone speaking out and standing up to him.
• 20:46
  Speaker 12: The little girl he left to die. Now she's all
• 20:52
  Speaker 12: grown up and for the very first time telling only
• 20:55
  Speaker 12: Crime Watch Daily her story of inconceivable terror and unbelievable courage.
• 21:02
  Speaker 11: Like I kind of like lost hope because I no
• 21:06
  Speaker 11: one can't hear me.
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: Be sorry.
• 21:11
  Speaker 12: This adorable child is Lachelle Nance. Precocious, whip smart, with
• 21:16
  Speaker 12: a photographic memory.
• 21:18
  Speaker 22: She had a great mind. She could remember anything. If
• 21:20
  Speaker 22: she saw someone, if she's one time, if she saw
• 21:23
  Speaker 22: him again, she knew who they were. She knew him
• 21:25
  Speaker 22: by their name.
• 21:27
  Speaker 12: But loved not just by her mom, but her godmother too.
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: Whatever she needed, I was there. Whatever she wanted from me,
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: I had to give them.
• 21:37
  Speaker 12: Michelle and Lisa are best friends. With their kids, they
• 21:40
  Speaker 12: form a tight knit family in Lakeworth, Florida, and in
• 21:44
  Speaker 12: the spring of two thousand and four, that family would grow.
• 21:48
  Speaker 12: His name is Malogro Cunningham, a teenager from the Bahamas,
• 21:52
  Speaker 12: shuffled from home to home Lisa takes pity on Milagro
• 21:56
  Speaker 12: and invites him into her house with open.
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: Arms, just like he was family.
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: It's our nature.
• 22:03
  Speaker 22: We did bring him some clothes and shoes that we
• 22:06
  Speaker 22: had from my boyfriend that he wasn't using anymore, because
• 22:10
  Speaker 22: he really didn't have anything.
• 22:12
  Speaker 12: Malon girl soon blends right in.
• 22:14
  Speaker 22: He was a regular kid. He played games on the TV,
• 22:17
  Speaker 22: played with the other kids, went out with them.
• 22:21
  Speaker 12: No one knew there was a monster hiding within. It's
• 22:29
  Speaker 12: a typical Saturday night for Lachelle, a sleepover at her godmother's.
• 22:33
  Speaker 12: Lachelle shares a bed with Lisa's one year old grandson.
• 22:38
  Speaker 12: The house is quiet until just after midnight, when a
• 22:41
  Speaker 12: new day of terror begins.
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: About one o'clock that morning, my middle daughter, Danielle came
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: in and she told me that she didn't see Lachelle.
• 22:56
  Speaker 12: They searched the house, Lachelle's shoes sitting neatly by the
• 22:58
  Speaker 12: front door, but no, it was shell we used to
• 23:01
  Speaker 12: cause the little girl's mom in a panic.
• 23:04
  Speaker 22: She initially asked me did I pick her up? And
• 23:06
  Speaker 22: I told her no. She said, well, we can't find her,
• 23:11
  Speaker 22: and I told him on my way.
• 23:14
  Speaker 12: The show is nowhere to be found. Police arrived to assist.
• 23:20
  Speaker 12: That's when molam girl tells Lisa and Michelle an incredible story.
• 23:24
  Speaker 12: He was awakened by a white man abducting a shell
• 23:27
  Speaker 12: from her bedroom.
• 23:28
  Speaker 23: And he's telling us this story about how he was
• 23:33
  Speaker 23: in the living room and someone burst inside my house
• 23:38
  Speaker 23: and they had taken her out of the house.
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: Something just wasn't right.
• 23:42
  Speaker 22: He described the car station wagon with a den in it,
• 23:46
  Speaker 22: which was exactly the car that was parked in the driveway,
• 23:49
  Speaker 22: and he said some guys took her and he tried
• 23:52
  Speaker 22: to chase some He ran almost maybe eight blocks behind
• 23:56
  Speaker 22: the car. It just didn't make sense.
• 24:00
  Speaker 12: In his statement to police, Molagro says when he catches
• 24:02
  Speaker 12: up to the station wagon, the white man jumps him.
• 24:06
  Speaker 12: Three other white males joined in the attack, he tells officers,
• 24:09
  Speaker 12: knocking him to the ground, kicking and punching him in
• 24:13
  Speaker 12: a beatdown that lasted approximately twenty minutes. The story is
• 24:17
  Speaker 12: far fetched. Investigator Mike Driscoll says he wasn't buying it.
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: He may have had a torn shirt, but he hadn't
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: really sustained any injuries.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: From the beating.
• 24:28
  Speaker 12: So this guy says he was beat up up to
• 24:30
  Speaker 12: four individuals, and yet he had no physical marketings showing
• 24:33
  Speaker 12: that correct.
• 24:34
  Speaker 10: So right there, it's a red flag.
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: It's a big red flag.
• 24:37
  Speaker 12: One thing police are sure of, the shell is missing.
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: There were dozens of law enforcement personnel that searched the
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: area full of shell.
• 24:47
  Speaker 12: Officers, canvas in the neighborhood, searching parks, a local cemetery,
• 24:51
  Speaker 12: every square foot around Lisa's house, including this landfill just
• 24:56
  Speaker 12: blocks from where Lachelle was taken.
• 24:58
  Speaker 24: It's just an area where a lot of bad things
• 25:01
  Speaker 24: tend to happen sometimes. If she was going to be somewhere,
• 25:04
  Speaker 24: it was probably going to be in the landfill.
• 25:06
  Speaker 12: Sergeant Michael holland his partner scanned the landfill's access road,
• 25:10
  Speaker 12: unsure of what they'd find.
• 25:12
  Speaker 24: As we start driving through the access road, one of
• 25:14
  Speaker 24: the first things we see is a pair of underwear
• 25:17
  Speaker 24: laying on the road A couple feet away from that.
• 25:20
  Speaker 24: I believe it was a pair of shorts, And at
• 25:23
  Speaker 24: that point, I think we both realize that she's going
• 25:26
  Speaker 24: to be in here.
• 25:27
  Speaker 12: Somewhere to the right of the road two large construction dumpsters.
• 25:32
  Speaker 24: Inside the dumpster was just a lone recycling bin on wheels.
• 25:36
  Speaker 24: I kind of open the lid and observed large pieces
• 25:40
  Speaker 24: of broken concrete in the bin.
• 25:42
  Speaker 12: Stuffed beneath the concrete A heartbreaking site.
• 25:46
  Speaker 24: And as I'm looking closer into the bin, I see
• 25:49
  Speaker 24: a hand and a foot.
• 25:52
  Speaker 12: It's let's shout. The sergeant's heart sinks.
• 25:56
  Speaker 24: I didn't get on the radio. I notify the command
• 25:58
  Speaker 24: post fact we found her. It did not look good.
• 26:05
  Speaker 24: I did not think she was alive.
• 26:07
  Speaker 12: At Lisa's house, the family gets awful news that Lachelle's
• 26:11
  Speaker 12: body had been found.
• 26:20
  Speaker 22: He put her head first so she wouldn't be able
• 26:23
  Speaker 22: to get out, and he put concrete on the top
• 26:27
  Speaker 22: of her.
• 26:29
  Speaker 17: Didn't he left her.
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: He left her there to day.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: First action was I passed out. I couldn't face, you know,
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: be right there and knowing that I let this happen,
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: you know.
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: And Wing got word that the dead body was found
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: in the lake Worth landfill, so we immediately responded to
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: that location.
• 27:06
  Speaker 12: As officers secure the crime scene, the story takes a
• 27:10
  Speaker 12: shocking twist.
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: It was faint, but it was something you just wouldn't miss. Next,
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: she was upside down in a fetal position.
• 27:20
  Speaker 12: A sick crime uncovered.
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: You know, just throw somebody away like that, and I.
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: Just stopped crying. I just stopped moving.
• 27:28
  Speaker 12: A young girl recalls a knight of terror in the
• 27:32
  Speaker 12: hands of a monster.
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: I just thought I was going to die.
• 27:37
  Speaker 12: Lashon Nance has gone missing in the dead of night,
• 27:40
  Speaker 12: her mother losing hope by the minute. Where's my child?
• 27:44
  Speaker 22: What happened to her?
• 27:46
  Speaker 12: The young man who lived with Lachelle's godmother says he
• 27:49
  Speaker 12: was beaten up by the little girl's abductors when he
• 27:51
  Speaker 12: tried to save her. Did you believe Moula gerl story?
• 27:55
  Speaker 9: At first?
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: We did, but then there were holes in it. Something
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: just was right.
• 28:01
  Speaker 12: Eight hours later, the story takes a terrifying turn.
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: Police found eight year old Lachelle Nance here at this landfill.
• 28:08
  Speaker 12: She was stuffed in a recycling bit. She was thrown
• 28:11
  Speaker 12: in a dumpster like trash. Her little body.
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: Was buried under two hundred pounds of concrete.
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: She was upside down in a fetal position, chunks of
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: concrete on top of her. I mean heavy chunks, like
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: some of them weighed as much as thirty pounds.
• 28:27
  Speaker 12: Officers begin the grim task of recovering Lechelle's body, but
• 28:32
  Speaker 12: nothing prepares them for what happens next.
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: When we looked in, Lieutenant Matthew said, I just saw
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: a finger move, so instantly we jumped into the dumpster
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: and began removing large chunks of concrete off of her.
• 28:49
  Speaker 10: How close was she to death?
• 28:51
  Speaker 24: I heard the doctor said she was within ten to
• 28:53
  Speaker 24: twenty minutes of all her internal organs shutting down ten
• 28:57
  Speaker 24: to twenty minutes. Amazing.
• 29:02
  Speaker 12: The selle barely clings to life, but the weekend eight
• 29:05
  Speaker 12: year old still gathers the strength to whisper the name
• 29:08
  Speaker 12: of the man who tried to kill.
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: Her with mulagro. He did he did it.
• 29:15
  Speaker 12: This is Michelle Nance today, twelve years older, and after
• 29:18
  Speaker 12: a long physical rehabilitation, back on her feet, she's finally
• 29:22
  Speaker 12: able to tell her whole terrifying story publicly for the
• 29:26
  Speaker 12: first time. We want to warn you it's graphic and disturbing.
• 29:30
  Speaker 10: So I know this is going to be really difficult
• 29:33
  Speaker 10: for you, because no one, let alone an eight year
• 29:37
  Speaker 10: old girl, should go through what you went through. But
• 29:40
  Speaker 10: if you can take me back to that early morning
• 29:43
  Speaker 10: when you were in bed.
• 29:44
  Speaker 11: I remember waking up to like someone touching me. So
• 29:48
  Speaker 11: I woke up and it was malagro.
• 29:51
  Speaker 12: Mulagrel Cunningham, the same guy Lachelle's family took in off
• 29:55
  Speaker 12: the streets. Now Concox the story to lure Lachelle outside.
• 29:59
  Speaker 12: We're evil waits.
• 30:01
  Speaker 11: So I get up and I had no shoes, Like
• 30:05
  Speaker 11: I don't know shoes. I just had a nic clothes.
• 30:07
  Speaker 9: I slept in.
• 30:09
  Speaker 12: As soon as the Shell is out of the house,
• 30:11
  Speaker 12: Malagro attacks and that's.
• 30:13
  Speaker 11: When he grabbed me and shut the door, and he
• 30:16
  Speaker 11: was saying, for scream, i'm'a hurt you.
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: I'm'a for scream, i'm'a hurt you.
• 30:19
  Speaker 11: And he was like walking me towards He walked me
• 30:21
  Speaker 11: over to the landfill.
• 30:23
  Speaker 12: There are a few blocks from the house. The Shell says,
• 30:26
  Speaker 12: the real nightmare begins. Molager slams her to the ground,
• 30:30
  Speaker 12: punching her senseless, then viciously rapes her.
• 30:35
  Speaker 9: I remember screaming, like fighting, but it was like I
• 30:39
  Speaker 9: was so little. So it got to the point where.
• 30:41
  Speaker 11: Like like I kind of like lost hope cause like
• 30:47
  Speaker 11: I thought, you know, no one can't hear me.
• 30:50
  Speaker 9: Oh no, I just I just stopped crying, just stopped moving.
• 30:53
  Speaker 9: I just laid there because oh no, I.
• 30:58
  Speaker 11: Thought I didn't think no one, but would hear me,
• 31:01
  Speaker 11: so I didn't sorry, and that's when like he grabbed
• 31:12
  Speaker 11: me and start choking me.
• 31:14
  Speaker 12: Lachell is no match from Malagro's brute strength, so she
• 31:18
  Speaker 12: takes a gamble and plays dead when.
• 31:21
  Speaker 11: He's choking me. I don't know how I got the
• 31:23
  Speaker 11: idea to like fake my death. So I just like.
• 31:25
  Speaker 9: When he threw me down on the ground the.
• 31:27
  Speaker 11: Last time, I just held my breath and when he
• 31:31
  Speaker 11: called out to me, like I just didn't make any movement.
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: I just laid there with my eyes closed.
• 31:35
  Speaker 12: Then Lachelle says, Milagro tries to permanently cover up his crime.
• 31:40
  Speaker 11: And then he finally grabbed me. He threw me over
• 31:42
  Speaker 11: his shoulder and he walked further down. We got to
• 31:46
  Speaker 11: like I guess, one of the dumpsters, and he threw
• 31:48
  Speaker 11: me inside the dumpster. Then he closed it, and I
• 31:50
  Speaker 11: remember him rolling a dumpster, and I guess that's when
• 31:53
  Speaker 11: he got near the rocks, so he put the the cement,
• 31:57
  Speaker 11: you know, on top of me, and it was like I.
• 32:00
  Speaker 9: Didn't really understand it, like at first.
• 32:03
  Speaker 11: But as I got older, it's just like how such
• 32:08
  Speaker 11: an evil person he was, because like as he was
• 32:11
  Speaker 11: throwing the rocks on top of me. He would say sorry, sorry,
• 32:15
  Speaker 11: and laughing after each rock, like sorry is just laughing?
• 32:18
  Speaker 11: Throw him on top of me. I really thought I
• 32:21
  Speaker 11: was gonna die. I really thought I was gonna die.
• 32:25
  Speaker 12: Trapped under cement coast to four times her weight, the
• 32:28
  Speaker 12: little eight year old girl can't move. All she can
• 32:31
  Speaker 12: do is lay there for eight agonizing hours. Then, just
• 32:35
  Speaker 12: as she feels her life slipping away, Lachelle hears faint voices.
• 32:40
  Speaker 9: I kind of thought it.
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: Was a dream.
• 32:42
  Speaker 9: I just remember the office was pulling the rock, the
• 32:44
  Speaker 9: rocks off of me.
• 32:46
  Speaker 11: And I think one was crying. I'm not really sure
• 32:49
  Speaker 11: which one it was, but one of them was crying.
• 32:51
  Speaker 9: I remember that.
• 32:52
  Speaker 12: Four years after he brutalized Lachelle malar girl, Cunningham goes
• 32:56
  Speaker 12: on trial and Lahou's mom is there to make sure
• 32:59
  Speaker 12: he pays, one way or another for what he did
• 33:02
  Speaker 12: to her daughter.
• 33:04
  Speaker 22: I wanted to hurt him. I wanted to hurt him.
• 33:07
  Speaker 22: He's sitting there, he's got this smile on his face,
• 33:10
  Speaker 22: his smurting, and you just want to get up and
• 33:12
  Speaker 22: beat the hell out of him, but you know they're
• 33:15
  Speaker 22: not going to let you.
• 33:17
  Speaker 12: It was very difficult, very Mulongro's lawyers claim he has
• 33:22
  Speaker 12: the mentality of a seven year old and didn't know
• 33:24
  Speaker 12: right from wrong.
• 33:26
  Speaker 22: He knew, I knew if you take the time to
• 33:30
  Speaker 22: put rock after rock after rock is almost two hundred
• 33:35
  Speaker 22: pounds of concrete on top of her.
• 33:38
  Speaker 12: Jurors agree and reject his insanity defense. In two thousand
• 33:41
  Speaker 12: and nine, he sentenced to four life terms in prison,
• 33:45
  Speaker 12: but just a year later, the US Supreme Court gives
• 33:49
  Speaker 12: the mercy he never showed a shell. A twenty ten
• 33:52
  Speaker 12: ruing throws out life terms for juveniles for crimes other
• 33:56
  Speaker 12: than murder. At the time of Malagro's vicious attack, he
• 34:00
  Speaker 12: was seventeen ten months shy of being an adult.
• 34:03
  Speaker 24: You mean to tell me you don't have the mental
• 34:05
  Speaker 24: capacity to know right from wrong. I I think it
• 34:09
  Speaker 24: is a horrible decision. I I think he should spend
• 34:12
  Speaker 24: the rest of his life in jail.
• 34:14
  Speaker 12: Molagro's public defender asked the judge to reduce the sentence further,
• 34:18
  Speaker 12: citing his serious heart and kidney problems. The show designs
• 34:22
  Speaker 12: enough is enough.
• 34:24
  Speaker 11: Listen to them like make excuses like for what he did,
• 34:27
  Speaker 11: like kind of like got me mad.
• 34:29
  Speaker 9: So I was like, I just have to like just
• 34:31
  Speaker 9: stand up for myself because like what he did was
• 34:33
  Speaker 9: not right.
• 34:34
  Speaker 12: She testifies that Molagro's hearing bringing the fight to him.
• 34:41
  Speaker 10: What was it like to see him at the re
• 34:43
  Speaker 10: sentencing hearing any signs of remorse?
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: No?
• 34:49
  Speaker 9: Like no, like none. He just sat there like he
• 34:52
  Speaker 9: just here because he had to show up.
• 34:55
  Speaker 12: Judge Charles Burn ultimately reduces milagro sentence to fifty years.
• 35:00
  Speaker 12: May turn out to be a life sentence.
• 35:02
  Speaker 22: After all, he's on dialysis. He had to have a
• 35:05
  Speaker 22: pacemaker put in. He was twenty seven years old. It's Calmle.
• 35:12
  Speaker 22: That's calmle.
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: There is a possibility he could get out someday. That
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: possibility exists, but I feel confident that he'll probably die
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: in prison.
• 35:22
  Speaker 12: As for the Shell, she's now taking her recovery many
• 35:25
  Speaker 12: steps further, starting a nonprofit called Many Girls Like Us
• 35:30
  Speaker 12: to help other victims of assault with a lot.
• 35:33
  Speaker 11: Of girls, Like a lot of them have my phone number, like,
• 35:37
  Speaker 11: you know, texting him, talking to them when they're going
• 35:39
  Speaker 11: through like you know, hard times, Like a lot of
• 35:41
  Speaker 11: kids like getting open up to anybody and just to
• 35:44
  Speaker 11: like know that they feel comfortable enough to confide in me.
• 35:47
  Speaker 9: It's like, it's really good.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: It's absolutely outrageous that this brave young woman would have
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: to relive this nightmare three times in court, and believe
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: it or not, it may not be the last time.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Under the new State on Florida, cunningham sentence will be
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: reviewed again in eleven years still to come wrongly convicted
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: in racing against time.
• 36:10
  Speaker 25: I'm thinking I'm in prison, he's going to die, and
• 36:13
  Speaker 25: I'm not going to spend any time with.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: One man's fight to get out of jail before his
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: father loses his battle with cancer. Coming up, one hundred
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: and forty nine, that's how many people were exonerated last year,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: freed after serving time for crimes they didn't commit. A
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: record that could be broken this year. Our nurissinit is
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: here now with the story of an Illinois man who
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: wasn't sure he would ever taste freedom again.
• 36:39
  Speaker 16: Chris, how many times have we heard an inmates say
• 36:41
  Speaker 16: they're innocent, they've got the wrong guy. Well, in the
• 36:44
  Speaker 16: case of Norman Mackintosh, that's exactly what he said for
• 36:47
  Speaker 16: fifteen years until finally finding himself in an agonizing race
• 36:53
  Speaker 16: against time to prove his innocence before his ailing father died.
• 36:58
  Speaker 25: Now I'm thinking there isn't and he's gonna die, and
• 37:01
  Speaker 25: I'm not gonna spend any time with him.
• 37:04
  Speaker 26: Norman was just twenty three when he was charged with
• 37:07
  Speaker 26: this grizzly murder, shooting dead a gang rival and wounding
• 37:11
  Speaker 26: another on the South Side of Chicago.
• 37:14
  Speaker 25: They said that they supposed to rob me earlier in
• 37:16
  Speaker 25: the day and that was retaliation for it.
• 37:18
  Speaker 26: Norman insisted from the beginning police had the wrong man,
• 37:22
  Speaker 26: and even provided them with an alibi.
• 37:25
  Speaker 25: Early that morning, I checked him to a hospital and
• 37:29
  Speaker 25: got treated for illness. Was at my girlfriend's house for
• 37:32
  Speaker 25: the rest of the day.
• 37:34
  Speaker 26: But Norman would be wrongfully convicted of first degree murder
• 37:38
  Speaker 26: and other charges and sentenced to forty five years in prison.
• 37:42
  Speaker 25: And I just couldn't believe that it happened, knowing that
• 37:45
  Speaker 25: I didn't commit a crime.
• 37:47
  Speaker 14: Did you know that one day you would be free?
• 37:49
  Speaker 25: At some points, I felt like I'll be free one day,
• 37:53
  Speaker 25: and at some point I felt like I'd never get out.
• 37:58
  Speaker 26: Then, after more than a decade behind bars, the victim's
• 38:01
  Speaker 26: brother recanted evidence that had helped convict Norman, seeing cops
• 38:06
  Speaker 26: that coerced him into misidentifying Norman in a police lineup.
• 38:10
  Speaker 27: The police said, look, if you don't testify and if
• 38:12
  Speaker 27: you don't say it's him, we're going to put your
• 38:14
  Speaker 27: brother's murder on you.
• 38:16
  Speaker 26: With that, Norman's dying dad hired Jennifer Blagg, an attorney
• 38:19
  Speaker 26: who specializes in wrongful conviction cases, and she tracked down
• 38:24
  Speaker 26: other witnesses who had also falsely identified Norman in a lineup.
• 38:29
  Speaker 27: I found the two twelve year olds. They both recanted
• 38:32
  Speaker 27: and told me the same story.
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: I was like, did Norman do it?
• 38:34
  Speaker 9: They're like, I don't know who did it.
• 38:35
  Speaker 27: But James told us who to pick, and he said,
• 38:37
  Speaker 27: pick the guy in the red shirt.
• 38:40
  Speaker 26: But at the same time, Norman got news that his father,
• 38:43
  Speaker 26: Norman Senior, had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and had
• 38:47
  Speaker 26: only months to live.
• 38:49
  Speaker 25: As you sitting in a sale thinking about it, I'm
• 38:52
  Speaker 25: not going to get a call tomorrow. Days passed away.
• 38:56
  Speaker 26: His dad stood by him and believed in Norman's innocence
• 39:00
  Speaker 26: from day one.
• 39:01
  Speaker 25: He's been there from the moment I was arrested till now.
• 39:06
  Speaker 26: And Norman's hope of being freed and seeing his father
• 39:09
  Speaker 26: again jumped when Jennifer tracked down that alternate suspect, linking
• 39:14
  Speaker 26: his fingerprints and car to the crime scene.
• 39:17
  Speaker 27: I was actually able to refute all the evidence entered
• 39:21
  Speaker 27: against Norman at trial, point to an alternate suspect, and
• 39:25
  Speaker 27: practically prove it was the alternate suspect.
• 39:30
  Speaker 26: And just last month, Norman McIntosh walked out of prison
• 39:37
  Speaker 26: into the waiting arms of his overjoyed family.
• 39:40
  Speaker 25: You don't think it's true. You're just hoping that that
• 39:46
  Speaker 25: is really happening. It's unbelievable, and until you out and
• 39:50
  Speaker 25: away from the prison, then you started believing, Okay, I'm
• 39:53
  Speaker 25: really out.
• 39:54
  Speaker 26: Now Norman at last got to hug his fourteen year
• 39:58
  Speaker 26: old son, Hassan, who was born just months after Norman
• 40:02
  Speaker 26: was locked up.
• 40:03
  Speaker 25: I could touch him back without being in prison.
• 40:10
  Speaker 26: And he would have a tearful reunion with his ailing dad,
• 40:14
  Speaker 26: Norman Senior.
• 40:15
  Speaker 25: I wasn't supposed to be here, but but I am.
• 40:20
  Speaker 26: Norman Senior would die just weeks later, peaceful and content
• 40:25
  Speaker 26: after seeing his son finally free.
• 40:29
  Speaker 25: I think he held on as long as he did
• 40:31
  Speaker 25: just so he could see me home.
