  Speaker 3: you inspires us, it angers us, it gives us the
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: energy to keep going. So please tell me what happened,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: starting with the moment you learned something very horrible had occurred.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Well, obviously, you know may third changed our lives for
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: the rest of our lives. But one thing everybody has
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: to make I want to make something perfectly clear, and
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: we found this out a couple of weeks ago. My
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: beautiful daughter wasn't murdered in her sleep, Okay. When he
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: entered the room, she woke and approached him, and he
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: made her get on her knees. Naked with her hands
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: up in front of her, stuck a shotgun in her
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: left cage under her breast, and pulled the trigger, levi
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: an itch half whole in her chest. That's what happened,
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: was a premeditated execution. The day we found out that
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: changed everything, May third was a horrible day. But at
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: the end of the day, what we're finding out and
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: realizing now makes it traumatically worse.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: How many of y'all have kids, I'm just curious. Here's
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: what I need you to do when I tell you
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: this story. Think about your kids. Think about your child
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: coming home from a night out with their friends, laying down,
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: going to sleep, feeling somebody come in the room and
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: wake them and drag her out of bed, naked, forced
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: on her knees with her hands over her head, begging
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: for her life, begging for her hero, her father me,
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: that couldn't be there. She was five foot three, she
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: weighed one hundred and fifteen pound. Bang dead gone. Why
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: because Alexander Devonte Dickey, who was arrested thirty nine times
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: twenty five felonies, was on the street. How about that?
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: How good are we doing for our family? How good
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: are you doing for your kids. He should have been
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: in jail for over one hundred and forty years for
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: all the crimes he committed. You know how much time
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: he's spent in prison, a little over six hundred days
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: in ten years. He's only thirty years old. He was
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: committing two point sixty five crimes a year since he
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: was fifteen years old. But nobody could figure out that
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: he couldn't be rehabilitated. He'd have to put him in
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: prison to see if he could be rehabilitated. Isn't that
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: the idea of prison? But no, my daughter wanted to
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: be a teacher. She finally figured it out two weeks
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: before she was executed. And I haven't heard a damn
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: word from Byron Gibson in South Carolina, not one word,
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: four months, no communication. His biggest concern was that he
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: was pissed off about my interview and how I made
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: him look on the Fox News Channel with Trey Gowdi.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: How pathetic is that that we're letting our twenty two
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: year old kid visiting friends. It's all she ever wanted
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: to do was visit friends, and she literally was executed
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: while on her knees, begging for her life. Her name's
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: logan Federico, not irena, and you will not forget her.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: I promise you you will be sick and tired of
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: my face and my voice until this gets fixed. I
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: will fight until my last breath for my daughter. You
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: need to fight for the rest of our children, the
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: rest of the innocence, and stop protecting the people that
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: keep taking them from us. Please, you have the power.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: We put you in the power to do what you
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: have to do. We're asking you, we're begging you all
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: to stop this.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Mister Federico, what is your message tonight? And do you
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: believe the state will seek the death penalty in this case?
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: You know that's a tough question. We've had. Like I said,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: we've had no contact with them since May fifth. From
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: what I read the research, I do No, they're not
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: going to Why From what I understand, he's never asked
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: for the death penalty in any cases. He doesn't believe
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: in the death penalty?
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: What what? What?
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: What?
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Wait? What?
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Wait?
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: What?
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: The elected district attorney doesn't quote believe in the death
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: penalty from what I.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Understand, and and and my point to that is this,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: if you follow the law, Okay, he dots all the
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: I's and crosses all the teas for this punishment, like
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: this punishment fits the crime. That this isn't one of
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: those things where you're going to come to me and say, hey,
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: he'll admit to the murder if if, if you let
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: them live. No thanks, no deal. He deserves the death
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: penalty because he took someone's life. He's he can't be rehabilitated.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: He's proven that time and time again. These solicitors have
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: lessened his charges, so he spent zero time in jail
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: most of the time. And this is why we're at
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: where we are. This is why he had access to
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: my daughter. This is why. It's not because my daughter
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: was at University of South Carolina, and it's because that
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: piece was okay. And there's a reason why he was there.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: There's a reason why he has a gun. There's a
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: reason why he had access. The keyword to this case
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: is access, period. And there are many people in the
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Lexington area that are responsible for Logan's execution. They have
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: blood on their hands. They just didn't pull the trigger,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: but they gave him the opportunity to do so. And
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: that is it. Period. They could back it up all
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: they want for the rest of their lives. They should
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: feel guilty for the rest of their lives. This should
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: haunt them, from the frat brothers to the owner of
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: the gun, to the sheriff's department, the frigging solicitors, the
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: judges that all led a career criminal on the streets
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: that didn't have to be there and factually should not
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: have been there. But you know what, you know what
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: gets votes, Nancy, What gets votes are convictions. And you
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: know what easy convictions are when you make a deal
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: with somebody. That's what you call patting.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: The numbers thirty nine crimes in ten years, twenty five felonies.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: Can anybody here explain to me, well, how possibly he
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: could be on the street, possibly be on the street?
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: How is it possible? I could sit down a room
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: and I can explain the whole process I have it failed?
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: How South Carolina failed?
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Logan?
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: Okay, how lack of communication? What y'all did? You woke
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: up a beast and you pissed off the wrong daddy?
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: Because I'm gonna put it out there and I'm not
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: going to be quiet until somebody helps. Logan deserves to
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: be heard. Everyone on this panel deserves to be heard,
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: and we will trust me. My daughter laid on the
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: floor for seven hours before somebody in that house recognized
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: that something was wrong and that curer criminal an hour later,
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: went on a spending spree with her debit card. When
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: they saw his face on a video, they didn't have
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: to do a check. He was arrested so many times.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: They knew who he was, They knew exactly where to
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: go get him. Pathetic, absolutely pathetic that I'm here today.
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: Thank you for your time.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: We wait as justice unfolds. Nancy Grace signing off, good
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: night friend,
