behind, uh, 318 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,655 not necessarily up in the action, 319 00:15:33,724 --> 00:15:35,172 was usually what he did 320 00:15:35,172 --> 00:15:37,172 when we had functions like this. 321 00:15:37,172 --> 00:15:39,896 It's almost like you would look at him 322 00:15:39,896 --> 00:15:40,758 and you would think, 323 00:15:40,758 --> 00:15:43,000 he can't wait for us to just leave. 324 00:15:45,379 --> 00:15:46,896 [Ramona] He would use his mood 325 00:15:46,896 --> 00:15:49,379 or a sickness, as he would call it, or whatever, 326 00:15:49,379 --> 00:15:52,000 to be manipulative towards 327 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,206 what we wanted to do. 328 00:15:55,586 --> 00:15:56,758 [Jimmy] There would be times 329 00:15:56,827 --> 00:15:58,793 when we would be over at the house, 330 00:15:58,793 --> 00:16:01,241 then all of a sudden, he's got to go upstairs 331 00:16:01,310 --> 00:16:03,172 and take a nap and take some aspirin 332 00:16:03,172 --> 00:16:05,000 because he's got a headache. 333 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,172 And that's an indication to us that, 334 00:16:08,172 --> 00:16:09,896 you know, he wants us to leave 335 00:16:09,896 --> 00:16:13,413 so he can be alone with Mom and control her. 336 00:16:13,586 --> 00:16:14,827 [Cindy speaking] 337 00:16:18,379 --> 00:16:20,793 [Ann speaking] 338 00:16:20,793 --> 00:16:23,068 [Kathy] With Marshall, at first, I thought that 339 00:16:23,068 --> 00:16:24,551 he wanted to take care of her. 340 00:16:24,896 --> 00:16:26,275 But as I think back, 341 00:16:26,275 --> 00:16:29,551 I realize he just wanted to control. 342 00:16:30,206 --> 00:16:31,241 And that just drove us nuts, 343 00:16:31,241 --> 00:16:33,862 because Cindy and I could see this stuff. 344 00:16:33,862 --> 00:16:36,931 And Mom never seemed to see it. 345 00:16:37,793 --> 00:16:39,034 [Ann speaking] 346 00:16:41,172 --> 00:16:42,655 [narrator] To Marshall's annoyance, 347 00:16:42,724 --> 00:16:44,172 by 1995, 348 00:16:44,172 --> 00:16:46,482 Ann spends an increasing amount of time 349 00:16:46,482 --> 00:16:48,310 caring for her family members. 350 00:16:52,103 --> 00:16:53,689 [Jimmy] Grandma Young, 351 00:16:53,689 --> 00:16:56,379 which is Mom's mom, 352 00:16:56,379 --> 00:16:58,655 the big thing that affected her 353 00:16:58,724 --> 00:17:00,827 was the Alzheimer's disease. 354 00:17:02,172 --> 00:17:04,034 [Kathy] Ann took care of keeping track of 355 00:17:04,103 --> 00:17:06,275 all of her medicines and making sure 356 00:17:06,275 --> 00:17:08,655 that she got to stay 357 00:17:08,723 --> 00:17:10,448 in the assisted living. 358 00:17:11,103 --> 00:17:14,448 Then her brother got sick, Pat, 359 00:17:14,517 --> 00:17:18,000 and, um, he had multiple myeloma cancer. 360 00:17:18,378 --> 00:17:22,172 And he needed so much care. 361 00:17:22,172 --> 00:17:25,655 And Ann was there for him 362 00:17:26,205 --> 00:17:28,000 through all of that. 363 00:17:29,172 --> 00:17:32,034 [Jimmy] Marshall couldn't stand the fact 364 00:17:32,103 --> 00:17:34,793 that Mom spent time 365 00:17:34,793 --> 00:17:37,172 taking care of another human being. 366 00:17:37,172 --> 00:17:38,758 Didn't matter who it was. 367 00:17:38,827 --> 00:17:39,724 He hated it. 368 00:17:40,896 --> 00:17:42,241 [Ramona] Marshall did not 369 00:17:43,068 --> 00:17:46,275 have compassion, I don't think, for anybody. 370 00:17:46,275 --> 00:17:49,827 Her focus had to be on him and only him. 371 00:17:49,896 --> 00:17:51,586 [narrator] The only time Ann gets any respite 372 00:17:51,586 --> 00:17:53,896 from Marshall's deteriorating mood 373 00:17:53,896 --> 00:17:55,517 is when he's at his job. 374 00:17:56,862 --> 00:17:59,586 [Ramona] At that time, he worked on the roads 375 00:17:59,586 --> 00:18:01,068 for Montgomery County. 376 00:18:01,068 --> 00:18:04,137 I believe Marshall did like laying asphalt. 377 00:18:04,689 --> 00:18:06,172 [Jimmy] Unfortunately for Mom, 378 00:18:06,172 --> 00:18:08,586 one day he was called 379 00:18:08,586 --> 00:18:10,000 into the office 380 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,137 and basically given an ultimatum. 381 00:18:12,206 --> 00:18:15,413 "You either quit or we're gonna fire you." 382 00:18:17,482 --> 00:18:18,620 I believe 383 00:18:18,620 --> 00:18:22,068 when Marshall lost his job in Montgomery County, 384 00:18:22,068 --> 00:18:25,275 people were starting to put two and two together 385 00:18:25,275 --> 00:18:27,000 about his lifestyle, 386 00:18:27,620 --> 00:18:30,000 about his controlling aspects, 387 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,344 about his abusiveness. 388 00:18:32,413 --> 00:18:35,137 Even my mom was starting to get smart 389 00:18:35,206 --> 00:18:36,620 and figure things out. 390 00:18:38,482 --> 00:18:39,379 [Shannon speaking] 391 00:18:39,379 --> 00:18:40,586 [Marshall speaking] 392 00:18:40,586 --> 00:18:42,379 [Shannon speaking] 393 00:18:42,379 --> 00:18:44,000 [Jimmy] I felt like 394 00:18:44,379 --> 00:18:46,620 he was starting to see 395 00:18:47,275 --> 00:18:49,310 the walls crashing. 396 00:18:49,793 --> 00:18:52,000 [Ann speaking] 397 00:18:55,482 --> 00:18:57,931 [Jimmy] And in my mind, he's thinkin', 398 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,448 "I have to do something to put a halt on this." 399 00:19:01,517 --> 00:19:02,862 And he told Mom 400 00:19:02,862 --> 00:19:05,896 he was having mental issues. 401 00:19:05,896 --> 00:19:08,137 Most of us close to him 402 00:19:08,206 --> 00:19:10,068 realized that it was all baloney. 403 00:19:10,068 --> 00:19:12,275 And that was what I felt 404 00:19:12,275 --> 00:19:15,655 was another one of his manipulating ways 405 00:19:16,068 --> 00:19:18,275 to control Mom, 406 00:19:18,275 --> 00:19:20,862 because it required Mom, 407 00:19:20,862 --> 00:19:23,931 you know, to be there to take care of him. 408 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,896 [Ramona] That's when I really kind of thought, 409 00:19:26,758 --> 00:19:29,448 he's showing his dark side now. 410 00:19:29,517 --> 00:19:30,827 Something's wrong now. 411 00:19:31,689 --> 00:19:34,862 [Jimmy] He was abusing her mentally 412 00:19:34,862 --> 00:19:36,344 like he did us 413 00:19:36,413 --> 00:19:38,620 and everybody else he was associated with. 414 00:19:50,379 --> 00:19:51,413 [Ann speaking] 415 00:19:54,689 --> 00:19:58,000 Marshall was acting more strange than usual. 416 00:19:58,068 --> 00:19:59,724 He was becoming 417 00:20:00,241 --> 00:20:02,103 very reclusive. 418 00:20:02,103 --> 00:20:05,379 [Kathy] Ann told me that she would go home after dark 419 00:20:05,379 --> 00:20:07,793 and he'd be sitting in the living room 420 00:20:08,448 --> 00:20:10,172 with no lights on, 421 00:20:10,172 --> 00:20:12,241 laying back in the recliner. 422 00:20:13,241 --> 00:20:14,379 [Jimmy] I didn't even care, 423 00:20:14,379 --> 00:20:16,482 to be honest with you. 424 00:20:16,482 --> 00:20:19,172 You know, that's a sorry statement 425 00:20:19,172 --> 00:20:21,000 to say that about your father, 426 00:20:21,448 --> 00:20:23,310 but that's the truth. 427 00:20:27,758 --> 00:20:30,068 In 2004, Cindy and I decided 428 00:20:30,068 --> 00:20:31,689 to start our own business 429 00:20:31,689 --> 00:20:33,689 called Allcool Refrigerant Reclaim. 430 00:20:37,068 --> 00:20:40,620 Mom, she was so proud of us for doing that. 431 00:20:41,379 --> 00:20:42,862 One of the things I needed 432 00:20:42,862 --> 00:20:45,137 was a large processing tank. 433 00:20:45,137 --> 00:20:47,793 It cost $12,500. 434 00:20:48,275 --> 00:20:49,413 Never 435 00:20:49,862 --> 00:20:50,827 ever 436 00:20:51,344 --> 00:20:52,793 had 437 00:20:52,793 --> 00:20:56,068 the intention of asking Mom for money. 438 00:20:58,689 --> 00:21:01,241 But she says to me, "I want to buy you that tank." 439 00:21:03,034 --> 00:21:05,931 Marshall was just furious about that. 440 00:21:07,655 --> 00:21:10,586 I believe that it caused a really big rift 441 00:21:11,103 --> 00:21:13,241 between Marshall and Ann. 442 00:21:13,896 --> 00:21:15,724 He never really let it go. 443 00:21:18,586 --> 00:21:20,586 [narrator] Despite her relationship problems, 444 00:21:20,586 --> 00:21:24,034 Ann finds solace in her love for her granddaughters. 445 00:21:24,034 --> 00:21:27,241 [Shannon] Franki graduated high school in 2008. 446 00:21:27,241 --> 00:21:29,448 Uncle Pat couldn't come up on the bleachers 447 00:21:29,448 --> 00:21:32,000 because, um, of his cancer. 448 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,827 And so he needed to sit down on the floor level. 449 00:21:35,896 --> 00:21:37,586 And Gram was gonna sit down there with him. 450 00:21:37,586 --> 00:21:40,724 And I remember Granddad getting really irritated. 451 00:21:41,448 --> 00:21:44,344 [Jimmy] He just acted like a child. 452 00:21:44,344 --> 00:21:46,275 And he was just mad, and he left. 453 00:21:46,655 --> 00:21:47,931 He left them there. 454 00:21:48,965 --> 00:21:51,068 This was something that 455 00:21:51,068 --> 00:21:52,413 he had never done before. 456 00:21:52,482 --> 00:21:53,862 He had never 457 00:21:53,862 --> 00:21:57,000 put Mom in a situation 458 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,310 to

Everything started going really downhill 462 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,931 after Franki's graduation. 463 00:22:12,965 --> 00:22:14,310 [line ringing] 464 00:22:18,344 --> 00:22:21,000 [Ramona] Ann would call me crying. 465 00:22:21,068 --> 00:22:24,068 And, uh...

00:32:09,482 --> 00:32:10,793 So at close contact, 676 00:32:10,793 --> 00:32:12,896 those gases and particles go out 677 00:32:12,896 --> 00:32:14,862 and will burn the human skin, 678 00:32:14,862 --> 00:32:16,724 it will burn clothing. 679 00:32:17,379 --> 00:32:18,517 Marshall indicated that 680 00:32:18,517 --> 00:32:21,413 the rounds struck Ann during their struggle, 681 00:32:21,482 --> 00:32:22,758 but Ann did not have any of those 682 00:32:22,758 --> 00:32:25,827 powder burns on her clothing or on her skin. 683 00:32:26,275 --> 00:32:27,448 That would indicate 684 00:32:27,448 --> 00:32:29,586 that Marshall was several feet away, at least, 685 00:32:29,586 --> 00:32:31,275 when the rounds were discharged. 686 00:32:31,275 --> 00:32:33,448 Marshall's version of events 687 00:32:33,448 --> 00:32:35,241 was simply, was not true. 688 00:32:37,241 --> 00:32:39,620 We obtained an arrest warrant 689 00:32:39,689 --> 00:32:40,758 for Marshall 690 00:32:40,758 --> 00:32:42,586 for first-degree murder, second-degree murder, 691 00:32:42,586 --> 00:32:44,172 and the warrant was served on Marshall. 692 00:32:44,172 --> 00:32:46,448 It was difficult to not look at the facts of the case 693 00:32:46,448 --> 00:32:49,034 and not reach the conclusion that it was a purposeful act, 694 00:32:49,034 --> 00:32:51,241 but there wasn't really a lot of 695 00:32:51,241 --> 00:32:54,965 known information as far as this being a premeditated act or not. 696 00:32:54,965 --> 00:32:57,344 [narrator] The lack of proof of premeditation 697 00:32:57,344 --> 00:33:00,137 could mean the difference between a life sentence 698 00:33:00,137 --> 00:33:02,862 and as little as 15 years imprisonment. 699 00:33:02,862 --> 00:33:04,862 There's no doubt in my mind 700 00:33:04,862 --> 00:33:08,000 he knew what he was gonna do, period. 701 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,310 And he was not gonna get away with that. 702 00:33:24,068 --> 00:33:26,034 [Mark] I believe that when Ann arrived at the house 703 00:33:26,034 --> 00:33:28,172 that Marshall had every intention of 704 00:33:28,172 --> 00:33:29,931 shooting her and killing her that day. 705 00:33:31,172 --> 00:33:32,793 But we needed evidence. 706 00:33:33,758 --> 00:33:34,931 [phone ringing] 707 00:33:38,896 --> 00:33:40,827 [Mark] A few days after the incident, there was 708 00:33:40,896 --> 00:33:42,931 an unexpected turn of events. 709 00:33:43,758 --> 00:33:45,827 Detectives received a phone call 710 00:33:45,896 --> 00:33:48,482 from Marshall's financial advisor. 711 00:33:49,137 --> 00:33:51,310 He stated that Marshall called him 712 00:33:51,379 --> 00:33:53,482 the day before the homicide 713 00:33:53,482 --> 00:33:56,413 and wanted his 401k cashed out. 714 00:33:56,482 --> 00:33:57,655 So the financial advisor 715 00:33:57,655 --> 00:34:00,137 closed the account and a check was 716 00:34:00,137 --> 00:34:01,379 put in the mail for 717 00:34:01,379 --> 00:34:03,482 around $14,000. 718 00:34:04,482 --> 00:34:06,758 If you look at a plan that he would have, 719 00:34:06,758 --> 00:34:08,241 he'd probably need money. 720 00:34:08,241 --> 00:34:09,551 He needed a lawyer. 721 00:34:09,551 --> 00:34:12,137 So that was our big breakthrough to show that 722 00:34:12,137 --> 00:34:13,585 Marshall did do this on purpose 723 00:34:13,585 --> 00:34:15,379 and that it was premeditated. 724 00:34:19,482 --> 00:34:21,551 [judge speaking] 725 00:34:21,551 --> 00:34:22,516 [prosecutor speaking] 726 00:34:27,862 --> 00:34:29,724 [narrator] The trial of Marshall Metz 727 00:34:29,793 --> 00:34:32,413 begins on September 8th, 2010. 728 00:34:33,344 --> 00:34:34,688 Every single time 729 00:34:34,688 --> 00:34:37,000 he was in the courtroom, we were there. 730 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,310 Um, I think I only missed one day. 731 00:34:40,137 --> 00:34:43,137 [Shannon] Granddad just looked mean, 732 00:34:43,137 --> 00:34:45,000 and he looked angry, 733 00:34:45,068 --> 00:34:47,310 and he just looked completely different 734 00:34:47,379 --> 00:34:49,000 than the person that I remember. 735 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,172 I mean, it almost was like he exuded evil. 736 00:34:52,896 --> 00:34:55,241 [Kathy] He didn't look sorry at all. 737 00:34:55,241 --> 00:34:57,275 He didn't look upset at all. 738 00:34:57,275 --> 00:35:00,827 He didn't care what he had done to Ann. 739 00:35:00,896 --> 00:35:03,241 [Ramona] I wanted to jump over there and just 740 00:35:03,241 --> 00:35:05,793 slap him down, but I knew I couldn't. 741 00:35:07,034 --> 00:35:09,137 [prosecutor speaking] 742 00:35:13,896 --> 00:35:15,000 At the time of the crime, 743 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,482 I was the elected state's attorney for 744 00:35:16,482 --> 00:35:17,896 Frederick County, Maryland. 745 00:35:18,275 --> 00:35:19,793 I was the lead prosecutor. 746 00:35:19,793 --> 00:35:21,206 [Charles speaking] 747 00:35:24,137 --> 00:35:26,103 [tool whirring] 748 00:35:26,103 --> 00:35:27,758 [Charles] We were very confident, 749 00:35:27,758 --> 00:35:30,758 uh, that we could disprove his self-defense claim. 750 00:35:30,758 --> 00:35:32,724 [Charles speaking] 751 00:35:39,586 --> 00:35:41,000 Marshall Metz had no 752 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,068 defensive wounds on him whatsoever, 753 00:35:44,068 --> 00:35:46,310 uh, something that you might see in a struggle. 754 00:35:47,034 --> 00:35:49,172 We called to the stand a ballistics 755 00:35:49,172 --> 00:35:50,724 uh, firearms examiner, 756 00:35:51,172 --> 00:35:53,172 who essentially testified that 757 00:35:53,172 --> 00:35:57,000 the gunshots had to occur from a distance of at least 758 00:35:57,068 --> 00:35:58,862 four feet or more. 759 00:35:58,862 --> 00:36:00,448 Marshall Metz's version of the story 760 00:36:00,448 --> 00:36:02,172 could not have taken place. 761 00:36:02,965 --> 00:36:04,068 [woman] For the first-degree murder, 762 00:36:04,068 --> 00:36:05,965 we have to prove that it was deliberate, 763 00:36:05,965 --> 00:36:09,000 that it was willful, that it was premeditated. 764 00:36:10,344 --> 00:36:12,034 I wanted to start by giving the jury 765 00:36:12,034 --> 00:36:14,793 a little picture of what her life was like. 766 00:36:15,482 --> 00:36:17,137 He was a very jealous man. 767 00:36:18,379 --> 00:36:19,689 Marshall Metz 768 00:36:19,689 --> 00:36:22,310 wanted full control over her. 769 00:36:22,379 --> 00:36:25,000 And if he couldn't have her, then nobody else could. 770 00:36:25,793 --> 00:36:28,586 He got that handgun, and he threatened her with it. 771 00:36:28,586 --> 00:36:31,310 And she probably was trying to leave. 772 00:36:31,379 --> 00:36:33,068 -[gunshot] -[Kirsten] Then he shot her. 773 00:36:33,068 --> 00:36:35,310 I think the gun jammed. 774 00:36:35,379 --> 00:36:37,482 He couldn't shoot her again to finish it. 775 00:36:37,482 --> 00:36:39,137 And he grabbed the rifle. 776 00:36:39,137 --> 00:36:40,137 [gunshot] 777 00:36:40,137 --> 00:36:41,896 [Kirsten] And then he shot her again. 778 00:36:41,896 --> 00:36:44,241 And then he just left her there on the floor to die. 779 00:36:45,172 --> 00:36:47,517 [Charles speaking] 780 00:36:54,103 --> 00:36:55,137 And then finally, 781 00:36:55,137 --> 00:36:57,344 we called to the stand a financial advisor 782 00:36:57,344 --> 00:36:59,827 who testified that Marshall Metz told him 783 00:36:59,896 --> 00:37:02,551 the day before the murder 784 00:37:02,551 --> 00:37:05,000 that he wanted to liquidate this investment account. 785 00:37:05,689 --> 00:37:07,413 You could see the jury 786 00:37:07,482 --> 00:37:09,137 basically just shake their heads. 787 00:37:09,137 --> 00:37:10,896 They knew that Marshall Metz 788 00:37:10,896 --> 00:37:12,586 made the decision to take her life, 789 00:37:12,586 --> 00:37:14,068 and that's exactly what happened. 790 00:37:14,068 --> 00:37:16,827 They did not put him on the stand. 791 00:37:17,379 --> 00:37:20,620 The defense called zero... 792 00:37:21,275 --> 00:37:23,413 zero witnesses. 793 00:37:23,655 --> 00:37:25,241 They had nothing. 794 00:37:25,241 --> 00:37:27,068 [Charles] We brought the jury in. 795 00:37:27,068 --> 00:37:28,827 They had a verdict. 796 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,896 And it was guilty 797 00:37:33,896 --> 00:37:36,379 beyond a reasonable doubt, a first-degree homicide. 798 00:37:40,482 --> 00:37:41,896 The family just... 799 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,275 began crying. 800 00:37:44,896 --> 00:37:47,689 I remember relief at the guilty verdict, 801 00:37:47,689 --> 00:37:50,275 but also just confusion. 802 00:37:50,275 --> 00:37:52,586 I'm sitting on Pawpaw's lap. 803 00:37:52,586 --> 00:37:54,482 [Ann speaking] 804 00:37:54,482 --> 00:37:55,655 [Shannon] You have someone that 805 00:37:55,655 --> 00:37:57,551 does something so horrible, 806 00:37:57,551 --> 00:38:01,103 but they weren't that person for you for so many years. 807 00:38:01,758 --> 00:38:04,034 It's really hard to just 808 00:38:04,034 --> 00:38:05,931 like flip a switch and it's all gone. 809 00:38:10,551 --> 00:38:11,965 [Jimmy] As happy as I was 810 00:38:11,965 --> 00:38:14,000 to know that he was gonna be punished, 811 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,413 it didn't make Mom being gone, 812 00:38:16,482 --> 00:38:18,000 it didn't make it any easier. 813 00:38:18,896 --> 00:38:20,241 [voice shaking] It was tough. 814 00:38:20,896 --> 00:38:22,241 And it still is. 815 00:38:22,586 --> 00:38:24,275 All these years later, 816 00:38:24,275 --> 00:38:26,620 it's still, uh, it's still tough. 817 00:38:28,482 --> 00:38:31,517 [Charles speaking] 818 00:38:33,793 --> 00:38:35,724 [narrator] Just before sentencing, 819 00:38:35,793 --> 00:38:36,862 Jimmy and Shannon 820 00:38:36,862 --> 00:38:39,000 get the chance to read impact statements. 821 00:38:39,379 --> 00:38:40,724 [Jimmy speaking] 822 00:39:02,172 --> 00:39:05,379 [Shannon speaking] 823 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,586 He was shrugging it off, 824 00:39:19,482 --> 00:39:20,655 you know, kind of half smirking, 825 00:39:20,655 --> 00:39:22,827 acting like it was no big deal. 826 00:39:24,034 --> 00:39:26,000 And then the judge gave Marshall 827 00:39:26,068 --> 00:39:28,724 a chance to talk, and... 828 00:39:29,862 --> 00:39:31,275 Such filth 829 00:39:31,793 --> 00:39:33,551 that came from his mouth. 830 00:39:33,551 --> 00:39:35,000 [Marshall speaking] 831 00:39:58,172 --> 00:40:01,620 He was projecting his miserable life onto me 832 00:40:02,068 --> 00:40:04,103 because I was the only target 833 00:40:04,103 --> 00:40:06,103 that he could come after. 834 00:40:06,103 --> 00:40:08,379 [Kathy] The judge finally told him, 835 00:40:08,379 --> 00:40:10,620 "Okay, that's enough, that's enough." 836 00:40:11,482 --> 00:40:13,620 And she sentenced him. 837 00:40:15,275 --> 00:40:18,758 [Jimmy] He got life without the possibility of parole, 838 00:40:18,758 --> 00:40:21,482 and he got an extra 20 years. 839 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,000 And we feel the extra 20 years 840 00:40:25,172 --> 00:40:26,413 was tacked on 841 00:40:26,482 --> 00:40:28,137 simply for him standing up 842 00:40:28,137 --> 00:40:30,862 and projecting his miserable life 843 00:40:30,862 --> 00:40:32,724 onto me. 844 00:40:32,793 --> 00:40:36,068 It just goes to show you that you really don't know 845 00:40:36,068 --> 00:40:38,000 people that you think you know 846 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,620 or you don't know what they can become, 847 00:40:41,896 --> 00:40:42,931 which... 848 00:40:43,862 --> 00:40:45,931 To me, Marshall became evil. 849 00:40:47,275 --> 00:40:49,551 [Jimmy] I think we've done a good job 850 00:40:49,551 --> 00:40:54,172 at continuing to remember her and what a good person she is. 851 00:40:54,172 --> 00:40:57,000 I'd like to think that someday maybe I'll forgive him, 852 00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,172 and I want to end up in heaven. 853 00:40:59,689 --> 00:41:01,655 Um, but as of right now, 854 00:41:01,655 --> 00:41:03,827 I don't think that's, um, 855 00:41:03,896 --> 00:41:05,965 possible for me. [sniffles] 856 00:41:05,965 --> 00:41:07,413 And, 857 00:41:07,482 --> 00:41:10,689 you know, he is a true monster. 858 00:41:20,241 --> 00:41:22,517 [woman speaking] 859 00:41:23,896 --> 00:41:27,724 He seemed really easygoing, but he just started to change. 860 00:41:27,793 --> 00:41:30,310 He took so much from so many people. 861 00:41:30,379 --> 00:41:33,103 [woman] It's just proof that the devil's all too real.
