  22. 0:54very powerful
  23. 0:56like a couple of things I might point
  24. 0:58out for the last but overall
  25. 1:00most of that was true
  26. 1:02and I think we Sedgwick County ought to
  27. 1:06be proud to think do have a good state

  37. 1:31started whatever was factor x
  38. 1:34sexual predator the volcano was the
  39. 1:37building of all those years was the
  40. 1:39Otero and probably the most devastating
  41. 1:43upsetting that means everybody is
  42. 1:45results of me
  43. 1:49I just don't know
  44. 1:51I self-centered
  45. 1:54very selfish

  47. 1:57exploded on that day it did continue
  48. 2:01off and on
  49. 2:01[Music]
  50. 2:03dishonesty definitely dishonestly
  51. 2:06probably the first thing to the people
  52. 2:08that I encountered
  53. 2:11that they trusted I was wanting to climb
  54. 2:14up take their money
  55. 2:15and leave
  56. 2:17and then I killed him
  57. 2:19that's
  58. 2:20just honestly to my family

  62. 2:35on players and to the county you know
  63. 2:37the taxpayers money
  64. 2:40[Music]
  65. 2:42um
  66. 2:45for identical responsibility yes I had
  67. 2:48Pride back then to some degree I'm
  68. 2:51trying to drop down to that but that's
  69. 2:53the media I I seem to Crave the
  70. 2:55attention of the media
  71. 2:57I think through the years that has quite
  72. 2:59presentation during the presentation and
  73. 3:01all the archives that you can understand
  74. 3:03that
  75. 3:05is it I think the bottom line is the old
  76. 3:09selfish
  77. 3:10all right
  78. 3:12just associated with with Society
  79. 3:15self-centered for my own purposes and I
  80. 3:18take that full burden on my shoulders

  89. 3:38the people
  90. 3:39you all know why I've chosen

  93. 3:45happening bright
  94. 3:49and I hope I don't fit on the media

  187. 7:41know Vicki Ryan very much although I
  188. 7:43walked by her place and Melissa's potato
  189. 7:45I appreciate music that's one thing I

  192. 7:52pull out another
  193. 7:55she attended a church that I went to
  194. 7:57Once Saint Andrews
  195. 8:02[Music]
  196. 8:03somebody
  197. 8:09take a rebuild
  198. 8:13ing
  199. 8:14[Music]
  200. 8:16basically humbled myself now
  201. 8:19Detention Center I'm going to
  202. 8:24I've tried to
  203. 8:25realize worked with the police
  204. 8:27department work with my defense
  205. 8:30tried to realize my faults
  206. 8:34honesty
  207. 8:36again I think I cooperated with the
  208. 8:37police as well I did Ike I understand
  209. 8:39there was some smoke blowing and that
  210. 8:41was probably my demise
  211. 8:43afterlife and smoke the thing about Jake
  212. 8:45young and smoke
  213. 8:47BK story early parts of it was smoke the
  214. 8:50problem is I did completely so much
  215. 8:52smoke that now nobody knows facts or
  216. 8:54fiction and that's basic on my demise
  217. 8:57but I'd be very honest with my attorneys
  218. 8:59they worked very hard
  219. 9:03we met almost every day earlier before
  220. 9:06complete someone less after Africa is
  221. 9:08basically all over and I Steve
  222. 9:10encouraged me not to go with an early
  223. 9:12plea so we could do more they get all
  224. 9:16the things they could with the
  225. 9:18floppy they had an expert come in go
  226. 9:20over the floppy to see where there was
  227. 9:22any problems with that they did
  228. 9:24extensive research in the DNA
  229. 9:27there's a sore spot with me when they
  230. 9:29took my daughter but I understand in the
  231. 9:30law enforcement you have to do certain
  232. 9:32things
  233. 9:34and I think Honesty
  234. 9:36people will say I'm not a Christian
  235. 9:41so
  236. 9:43so anyway
  237. 9:44faced up to the man itself now
  238. 9:46my boss
  239. 9:49I think that all points to
  240. 9:51accountability
  241. 9:52full responsibility now
  242. 9:55and my remorse
  243. 9:57well I think I think it's here
  244. 10:00you know the victims families won't ever
  245. 10:03be able to forgive me
  246. 10:06I hope somewhere deep down okay that'll
  247. 10:09happen
  248. 10:11well this happened I was what I would
  249. 10:13say not a total
  250. 10:15in one time pardon me
  251. 10:18and only just caught only the thoughts
  252. 10:20the Comfort middle life that is probably
  253. 10:22as the
  254. 10:24the state started to show today was the
  255. 10:26compartmentalization of me
  256. 10:28and that has been my biggest records put
  257. 10:31back and forth I'm not proud of that
  258. 10:32it's just I was just Escape mechanism
  259. 10:36defense magazine mechanism
  260. 10:38I could switch back and forth fairly
  261. 10:40fast
  262. 10:42I explained to the
  263. 10:43defense I was kind of like an 18-wheeler
  264. 10:46either uphill or downhill I could switch
  265. 10:48gears very fast rapidly
  266. 10:53back and forth and as I stand here
  267. 10:56in this humble way and maybe people
  268. 10:58think that I've done that gone back to
  269. 11:00Kirk parking lots but I don't think so
  270. 11:05so anyway it's giving me the faith to
  271. 11:07see him today and not putting this to
  272. 11:10pass
  273. 11:11[Music]
  274. 11:15Corrections
  275. 11:17this is the full responsibility I'm
  276. 11:19going to the kennel Institution
  277. 11:22full full Morton I do not expect
  278. 11:24anything but the hard 40 today
  279. 11:27I expected that down the plea that's why
  280. 11:29I stepped up to complete
  281. 11:31I knew after I talked to police evidence
  282. 11:35there wasn't any way I was really going
  283. 11:37to get out of this unless we found some
  284. 11:39way of
  285. 11:41some evidence that was just totally out
  286. 11:43of the and the trial would have been a
  287. 11:45long drawn out to the police there was
  288. 11:47no way that I was ever going to go it
  289. 11:50was
  290. 11:51I think the corrections I'm away from
  291. 11:54society now
  292. 11:55of your healing process there as well as
  293. 11:58you can
  294. 11:59start my new chapter one
  295. 12:04and I suppose in all good time and it's
  296. 12:07rated everybody knows Raider has to
  297. 12:08complain a little bit so I would like to
  298. 12:10do some minor ones not because I want to
  299. 12:12complain today but I want to set the
  300. 12:14record this is my last time
  301. 12:16[Music]
  302. 12:19probably the biggest problem I have
  303. 12:21right now and we're still trying to
  304. 12:22answer is what happened to Mendoza I had
  305. 12:25to trust with that person
  306. 12:27psychiatrist
  307. 12:28and faces working out I know other
  308. 12:30people working on it that was a I just
  309. 12:32don't know what happened
  310. 12:34maybe that'll
  311. 12:35happen
  312. 12:36another one is the and I
  313. 12:39and I just basically expressing this I
  314. 12:42don't have a control on it but maybe
  315. 12:43somebody would take apart tip is lean on
  316. 12:46the house yeah the final victim is Mr
  317. 12:49Davis said is my wife
  318. 12:56yeah
  319. 12:59thank you
  320. 13:02[Music]
  321. 13:08[Music]
  322. 13:12Stephen Jeff
  323. 13:15[Music]
  324. 13:20oh anyway I'm gonna get back to that
  325. 13:22she's my final victim
  326. 13:24stay out of my family
  327. 13:27she knew nothing about this
  328. 13:33because I have property there's a lot of
  329. 13:36dependencies that stand up here don't
  330. 13:37have anything to go after I know this is
  331. 13:39very expensive
  332. 13:40I probably defense is running somewhere
  333. 13:4280 90 000.
  334. 13:45it's about the house sold for
  335. 13:47if we wanted a trial has been millions
  336. 13:49and years
  337. 13:50so I I just basically asked that whoever
  338. 13:53does that final judgment that they think
  339. 13:55about the wife
  340. 13:58the other one is uh
  341. 14:02it's not this last issue is that the
  342. 14:04fight s for my wallet so I could get
  343. 14:06some personal pictures out of it I was
  344. 14:08hoping defense would have a court order
  345. 14:09and before I leave today I can go
  346. 14:11through that wallet and
  347. 14:13family pictures but that's not a big
  348. 14:15issue because I understand through code
  349. 14:17of ethics
  350. 14:18the defense we'll turn that probably
  351. 14:19over the family and go over my clothes
  352. 14:22so those are really those are the only
  353. 14:23early complaints except for a PowerPoint
  354. 14:27I don't and again I don't want to pick
  355. 14:29on the law enforcement they've done a
  356. 14:30very good job but I do want to clarify a
  357. 14:32few things
  358. 14:33just for the records
  359. 14:35because this is based on my final say
  360. 14:38in the first one there was two actors
  361. 14:40that were brought out the chainwalker
  362. 14:42John Wayne and James Bond
  363. 14:45the action of that with Kevin
  364. 14:48was the shooting not because I stood up
  365. 14:51and shine because when I was working
  366. 14:54with the police that was a what I call a
  367. 14:56quick draw just like that
  368. 14:58That's What I Call this John Wayne shot
  369. 15:00it's not that he would do something like
  370. 15:03that secondly we fought and for us to
  371. 15:06fight he had had both his hands open
  372. 15:09the PowerPoint said that he basically
  373. 15:12stood up he was tired not shot and
  374. 15:14that's incorrect
  375. 15:15we fought I backed off he had his hands
  376. 15:18now and I'm not starting again and again
  377. 15:22these are only minor it does not make
  378. 15:24any difference it's probably Euro I just
  379. 15:26want to set the record straight and
  380. 15:27that's all sir
  381. 15:30Ryan
  382. 15:31it was in the PowerPoint was perceived
  383. 15:33that I was strangling surely stopped to
  384. 15:37comfort the kids that's just the
  385. 15:39opposite
  386. 15:40achieve or I both put the kids back in
  387. 15:43the bathroom
  388. 15:44covered in there before we went in and
  389. 15:47what happened
  390. 15:49so the toys and all that were put in
  391. 15:51there earlier
  392. 15:52[Music]
  393. 15:56basically clarify that on that
  394. 16:04[Music]
  395. 16:06and this is really minor
  396. 16:08although it makes you wonder whether the
  397. 16:11information is candid or not evidence
  398. 16:13and what makes it effect like where the
  399. 16:15law enforcement did do although they
  400. 16:17looked like they did a good job with it
  401. 16:18he did it 100 percent
  402. 16:20Doris Davis Graves a little foot back
  403. 16:24and forth anybody knows anything about
  404. 16:26geology structure it's trees and stuff
  405. 16:29or not I'd like Sheen they were over in
  406. 16:31the eastern part of the United States so
  407. 16:33and those pictures that came in the mail
  408. 16:35were not they're not the other ones they
  409. 16:38were all from at their site that she
  410. 16:41probably the most damaging to me
  411. 16:45was the pornography they displayed USA
  412. 16:50pornography of what I drew but I didn't
  413. 16:52see where they had a lot of pornography
  414. 16:53but they brought two pictures out
  415. 16:56family will know that I didn't own a
  416. 16:58camper had a pickup with a camper top
  417. 17:00but he didn't have any shelves in it so
  418. 17:02I basically evidence was totally painted
  419. 17:04Vape either picked up a fixture from
  420. 17:06somewhere else or inserted or didn't
  421. 17:08realize it that may have been a relative
  422. 17:10I'm not sure
  423. 17:12that I would think if they had more
  424. 17:13pornography they would have showed it
  425. 17:16[Music]
  426. 17:19let's see what basically the
  427. 17:21clarifications
  428. 17:23the other thing is uh
  429. 17:25with law enforcement there seemed to be
  430. 17:28I was
  431. 17:30despite it as a dog picture I did go to
  432. 17:34AJ
  433. 17:34law enforcement
  434. 17:36I felt like it did I report with the law
  435. 17:39enforcement people
  436. 17:40during the confession as they probably
  437. 17:43said in the paper and I still probably
  438. 17:44be talking about if the defense person
  439. 17:46didn't show up right we had a good
  440. 17:48rapport I almost felt like they were my
  441. 17:51buddies at one time I asked about
  442. 17:52Lamonia maybe coming in and having a cup
  443. 17:54of coffee with me
  444. 17:55so there was a rapport I've always had a
  445. 17:57great respect for law enforcement
  446. 18:00although I wore back black after Civil
  447. 18:03Right There
  448. 18:04[Music]
  449. 18:07thanks
  450. 18:08[Music]
  451. 18:10I can't believe the people of health
  452. 18:11illness
  453. 18:13starting with I yeah I think they use
  454. 18:17Society have to even though I'm a
  455. 18:21criminal I think you have to appreciate
  456. 18:22the police department they've done a lot
  457. 18:24of work
  458. 18:25even though it took a long time they
  459. 18:27gathered evidence they had that evidence
  460. 18:29when they got the key suspect they zero
  461. 18:31they're not a very crap look so to have
  462. 18:33the dedication that like Mr Edward for
  463. 18:35all this years has been great so I think
  464. 18:37Cedric County really has a good police
  465. 18:40force
  466. 18:43defense this has been a unique
  467. 18:46probably a different type case that
  468. 18:49they've ever had
  469. 18:50we've had our ups and downs but mostly
  470. 18:52we've been good it's it it's just like a
  471. 18:55new learning curve it's just a new curve
  472. 18:58and the media has just been terrible
  473. 19:00I worked with the media afterwards and
  474. 19:03yeah it I mean it's it's just it's just
  475. 19:07tremendous they've done a very good
  476. 19:09Sarah has probably been like
  477. 19:10probably my Workforce I will appreciate
  478. 19:13her she's done a lot of good work
  479. 19:15Steve he had to keep the heads and all
  480. 19:17this and I know that was very hard very
  481. 19:19hard for me I want to go ahead since I
  482. 19:21worked with defense very close to skip
  483. 19:23them all personal
  484. 19:25shirt would be list here
  485. 19:27however I mentioned Steve Sarah McKinley
  486. 19:30everybody knows Steve
  487. 19:33another one that happened was John
  488. 19:34Mitchell I think she's on a case today
  489. 19:36probably uh is that correcting over here
  490. 19:39okay
  491. 19:41uh ligands starrich she was a social
  492. 19:44worker that did a lot of research for me

  494. 19:48was Jenny barn with a special
  495. 19:50investigator

  497. 19:52my hair or brought my clothes up so I
  498. 19:54have a
  499. 19:55you know they're basically my family so
  500. 19:58I appreciate that I'm professional staff
  501. 20:00although we have some questions with
  502. 20:01Robert jamendos and what happened there
  503. 20:04I take that time that'll be solved but I
  504. 20:06still have to give him credit for coming
  505. 20:08in and helping me
  506. 20:09and working with me and I'm sure I hope
  507. 20:12I can pronounce that right like hey

  509. 20:15came in and they were all from Cambridge
  510. 20:17forensic

  526. 20:53didn't know them but they they finally
  527. 20:55opened up and they became human and I
  528. 20:58think they realized I was human too
  529. 20:59eventually I moved over to pod two

  532. 21:10the pod there was a bunch of great guys
  533. 21:11most of those guys were gone now but I
  534. 21:14had a lot of respect I sit down with him
