401. 17:08>> I went in the power room.
402. 17:12This was like three years ago.
403. 17:14>> And I turned all the power in his room
404. 17:18because the power is downstairs.
405. 17:22And then he was barking and crying to
406. 17:25his mother darling about he can't do
407. 17:28that because oh this is my job and this
408. 17:32that and the other and this that and the
409. 17:34other and
410. 17:37>> I said okay. So I turned the power back
411. 17:40on
412. 17:43>> for a week everything was fine.
413. 17:47>> Then that's when the real problem
414. 17:49started.
415. 17:55Because we don't speak to each other,
416. 17:57right? We walk by each other in the
417. 17:59morning or whatever. Don't say good
418. 18:01morning. Just take me up. You know,
419. 18:03probably better that way. Yeah.
420. 18:05>> And so I kind of just left you alone. I
421. 18:08just left you alone.
422. 18:10And I said, "Okay, let's go then. We
423. 18:13don't speak with each other." cuz he got
424. 18:16a condition
425. 18:19>> which you will find out later on. He
426. 18:22can't even open up a a can soda because
427. 18:25of his condition
428. 18:28and he only can walk straight up. He
429. 18:31cannot bend or any of that. He can't do
430. 18:34any of that because of his condition.
431. 18:36And I respect that. You know, if he's
432. 18:39trying to get out the front door and I'm
433. 18:41upstairs, I'll open the lock for him.
434. 18:45sweet and walk out front door.
435. 18:48And
436. 18:52one night, this is very important.
437. 18:55I told Darling and him,
438. 18:59I said
439. 19:02what they say and I apologize for it.
440. 19:08I will kill you and him
441. 19:13>> if y'all push me.

842. 38:28>> Investigators ultimately treated George
843. 38:30Albert Summer's actions as [music]
844. 38:31criminal responsibility for the shooting
845. 38:33death of Shared Moore inside the home.
846. 38:36Prosecutors charged [music] Summers with
847. 38:38seconddegree murder and use of a firearm
848. 38:40in the commission of a violent crime,
849. 38:42[music] relying on the physical
850. 38:43evidence, scene findings, and Summer's
851. 38:45own admissions to establish the [music]
852. 38:47case. The charges were resolved in Anne
853. 38:50Arendel County Circuit Court, where
854. 38:52Summers was sentenced to 40 years in
855. 38:54prison with the first 5 years to be
856. 38:56served without the possibility of
857. 38:58parole. Given Summer's age [music] at
858. 39:00sentencing, prosecutors described the
859. 39:02term as effectively a life sentence. For
860. 39:05Morris family, [music] the sentence
861. 39:07marked the formal conclusion of a case
862. 39:08that began with a domestic dispute and
863. 39:10ended in permanent loss. For
864. 39:12investigators and prosecutors, the
865. 39:14outcome reflected how the justice system
866. 39:16ultimately classified [music] and
867. 39:17punished the conduct that led to Moore's
868. 39:19death. If you found this video
