515. 19:22the light,
516. 19:23what was it John doing?
517. 19:26He was like I was I was telling them I
518. 19:29was like, "Hey, don't come at me, you
519. 19:32know, I'm not like this is Florida. You
520. 19:35have a You have a three steps towards me
521. 19:37or I can defend myself." Okay. You know,
522. 19:40like if you can come at me three steps
523. 19:42threatening, then I can defend myself
524. 19:44because I don't know what you have or
525. 19:46what you are doing. Right. Just as much
526. 19:48as you don't you know, so.
527. 19:50Did they have any weapons? Were they
528. 19:53They were reaching, so I don't know if
529. 19:55they did. How were they reaching? They
530. 19:57were reaching in like in their pocket or
531. 19:59in their pants like they did have
532. 20:00something. Okay. But they never like
533. 20:03openly displayed any weapon that you
534. 20:05saw? I It looked like they were trying
535. 20:08to grab one. That's what it looked like
536. 20:09to me. Okay. But they never It looked
537. 20:12like they were, but they never did?
538. 20:14It looked like they were grabbing one,
539. 20:16yeah.
540. 20:17But did they ever grab one?
541. 20:19I didn't see one, but I saw them
542. 20:21grabbing. You saw them trying to get
543. 20:22just for the record, if you actually saw
544. 20:25a gun or a knife or anything? I just saw
545. 20:27them grabbing and they were close enough
546. 20:29to me where I didn't know I had to
547. 20:31protect myself. Okay. So, you drove away
548. 20:33to protect yourself?
549. 20:34>> I did. Okay.
550. 20:36And I guess
551. 20:38back up a little more.
552. 20:39Did you What did What was it John doing
553. 20:42when they when they were approaching
554. 20:44your car when the girl punched you? What
555. 20:46was his reaction to all of this? I don't
556. 20:48know. I wasn't paying attention. Okay.
557. 20:52And
558. 20:54as you're taking off,
559. 20:56was anything said? Anything further
560. 20:58said? Anything like that?
561. 21:00I don't even know.
562. 21:02I I drove off when I saw light turn
563. 21:05green. Okay.
564. 21:07Um
565. 21:08So, what was I going to keep myself in
566. 21:09that position?
567. 21:11You said you took off. Did you cut them
568. 21:13off to get away? Did you follow behind
569. 21:15them?
570. 21:16I went around them to get away. There
571. 21:18was a turning lane and I went in the
572. 21:20turning lane. Okay. And I turned.
573. 21:23I can't remember if I turned at that
574. 21:25light or I turned at a light to get away
575. 21:27from them. And then that's when I heard
576. 21:29cop cars and I saw a cop car in front of
577. 21:30me and I was like, "Oh, crap." And I I
578. 21:33just tried to pull off and we we smacked
579. 21:36each other on the side. Okay.
580. 21:39So,
581. 21:42and what happened after you hit the
582. 21:43officer?
583. 21:44Or the officer hit you. What happened
584. 21:46after that?
585. 21:47I stopped. The my steering wheel um
586. 21:51locked and I couldn't move my steering
587. 21:53wheel at all. So, I the truck went where
588. 21:55it went and I slammed on my brakes so I
589. 21:57didn't Mhm. mess anything else up and
590. 22:00then the cop came up to my vehicle and I
591. 22:01put my hands up.
592. 22:03Okay.
593. 22:04Um
594. 22:08Do you Are you Do you have a firearm?
595. 22:11Like do you own a firearm? Anything like
596. 22:13that? Nothing?
597. 22:15Does John own a firearm?
598. 22:17I don't know.
599. 22:18Okay.
600. 22:22So,
601. 22:23you're you're you're leaving out a lot
602. 22:25of key details.
603. 22:27Okay.
604. 22:31I'm just telling you everything that I
605. 22:32know. Yeah, I get your you're probably
606. 22:34scared. That's obviously something that
607. 22:36will but I I mean I just had some girl
608. 22:39come up and punch me in my face in my
609. 22:41truck. And I I live in the country. I'm
610. 22:44not the type of person that
611. 22:46appreciates that. I you know, so I might
612. 22:50defend myself when somebody is
613. 22:52threatening me or I feel like my life is
614. 22:54threatened. So, how did you defend
615. 22:55yourself tonight? I drove off. You know,
616. 22:58I I cuz I think she was mad that I
617. 23:00opened my door when she came up to my
618. 23:02door and she punched me in my face. Mhm.
619. 23:05And what like when I was going out like
620. 23:09it was an altercation. So, and
621. 23:14I just defended myself. I'm not going to
622. 23:16let somebody come up to me and hurt me
623. 23:19and threaten me.
624. 23:21So,
625. 23:22I have the right to protect myself. I
626. 23:25But you need you keep saying that, all
627. 23:26right? Driving off is not necessarily
628. 23:29protecting yourself. Protecting yourself
629. 23:30that's just leaving the area, okay? How
630. 23:33did you protect yourself? When she came
631. 23:35up to the vehicle, I protected myself.
632. 23:38How did you do that?
633. 23:41I when she hit me, I I protected myself.
634. 23:45I tried to get her away from me. Okay,
635. 23:47so how did you try to get her away from
636. 23:49you?
637. 23:51I
638. 23:52I just tried to get her away from me. I
639. 23:53don't even know how Did you push her
640. 23:56punch her? I didn't punch her. I know I
641. 23:58didn't punch her. So, how did you try to
642. 24:00get her away from you then? I was trying
643. 24:02to I was
644. 24:03maybe push I don't even know what I did.
645. 24:05I was just trying to get her away from
646. 24:06me. Just react with what you did. Like
647. 24:09maybe it was push I don't know if it was
648. 24:11pushing. I don't know how to I was just
649. 24:13trying to get her away from me and she
650. 24:15wouldn't. So, I'm
651. 24:17Did she just eventually walk away or
652. 24:21I I think maybe when she she did walk
653. 24:24away that's when her mom came up to me.
654. 24:26All I know is there was always somebody
655. 24:28in my face. Okay. None of them was
656. 24:30always in my face and when the light
657. 24:32turned green, I tried to drive off.
658. 24:35Okay.
659. 24:36And that's the only thing you did to
660. 24:37protect yourself?
661. 24:41Were they outside of your car when you
662. 24:43drove off? Like they were standing right
663. 24:44there when you drove off? The guys were
664. 24:46still outside of their car, yes, when I
665. 24:48drove off when the light turned green.
666. 24:50Okay.
667. 24:51So, let me ask you just kind of changing
668. 24:53directions, okay?
669. 24:55You said you haven't known Don that
670. 24:57long, is that correct? Not too long.
671. 24:59Okay, what's not too long?
672. 25:01Couple months, weeks?
673. 25:03Few months. Few months.
674. 25:05Do you love John?
675. 25:09No.
676. 25:10Okay.
677. 25:12Are you trying to protect John?
678. 25:15No, there's not really much to protect
679. 25:17him from.
680. 25:18I was protecting myself. Okay. Uh-huh.
681. 25:21So, y'all haven't been in a relationship
682. 25:23for 3 years? For 4 years?

688. 25:393-year anniversary? I was in Google.
689. 25:43Is that this dude?
690. 25:45You told me his name was John.
691. 25:50So, this
692. 25:51Miss Bell? Is that Bella? Bella. Okay.
693. 25:56I'm giving you
694. 25:58an opportunity to be very honest with me
695. 26:00tonight, okay?
696. 26:02I want the whole story from start to
697. 26:03finish what happened. John does not care
698. 26:05what happens to you tonight.
699. 26:07Okay? Don't forget
700. 26:10All right, that's why I asked if you
701. 26:11loved John cuz John doesn't seem like he
702. 26:13seems to care about you.
703. 26:17I need an honest from your side of the
704. 26:19story
705. 26:20what happened tonight.
706. 26:21>> I told you what happened. I just
707. 26:23defended myself.
708. 26:25And what? She came up to my vehicle
709. 26:28and I defended myself.
710. 26:30That is what happened.
711. 26:32Did you feel like your life was in
712. 26:33danger? Yes, I did. There was four
713. 26:35people coming out of that vehicle and I
714. 26:38am one person one person with me.
715. 26:41I know who who they are, what they have
716. 26:44on them.
717. 26:45>> Did John do anything to defend himself
718. 26:47or you? Yes, he just defended to defend
719. 26:51We had to defend ourselves. They were
720. 26:52coming up to our vehicle.
721. 26:54>> How did John defend?
722. 26:57I I don't even know. He defended how he
723. 26:59felt he needed to defend.
724. 27:01I think you
725. 27:02Just being honest with you, okay? I
726. 27:04think you're real.
727. 27:06And I think you're really scared to talk
728. 27:07tonight.
729. 27:09Okay?
730. 27:15If you didn't do what had happened,
731. 27:16John's already in trouble. You know
732. 27:18that.
733. 27:19Okay?
734. 27:20You know that, right?
735. 27:24I don't know.
736. 27:25We defended ourselves.
737. 27:27Okay, what did John do to defend? You
738. 27:29can say I don't know. I know you know.
739. 27:32Okay?
740. 27:33He defended himself. How did he I do not
741. 27:35know. We defended ourselves. Okay, and
742. 27:36that's fine. If you felt like your life
743. 27:38was in danger, that's okay. Okay?
744. 27:41But how I need your honest story of what
745. 27:43did you do to defend? What did John do
746. 27:45to defend y'all? We defended ourselves.
747. 27:47>> What What action did you take to defend?
748. 27:50I don't know. I drove off.
749. 27:52I That's all I remember is me driving
750. 27:54off.
751. 27:55And then there was cops.
752. 27:58What did John do?
753. 28:00He was He was in passenger to me. I was
754. 28:02driving. You said John had to defend us.
755. 28:04We had to defend ourselves.
756. 28:06>> Okay. What action did you take to
757. 28:08defend? Driving away is not defending
758. 28:09yourself. That's
759. 28:11You're removing yourself from a
760. 28:12dangerous situation. That's not
761. 28:13necessarily defending yourself.
762. 28:19I'm saying when they came up to our car,
763. 28:21we had to defend ourselves. And how did
764. 28:23you do that?
765. 28:25I defended myself with what I had on me.
766. 28:28What did you have on you?
767. 28:30Me.
768. 28:36What What did you do? Did you push her?
769. 28:38Did you punch her? I did not punch her.
770. 28:41I tried to get her away from me. I don't
771. 28:43know if I pushed her. I know I didn't
772. 28:45swing on her. I know I didn't punch her.
773. 28:47I tried to get her away from me. And
774. 28:49then her mom came up to me and there was
775. 28:50two dudes coming out of the car. There
776. 28:52was a whole bunch of people coming out
777. 28:54of the car.
778. 28:56I didn't know what was going on.
779. 29:08It's a very difficult situation when you
780. 29:10have people coming at you. And I don't
781. 29:12disagree. I I I don't know what they had
782. 29:14on them. Like they were reaching for
783. 29:16something.
784. 29:17I didn't know what they had on them or
785. 29:19who what type of person they were.
786. 29:22Okay. So, obviously you felt like your
787. 29:23life was in danger cuz from what you
788. 29:25know they're reaching for something. And
789. 29:27a And a
790. 29:28a normal person thinks like well they're
791. 29:30reaching for a gun or a knife, right?
792. 29:33That's the realistic thing everyone
793. 29:34thinks of.
794. 29:38So,
795. 29:39what you can you say I don't know I
796. 29:42don't know. I need you to just sit there
797. 29:44and try to remember
798. 29:46what action did you and John take to
799. 29:48defend yourselves?
800. 29:58I defended myself.
801. 30:00Was it worth killing somebody over? You
802. 30:02know somebody died tonight. I would not
803. 30:04know that. That's what y'all are looking
804. 30:05at right now. So, either you're going to
805. 30:07start telling us the truth or you're
806. 30:09going to keep lying and dig yourself in
807. 30:11a deeper hole. I did not I was defending
808. 30:14myself.
809. 30:15>> ourselves.
810. 30:16Did she deserve to die? No. I I don't
811. 30:19know that. Tell us what happened. Tell
812. 30:20us about that. How did she die?
813. 30:22I don't know. You were there.
814. 30:27You were there.
815. 30:29I defended myself. Somebody got out of
816. 30:31their car coming at me. Okay. So, here
817. 30:33here's how this flows.
818. 30:35Okay. We have a female who's dead in the
819. 30:37hospital.
820. 30:39We have another female who looks like
821. 30:41she's is to die too. That's two
822. 30:42homicides.
823. 30:44I need to know how did you defend
824. 30:46yourself?
825. 30:48I defended myself.
826. 30:50>> Why is that?
827. 30:52What is I defended myself?
828. 30:55I was trying to defend How did these two
829. 30:57females end up basically one female dead
830. 31:00and I have another daughter who's
831. 31:01probably about to die. I want to know

1127. 42:18that. That's perfectly legal to have it
1128. 42:20for protection.
1129. 42:21I guess the person who you knew he had a
1130. 42:23gun and he lives with you in the truck.
1131. 42:25So, the truck is the gun home
1132. 42:27essentially.

1135. 42:34the truck?

1158. 43:25what it looks like?
1159. 43:28What does it look like?
1160. 43:30It looked like a pistol.

1187. 44:33he pulled it. Did you hit their vehicle
1188. 44:35when you was driving around it? No, no.
1189. 44:39When did you first hear the shots?
1190. 44:42When I started driving.
1191. 44:45When you first started driving Mhm.
1192. 44:48When you started around their vehicle,
1193. 44:51going around their vehicle? When I
1194. 44:53started driving, that's when I just
1195. 44:55remember
1196. 44:59Look, we're not trying to hit you up on
1197. 45:00something, but we just need the truth.
1198. 45:01We have somebody that died, okay?
1199. 45:04We got another person that we don't know
1200. 45:05if he's going to make it.
1201. 45:08All right. I mean,
1202. 45:11is he your boyfriend?
1203. 45:14He is your boyfriend?
1204. 45:16How long you've been together?
1205. 45:17Not that long.
1206. 45:19What, a few months?
1207. 45:23Not two months,
1208. 45:25like about a year.
1209. 45:27Since August of last year.
1210. 45:30Is he hot-headed? No.
1211. 45:33He's not hot-headed? No, he's not. He's
1212. 45:36a protector. He's a protector?
1213. 45:40Do you think driving by a vehicle that
1214. 45:42people are already inside their vehicle
1215. 45:44not a threat to you at all?
1216. 45:47And then he decides he's going to
1217. 45:48discharge his firearm there and kill him
1218. 45:50somebody?
1219. 45:54Is that protecting? No, right. What do
1220. 45:56you mean you didn't know? You sitting in
1221. 45:58the truck driving.
1222. 46:00You're going around a vehicle, not a
1223. 46:03threat to you, not
1224. 46:04at all.
1225. 46:07They weren't a threat to you once they
1226. 46:08got back in their vehicle.
1227. 46:10I understand you got punched in the
1228. 46:11face. I don't know. They I feel like
1229. 46:13they had weapons on them there. I feel
1230. 46:15like they were about to grab something.
1231. 46:17How would you know they're inside their
1232. 46:18vehicle?
1233. 46:20I don't know. It was when they were out.
1234. 46:23When they were out, you got punched in
1235. 46:24the face. When you got punched in the
1236. 46:26face, did you see a gun in their hand?
1237. 46:27No. Okay.
1238. 46:30The light turns green, he gets back
1239. 46:31inside their vehicle, you decide to
1240. 46:33drive around their vehicle, all around
1241. 46:36their vehicle, okay?
1242. 46:38And then you shoot at them.
1243. 46:40Inside their vehicle.
1244. 46:43They were inside their vehicle.
1245. 46:49How can you say that's self-defense?
1246. 46:57I don't know why this all happened. All
1247. 46:58I know is what I told you. Okay.
1248. 47:04Do you feel bad for these victims? Yes,
1249. 47:06but
1250. 47:08I don't even know who it was. What would
1251. 47:10you tell the victims' family?
1252. 47:13I don't know what to tell them.
1253. 47:18Do you understand the situation you're
1254. 47:20in?
1255. 47:21I'm trying to.
1256. 47:26All for a guy that you've only known for
1257. 47:28a few months.
1258. 47:31And for a person to sit there and do
1259. 47:32what he did tonight, you can't sit here
1260. 47:35and tell me he ain't a hothead.
1261. 47:48You got anything else? Has he ever tried
1262. 47:50to protect you before? You said you guys
1263. 47:51have had to protect yourselves in the
1264. 47:52past. What happened with those?
1265. 47:58It's
1266. 47:59just somebody
1267. 48:01It was just some kind of just like, you
1268. 48:03know,
1269. 48:05not really enraged, but just just
1270. 48:07somebody just being rude.
1271. 48:09Trying to come at me and
1272. 48:11threatening me.
1273. 48:14Did John pull a gun on them then?
1274. 48:17No.
1275. 48:18I
1276. 48:20I had um
1277. 48:21I had a knife on me at the time.
1278. 48:24And I pulled it and I told him to not
1279. 48:26come near me.
1280. 48:27What time? Where did that happen at?
1281. 48:30It was about like
1282. 48:31It was at a campground that we were
1283. 48:33staying at and it was just like some
1284. 48:37crackhead and you know,
1285. 48:39it was I don't know. They were want They
1286. 48:40were trying to like take my stuff
1287. 48:42and steal from me, you know, and I
1288. 48:47So, when these officers pulled up behind
1289. 48:49you, did you would you assume that it
1290. 48:52was for you? That it was for what had
1291. 48:54just happened?
1292. 48:55I had just thought
1293. 48:57I don't even know. I I just remember
1294. 48:59seeing an officer in front of me.
1295. 49:03Okay.
1296. 49:04Was John telling you to drive faster to
1297. 49:06get out of here?
1298. 49:08Not that I remember. I was just I just
1299. 49:11made that turn cuz that's where we were
1300. 49:13going home.
1301. 49:14I heard the cop cars and by the time I
1302. 49:16realized that there was one in front of
1303. 49:17me
1304. 49:19and
1305. 49:21and we smashed together and my wheel
1306. 49:23locked.
1307. 49:27So, obviously John, you and John are
1308. 49:29facing some probably the most serious
1309. 49:31charges, right?
1310. 49:35Okay.
1311. 49:36This is obviously going to go to court,
1312. 49:38okay?
1313. 49:39When the judge and the attorneys and the
1314. 49:42jury are watching this interview,
1315. 49:44okay, cuz we're going to do search
1316. 49:45warrants, right? We are going to dig
1317. 49:47into your phones. We're going to dig
1318. 49:49into your truck. We're going to dig into
1319. 49:51you and John's past, okay?
1320. 49:54Is any of this not true?
1321. 49:57That you had just met John, that you
1322. 49:58have been off and on. Because here's
1323. 50:00what We've just been off and on for a
1324. 50:02while now. For years or months?
1325. 50:06Probably a few years now. Okay.
1326. 50:08Is there anything I know specially is
1327. 50:10that ties y'all to being together for
1328. 50:12years? Text messages, friends, because
1329. 50:14we're going to we we talk to everybody.
1330. 50:16Somebody's Somebody got killed tonight.
1331. 50:18We're going to do
1332. 50:20Okay. Is John your only friend then?
1333. 50:23Pretty much.
1334. 50:24Okay.
1335. 50:25And here's where I'm getting with this,
1336. 50:27okay?
1337. 50:28Here's a little bit
1338. 50:30when you lie, obviously, right?
1339. 50:34So when we start digging into these
1340. 50:35things, then we can take your story
1341. 50:37apart.
1342. 50:38If you know you get what I'm saying?
1343. 50:43I didn't know somebody died. So I know
1344. 50:45you know you know you know somebody
1345. 50:46died.
1346. 50:48What was the conversation you and John
1347. 50:49had in the truck?
1348. 50:51Where did you see him pulling the gun
1349. 50:53from?
1350. 50:54I didn't see him.
1351. 50:57But what did he say to you when you were
1352. 50:58driving off?
1353. 51:01I I don't really even know. I
1354. 51:05When you heard the shots, you didn't say
1355. 51:06what was that or anything like that?
1356. 51:09Like what are you doing?
1357. 51:11Or were you like, "Yeah, that's what I
1358. 51:13want. Shoot him up." No, I
1359. 51:16I don't even know.
1360. 51:28I don't know. I just remember hearing
1361. 51:30it. I I was always driving off and I
1362. 51:34And then I heard cop cars and
1363. 51:38When did you hear the cop car?
1364. 51:40When I turned down the street.
1365. 51:44So how come you didn't in, over and call
1366. 51:46911 and John just shot at this car.
1367. 51:50I don't know. It It all happened so
1368. 51:52fast. He was Is it cuz he knew what he
1369. 51:54knew was wrong?
1370. 51:59Let me ask you a question. Do you think
1371. 52:01what he did was wrong?
1372. 52:04In any way? I don't think somebody
1373. 52:07deserved to die. No, I just He was
1374. 52:10protecting me. I thought he was
1375. 52:12protecting me. But like my partner
1376. 52:14already said, they're already back in
1377. 52:15their vehicles.
1378. 52:19You can no longer claim self-defense
1379. 52:21when somebody has already left and
1380. 52:22they're getting back in their vehicles.
1381. 52:24Do you think what John did was wrong?
1382. 52:29I don't know.
1383. 52:38Do you care about this man?
1384. 52:44Yeah.
1385. 52:46Do you care about him enough to lie for
1386. 52:48him? No.
1387. 52:54I just don't know.
1388. 52:55I was just How old are you, Belle? 21.
1389. 52:5821.
1390. 53:00And like I said, we're not trying to hem
1391. 53:02you up with nothing, okay?
1392. 53:05But looking at the whole picture,
1393. 53:07y'all got yourself in a mess.
1394. 53:10And all we want is the truth. And when
1395. 53:12you go in front of a jury, like she
1396. 53:13says, in front of a jury, judge, and
1397. 53:15state attorney, they're going to want to
1398. 53:17see the truth. If you're If you're
1399. 53:19looked at as a liar, it doesn't It
1400. 53:21doesn't go good for you, okay?
1401. 53:24I know there was a conversation after
1402. 53:25after he shot the gun.
1403. 53:27He was probably telling you to keep
1404. 53:29running when the police pulled up behind
1405. 53:31you.
1406. 53:33It's probably better that you were
1407. 53:35driving cuz there's no telling what he
1408. 53:36would have done. Because he just shot at
1409. 53:38somebody, ain't no telling what he would
1410. 53:39have done.
1411. 53:43And thank God he didn't decide to start
1412. 53:45shooting at officers cuz both both of
1413. 53:47y'all would have been dead at this
1414. 53:49point.
1415. 53:59You're 21.
1416. 54:01And you're with a guy that just killed
1417. 54:03somebody.
1418. 54:05And what looks bad for you is is the
1419. 54:08fact that when police got behind you you
1420. 54:09got going.
1421. 54:13Were you scared of someone? Was he
1422. 54:15telling you to keep going? What was that
1423. 54:17conversation?
1424. 54:18I don't remember there being a
1425. 54:20conversation.
1426. 54:22I just So, you wanted to run from the
1427. 54:24police then. You wanted to leave these
1428. 54:26people bleeding out dead and dying. So,
1429. 54:28then what was the What made you want to
1430. 54:30keep going?
1431. 54:32I just don't know. I
1432. 54:34Now, let me ask you this, okay?
1433. 54:37We are going to go talk to John.
1434. 54:39Okay? Now, is John going to try to
1435. 54:41defend you as much as you're trying to
1436. 54:43defend him at this moment?
1437. 54:46When we throw these charges and when we
1438. 54:48when when we throw these charges in
1439. 54:50front of him,
1440. 54:52you think he's going to sit there and
1441. 54:53say,
1442. 54:54"Oh, I was trying to get her to stop. I
1443. 54:56was trying to do this and do that and do
1444. 54:57this."
1445. 54:59No, he's going to hell, no. He's going
1446. 55:00to say she kept running.
1447. 55:06When you see an officer in front of you,
1448. 55:07why didn't you just stop?
1449. 55:13No, I I I saw
1450. 55:15>> I can tell you why. I can tell you why.
1451. 55:17Cuz you're trying to get away.
1452. 55:19That's why you hit his vehicle.
1453. 55:21>> I I couldn't stop. That's why you hit
1454. 55:24his vehicle.
1455. 55:29That that at any point
1456. 55:31when the officers were were after you or
1457. 55:33whatever, coming behind you, when you
1458. 55:35see an officer right directly in front
1459. 55:38of you, that was a point if you needed
1460. 55:39to stop. Would you agree?
1461. 55:42I thought I tried. You thought you
1462. 55:44tried. You never slowed down. You never
1463. 55:47slowed down. What about when the
1464. 55:49officers are chasing you around the
1465. 55:50parking lot? Why didn't you stop then?
1466. 55:55I I just remember seeing the one in
1467. 55:57front of me.
1468. 55:59Okay.
1469. 56:00Well, here here's what we're looking at,
1470. 56:01Bella, okay?
1471. 56:03I This is 2025.
1472. 56:05Almost every inch of America is covered
1473. 56:07in a camera.
1474. 56:09Not only that, do we have police
1475. 56:10officers.
1476. 56:12Not only that, we have other witnesses.
1477. 56:14We have people that are staying in the
1478. 56:16hotel five floors up that watched the
1479. 56:18whole thing.
1480. 56:20You did not want to stop for the police,
1481. 56:21did you?
1482. 56:23Because you know that your boyfriend had
1483. 56:25just shot up the car.
1484. 56:28I didn't know he killed somebody. I
1485. 56:30didn't ask you if he killed somebody. I
1486. 56:31didn't ask you if you knew he killed
1487. 56:33somebody. You knew he had No, he shot up
1488. 56:35the car. You You just admitted that.
1489. 56:38Bella I didn't know he had shot at the
1490. 56:41car.
1491. 56:43Where did you think he was shooting at?
1492. 56:45The ground or something. It didn't seem
1493. 56:47I Okay, that's And how is that different
1494. 56:49than him shooting at You're defending
1495. 56:50yourself that he's shooting at the
1496. 56:52ground. How would that defend you if he
1497. 56:55killed him? Like the like the tires or
1498. 56:57something so they couldn't like fault
1499. 56:59like I thought. That's what I thought.
1500. 57:02Okay, regardless what he shot at, okay?
1501. 57:04We We can't unless that's what he shot
1502. 57:05at, okay? He shot a gun, okay? You know
1503. 57:08he shot a gun, right? Am I Am I correct?
1504. 57:11Okay. So, you know that's against the
1505. 57:12law. So, when you took off, you knowing
1506. 57:15him shooting a gun is against the law,
1507. 57:17right?
1508. 57:19You understand that? I Yeah, I did.
1509. 57:21Okay. So, you've got that in your head,
1510. 57:23okay? You know your boyfriend just shot
1511. 57:25a gun. I don't care less where where you
1512. 57:27thought he was shooting it at, but you
1513. 57:29know he shot a gun, right?
1514. 57:31Okay. So, when the police got behind
1515. 57:33you, what she's asking you when the
1516. 57:35police got behind you, you wanted to run
1517. 57:37because you knew he just got done
1518. 57:39shooting a gun. It doesn't I don't care
1519. 57:42what you thought he shot at. You ran
1520. 57:44because he just shot his gun.
1521. 57:48It's all on video. From the moment you
1522. 57:51your boyfriend shot that gun killing
1523. 57:54somebody, all the way up to the moment
1524. 57:56you got caught, every single bit of it
1525. 57:58is on video. So, you want to sit here
1526. 58:01and lie that you didn't know the police
1527. 58:03was behind you?
1528. 58:05They was right behind you.
1529. 58:09And then the one that was coming up in
1530. 58:11front of you,
1531. 58:14that's when I would have stopped.
1532. 58:16But, you took it upon yourself to ram
1533. 58:18him to get away.
1534. 58:23Was John telling you to get away? Did
1535. 58:25you want to stop and John was telling
1536. 58:26you to keep going?
1537. 58:30Cuz Bella, here's how the picture's
1538. 58:31painted for me in the court right now,
1539. 58:33okay? The picture's painted that you got
1540. 58:36pissed off at somebody on the road.
1541. 58:38Okay?
1542. 58:39You and John got mad enough where John
1543. 58:41shot up a car, even if you're saying you
1544. 58:44oh, I didn't know he shot up a car,
1545. 58:45regardless, you knew John had shot at
1546. 58:47this vehicle. After John shot this
1547. 58:49vehicle, you took off, ran from the
1548. 58:51police officers, rammed your car into
1549. 58:54the one of my fellow officers.
1550. 58:57Okay? All the way away to cover you and
1551. 58:59John. That's how the picture is painted.
1552. 59:03That's how it's going to look.
1553. 59:05You shot and killed somebody, tried to
1554. 59:07get away from it, and then you tried to
1555. 59:08ram an officer with your car.
1556. 59:14Bella, you're 21 years old. You will
1557. 59:16never get out of prison on these
1558. 59:17charges.
1559. 59:45>> Is there anything else you want to say
1560. 59:46to us, Bella?
1561. 59:50Okay.
1562. 59:53Are you sorry, Bella? Yeah, I I I
1563. 59:56I don't know. I really don't even know
1564. 59:59what's going on right now. How do you
1565. 1:00:00not know what's going on? I'm trying to
1566. 1:00:02process it and
1567. 1:00:06Well, I want you to what
1568. 1:00:08when you get to the jail, I need you to
1569. 1:00:10really process this whole thing.
1570. 1:00:15Okay.
1571. 1:00:17Cuz I'm going to tell you I'm going to
1572. 1:00:19tell you straight up. One person's dead.
1573. 1:00:22The other person that come and punch you
1574. 1:00:23in the face,
1575. 1:00:25we don't know if she's going to live
1576. 1:00:26through tonight.
1577. 1:00:28Okay?
1578. 1:00:29There was other vehicles struck by him
1579. 1:00:31and you.
1580. 1:00:33All right. And then you ran over a
1581. 1:00:35police officer.
1582. 1:00:38All of this is serious stuff, okay?
1583. 1:00:41Every bit of it serious. It's not a
1584. 1:00:42joke. It's not a dream. It's not a
1585. 1:00:44nightmare. It's real life right now
1586. 1:00:47here.
1587. 1:00:48You know? And if you're worried about
1588. 1:00:50John, well, you don't got to worry about
1589. 1:00:51him no more cuz you're probably never
1590. 1:00:53going to see him again.
1591. 1:00:57You know, all we're asking is for simple
1592. 1:00:59truth. If I know. If he told you to keep
1593. 1:01:01running, if he told you to keep running
1594. 1:01:03or whatever, then it is what it is. If
1595. 1:01:06not, if that's fine, too. You know, I'm
1596. 1:01:08not trying to put words in your mouth.
1597. 1:01:10All right. If you want to say here say

1604. 1:01:21see what he has to say about you, okay?
1605. 1:01:24I think he did.

1691. 1:04:21minutes, all right?
1692. 1:04:29In the end, this case moved far beyond
1693. 1:04:31the first chaotic moments on the
1694. 1:04:32roadway.
1695. 1:04:34What started as a confrontation between
1696. 1:04:36people in two vehicles
1697. 1:04:37>> [music]
1698. 1:04:37>> became a deadly shooting that took the
1699. 1:04:39life of Georgianna Garner,
1700. 1:04:41left her daughter Mary Lee Lewis
1701. 1:04:42critically injured, [music]
1702. 1:04:44and changed multiple families forever.
1703. 1:04:46For the surviving victims, this was not
1704. 1:04:49just a brief encounter in traffic.
1705. 1:04:51It became the moment that divided
1706. 1:04:52[music] life into before and after.
1707. 1:04:55For investigators, the case came down to
1708. 1:04:57what happened after that confrontation,
1709. 1:04:59the gunfire [music] that followed, the
1710. 1:05:01pursuit from the scene, and the evidence
1711. 1:05:03recovered along the way.
1712. 1:05:05Prosecutors later said the firearm
1713. 1:05:07[music] was thrown into a drainage ditch
1714. 1:05:08during the chase, recovered by police,
1715. 1:05:11and connected to the shooting through
1716. 1:05:13forensic testing. Jubal John Simmons
1717. 1:05:15[music] was ultimately found guilty of
1718. 1:05:17second-degree murder with a firearm,
1719. 1:05:19three counts of attempted second-degree
1720. 1:05:21murder with a firearm, two counts of
1721. 1:05:24shooting into an occupied vehicle,
1722. 1:05:25[music]
1723. 1:05:26and one count of discharging a firearm
1724. 1:05:28from a vehicle.
1725. 1:05:29He was sentenced to two consecutive
1726. 1:05:31[music] life terms, along with
1727. 1:05:33additional consecutive prison sentences.
1728. 1:05:35As of the available custody information,
1729. 1:05:37[music]
1730. 1:05:38Simmons was listed in Florida Department
1731. 1:05:40of Corrections custody. His
1732. 1:05:41co-defendant, [music]
1733. 1:05:43Ivy Bellet Encino, was also convicted.
1734. 1:05:46Prosecutors said [music] she was driving
1735. 1:05:47the truck as Simmons fired from it, and
1736. 1:05:50she was found guilty of accessory after
1737. 1:05:52the [music] fact charges and fleeing and
1738. 1:05:54attempting to elude.
1739. 1:05:56At sentencing, Encino received 15 years
1740. 1:05:58for accessory [music] after the fact and
1741. 1:06:0015 years for fleeing and attempting to
1742. 1:06:02elude, with those sentences running at
1743. 1:06:04the same time, followed by 5 years of
1744. 1:06:06probation. But for the people who lived
1745. 1:06:09through this case, the sentence does not
1746. 1:06:11erase what happened on February 22nd,
1747. 1:06:132025. [music]
1748. 1:06:15A road rage encounter lasted only
1749. 1:06:17moments. The consequences will last a
1750. 1:06:19lifetime.
