:07:01
I do not like looking down
the barrel of a pistol.

:07:05
I do not like being threatened.
:07:08
When he finally saw
that he would either have to kill me...

:07:12
or forget the signature...
:07:13
I guess he forgot the signature,
because he put his pistol up.

:07:17
He took the pistol on the table,
put it up and stormed out.

:07:23
I had a casual, friendly conversation
with him to start with...

:07:27
to try to size him up...
:07:29
to see what he liked and what he didn't like.
:07:34
I found almost immediately
that he didn't have much conscience.

:07:37
Anything he had done,
it never really bothered him.

:07:42
He had done other things
that he told me about...

:07:45
that didn't seem to bother him in the least.
:07:47
He showed no expression whatsoever.
:07:51
It's just like he's sitting here
talking about the color of this wall...

:07:57
or the shooting of the police officer.
:08:01
He showed no reaction
to any of the questions.

:08:08
He almost overacted his innocence.
:08:11
He protested he hadn't done anything.
:08:13
Couldn't imagine
why we were bringing him in.

:08:18
He didn't fight or he didn't resist.
:08:21
He just protested his innocence.
:08:23
I told them what happened that
Saturday, that I had met this kid.

:08:28
I kept telling them the same thing.
:08:32
They didn't want to believe me.
:08:35
Never once was I allowed a phone call.
:08:38
Never once was an attorney there.
:08:41
I don't know how long this had been.
:08:43
I had smoked two packs of cigarettes
and had been out for a long time.
