I made my boxes and X's...
1:01:05
and zeros with diamonds in it.
Exactly like his.

1:01:10
He asked me...
1:01:12
"What's the meaning of
'A rolling stone gathers no moss?"'

1:01:17
I'm looking at this man.
1:01:19
I said, "Are you kidding? Is this
a joke? What are you doing?"

1:01:22
He said, "No, I really want to know
your answer to that question."

1:01:27
I said, well,
"A rolling stone gathers no moss."

1:01:30
I said, "To me...
1:01:32
"it would represent that a person
that doesn't stand still long enough...

1:01:36
"it's kind of hard for people to cling to him.
1:01:39
"If he keeps moving around,
it's hard to get close to him."

1:01:43
He shook his head.
1:01:45
He said, "What about 'A bird in
the hand is worth two in the bush"'?

1:01:50
I said, "If you have a hold of
something, why give it up...

1:01:53
"for a chance of getting something
that might be a little better?

1:01:57
"It doesn't make sense. You've got
something good, why let go of it?

1:02:00
"If you can get the other one,
get it if you can...

1:02:02
"but don't let go of what you got
to try to get something else."

1:02:07
He asked about my family.
1:02:09
He asked about my background.
1:02:13
And he left.
1:02:15
Total time we had talked,
maybe 15, 20 minutes.

1:02:21
Dr. Grigson was up there testifying
he would commit violent crimes...

1:02:25
in the future if he was released.
1:02:27
Grigson is known as "Dr. Death"
because he always testifies that way.

1:02:32
In about 99% of the trials...
1:02:34
that he's been a witness for the
prosecution, he always testifies...

1:02:37
that they will commit
violent crimes in the future.

1:02:41
You can't tell what
somebody's gonna do years from now.

1:02:45
Not really.
1:02:47
Except based on your past record,
which anybody can do.

1:02:54
Randall never had any prior record.
1:02:57
And as far as we know, he never had
any history of violence whatever.
