"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.

1:03:03
Grigson testified for...
1:03:06
two and a half hours
about all these degrees he's got.

1:03:10
He's been here, and he's been there,
and he's studied here.

1:03:14
He called me Charlie Manson.
1:03:17
He called me Adolf Hitler.
1:03:19
He said I'm the type of personality...
1:03:22
that can work all day and creep all night.
1:03:27
He testified, Grigson...
1:03:34
that the future seriousness...
1:03:37
of my mental state...
1:03:39
would be such that if they released me...
1:03:42
I would go crazy and
probably butcher half of Dallas County.

1:03:45
Even though he talked to me 15 minutes...
1:03:48
I have no prior convictions,
no prior arrests...

1:03:51
I was nonviolent for 28 years.
1:03:54
On one instance...
1:03:55
and that's saying if I did this,
which I didn't...

1:03:59
he's stating that, that's enough...
For the rest of my life, watch me.
