They don't care.
1:07:05
All they want to do is talk about
how they're going to kill you.

1:07:08
That's the only thing that they cared
about and talked about.

1:07:13
At that point, that's all they're wanting.
1:07:21
I didn't have any idea
what happened to him.

1:07:26
After I testified, I was gone.
1:07:30
I never really concerned myself with it.
1:07:38
Maybe I didn't want to know. I don't know.
1:07:42
I didn't have any interest in knowing...
1:07:44
otherwise I might have tried to find out.
1:07:50
Dennis filed the motion for a new trial...
1:07:52
then we filed an amended motion
for a new trial.

1:07:55
About 20 days later,
we were to have a hearing on it.

1:07:58
Both Robert Miller and his wife
testified there.

1:08:01
But we could not bring out the fact...
1:08:03
that they had said that they were
gonna get that reward money...

1:08:07
and that they didn't care
whether they saw anything or not...

1:08:10
but their car was too steamed up.
1:08:13
We were not allowed to get any of that in...
1:08:15
because it was held
that it was impeaching testimony...

1:08:18
and therefore it came too late.
1:08:20
We kept running into blank walls.
1:08:25
A reporter from the Dallas Morning News...
1:08:28
discovered that one week
after the trial was over with...

1:08:32
the daughter of this woman
had a robbery case in this court.

1:08:36
She offered her testimony...
1:08:37
at a time when her daughter
was in danger of going to jail for life...

1:08:41
and got her daughter out of jail.
1:08:43
How can you believe her...
1:08:45
when the very next week
the same judge dismisses that case?

1:08:51
The Millers are the kind of people
that would do anything...

1:08:55
if there was something to be gained...
1:08:58
such as her daughter not being sent
to the penitentiary for armed robbery...
