David thought that the one
that was really at fault that night...
1:24:06
was the guy that got killed.
He said, "That guy's crazy.
1:24:09
"He came after me with a gun."
1:24:11
I told him,
"David, you'd broken into his house...
1:24:13
"you abducted his girlfriend,
what was he supposed to do?"
1:24:16
He said,
"Man shouldn't come out with a gun.
1:24:19
"That dude's crazy.
He should have been killed."
1:24:24
When we went to retrieve the pistol...
1:24:27
I had to go into the water to get it.
1:24:29
It was a bayou and it was grassy,
snaky-looking area.
1:24:31
I was not real pleased
about being there myself...
1:24:34
but David enjoyed watching me have to
go down there and look for the gun.
1:24:37
I'd been searching several minutes,
he was up on the bridge...
1:24:41
and probably 25 feet from me...
1:24:43
directing me to where he thought
that the gun had landed in the water.
1:24:50
He was handcuffed.
1:24:51
Traffic would come by,
and he would turn around...
1:24:54
and show them his handcuffs
and holler at them, "Help me!
1:24:57
"The officials will throw me
in this water and drown me."
1:25:00
Just anything he could do
to make a joke and cut up out there.
1:25:03
He was just really having a good time.
1:25:09
The kid scares me.
1:25:12
To think that he could actually be
out there, walking the streets...
1:25:16
and Dallas County let him go.
1:25:19
The kid had seven crimes
coming down on him.
1:25:23
He had armed robberies.
He had firing on a peace officer.
1:25:27
He had breaking and enterings,
aggravated assaults.
1:25:30
God knows what all this kid had.
1:25:32
And Dallas County gives him
complete immunity for his testimony.
1:25:35
Just lets him walk.
1:25:47
My mom had a good phrase.
1:25:49
She said the first night
she pulled into Dallas, it was raining...
1:25:53
and that it was lightning.
1:25:55
And they're coming into Dallas...
1:25:57
and she said if there was ever
a hell on earth, it's Dallas County.
