:31:00
And to everyone's amazement,
the most popular boy liked her.
:31:03
State pole-vaulting champ.
:31:06
You'd watch him go over
that bar in the sunlight...
:31:11
...that golden body, it was like...
:31:13
...life just couldn't get
any more beautiful than that.
:31:16
And it didn't.
:31:18
She was 16 when she married him.
:31:22
Seventeen when he knocked out
her upper bicuspid.
:31:24
Eighteen when she decided to leave.
:31:26
He put her in the hospital
with a serious concussion.
:31:29
A week later, when she got out...
:31:31
...she started packing,
and he was drunk.
:31:36
He pointed his finger at her. He said,
''You try that again, l'll kill you.''
:31:41
He took another drink...
:31:44
...and she headed for the door.
:31:49
Why didn't she wait till he was out?
Left for work?
:31:51
She couldn't,
she had to go right then.
:31:54
-Why then?
-l don't know.
:32:01
lt was because....
:32:04
Because she....
:32:07
lt wasn't about getting away from him,
it was about standing up to him.
:32:11
Even if it killed her.
:32:16
l guess so.
:32:21
So he stabbed her 17 times
with a kitchen knife...
:32:24
...and dumped her body
on a country road.
:32:27
Yeah, ruined my favorite dress.
:32:31
Carl Hudson.
:32:34
Cutest boy l ever saw...
:32:39
...until Richard Haywood.
:32:42
And you're supposed to testify
at Carl's parole hearing.
:32:44
What are you gonna say?
:32:47
Nothing. l'm not going.
:32:51

:32:52
-You gotta go up there, you have to.
-No. l don't have to.
:32:56
The girl was Jessica Marie Hudson.

:32:58
-You just inherited her scars.
-Look, l made a deal.
