"Dear Stan, the book is
Joe, 14, and his uncle.

:07:12
I think I'd like you to send me
something, sort of good faith,

:07:17
and I will forward this rather
precious book to you.

:07:20
Thanks, Arnie. "
:07:24
See, it's very hard
to believe that

:07:27
this so-called "good
marriage" was so disturbed.

:07:33
He sent him these pictures,
and he sent him a note

:07:37
that I remember, because
the lawyer got the note.

:07:41
And then he wrote, "Enjoy. "
:07:49
Since he had sent
the magazine,

:07:51
he was always asking
for it back.

:07:52
So I asked the prosecutors,
"Let's grant him his wish.

:07:56
He wants his magazine back. "
:07:57
I dressed up as a mail carrier,
knocked on his door,

:08:00
asked him if he was
Arnold Friedman.

:08:02
He replied he was.
:08:04
And I said, "I have
a package for you.

:08:11
We would give him some
time with the magazine.

:08:15
I'm dressed now.
:08:16
I just put a blue suit jacket
over the carrier's uniform.

:08:19
And I told him, "I have a search
warrant for child pornography. "

:08:22
He says, "There's nothin'
like that here. "

:08:25
And I said,
"You don't recognize me?"

:08:27
I'd just been at
his door an hour ago.

:08:29
He goes, "No. "
:08:30
And I took off my jacket, and I
said, "Now do you recognize me?"

:08:33
"Oh, yeah. Oh, okay.
The magazine is upstairs. "

:08:38
So we went up to his bedroom.
:08:40
In the top dresser door
was the open magazine.

:08:44
Well, he thought we would take
the magazine and leave,

:08:46
and I said, "No, we have
a search warrant.

:08:48
We're gonna search the whole
house for child pornography. "

:08:54
And around that time
his wife showed up.

:08:57
I thought they were
