:37:03
I can't trust.
:37:04
She runs around, "Arnie,
they don't trust me. "

:37:06
Well, we don't trust her.
:37:08
We lived with her for 3, for 2
months while you were in jail,

:37:11
and we learned not to trust her.
:37:13
David had just gotten a video
camera when this case broke,

:37:17
and so he just started recording
the family falling apart.

:37:25
And Mommy believes them,
and I don't.

:37:28
I tell them to get lost,
:37:30
and Mommy says, "You're right. "
:37:32
And "I've lived with him
for all my life. "

:37:34
And "Look at all these horrible
things he's done for me

:37:36
over 30 years," which
amounts to nothing,

:37:38
except this.
:37:41
At some point, David
making the videotapes

:37:43
kind of springboarded to my
thoughts about audiotape.

:37:49
And I began to make
audio recordings

:37:52
of these family arguments.
:38:26
Don't scream.
:38:34
The family was screaming
at each other.

:38:37
And everyone wanted me
to say, "He didn't do it. "

:38:40
Well, I wouldn't do that.
:38:43
I said, "I don't know. "
:38:45
They wanted me
just to lie, you know,

:38:48
and say, "He didn't do it,"
whether I believed it or not.

:38:51
And I was so angry at Arnold
and what he'd done

:38:55
that I wouldn't do it, and I
said, "Well, I don't know. "

:38:58
And I wanted just
to tell the truth.
