:39:01
That is the truth.
I didn't know.
:39:03
My mother abandoned
him, pretty much,
:39:07
wouldn't talk to him, fought
with him constantly,
:39:10
made him sleep on the sofa.
:39:11
And after 33 years of
marriage, when your wife,
:39:14
when you've been accused of
a crime you didn't commit,
:39:17
you spend 6 weeks in
jail for it,
:39:20
you're trying to build
a defense,
:39:23
and your wife leaves you,
essentially,
:39:26
my father fell apart.
:39:28
You yelled and screamed about
what, that you ruined her life.
:39:32
She's brainwashed you.
You didn't do anything.
:39:33
The police have done it to you.
:39:35
It's not your fault.
:39:37
The police are
railroading you.
:39:42
But it's not your fault.
:39:43
Mommy doesn't believe you.
:39:45
The police picked on you,
:39:46
and that's who
they're going after.
:39:48
It's not because
you deserved it.
:39:51
You're taking the blame,
and you don't deserve the blame.
:39:53
She's brainwashing you into
thinking that it's your fault,
:39:55
and it's not your fault.
:39:57
She thinks he did it.
:39:59
And if he did it,
then she thinks
:40:00
he's going to be
convicted of it.
:40:02
And if he's convicted of it,
he's going to go away.
:40:04
Yeah, but if, let's say he
goes away for 10 years.
:40:06
He's still gonna come out.
:40:07
No, I'm talking about 50 years.
I'm talking about 100 years.
:40:09
She doesn't think
he's getting 50 years.
:40:12
I don't think she thinks that
he's going to get 50 years.
:40:14
OK, so what is he gonna get?
Twenty years?
:40:15
That's 50 years.
:40:16
What's the difference, well,
:40:18
If he goes to a state
institution on state charges,
:40:20
you know he's not coming back.
:40:34
In this case, there was
consultations
:40:36
between both sides, the District
Attorney's Office,
:40:40
the families,
the defense attorneys,
:40:41
as to what to do with
Arnold Friedman.
:40:44
We were trying to maintain
a sense of normalcy
:40:47
in terms of having dinner
and paying the bills,
:40:52
but it was almost surreal.
:40:54
I mean, I don't think
any of us had any notion
:40:57
of what was going on
or what we were doing
