And then I

from her family, sick on drugs,

:56:30
the struggle for the gun, the gun goes off.
:56:37
But there was no struggle.
:56:41
That was legal fiction.
:56:44
Well, you had good lawyers.
:56:47
Not like your child custody team.
:56:53
I remember just lying
in my cell at night and thinking,

:56:59
"My God. "
