"I don't know what you've done just yet.
1:23:03
"I know you were shot.
1:23:04
"I know you were shot doing something
that you shouldn't have been...

1:23:08
"we know you burglarized a gun shop.
We know you were driving drunk.

1:23:11
"Got witnesses who can identify you,
who can identify your truck."

1:23:16
I said, "You're caught. So tell the truth."
1:23:19
And David said, "Okay, I killed him."
1:23:25
Their home was entered while he
and his girlfriend were there alone.

1:23:31
The man was sent into the bathroom
at gunpoint and told to stay there.

1:23:37
David took the girl
and was starting to leave.

1:23:41
The man exited the apartment with a gun.
1:23:46
The man fell to the ground,
or near the ground...

1:23:48
holding onto a pole there in the
parking lot of the apartment complex...

1:23:52
and these last, whether it be two,
three, or how many shots...

1:23:55
I don't know, were fired at point-blank
or near point-blank range.

1:24:03
David thought that the one
that was really at fault that night...

1:24:06
was the guy that got killed.
He said, "That guy's crazy.

1:24:09
"He came after me with a gun."
1:24:11
I told him,
"David, you'd broken into his house...

1:24:13
"you abducted his girlfriend,
what was he supposed to do?"

1:24:16
He said,
"Man shouldn't come out with a gun.

1:24:19
"That dude's crazy.
He should have been killed."

1:24:24
When we went to retrieve the pistol...
1:24:27
I had to go into the water to get it.
1:24:29
It was a bayou and it was grassy,
snaky-looking area.

1:24:31
I was not real pleased
about being there myself...

1:24:34
but David enjoyed watching me have to
go down there and look for the gun.

1:24:37
I'd been searching several minutes,
he was up on the bridge...

1:24:41
and probably 25 feet from me...
1:24:43
directing me to where he thought
that the gun had landed in the water.

1:24:50
He was handcuffed.
1:24:51
Traffic would come by,
and he would turn around...

1:24:54
and show them his handcuffs
and holler at them, "Help me!

1:24:57
"The officials will throw me
in this water and drown me."
