:12:00
and waiting on my mother
to give me my Bible lesson.
:12:06
I heard a commotion in the house...
:12:09
so I run up on the screened-in porch
to look inside.
:12:13
I looked in and seen my mother laying
on the floor without any clothes on.
:12:24
I seen Jesse Dixon
laying on top of her.
:12:29
He was having his way with her.
:12:33
I just seen red.
:12:39
I picked up a Kaiser blade that was
sitting by the door.
:12:42
Some folks called it a sling blade.
I called it a Kaiser blade.
:12:46
It's got a long, wood handle,
kind of like an ax handle...
:12:50
with a long blade shaped like a banana.
:12:54
Sharp on one edge
and dull on the other.
:12:58
It's what the highway boys use
to cut down weeds and whatnot. Yeah.
:13:05
I went in the house...
:13:08
and I hit Jesse Dixon
upside the head with it...
:13:11
knocked him off my mother.
:13:14
I reckon that didn't satisfy me...
:13:19
so I hit him again in the neck
with the sharp edge...
:13:21
and just plumb near cut his head off,
killed him.
:13:27
My mother jumped up
and started hollering...
:13:30
"What did you kill Jesse for?"
:13:33
Well, come to find out...
:13:35
my mother didn't mind
what Jesse was doing to her.
:13:40
That made me madder
than what Jesse'd made me...
:13:44
so I took the Kaiser blade--
:13:46
some folks called it a sling blade,
I called it a Kaiser blade--
:13:53
and I hit my mother
upside the head with it.
:13:56
Killed her.
