As soon as they started jury selection...
1:03:13
...everyone was coming into my shop with:
1:03:15
''I don't wanna be on this triaI.
I hope they don't caII me,'' or:
1:03:19
''Oh, my God, I got caIIed.
How do I get off?''
1:03:23
Just wanting to get as far away
from it as they could.
1:03:27
Very fearful that they were
gonna have to be part of that jury.
1:03:33
Then I heard
Henderson had to sit in the courtroom...
1:03:37
...while they questioned prospective jurors.
1:03:41
And one of the questions they asKed was:
1:03:43
''Would you be willing...
1:03:46
''...to put this person to death?''
1:03:49
And I understand a lot
of the comments were:
1:03:52
''Yes, I would.''
1:03:54
''Absolutely.''
1:03:56
''Yep, no problem.''
1:04:00
Can you imagine hearing that?
1:04:03
Juror after juror...
1:04:06
...after juror.
1:04:10
These are people that he Knows.
1:04:16
No wonder he changed his pIea.
1:04:18
You entered a not guiIty pIea earIier,
Mr. Henderson.
1:04:22
But I understand you wish to change
your pIea today?
1:04:25
Yes, sir.
1:04:26
Do you understand that the recommended
sentence here is two Iife sentences?
1:04:32
Yes, sir.
1:04:33
And do you understand that those may
run concurrentIy or consecutiveIy?
1:04:40
Yes, sir.
1:04:41
Before the court makes that decision...
1:04:43
...I understand that there are statements
to be made by at Ieast one individuaI.
1:04:47
let's proceed with that.
1:04:52
As the grandmother
and the person who raised Russell...
1:04:56
...along with my family...
1:04:59
...we have written the foIIowing statement.
