A lot of people have said in this case 'I can't believe that he didn't go in and try to save those kids, it's just 4 feet of water.' Well, he did and he knew it was hopeless.
But that's not going to happen. I'm confident that's not going to happen.
He is calm. He knows he's going to testify and he's going to explain what happened, and he's ready to do it.
He is very calm and comfortable.
He's going to be the first defense witness.
He's not some cold-hearted killer who went to the hospital out of a show. He was extremely upset and distraught to the point of severe depression that evening.
How could you make that up? You can't.
I believe Amanda would have testified exactly like she told the police seven times -- this was an accident and how it happened. So I wasn't concerned about that.
I can't imagine you could convict someone of murder on the basis of a person like that.
I can't say it entered into any of my decision making.
I think it was because it was six o'clock at night ... I will be asking the judge to reconsider it considering the lateness of the night and we'll see.
I think this jury was left with no choice. They were put in a position of finding him guilty of murder or letting him go home.
I think we can say this is an absolutely wonderful thing that the jury takes their job and responsibility as seriously as the lawyers and police did in this case.
I would be shocked if we had a verdict before the first of April.
If that's the only evidence you've got, it's a sad day in the justice system to prosecute people for murder on the basis of that.
