AT THE OPENING OF THIS
BROADCAST, BECAUSE THE FAMILY
MEMBERS WERE EXPLAINING
DIRECTLY TO THE JURORS NOT
JUST ABOUT WHAT THEY MISS, BUT
ALL THE FUTURE MOMENTS AND
MEMORIES THAT THEY SAY WERE
JUST STOLEN FROM THEM.
THEIR LIVES CHANGED FOREVER.
A WARNING FOR YOU TONIGHT,
SOME OF THE WORDS YOU’RE GOING

HITTING THE GROUND, OR HE MAY
HAVE BEEN KNEELING.

GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION TO DATE
ABOUT THE BULLET WHICH SHOT
THROUGH JOAQUIN’S HAND.
>> HE WAS LIKE IN THIS
ORIENTATION TRYING TO PROTECT
HIMSELF FROM BEING HARMED.
