At this point do you intend
to stay involved with her?
Um based off of last night
potentially yes.
However um
if anything is gonna be resolved first and foremost,
I want to say,
I want to apologize to y'all
for the things that I have done to your daughter.
Because she is a beautiful girl,
she has a good heart and y'all are great parents
and I know some things go wrong.
And I know y'all have done things
however everyone does things.
And some,
not everyone's perfect.
Just like I've done things
and I'm not perfect.
However like I hope that one day y'all can find
it in y'all's hearts to forgive me
for all the things that I've done
and we could come to a conclusion
or me and your daughter could be happily off
and everything gets better.
But if not I just still want to apologize
sincerely 'cause I've never given you a chance
to apologize face to face.
And I want to give you that,
I hope that you can give me that opportunity
to say I'm sorry for everything
that I've done to your daughter.
And 'cause she doesn't deserve it.
She definitely doesn't deserve it,
she's a beautiful woman.
She's a great girl.
She's smart,
she's intelligent like everything,
she's the whole nine yards.
And y'all raised a beautiful,
wonderful daughter and. (audience applauding)
But you have no ability to predict
that you can keep your hands off of her
at this point right?
Like you've said, "I've started but I don't."
No Sir.
At this point the best predictor
of future behavior is relevant past behavior.
Yes Sir. And at this point
you're a work in progress.
You have no ability to predict
that you can keep your hands off of her in anger right?
Yes Sir. 'Cause I mean
these are the images of what's happened so far
I mean she's had black eyes.
She's got bruises all over her body.
You admit that you've choked her.
She's I mean we've been through the sexual assault
that night.
She says that you have beaten her,
thrown her around,
sexually assaulted her,
choked her and that's the history
that predicts what's gonna happen in the future
unless you get more help than you've gotten.
Yes Sir.
So do you expect her parents
to support you being with her
until such a time as some independent professional
says that you're a safe person to be around?
No Sir.
I feel like right
if I was in their shoes I would hate my guts
and I would never want my daughter
to ever be around me if I was in their shoes.
(audience applauding)
And how many times have you seen her
since you've been here?
Last night for sure.
Last night.
Ah the night before that I mean
two out of three days,
we've only been here three days.
Two out of three days? Yes Sir.
You're under a restraining order right now right?
Yes Sir.
Okay and you've violated it twice
since you've been here.
What am I supposed
to agree with you?
No you have
you already have.
Shoot I got me sweating
I'm gonna be back in jail shoot.
Yeah that's exactly right.
(audience laughing)
You just admitted that you violated
the restraining order twice since you've been here.
Um we know
that 'cause you just have that on tape.
(audience laughing)
Ah and you've also admitted
to a number of physical attacks
also on tape.
Yes Sir.
So I'm just saying
would you like to work cooperatively
or adversarially?
Because the family can take this video tape
where you have admitted violating
this restraining order.
They can take this and play it for the judge
who issued that order
and trust me judges who issue orders
and then have people just thumb their nose
at the order,
they don't like that very much.
Yes Sir I understand that. If they take
this tape and play that for the judge
where you have disrespected the court
and violated the order,
are very likely to put you in jail.
Yes. Or would you rather
just cooperate and agree
that you leave her alone
until such a time as when you've gotten the help
where an independent professional
can look these people in the eye and say I believe
he's no longer
a threat to your daughter?
Yes Sir.
So which would you rather do?
I would definitely want
to get help and definitely figure
out a way to where we could work things out
and be together.
'Cause that would mean leaving her alone
until such a time
as and I will get you
the help by the way.
Thank you. I will get
you professional help.
So long as you leave her alone
until such a time as that professional can look
these people in the eye and say he was a threat,
he was immature,
he had impulse control problems,
he had anger problems
but those have been resolved.
Yes Sir.
'Cause I want to help you
I'm not judge you I want to help you.
But if you can't do that
and respect that then they can achieve the same thing
by putting you behind bars.
