1
00:00:21,522 --> 00:00:26,068
[interviewer] I'm gonna not refer to you
by name, so that we keep you anonymous.
2
00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:29,780
So, I'll refer to you as John R.
3
00:00:29,863 --> 00:00:33,951
And we're gonna use animation
to hide your identity.
4
00:00:34,034 --> 00:00:35,536
-Sure, yeah.
-Okay.
5
00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:45,045
[interviewer]
So... what's your understanding
6
00:00:45,128 --> 00:00:46,755
of what we're doing here today?
7
00:00:46,838 --> 00:00:48,924
An interview. On...
8
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,301
the Audrie Pott case.
9
00:00:55,388 --> 00:00:57,600
[interviewer]
What is the Audrie Pott case?
10
00:01:00,936 --> 00:01:06,358
Uh, there was a...
there was a... a criminal case...
11
00:01:07,651 --> 00:01:13,323
about a night on September 2nd, 2012.
12
00:01:13,991 --> 00:01:17,452
And Audrie Pott committed suicide
13
00:01:17,535 --> 00:01:21,498
and there was a bunch of...
things out there
14
00:01:21,582 --> 00:01:23,792
and it's a whole case.
Yeah. [sighs]
15
00:01:30,841 --> 00:01:34,678
[interviewer] I'm gonna refer to you
as John B in the course of this interview,
16
00:01:34,762 --> 00:01:37,305
so that we don't use your name.
17
00:01:37,389 --> 00:01:41,226
And we'll disguise your face
to keep you anonymous.
18
00:01:41,518 --> 00:01:42,644
Okay.
19
00:01:44,062 --> 00:01:46,398
[interviewer]
How would you describe the case?
20
00:01:47,024 --> 00:01:50,319
[John B]
It was definitely very hard.
21
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,697
I was really tormented in school, like...
22
00:01:53,780 --> 00:01:58,744
I was being bumped up in the hallway
and, you know, called a rapist,
23
00:01:58,827 --> 00:02:00,537
and, yeah, a lot of...
24
00:02:01,413 --> 00:02:03,123
a lot of harsh terms and...
25
00:02:04,041 --> 00:02:08,671
My car, it got, um... spray painted.
26
00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:13,467
And then on the... on the back it said,
like, "For Audrie."
27
00:02:13,592 --> 00:02:16,928
[interviewer] So, you felt kids were
blaming you for Audrie's death?
28
00:02:17,012 --> 00:02:19,222
[John B] Yes. Definitely.
29
00:02:21,266 --> 00:02:24,519
[interviewer] Did you know when you were
taking those pictures that it was a crime?
30
00:02:24,603 --> 00:02:27,272
-Did you know that in the moment?
-No. Not at all.
31
00:02:28,231 --> 00:02:32,319
You know, we just thought it'd be funny
to just laugh and joke about.
32
00:02:32,402 --> 00:02:35,322
And kids said they saw the photos.
33
00:02:35,405 --> 00:02:40,744
I think the whole football team got
interviewed by the police, and so...
34
00:02:40,828 --> 00:02:43,621
Yeah, that's what happened.
35
00:02:53,507 --> 00:02:58,470
SARATOGA, CALIFORNIA
36
00:02:58,553 --> 00:03:03,225
[attorney 1]
This is media number one
of the video tape deposition of John B.
37
00:03:03,391 --> 00:03:06,644
Case name, Pott v. John B, et al.
38
00:03:06,729 --> 00:03:12,901
Case number 1-1-3-C-V-2-4-4-6-8-9.
39
00:03:13,819 --> 00:03:15,696
[attorney 2]
Okay. Um...
40
00:03:16,279 --> 00:03:21,118
Going back in time, the party happened
on September 3, 2012. Right?
41
00:03:21,660 --> 00:03:22,494
[John B]
Yes.
42
00:03:26,749 --> 00:03:28,458
[indistinct chatter]
43
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:30,668
[whistle blows]
44
00:03:30,752 --> 00:03:32,003
[coach] Mike, out. Mike, out.
45
00:03:33,714 --> 00:03:35,716
[attorney 2]
How did you become
aware of the party?
46
00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:38,343
[John B sighs]
47
00:03:41,554 --> 00:03:44,641
[all chanting] Defense, defense, defense!
48
00:03:45,225 --> 00:03:47,310
[John B]
It is pretty blurry, it was...
49
00:03:48,937 --> 00:03:50,272
almost four years ago.
50
00:03:50,355 --> 00:03:51,356
So, I mean...
51
00:03:52,357 --> 00:03:56,987
I hear this party is being hosted
by Audrie and, um, Emily.
52
00:03:57,863 --> 00:04:00,866
And it was my first party
I've ever been to.
53
00:04:00,949 --> 00:04:03,034
I was a freshman. I just got my license.
54
00:04:03,952 --> 00:04:06,704
You know,
kinda thought I was cool and stuff.
55
00:04:06,788 --> 00:04:09,040
I drove my friends there.
56
00:04:11,418 --> 00:04:12,753
[whooping]
57
00:04:16,631 --> 00:04:21,136
[Larry Pott]
Sheila and I
have shared joint custody of Audrie.
58
00:04:21,219 --> 00:04:24,890
A couple days a week for me,
and Sheila had a couple days a week.
59
00:04:25,682 --> 00:04:27,642
She was always a happy kid, fun kid.
60
00:04:28,643 --> 00:04:30,645
She loved practical jokes.
61
00:04:37,778 --> 00:04:39,488
[Sheila Pott]
And when she got older,
62
00:04:39,571 --> 00:04:41,698
we used to like to cook together.
63
00:04:41,782 --> 00:04:43,909
Sometimes we would
turn on the Food Network
64
00:04:44,409 --> 00:04:46,661
and we'd wait until we saw
something that we liked.
65
00:04:46,745 --> 00:04:48,955
And we would go out
and get everything and make it.
66
00:04:49,039 --> 00:04:50,791
[kids screaming]
67
00:04:52,626 --> 00:04:56,004
And her friends would come over
and play in the pool.
68
00:04:59,925 --> 00:05:03,136
She was very outgoing.
She made friends easily.
69
00:05:03,261 --> 00:05:06,681
But she was very self-conscious.
70
00:05:07,015 --> 00:05:08,225
So, it would be...
71
00:05:09,267 --> 00:05:11,520
the bra, the cami
and then the T-shirt,
72
00:05:11,603 --> 00:05:15,482
and then she would bend over in the mirror
and make sure you can't see anything.
73
00:05:19,527 --> 00:05:21,196
[giggling and mumbling]
74
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,781
[Amanda Le]
She was one of my only true friends.
75
00:05:33,583 --> 00:05:37,295
We were kind of like an inseparable pair
throughout middle school.
76
00:05:39,256 --> 00:05:42,675
So, there was not a week
77
00:05:42,759 --> 00:05:46,054
where we didn't go
to each other's houses at least once.
78
00:06:36,563 --> 00:06:39,941
[attorney]
When did you first start
accessing this Yahoo! account?
79
00:06:40,984 --> 00:06:42,527
[John B]
Sixth or seventh grade.
80
00:06:44,321 --> 00:06:45,947
[girl speaking indistinctly]
81
00:06:46,031 --> 00:06:49,200
[Amanda]
They were pretty persistent,
the boys in middle school.
82
00:06:49,492 --> 00:06:54,080
It was very odd, like... even today
I think back and it's like, wow!
83
00:06:55,207 --> 00:06:59,002
There was definitely pressure
to have boobs.
84
00:06:59,086 --> 00:07:02,089
And I had none. [laughs]
85
00:07:02,172 --> 00:07:04,967
I'm gonna admit it, I was a late bloomer.
86
00:07:05,842 --> 00:07:09,054
[Amanda]
So, boys didn't ask me
for pictures and things like that
87
00:07:09,137 --> 00:07:11,098
because I didn't have anything to send.
88
00:07:11,181 --> 00:07:13,433
But most of the girls in my grade did.
89
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:18,355
Yeah, couple of girls in our group
of friends actually, they did full nude.
90
00:07:19,898 --> 00:07:22,317
[interviewer] Did Audrie?
[Amanda]
No, she never did.
91
00:07:22,776 --> 00:07:24,778
Boys always asked her,
92
00:07:24,902 --> 00:07:28,615
'cause, you know, she was one of
the most developed girls in our grade.
93
00:07:28,698 --> 00:07:32,494
So, naturally, boys will always
ask her for it first, you know?
94
00:07:32,577 --> 00:07:37,374
Uh, but I made her promise me,
"Never ever send them.
95
00:07:37,958 --> 00:07:40,752
You'll just get made fun of,
or, like, it'll just...
96
00:07:42,087 --> 00:07:43,505
It would be wrong."
97
00:07:46,674 --> 00:07:48,760
[girl 1] You scared me. I was like...
[chuckles]
98
00:07:49,552 --> 00:07:50,553
[girl 2] Oh.
99
00:07:52,347 --> 00:07:53,765
[engine starting]
100
00:07:55,308 --> 00:07:57,310
[indistinct chatter and laughter]
101
00:07:59,896 --> 00:08:03,566
[Amanda]
We got to Emily's
and they were already wasted. Everybody.
102
00:08:04,776 --> 00:08:09,114
They were just, like, very sloppy,
you know, pizza was on the floor.
103
00:08:09,197 --> 00:08:12,617
People were, like,
making out on the couch and...
104
00:08:13,076 --> 00:08:15,412
It was just uncomfortable.
105
00:08:16,829 --> 00:08:20,417
[John R]
People with hickeys.
Hands down each other's pants.
106
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:24,129
It's like, I don't know,
it's kinda new to me to see that.
107
00:08:27,007 --> 00:08:29,592
[Amanda]
Audrie was really messed up.
108
00:08:29,676 --> 00:08:32,387
She was, like, making out with people.
109
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,808
I took her upstairs and had her lay down,
but then she just came back downstairs.
110
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:42,397
So, I left.
And then, I guess, things got worse.
111
00:09:24,606 --> 00:09:26,983
[attorney]
when you went to go retrieve the markers.
112
00:09:27,067 --> 00:09:30,153
-[defense]
Object to the form.
-[John R]
I remember saying,
113
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,114
"Let's go draw on Audrie,"
when I saw the markers.
114
00:09:35,367 --> 00:09:36,743
Um...
115
00:09:39,121 --> 00:09:43,791
Part of it, the drawing part was
like a practical joke.
116
00:09:43,875 --> 00:09:45,627
Like, we've grown up,
117
00:09:45,710 --> 00:09:48,588
coloring on our cousins,
and when someone falls asleep,
118
00:09:48,671 --> 00:09:51,216
there's coloring on each other,
just 'cause, like...
119
00:09:51,299 --> 00:09:55,887
Didn't mean for there to be any harm
in it, other than a practical joke.
120
00:09:56,263 --> 00:10:00,142
Audrie actually drew on me in class,
like, a few days before that weekend
121
00:10:00,225 --> 00:10:01,726
anyways, and I was just...
122
00:10:01,809 --> 00:10:05,897
Yeah, it was just...
[mumbles] a stupid thing. But...
123
00:10:05,980 --> 00:10:12,820
It wasn't like we were trying to, like,
shame her or, like, be mean or anything.
124
00:10:14,864 --> 00:10:16,824
[attorney] Uh, and for the record...
125
00:12:47,267 --> 00:12:48,559
[defense] Object to the form.
126
00:12:48,643 --> 00:12:50,353
[attorney speaking]
127
00:13:33,021 --> 00:13:34,772
[defense] Instruct him not to answer that.
128
00:13:37,233 --> 00:13:39,110
[Larry]
I didn't know
anything at the time.
129
00:13:39,193 --> 00:13:40,111
But they used...
130
00:13:42,030 --> 00:13:43,865
indelible markers.
131
00:13:44,031 --> 00:13:45,950
Completely covered
one whole side of her face,
132
00:13:46,034 --> 00:13:51,372
lifted up her bra and her panties,
drew on her private parts,
133
00:13:51,873 --> 00:13:54,709
um, wrote nasty things on her body,
134
00:13:54,792 --> 00:13:56,127
and then...
135
00:13:56,919 --> 00:13:59,547
um, sexually assaulted her.
136
00:14:01,507 --> 00:14:03,426
[chimes]
137
00:14:30,328 --> 00:14:33,331
[Sheila]
The next morning,
I went and I picked her up.
138
00:14:35,333 --> 00:14:39,253
And I noticed right away that she had
green marker down the side of her leg.
139
00:14:40,254 --> 00:14:44,926
And I said,
"Why do you have green pen on you?"
140
00:14:45,301 --> 00:14:50,473
And she made some excuse like,
"Oh, so-and-so did something."
141
00:15:26,467 --> 00:15:28,678
[Amanda]
She said, "I'm scared. What if...
142
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,181
I did something that I didn't wanna do."
143
00:15:32,682 --> 00:15:35,142
Uh, she had no clue about the pictures,
though.
144
00:15:36,978 --> 00:15:40,982
And I remember, I think maybe
during break or during lunch or something,
145
00:15:41,065 --> 00:15:44,401
I saw a group of boys just,
like, crowded around.
146
00:15:44,986 --> 00:15:47,905
They were looking down, so it looked like
they were looking at a phone.
147
00:15:47,989 --> 00:15:52,076
I said, "Look at that, like,
they're definitely looking at a picture."
148
00:15:53,119 --> 00:15:55,455
She witnessed it right there, you know.
149
00:17:00,269 --> 00:17:02,021
[Larry]
So, when she's investigating this,
150
00:17:02,104 --> 00:17:07,443
it didn't matter if one person saw
or 4,000 people saw.
151
00:17:07,527 --> 00:17:11,864
Because to Audrie,
everybody in her little world,
152
00:17:11,948 --> 00:17:14,784
which was that high school,
everybody had seen it.
153
00:17:33,511 --> 00:17:38,140
[Sheila]
The next week,
she texted me around 12:00, 12:30.
154
00:17:39,392 --> 00:17:42,687
There was like four or five texts, and one
of them said, "I can't do this anymore."
155
00:17:43,729 --> 00:17:45,481
I said, "What do you mean?"
156
00:17:46,190 --> 00:17:47,942
And she said, "Can you pick me up?"
157
00:17:51,070 --> 00:17:54,949
We pulled up to the house,
and I said, "Just go inside...
158
00:17:55,408 --> 00:17:58,411
and calm down
and we'll talk in a few minutes."
159
00:17:59,537 --> 00:18:04,292
She spent lot of the day in her room,
on her computer.
160
00:18:05,418 --> 00:18:08,462
And I went to check on her.
161
00:18:09,046 --> 00:18:12,216
And I knocked on the door and I said,
162
00:18:12,967 --> 00:18:14,427
"Audrie, are you okay?"
163
00:18:16,846 --> 00:18:19,098
And she said nothing.
164
00:18:20,850 --> 00:18:23,603
So, I popped open the door, and...
165
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,230
I saw her and she was...
166
00:18:27,898 --> 00:18:29,275
hanging from the shower.
167
00:18:32,111 --> 00:18:33,237
I cut her down...
168
00:18:35,281 --> 00:18:38,117
and I tried to drag her
out of the tub and...
169
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,328
I couldn't get her all the way out.
170
00:18:40,828 --> 00:18:43,039
Maybe three minutes later...
171
00:18:44,373 --> 00:18:46,042
the paramedics were here.
172
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:48,127
[sniffles]
173
00:18:48,210 --> 00:18:51,505
And I kept saying, "You've gotta save her.
You've gotta save her."
174
00:19:03,643 --> 00:19:08,439
[Larry]
I just, literally,
raced to my car... [sighs]
175
00:19:08,522 --> 00:19:10,399
beelined straight to the hospital.
176
00:19:12,401 --> 00:19:17,448
And the minute I walked in
and saw her eyes, I knew she was gone.
177
00:19:50,022 --> 00:19:53,943
[reporter 1]
Santa Clara County sheriff's
deputies arrived at Saratoga High School
178
00:19:54,026 --> 00:19:56,195
and arrested two teenaged boys.
179
00:19:56,278 --> 00:19:58,906
Each of them will be charged
with two counts of felony
180
00:19:58,990 --> 00:20:02,034
and one count of
misdemeanor sexual battery.
181
00:20:02,118 --> 00:20:05,037
[reporter 2]
The photo not only made
the event more terrible for Audrie,
182
00:20:05,121 --> 00:20:08,499
it will also be used as evidence
against the boys, now in custody.
183
00:20:08,582 --> 00:20:11,085
[reporter 1]
This is not the first story
we've told of this ilk.
184
00:20:11,168 --> 00:20:13,587
Teenagers, allegations of sex assault,
185
00:20:13,670 --> 00:20:16,007
cell phone photos, social media.
186
00:20:16,090 --> 00:20:18,259
It's getting to the point
where we're losing track.
187
00:20:18,342 --> 00:20:20,386
What about all of the other teens...
188
00:20:20,469 --> 00:20:22,471
PISMO BEACH, CALIFORNIA
189
00:20:23,723 --> 00:20:26,350
[Delaney Henderson]
My dad came home one night and said,
190
00:20:26,434 --> 00:20:28,018
"Delaney, you need to turn on the news."
191
00:20:30,897 --> 00:20:34,191
I remember turning on the news
and hearing about this girl
192
00:20:34,275 --> 00:20:35,735
and her name was Audrie Pott.
193
00:20:36,944 --> 00:20:40,072
And I remember thinking to myself,
"I need to talk to her."
194
00:20:41,448 --> 00:20:45,161
And my dad looked at me and he said,
"You know, she committed suicide."
195
00:20:46,954 --> 00:20:51,583
I know...
I know the exact feeling she felt.
196
00:20:53,794 --> 00:20:56,172
Even after my assault,
197
00:20:56,672 --> 00:21:00,009
I still go through it sometimes
of just self-shame and,
198
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:02,845
you know, all these people are right,
what they're saying about me.
199
00:21:04,513 --> 00:21:07,892
She had only been going through this
for a week and had gotten so bad.
200
00:21:10,770 --> 00:21:14,273
Like, if I had had one day
and I could have just talked to her
201
00:21:14,356 --> 00:21:16,233
and let her know that I was there.
202
00:21:16,317 --> 00:21:18,652
That I'm going through
what she's going through.
203
00:21:18,778 --> 00:21:22,739
And my dad was like, "You know,
but sometimes, like, it's just too late."
204
00:21:26,619 --> 00:21:28,662
I'm just lucky because it didn't work.
205
00:21:28,745 --> 00:21:31,123
When I tried to kill myself,
it didn't work.
206
00:21:31,207 --> 00:21:34,043
And I remember thinking afterwards,
"Why didn't I take more pills?"
207
00:21:36,128 --> 00:21:39,590
Like, the assault and the rape happened,
208
00:21:39,673 --> 00:21:42,802
but it was the aftereffect, I think,
that was so much worse.
209
00:21:45,346 --> 00:21:49,391
I mean, there was pictures forwarded
all over Facebook, all over Twitter.
210
00:21:49,475 --> 00:21:53,062
There was hashtags created, like,
"Delaney Henderson's a slut."
211
00:21:55,064 --> 00:21:57,900
It got to the point
where I was getting threats.
212
00:21:57,983 --> 00:22:01,028
The DA actually came to us and said,
"You need to leave,
213
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:04,156
because these threats are getting so bad
that we're afraid for your life."
214
00:22:05,199 --> 00:22:07,326
What about these? These too, right?
215
00:22:07,409 --> 00:22:08,244
[man] Yeah.
216
00:22:09,328 --> 00:22:13,666
[Delaney]
Now, we are finally
moving to Florida.
217
00:22:14,166 --> 00:22:16,502
I mean,
we can't get any farther than that.
218
00:22:16,585 --> 00:22:19,964
We're going from the Pacific Ocean
to the Atlantic Ocean.
219
00:22:26,428 --> 00:22:30,266
I wish that someone had contacted me
when I had needed it, you know?
220
00:22:30,349 --> 00:22:32,560
Even just to send me a Facebook message.
221
00:22:35,980 --> 00:22:37,439
The second I heard about Daisy,
222
00:22:37,940 --> 00:22:40,151
I looked at my mom and I said,
"I'm gonna talk to her.
223
00:22:40,234 --> 00:22:43,821
I don't know how, I don't know where
to find her, but I need to talk to her."

MARYVILLE, MISSOURI

[reporter 1]
A senior at Maryville
High School was charged today
227
00:23:15,477 --> 00:23:18,230
with sexual assault
and endangering the welfare of a child,
228
00:23:18,314 --> 00:23:22,359
after allegedly engaging in sex
with an intoxicated 14-year-old girl.
229
00:23:22,443 --> 00:23:25,279
According to
the Nodaway County sheriff's office,
230
00:23:25,362 --> 00:23:28,407
Matthew Barnett, aged 17,
faces charges in the alleged...

A second Maryville teen
has been charged

in a sex crimes investigation.

Seventeen-year-old Jordan Zech is charged

with felony sexual exploitation
of a minor.
235
00:23:37,458 --> 00:23:40,544
According to court documents,
he used his cell phone to make a video
236
00:23:40,627 --> 00:23:45,882
of a 14-year-old girl engaged in
sexual acts with a 17-year-old male.

[grunts]
238
00:24:19,583 --> 00:24:24,380
[Charlie Coleman]
January 7th.
I remember it pretty vividly because
239
00:24:24,463 --> 00:24:28,217
that was the first ever
wrestling tournament I had ever won.
240
00:24:29,135 --> 00:24:31,428
And I was pretty excited about it.
241
00:24:31,512 --> 00:24:33,305
I actually texted Jordan, I was like,
242
00:24:33,389 --> 00:24:37,893
"We should hang out tonight. Let's play
Call of Duty and drink a beer or two."
243
00:24:37,977 --> 00:24:42,189
I had some in my fridge, I was like,
"All right. Well, let's do this."
244
00:24:42,481 --> 00:24:45,109
And he was like, "Ah, I don't know, man.
245
00:24:45,192 --> 00:24:47,528
Matt keeps buggin' me about comin' over."
246
00:24:47,611 --> 00:24:49,905
I was like, "All right, it's cool.
Don't worry about it."
247
00:24:49,988 --> 00:24:51,532
So, I actually went to bed.
248
00:24:53,993 --> 00:24:57,705
When I fell asleep,
it was probably ten o'clock.
249
00:24:58,330 --> 00:25:01,083
Daisy had her friend Paige over
from Albany
250
00:25:01,167 --> 00:25:03,919
and they were, what I thought was
watching movies and stuff,
251
00:25:04,003 --> 00:25:05,921
but they were actually drinking a bit.
252
00:25:09,508 --> 00:25:13,470
[Daisy Coleman]
I met Paige
when I was about nine or ten.
253
00:25:13,554 --> 00:25:15,931
We kinda had the same dry sense of humor.
254
00:25:17,307 --> 00:25:20,894
We were kinda the weird kids,
almost like the outcasts.
255
00:25:24,064 --> 00:25:26,150
She was basically my best friend.
256
00:25:26,817 --> 00:25:29,027
So I really trusted her.
257
00:25:29,111 --> 00:25:33,365
I thought, like,
we could try drinking alcohol together.
258
00:25:34,366 --> 00:25:38,412
We had just been drinking in a room.
I mean, not really doin' a whole lot.
259
00:25:40,831 --> 00:25:43,834
I know we went through at least
a water bottle of tequila,
260
00:25:43,917 --> 00:25:48,297
and mixed that
with some vodka and Red Bull.
261
00:25:49,923 --> 00:25:50,966
And...
262
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,762
Uh, I started to feel
really sick and dizzy,
263
00:25:55,554 --> 00:25:57,556
so I laid down for a little while.
264
00:25:59,725 --> 00:26:00,768
[text messages whooshing]
265
00:26:14,615 --> 00:26:16,032
[Daisy]
This guy started texting me.
266
00:26:16,116 --> 00:26:18,619
He was actually friends
with my oldest brother.
267
00:26:19,203 --> 00:26:22,623
And him and, um, a bunch
of my brother's friends
268
00:26:22,706 --> 00:26:25,542
were drinking at his place
in his basement.
269
00:26:27,586 --> 00:26:30,797
I was the freshman girl, cheerleader.
270
00:26:30,881 --> 00:26:33,550
She was going to be a freshman.
She was in eighth grade.
271
00:26:33,634 --> 00:26:38,764
So it was kind of like, "Oh, older boys
think they want to hang out with us?"
272
00:26:38,847 --> 00:26:41,725
Like...
It was just one of those things, like,
273
00:26:41,809 --> 00:26:45,104
"If we did this, I bet we would be cool
if we could hang out with them,"
274
00:26:45,187 --> 00:26:46,438
and kinda thing.
275
00:26:55,614 --> 00:27:00,160
I think at the point that
I did leave my house, I was drunk.
276
00:27:01,161 --> 00:27:04,665
Not, like, tipsy or buzzed, but drunk.
[chuckles]
277
00:27:05,207 --> 00:27:09,086
Which was hard for me to identify
at the time, because it was kind of like,
278
00:27:09,170 --> 00:27:11,213
"Oh, is this what it's
supposed to feel like?
279
00:27:11,297 --> 00:27:13,048
Or is it supposed to be different?"
280
00:27:13,132 --> 00:27:14,967
So it's just kind of like,
281
00:27:15,509 --> 00:27:18,929
"Let me add more fuel to this fire
and see what happens."
282
00:27:19,012 --> 00:27:20,181
[chuckles]
283
00:27:31,358 --> 00:27:34,403
We literally jumped out my window.
284
00:27:36,905 --> 00:27:39,533
We walked out to the car.
285
00:27:39,616 --> 00:27:42,160
They kind of drove to a neighborhood.
286
00:27:44,788 --> 00:27:48,375
We had to walk through
a couple of backyards to get to his house.
287
00:27:48,459 --> 00:27:51,920
So you could kinda tell that
he was hiding it from his parents.
288
00:27:52,004 --> 00:27:55,090
And so, we had to sneak in
through the basement window.
289
00:27:57,301 --> 00:27:59,094
There were five guys there.
290
00:27:59,177 --> 00:28:02,889
Matt, Cole, Nick, Jordan,
291
00:28:02,973 --> 00:28:07,394
and a younger friend of theirs that
took Paige into Matt's sister's bedroom.
292
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:13,400
Pretty much, uh, as soon as we got
to the house, we were separated.
293
00:28:13,483 --> 00:28:15,027
I was taken into another room.
294
00:28:18,113 --> 00:28:21,700
[Daisy]
Someone mentioned
having me drink out of the bitch cup.
295
00:28:22,409 --> 00:28:26,705
"If you drank so much,
you were this tough," or whatever.
296
00:28:27,331 --> 00:28:32,669
And since I have three brothers and
it was guys kind of taunting me to do it,
297
00:28:32,753 --> 00:28:35,047
I kind of almost saw it as a challenge.
298
00:28:35,130 --> 00:28:40,802
Like, "Yeah, I'll show you. I'm not just,
like, a little girl" kinda thing. Yeah.
299
00:28:43,972 --> 00:28:47,934
I drank all of that and had quite a few
swigs straight from the bottle,
300
00:28:48,018 --> 00:28:52,814
which probably amounted to, like,
11 or 12 shots by that time.
301
00:28:54,107 --> 00:28:58,320
I remember a dog ran up on the couch
and sat on my lap,
302
00:28:58,404 --> 00:29:01,114
and I said something
really loudly about it,
303
00:29:01,198 --> 00:29:03,242
and they told me to quiet down.
And that's...
304
00:29:03,325 --> 00:29:06,620
literally the last thing
I remember, so...
305
00:29:14,878 --> 00:29:17,088
[Paige]
I was really drunk.
306
00:29:17,172 --> 00:29:20,259
Every time he tried to make a move,
I'd always tell him no.
307
00:29:20,550 --> 00:29:23,887
A lot of times
I had pushed his hands away and...
308
00:29:24,596 --> 00:29:27,891
I mean, I made it clear, very clear,
that I didn't want to do this,
309
00:29:27,974 --> 00:29:30,269
but I was sexually assaulted.
310
00:29:33,021 --> 00:29:35,982
I don't know. There was a lot more
I wish I would have done,
311
00:29:36,066 --> 00:29:38,068
maybe fought back a lot harder. But...
312
00:29:39,611 --> 00:29:42,155
Then who knows
what would have happened after that.
313
00:29:46,827 --> 00:29:47,869
When I was in the room,
314
00:29:47,953 --> 00:29:51,915
I could still hear them all
in the living room talking, drinking...
315
00:29:53,709 --> 00:29:56,086
After that five, ten minutes,
it got quiet.
316
00:29:57,588 --> 00:30:03,927
That's when Matt took her into the room.
It was quiet until I came back out.
317
00:30:06,847 --> 00:30:09,850
I came back out and...
318
00:30:10,517 --> 00:30:13,562
Uh, they just told me to
sit on the couch and wait.
319
00:30:13,645 --> 00:30:15,314
Whenever they opened the door...
320
00:30:16,272 --> 00:30:18,775
um, she was just kind of laying there.
321
00:30:18,859 --> 00:30:21,194
Half sprawled on the bed,
half on the floor.
322
00:30:22,070 --> 00:30:23,822
Uh, she couldn't talk.
323
00:30:23,905 --> 00:30:26,116
She couldn't move hardly at all.
324
00:30:27,326 --> 00:30:29,411
She was just completely incoherent.
325
00:30:31,413 --> 00:30:35,125
They had decided they're going to
have to just pick her up
326
00:30:35,208 --> 00:30:37,836
and put her through the window
because she couldn't walk.
327
00:30:38,629 --> 00:30:42,341
And then they pretty much
dragged her to the car.
328
00:30:44,885 --> 00:30:47,179
They were freaking out in the car,
trying to figure out
329
00:30:47,262 --> 00:30:50,891
how they were going to drop us off
without her brothers waking up.
330
00:30:52,934 --> 00:30:55,396
And they told me that,
331
00:30:55,479 --> 00:30:59,775
"It's all right. We'll sit here and
watch her, all she has to do is sober up."
332
00:30:59,858 --> 00:31:02,361
They said,
"Just go inside and go sleep."
333
00:31:03,445 --> 00:31:08,658
And so, I went inside,
pretty much just blacked out.
334
00:31:14,748 --> 00:31:17,584
[reporter 1]
Good morning, Maryville.
It's a cold start to the day.
335
00:31:17,668 --> 00:31:21,588
Only 21 degrees, getting up to an
expected high of 44 this afternoon.
336
00:31:21,671 --> 00:31:24,257
Later tonight, expect temps
to drop back below freezing...
337
00:31:25,717 --> 00:31:28,011
[Melinda Coleman]
Ten till five
in the morning, I heard...
338
00:31:28,095 --> 00:31:29,930
something outside...
339
00:31:31,431 --> 00:31:36,061
And we got to the front door
and Daisy was laying in the yard.
340
00:31:38,188 --> 00:31:40,941
She had, um,
just sweatpants and a T-shirt on
341
00:31:41,024 --> 00:31:44,277
and her hair was wet
and it was frozen to the ground...
342
00:31:45,361 --> 00:31:47,989
And we carried her in
and wrapped her in a blanket
343
00:31:48,073 --> 00:31:50,075
and we were trying to warm her up.
344
00:31:50,325 --> 00:31:54,705
And she was not unconscious,
but not really conscious.
345
00:31:54,788 --> 00:32:00,585
She couldn't speak.
She couldn't move or answer any questions.
346
00:32:01,086 --> 00:32:03,130
Then I panicked, I thought,
"Where's Paige?"
347
00:32:03,213 --> 00:32:04,965
You know? Is she out there somewhere?
348
00:32:05,549 --> 00:32:07,968
I was being bombarded with questions
349
00:32:08,051 --> 00:32:11,221
and trying to figure out
what was really going on
350
00:32:11,304 --> 00:32:15,434
and I myself really didn't know
what was going on at first.
351
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,646
[Melinda]
So, I started filling my tub up
with cool water
352
00:32:19,730 --> 00:32:22,357
and I had started to kind of undress her
353
00:32:22,441 --> 00:32:26,945
and I noticed that she was
really, really red
354
00:32:28,238 --> 00:32:29,781
in places...
355
00:32:30,866 --> 00:32:33,452
Like in her groin and thigh area.
356
00:32:34,745 --> 00:32:39,165
That was the thing
that kind of made me think
357
00:32:39,249 --> 00:32:41,460
maybe something else had happened.
358
00:32:46,923 --> 00:32:50,552
So at that point, I went ahead
and took Daisy to the hospital
359
00:32:50,761 --> 00:32:52,345
and they did the exam.
360
00:32:54,139 --> 00:32:58,393
They did the rape kits and they talked
to both Daisy and Paige at that time.
361
00:33:02,439 --> 00:33:04,524
We did do a blood alcohol level on her.
362
00:33:05,025 --> 00:33:08,737
It came back 134.9.
363
00:33:09,404 --> 00:33:13,492
I mean, it tells very clearly that,
at the time they dropped her in the yard,
364
00:33:13,575 --> 00:33:17,245
just based on half-life,
she had to be close to comatose.
365
00:33:17,328 --> 00:33:20,123
She had to have been close
to blood poison level.
366
00:33:22,167 --> 00:33:25,795
[Daisy]
By the time that they took me
to the hospital, I could not sort out
367
00:33:25,879 --> 00:33:27,297
what happened, really.
368
00:33:27,380 --> 00:33:32,594
So my story to the cops the first time
was really, really, really hazy.
369
00:33:33,803 --> 00:33:35,430
I was pretty...
370
00:33:36,223 --> 00:33:39,518
probably pretty messed up, still.
I was really confused.
371
00:33:42,395 --> 00:33:45,398
[Charlie]
Daisy's phone was in the yard,
face down in the snow.
372
00:33:46,650 --> 00:33:49,903
One boot was next to it
and another boot was ten feet away.
373
00:33:50,278 --> 00:33:52,656
I dried the phone off on my pant leg
374
00:33:52,739 --> 00:33:55,367
and we started going through it,
and the first name I saw on there
375
00:33:55,450 --> 00:33:56,785
was Matty B.
376
00:33:56,868 --> 00:33:59,996
And I knew, I freaking knew...
377
00:34:01,122 --> 00:34:04,209
that was Matt Barnett.
378
00:34:07,170 --> 00:34:11,174
I knew that that was something
I wouldn't have put past Matt,
379
00:34:11,258 --> 00:34:13,051
to try to have sex with my sister.
380
00:34:14,177 --> 00:34:15,595
But the fact that
381
00:34:16,555 --> 00:34:20,267
Nick and Cole were considered
two of my best friends,
382
00:34:21,184 --> 00:34:25,480
and Jordan, like, my teammate...
I wrestled that guy every single day.
383
00:34:25,564 --> 00:34:29,109
Like, how hard would it have been
for Jordan to text me and say,
384
00:34:29,192 --> 00:34:31,194
"Why is your sister at Matt's?"
385
00:34:32,237 --> 00:34:35,406
But he didn't. Nick didn't. Cole didn't.
386
00:34:37,450 --> 00:34:41,037
I called Nick and I was like,
387
00:34:41,121 --> 00:34:44,415
"We gotta talk.
I know you were there. What happened?"
388
00:34:44,499 --> 00:34:46,585
I drove to his house,
389
00:34:47,419 --> 00:34:50,046
sat outside and I texted him.
I'm like, "I'm here."
390
00:34:50,505 --> 00:34:53,634
No reply. Called him. No reply.
391
00:34:53,717 --> 00:34:56,469
And I was instantly... I was livid
392
00:34:56,553 --> 00:34:58,555
and I told Mom, "You call the cops."
393
00:35:01,516 --> 00:35:04,311
[Melinda]
Because we were
just outside of city limits,
394
00:35:04,728 --> 00:35:07,063
you know,
it was literally right on the line,
395
00:35:07,147 --> 00:35:09,941
so it was technically
the sheriff's jurisdiction
396
00:35:10,025 --> 00:35:12,694
when we called the emergency number.
397
00:35:18,450 --> 00:35:21,077
-[girl 1] You're always on that side.
-[girl 2] I'm on this side?
398
00:35:21,161 --> 00:35:23,163
-[girl 1] Other side.
-[girl 2 chuckles] Oh.
399
00:35:24,039 --> 00:35:26,291
No, wait. I want to... Okay.
400
00:35:27,834 --> 00:35:29,753
[indistinct radio chatter]
401
00:35:29,836 --> 00:35:32,505
[Darren White] I guess
it's a Midwestern thing.
402
00:35:33,089 --> 00:35:38,136
But around here, everybody's real big
on the one finger wave, you just kinda...
403
00:35:38,219 --> 00:35:39,054
[chuckles]
404
00:35:47,228 --> 00:35:50,398
A lot of these families
have been here for generations
405
00:35:50,481 --> 00:35:54,569
and are pretty well entrenched.
406
00:35:55,987 --> 00:35:59,407
You know, everybody's connected
in one way or another.
407
00:36:00,033 --> 00:36:03,244
Of course, obviously,
you have to be really careful
408
00:36:03,328 --> 00:36:07,165
of who you're talking about because
you never know who they're related to.
409
00:36:08,583 --> 00:36:10,501
-All right. See ya later.
-[girl] Bye.
410
00:36:16,007 --> 00:36:19,386
[White]
Raising kids
in a small town is really pretty great.
411
00:36:20,053 --> 00:36:22,764
Just having daughters is... [chuckles]
412
00:36:22,848 --> 00:36:26,810
I'm convinced that they're...
that they're trying to kill me.
413
00:36:27,686 --> 00:36:29,062
[car honking]
414
00:36:30,563 --> 00:36:33,066
I was elected sheriff in 2008.
415
00:36:33,149 --> 00:36:37,028
And then was re-elected in 2012.
416
00:36:37,112 --> 00:36:42,158
Um, you know, not to sound
like a Harry Truman cliché,
417
00:36:42,242 --> 00:36:46,412
but the buck really does stop here.
There's nobody above the sheriff.
418
00:36:48,373 --> 00:36:53,128
You know, it's safe to walk down
these sidewalks at night
419
00:36:53,211 --> 00:36:54,587
and you don't have to worry about,
420
00:36:54,671 --> 00:36:56,840
somebody jumping out from the bushes
421
00:36:56,923 --> 00:37:00,218
and hitting you on the head
and taking your wallet.
422
00:37:00,301 --> 00:37:03,346
We don't want to fool ourselves
into thinking that
423
00:37:03,429 --> 00:37:05,431
we don't have things that go on here,
424
00:37:06,099 --> 00:37:10,186
but we take a pretty
proactive approach and...
425
00:37:11,646 --> 00:37:14,983
you know,
we try to deal with things swiftly.
426
00:37:20,405 --> 00:37:23,950
Something that comes in
as a sexual assault,
427
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:27,412
certainly raises your ire.
428
00:37:27,495 --> 00:37:28,830
[bell rings]
429
00:37:28,914 --> 00:37:33,251
Based upon the information
that was given by the girls,
430
00:37:33,334 --> 00:37:37,630
we had a list of names of people
that had been at this house.
431
00:37:37,714 --> 00:37:41,259
We were able to round them up,
bring them in,
432
00:37:41,342 --> 00:37:43,762
and we went from there.
433
00:37:45,889 --> 00:37:46,890
Tell me about--
434
00:41:17,725 --> 00:41:21,437
[White]
From the time of call,
to victims interviewed,
435
00:41:21,521 --> 00:41:24,399
suspects interviewed, people in jail...
436
00:41:24,482 --> 00:41:26,484
we're talking about four hours.
437
00:41:27,110 --> 00:41:28,319
That's pretty darn quick.
438
00:41:28,403 --> 00:41:29,945
[indistinct chatter]
439
00:41:39,998 --> 00:41:43,459
[Charlie]
Monday, we went to school.
440
00:41:43,793 --> 00:41:44,794
And...
441
00:41:46,504 --> 00:41:49,966
It was 180 from that Friday.
442
00:41:50,049 --> 00:41:52,635
The Friday before. It was...
443
00:41:53,636 --> 00:41:55,221
one school divided.
444
00:42:01,186 --> 00:42:03,938
It was weird, because I always sat
at a table filled with people.
445
00:42:04,022 --> 00:42:05,356
Like, my teammates.
446
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,192
People I thought were my friends.
447
00:42:07,734 --> 00:42:12,196
I had absolutely nobody.
[chuckles] No one.
448
00:42:14,740 --> 00:42:16,326
I was one of the athletes.
449
00:42:16,409 --> 00:42:20,038
I was All-Conference and All-District
in sports and...
450
00:42:20,413 --> 00:42:23,833
once all that happened,
that was all taken from me in an instant.
451
00:42:23,916 --> 00:42:26,794
I was now known as "Daisy's brother."
452
00:42:38,973 --> 00:42:43,311
[Michael Coleman]
And it's a girl. Catherine Daisy.
453
00:42:44,937 --> 00:42:47,523
Okay, go. Go.
Get your mother.
454
00:42:47,607 --> 00:42:48,775
[Melinda coos]
455
00:42:49,650 --> 00:42:51,236
-Get your mother.
-[giggling]
456
00:42:51,319 --> 00:42:55,281
[Melinda]
Mike was actually
an electrical engineer when I met him.
457
00:42:55,573 --> 00:42:58,201
And, um, I was in vet school
458
00:42:58,284 --> 00:43:01,079
and he told me
he had always wanted to be a doctor.
459
00:43:02,122 --> 00:43:05,583
[chuckles] So, for the next...
460
00:43:06,876 --> 00:43:11,214
Gosh, four years of med school,
internship and then residency,
461
00:43:11,297 --> 00:43:13,091
I supported the family and had...
462
00:43:14,300 --> 00:43:18,429
had babies every 20 months.
[laughs] It's pretty much...
463
00:43:19,764 --> 00:43:21,808
Sissy eating ice cream.
464
00:43:23,226 --> 00:43:24,435
Mom.
465
00:43:25,353 --> 00:43:26,646
[Daisy]
Before my dad died,
466
00:43:26,729 --> 00:43:30,441
I always remembered thinking
that he's never gonna die.
467
00:43:30,525 --> 00:43:32,902
Like, he's too big and strong to die.
468
00:43:33,486 --> 00:43:35,613
Literally nothing's gonna happen to him.
469
00:43:36,489 --> 00:43:40,368
[Michael] And there's the birthday girl.
Cheese.
470
00:43:40,451 --> 00:43:42,328
I'll love this 20 years from now,
471
00:43:42,412 --> 00:43:45,331
just seeing what I'm seeing,
a close-up of Daisy.
472
00:43:47,250 --> 00:43:49,169
[Daisy]
I was about nine at the time.
473
00:43:49,252 --> 00:43:52,755
And we were heading
to a wrestling tournament.
474
00:43:53,756 --> 00:43:56,842
Some black ice had frozen over
the night before.
475
00:43:56,926 --> 00:44:03,433
So, when we drove over it,
my dad lost total control of the wheel.
476
00:44:03,516 --> 00:44:07,520
And we ended up upside down in a ravine.
477
00:44:11,482 --> 00:44:15,945
[Charlie]
When we got to the hospital,
I sat there for probably two, three hours.
478
00:44:17,780 --> 00:44:21,367
I was waiting for one of those
Disney movie fantasies to come to life,
479
00:44:21,451 --> 00:44:23,703
where he woke up.
480
00:44:23,786 --> 00:44:25,371
But he never did.
481
00:44:35,965 --> 00:44:38,593
[Melinda]
At first,
it was just shock for a while.
482
00:44:39,552 --> 00:44:41,929
And each of them had a tough year.
483
00:44:43,181 --> 00:44:47,059
And with Daisy,
she was so close to her dad.
484
00:44:47,142 --> 00:44:48,894
She was such a daddy's girl.
485
00:44:48,978 --> 00:44:52,732
He would always rock her to sleep and...
486
00:44:52,815 --> 00:44:55,776
she would sit on his lap
in the chair in the morning and...
487
00:44:55,860 --> 00:44:59,029
I worried a lot
about how she would handle it.
488
00:45:01,324 --> 00:45:06,579
Not that we wanted to erase a memory or,
not have pictures and stuff,
489
00:45:06,662 --> 00:45:09,915
but it was hard to go by the place
on the road where he'd been killed
490
00:45:09,999 --> 00:45:14,504
and his old practice,
which was now an administrative building.
491
00:45:16,672 --> 00:45:22,511
We decided it would be good to just
not be living with ghosts all the time.
492
00:45:30,811 --> 00:45:34,482
So, the plan was to go somewhere
not too far away,
493
00:45:34,565 --> 00:45:39,654
and... not so much larger that
it would be a shock to the kids.
494
00:45:40,529 --> 00:45:43,366
And where they could still come back
and visit their friends.
495
00:45:47,161 --> 00:45:51,123
[Charlie]
After Dad died, we looked around
and looked around at places.
496
00:45:51,206 --> 00:45:53,876
And the decision to move to Maryville...
497
00:45:54,585 --> 00:45:57,672
it fit like a shoe.
It was everything we could've asked for.
498
00:45:59,882 --> 00:46:02,677
It was about an hour from Albany.
499
00:46:03,135 --> 00:46:06,931
It was small,
but it was also big enough
500
00:46:07,014 --> 00:46:09,434
that everybody didn't know
everything about you.
501
00:46:11,686 --> 00:46:14,104
The football team
had just won state that year.
502
00:46:14,188 --> 00:46:17,942
So, I knew I was gonna get to play
football for a powerhouse program
503
00:46:18,359 --> 00:46:21,195
and I kinda fell in love
with the entire thing.
504
00:46:21,779 --> 00:46:25,283
I was my own person, finally,
and none of it had to do with
505
00:46:25,366 --> 00:46:27,910
anything bad
that had ever happened before.
506
00:46:29,745 --> 00:46:31,288
[crowd cheering]
507
00:46:34,834 --> 00:46:36,711
[players grunting]
508
00:46:37,712 --> 00:46:41,006
[Jim Fall]
Last year, the high school,
the university,
509
00:46:41,090 --> 00:46:43,634
the junior high, the junior varsity...
510
00:46:43,718 --> 00:46:45,928
Nobody lost a football game.
511
00:46:46,220 --> 00:46:48,556
We were like 60-0 for the year.
512
00:46:49,306 --> 00:46:54,061
This gets really hokey, but that's...
that's small-town America, and that's...
513
00:46:54,144 --> 00:46:58,273
That's where we are and I guess
that's what I am, and I'm proud of it.
514
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:10,620
[Melinda]
It just felt like a fresh start
and kind of a weight lifted.
515
00:47:10,703 --> 00:47:13,122
[woman] Okay, sweetie. All set.
516
00:47:17,918 --> 00:47:20,129
[Melinda]
It's kind of empowering
in a way.
517
00:47:20,212 --> 00:47:26,594
To... have to support the whole family
and the triumphs, the feeling strong.
518
00:47:28,888 --> 00:47:31,766
We were pretty happy
there for a while.
519
00:47:43,736 --> 00:47:44,820
[Charlie] Good.
520
00:47:47,865 --> 00:47:49,617
Right when things
started getting better,
521
00:47:50,201 --> 00:47:54,455
Daisy's sexual assault
case happened and...
522
00:47:55,748 --> 00:47:59,919
Maryville being that kind of
blessing to me and my family just...
523
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:03,756
It really did kind of dissolve
in an overnight fashion.
524
00:48:18,062 --> 00:48:21,941
[Daisy] Do you know how, like, Jay Z,
it's like J-A-Y-Z?
525
00:48:22,024 --> 00:48:24,569
-[Paige] Yeah.
-I'm doing that, but with a D.
526
00:48:24,652 --> 00:48:27,822
-So it's like Day-Z.
-Oh. [chuckles]
527
00:48:27,905 --> 00:48:29,990
[Paige] Where are the scissors?
528
00:48:30,074 --> 00:48:32,452
[Daisy in funny accent]
You know what? Quit your whining.
529
00:48:32,535 --> 00:48:37,081
I buy you a T-shirt with some glittered
letters and all you do is complain.
530
00:48:37,164 --> 00:48:42,002
I pay for your school.
I feed you, clothe you.
531
00:48:42,086 --> 00:48:44,922
Put a roof over your head.
All I hear is naggin'.
532
00:48:47,091 --> 00:48:50,970
[Robin Bourland]
For Paige, I think,
it's kind of a double-edged sword.
533
00:48:51,220 --> 00:48:54,348
The juvenile that assaulted Paige
went to court
534
00:48:54,431 --> 00:49:00,395
and the judge asked him
if he had raped Paige.
535
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,065
And he said, "Yes." He said,
"Was she intoxicated?"
536
00:49:03,149 --> 00:49:05,276
And he said, "Yes."
He said, "Did she tell you 'no'?"
537
00:49:05,359 --> 00:49:06,611
And he said, "Yes."
538
00:49:06,694 --> 00:49:10,781
He was the only one out of the whole bunch
that admitted what he did.
539
00:49:10,865 --> 00:49:14,494
And I think it was probably
healing for her to hear that.
540
00:49:15,410 --> 00:49:16,912
[Daisy] Don't be shady.
541
00:49:16,996 --> 00:49:19,832
[Robin]
The negative is,
she carried around a lot of guilt about
542
00:49:19,915 --> 00:49:21,750
what happened to Daisy.
543
00:49:25,295 --> 00:49:27,214
[Daisy] Ah, success.
544
00:49:33,638 --> 00:49:35,973
[Daisy]
I was just in kind of total shock.
545
00:49:36,056 --> 00:49:39,727
Like, I thought something bad
would never happen to me.
546
00:49:39,810 --> 00:49:41,687
That after my dad died,
547
00:49:41,770 --> 00:49:46,317
like, I already had my deal
of grief in life. I get to...
548
00:49:46,692 --> 00:49:49,403
just live a life where
I'm invincible now, like...
549
00:49:50,779 --> 00:49:53,782
And that's just
a stupid teenage thought.
550
00:49:53,866 --> 00:49:56,118
We really aren't invincible.
551
00:50:01,248 --> 00:50:04,251
People really were kind of, like,
verbally attacking me.
552
00:50:05,628 --> 00:50:10,299
A lot people would just say things,
like... calling me a liar.
553
00:50:10,758 --> 00:50:16,722
I was told not to say anything because
it could just mess with the case.
554
00:50:17,723 --> 00:50:20,309
Like, I really wanted
to stand up for myself,
555
00:50:20,392 --> 00:50:23,312
because not very many people
were standing up for me.
556
00:50:33,197 --> 00:50:35,866
[Charlie]
One day,
my sister was walking to class
557
00:50:35,950 --> 00:50:37,743
in the hallway from the bathroom.
558
00:50:38,828 --> 00:50:43,082
This kid in my class, he decided
he was gonna call her "a lying slut"
559
00:50:43,165 --> 00:50:45,125
and yell it outside of the door.
560
00:50:45,209 --> 00:50:49,129
And she heard it and she ran
back to the bathroom crying.
561
00:50:50,297 --> 00:50:54,176
I can't tell you what kind of things
ran through my mind.
562
00:50:55,344 --> 00:50:58,848
I said something to him, like,
along the lines of,
563
00:50:58,931 --> 00:51:00,975
"Don't you ever say anything
to her again."
564
00:51:01,058 --> 00:51:03,728
And I knew for a fact,
he's a little weeny bag.
565
00:51:03,811 --> 00:51:06,313
He would have been
easy to kick the crap out of.
566
00:51:14,571 --> 00:51:17,742
There was kind of a rumor,
there was no for sure about it,
567
00:51:17,825 --> 00:51:21,787
but I found out from the grapevine
that there was a video.
568
00:51:25,290 --> 00:51:27,793
One of the few people I still talk to,
569
00:51:27,877 --> 00:51:32,214
had seen it and heard about
it being passed around.
570
00:51:33,465 --> 00:51:37,637
He said that it was kind of blurry
and it was really dark.
571
00:51:41,140 --> 00:51:44,184
And then it got more graphic and...
572
00:51:45,185 --> 00:51:49,732
him on top of her
and she was just kind of, like...
573
00:51:50,190 --> 00:51:53,485
limp and not really functioning very well.
574
00:52:10,169 --> 00:52:12,629
He guaranteed I didn't wanna see it
575
00:52:12,713 --> 00:52:16,466
and if I did,
that bad things would happen.
576
00:52:28,854 --> 00:52:32,191
[Glidden]
I know I'm not as young,
sharp and smart as you young guys.
577
00:53:58,485 --> 00:54:02,447
[White]
Within four hours
of getting the initial call,
578
00:54:02,531 --> 00:54:04,658
that phone was in evidence.
579
00:54:04,742 --> 00:54:08,495
Um, the phone was sent to the forensic
laboratory in Kansas City.
580
00:54:08,578 --> 00:54:09,704
Their report came back,
581
00:54:09,789 --> 00:54:12,499
said that whatever was on
that phone was deleted
582
00:54:12,582 --> 00:54:16,086
and that through the magic
of Apple computers,
583
00:54:16,170 --> 00:54:18,964
when they say delete,
they mean delete.
584
00:54:19,048 --> 00:54:23,010
It's not like a regular computer
or an Android phone,
585
00:54:23,093 --> 00:54:27,473
where you can go back...
Where you can go back... Move.
586
00:54:28,515 --> 00:54:31,059
And you can piece stuff back together
on a hard drive.
587
00:54:31,143 --> 00:54:33,270
When they say delete,
they mean delete.
588
00:54:33,353 --> 00:54:35,522
All the people saying
that there's a video out there,
589
00:54:35,605 --> 00:54:37,774
all the people that are saying
that they saw a video,
590
00:54:37,858 --> 00:54:40,444
there's no nice way to say it,
they're liars.
591
00:54:40,986 --> 00:54:44,323
You know, unfortunately,
you have a lot of people involved in this
592
00:54:44,406 --> 00:54:47,576
that are running around,
telling a lot of stories.
593
00:54:47,659 --> 00:54:49,328
Um... [clicks tongue]
594
00:54:49,411 --> 00:54:51,788
You know, and without pointing fingers...
595
00:54:53,498 --> 00:54:57,837
it serves to benefit people's causes
596
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:01,966
by making a lot of things up that really
didn't happen and really doesn't exist.
597
00:55:02,549 --> 00:55:06,553
But don't underestimate
the need for attention.
598
00:55:07,137 --> 00:55:09,264
Especially young girls.
599
00:55:09,348 --> 00:55:11,976
There's a lot of pressure
on young girls in our society
600
00:55:12,059 --> 00:55:16,563
to be pretty, to be liked, to...
to be the popular one.
601
00:55:16,646 --> 00:55:21,318
All of those things. And it's not fair,
but it is how our society works.
602
00:55:22,111 --> 00:55:23,445
[line ringing]
603
00:55:25,865 --> 00:55:27,199
[White on phone]
This is Darren.
604
00:55:27,282 --> 00:55:29,910
[Melinda on phone]
Hi, Darren.
This is Melinda Coleman.
605
00:55:29,993 --> 00:55:32,204
-[White]
How are you?
-[Melinda]
All right. How are you?
606
00:55:32,287 --> 00:55:33,622
[White]
Oh, I'm all right.
607
00:55:33,705 --> 00:55:37,334
[Melinda]
Um, I... I guess
I haven't heard anything at all.
608
00:55:37,417 --> 00:55:40,420
I don't know what's going on
at all with any of the case
609
00:55:40,504 --> 00:55:44,508
and I just kind of wanted to stay
in the loop, if that was all right.
610
00:55:44,591 --> 00:55:46,760
[White]
Well, it's in the court system.
611
00:55:46,844 --> 00:55:49,012
Of course, they've been arraigned.
So now...
612
00:55:49,096 --> 00:55:53,058
there'll be hearings and more hearings
and more hearings.
613
00:55:53,142 --> 00:55:57,729
So, court things could drag out and...
614
00:55:57,812 --> 00:55:58,855
[Melinda]
Mmm-hmm.
615
00:55:58,939 --> 00:56:01,233
[White]
They...
it can take literally months.
616
00:56:03,110 --> 00:56:05,946
[Melinda]
All right.
And as far as the...
617
00:56:06,488 --> 00:56:09,241
the cell phone,
the video's not retrievable.
618
00:56:09,324 --> 00:56:11,493
You guys couldn't get
anything out of that?
619
00:56:11,576 --> 00:56:14,204
[White]
No. Nothing at all.
620
00:56:14,288 --> 00:56:15,664
[Melinda]
Okay.
621
00:56:15,747 --> 00:56:18,250
[White]
I'm sure that
you'll have more questions.
622
00:56:18,333 --> 00:56:19,459
Feel free to call. Okay?
623
00:56:19,543 --> 00:56:21,169
-[Melinda]
All right. Thanks.
-All right.
624
00:56:21,253 --> 00:56:22,671
-[White]
You bet. Bye.
-Bye.
625
00:56:22,754 --> 00:56:23,755
[phone beeps]
626
00:56:26,592 --> 00:56:28,969
[Melinda]
I called the sheriff
and the prosecutor
627
00:56:29,053 --> 00:56:30,887
and they told me everything was great.
628
00:56:30,971 --> 00:56:32,556
They had everything, not to worry,
629
00:56:32,639 --> 00:56:35,184
it would be in court
for several more months.
630
00:56:35,767 --> 00:56:38,228
Came home from work,
stopped at the grocery store,
631
00:56:38,312 --> 00:56:42,316
and Robin, the mother of the other girl
that was assaulted, called me and said,
632
00:56:42,399 --> 00:56:44,443
"Melinda, they dropped
all the charges today."
633
00:56:47,487 --> 00:56:49,740
[reporter]
Charges are dropped
against two Maryville teens
634
00:56:49,823 --> 00:56:51,700
accused in a sexual assault case.
635
00:56:51,783 --> 00:56:54,995
The Nodaway County prosecutor dismissed
a felony sexual assault charge
636
00:56:55,078 --> 00:56:56,538
against Matthew Barnett
637
00:56:56,622 --> 00:57:00,167
and a felony exploitation of a minor
charge against Jordan Zech.
638
00:57:00,250 --> 00:57:03,045
Rice says he did not believe
he could prove the allegations
639
00:57:03,128 --> 00:57:05,005
against the teens
beyond a reasonable doubt.
640
00:57:05,088 --> 00:57:08,133
We did have all the medical
and all the information
641
00:57:08,216 --> 00:57:11,595
where we could make a decision
based on the evidence,
642
00:57:11,678 --> 00:57:15,975
and I am absolutely convinced
that was the right call to do.
643
00:57:16,058 --> 00:57:18,435
And it was the right decision
to dismiss it.
644
00:57:20,687 --> 00:57:23,690
[Melinda]
You know what?
They're just lying.
645
00:57:24,858 --> 00:57:27,361
Initially, I thought it was only the boys.
646
00:57:28,862 --> 00:57:30,614
But I think it goes deeper than that.
647
00:57:32,407 --> 00:57:34,743
I think it's political.
648
00:57:42,417 --> 00:57:45,921
[Robin]
You know, the Barnetts
are well-known in northwest Missouri.
649
00:57:46,546 --> 00:57:49,591
The grandpa is
a former state representative,
650
00:57:49,675 --> 00:57:51,426
former state highway patrolman.
651
00:57:52,010 --> 00:57:55,180
And I hate to say that
that had anything to do with it,
652
00:57:55,264 --> 00:57:56,390
but I really think it did.
653
00:58:02,562 --> 00:58:03,981
In a small town, in a small area,
654
00:58:04,064 --> 00:58:08,152
everybody is related,
everybody is somehow connected,
655
00:58:08,235 --> 00:58:11,780
and I think when you're, you know,
in law enforcement,
656
00:58:11,863 --> 00:58:14,658
it's harder, sometimes,
to separate yourselves.
657
00:58:15,367 --> 00:58:16,660
[crowd cheering]
658
00:58:20,205 --> 00:58:22,624
It became more important
to shield the boys
659
00:58:22,708 --> 00:58:25,669
than it did to find justice for the girls.
660
00:58:26,169 --> 00:58:28,839
The one that is the banner
for your community,
661
00:58:28,922 --> 00:58:30,382
you don't wanna see them in trouble.
662
00:58:30,465 --> 00:58:32,676
You don't wanna think
those things about 'em.
663
00:58:33,677 --> 00:58:35,387
They're the heroes of small towns.
664
00:58:37,222 --> 00:58:41,268
I guess the wrong, if I wanna say "wrong,"
boy raped her.
665
00:58:47,858 --> 00:58:50,736
[White]
One of the parts
that people have blown out of proportion
666
00:58:50,819 --> 00:58:53,196
in this entire case
667
00:58:53,613 --> 00:58:57,076
is that everybody wants to
throw the word "rape" out there.
668
00:58:57,159 --> 00:58:59,202
It's very popular.
669
00:58:59,369 --> 00:59:02,080
The rape, the Maryville rape,
the Coleman rape.
670
00:59:02,497 --> 00:59:06,085
Nothing that occurred
that night ever, ever,
671
00:59:06,168 --> 00:59:10,172
rose to the level of the
elements of the crime of rape.
672
00:59:11,715 --> 00:59:14,884
Whether... whether we agree
with this or not,
673
00:59:16,428 --> 00:59:19,431
the people of that age,
in the state of Missouri,
674
00:59:19,514 --> 00:59:21,892
can have consensual sex.
675
00:59:22,559 --> 00:59:24,644
Forcible compulsion
is the primary component
676
00:59:24,728 --> 00:59:26,521
of the crime of rape.
677
00:59:26,646 --> 00:59:30,067
[stammers] You know, it's just not there.
678
00:59:30,150 --> 00:59:33,487
[interviewer] So forcible compulsion
doesn't apply if you have sex
679
00:59:33,570 --> 00:59:35,614
with somebody
who is unconscious or semi-conscious?
680
00:59:35,697 --> 00:59:37,866
Well, see, now, that's a whole...
681
00:59:38,908 --> 00:59:39,951
another...
682
00:59:41,453 --> 00:59:48,377
element for lawyers and legislators
and people like that to figure out.
683
00:59:51,254 --> 00:59:53,799
[Kevin Collison]
Other media,
some of them significant,
684
00:59:53,882 --> 00:59:56,218
had already written about it,
but when we reported it
685
00:59:56,301 --> 00:59:58,553
and it was picked up
in the world of social media,
686
00:59:58,637 --> 01:00:00,514
that's when this erupted into a firestorm
687
01:00:00,597 --> 01:00:02,682
and all this pressure suddenly developed.
688
01:00:16,363 --> 01:00:18,115
[distorted voice]
Two girls
have been raped
689
01:00:18,198 --> 01:00:20,659
in the town of Maryville, Missouri.
690
01:00:20,742 --> 01:00:25,539
Another high school football star,
the grandson of a Missouri state official,
691
01:00:25,622 --> 01:00:26,998
has walked free.
692
01:00:27,081 --> 01:00:30,419
How do the residents of Maryville
sleep at night?
693
01:00:31,836 --> 01:00:34,964
Online activist group Anonymous
has called for an investigation
694
01:00:35,048 --> 01:00:36,841
on how the case was handled.
695
01:00:36,925 --> 01:00:40,137
Demonstrators will gather
at the county courthouse next week.
696
01:00:40,220 --> 01:00:41,971
Tonight, Missouri's lieutenant governor
697
01:00:42,055 --> 01:00:44,558
is urging the state's attorney general
and a county prosecutor
698
01:00:44,641 --> 01:00:47,269
to convene a grand jury to revisit
a controversial case
699
01:00:47,352 --> 01:00:48,895
that was dismissed last year.
700
01:00:48,978 --> 01:00:53,650
You know, I don't know if the whole nation
needed to be involved in it.
701
01:00:53,733 --> 01:00:58,405
I would've just liked to get
the attention of a few people
702
01:00:58,488 --> 01:01:01,324
so that way something
could have been done with it.
703
01:01:02,909 --> 01:01:05,620
I talked to people here in town
and at the school,
704
01:01:05,704 --> 01:01:08,915
and in both locations,
people were very leery
705
01:01:08,998 --> 01:01:11,918
about talking to me on camera
about this case.
706
01:01:13,503 --> 01:01:15,046
[Fall]
It's frightening when you had
707
01:01:15,129 --> 01:01:18,508
a square down here
on the corner, full of people,
708
01:01:18,592 --> 01:01:22,095
lecturing about what a hellhole this is,
you know.
709
01:01:23,305 --> 01:01:24,306
They didn't know.
710
01:01:24,389 --> 01:01:29,686
We know who we are and what we are,
and we're comfortable with that.
711
01:01:29,769 --> 01:01:32,439
The picture that was painted of us,
712
01:01:32,522 --> 01:01:35,692
I don't think that's what we are.
713
01:01:35,775 --> 01:01:39,112
[reporter]
All you have to do
is google "Maryville,"
714
01:01:39,196 --> 01:01:41,406
and you're gonna find hundreds of posts.
715
01:01:41,489 --> 01:01:43,450
Many around here with whom I spoke say
716
01:01:43,533 --> 01:01:45,285
they're not happy
with what they're reading.
717
01:01:45,368 --> 01:01:47,871
In fact, they feel attacked
and even threatened.
718
01:01:47,954 --> 01:01:50,832
But what did she expect to happen
at 1:00 in the morning,
719
01:01:50,916 --> 01:01:52,083
after sneaking out?
720
01:01:52,166 --> 01:01:55,420
There are telltale signs
of this girl actually lying.
721
01:01:55,504 --> 01:01:59,424
[Paige]
It made the whole town
split up into sides.
722
01:01:59,508 --> 01:02:02,761
It was the people
that believed Daisy against...
723
01:02:02,844 --> 01:02:08,725
the Barnetts and their group
of people that were very, very vicious.
724
01:02:09,893 --> 01:02:13,355
[woman] "When an injustice happens
to one in the community,
725
01:02:13,438 --> 01:02:16,400
an injustice happens to the community.
726
01:02:16,483 --> 01:02:18,652
Daisy and Paige,
we are here for you today."
727
01:02:20,278 --> 01:02:21,404
[reporter]
New developments
728
01:02:21,488 --> 01:02:24,449
in a teenage rape investigation
in Maryville, Missouri,
729
01:02:24,533 --> 01:02:26,285
that has grabbed headlines nationwide.
730
01:02:26,368 --> 01:02:28,495
The Jackson County prosecutor's office
731
01:02:28,578 --> 01:02:31,331
has been put in charge
of taking a second look at the case.
732
01:02:31,414 --> 01:02:32,415
[Daisy]
I was excited.
733
01:02:32,499 --> 01:02:34,959
I felt like I was going to be
able to work with someone
734
01:02:35,043 --> 01:02:39,631
who was actually excited about this case
and willing to put forth a real effort.
735
01:02:44,803 --> 01:02:48,682
[Fall]
Twenty years ago,
we built a thousand-acre lake
736
01:02:48,765 --> 01:02:51,893
that has become
an area of recreational draw
737
01:02:51,976 --> 01:02:54,938
and a championship golf course
738
01:02:55,021 --> 01:02:58,900
and one of the 100 best fishing places
in the country and...
739
01:03:00,402 --> 01:03:03,655
Does anybody come and report that? No.
740
01:03:04,781 --> 01:03:09,160
But this comes up,
and here it unloads on you.
741
01:03:19,546 --> 01:03:21,965
[Jean Peters Baker]
Whenever you get
a call and someone says
742
01:03:22,048 --> 01:03:23,675
that judge so-and-so is calling,
743
01:03:23,758 --> 01:03:25,677
you hang up on that phone call
you're on
744
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:27,596
and you take the judge's call.
745
01:03:28,972 --> 01:03:31,224
And the judge tells me his name
746
01:03:31,308 --> 01:03:35,061
and then he tells me
he's from Nodaway County. And I just...
747
01:03:36,104 --> 01:03:37,647
[sighs and chuckles]
748
01:03:38,398 --> 01:03:41,401
My heart sunk a little bit,
because I thought... [sighs]
749
01:03:41,484 --> 01:03:43,820
"Oh, I bet I know why you're calling."
750
01:03:47,532 --> 01:03:52,621
When the case is built
on the testimony of the victim,
751
01:03:52,704 --> 01:03:54,914
those can be very, very hard.
752
01:03:55,332 --> 01:03:58,668
And so, I tried to collect
additional evidence.
753
01:04:01,046 --> 01:04:03,465
There was nothing about the rape kit
754
01:04:03,548 --> 01:04:07,135
I had available to me that really gave us
another "a-ha" moment.
755
01:04:08,302 --> 01:04:12,265
We tried to go back and find the phone.
756
01:04:12,349 --> 01:04:15,018
You know, "Did it exist?
Did it exist at one time?
757
01:04:15,101 --> 01:04:16,603
Could we still get it?"
758
01:04:17,521 --> 01:04:20,273
We were unsuccessful in that regard.
759
01:04:22,942 --> 01:04:25,862
[interviewer] What was the state
of the case when it was handed to you?
760
01:04:25,945 --> 01:04:28,073
In your professional opinion?
761
01:04:28,698 --> 01:04:31,075
[sighs heavily]
762
01:04:34,328 --> 01:04:39,208
I just don't think, um,
I want to answer that question.
763
01:04:49,386 --> 01:04:52,681
So, at the end of that investigation,
764
01:04:52,764 --> 01:04:57,018
I believed that we got as far
as the evidence would take us.
765
01:04:59,479 --> 01:05:03,400
Sometimes,
that doesn't tell a full story.
766
01:05:04,443 --> 01:05:06,360
But in this case,
767
01:05:06,445 --> 01:05:12,366
I believed the charge that I was able
to go forward on...
768
01:05:12,951 --> 01:05:14,744
I knew that I had the evidence to try.
769
01:05:17,038 --> 01:05:20,500
Mr. Barnett pled guilty
to endangering the welfare of a child
770
01:05:20,583 --> 01:05:22,085
in the second degree.
771
01:05:22,293 --> 01:05:23,420
In this case,
772
01:05:23,503 --> 01:05:28,216
there was insufficient evidence
to go forward on a sexual assault.
773
01:05:32,345 --> 01:05:34,013
These are very hard cases.
774
01:05:34,473 --> 01:05:36,349
The facts are hard, often.
775
01:05:36,516 --> 01:05:41,020
The legal requirements can be very hard.
And very hard to meet.
776
01:05:52,532 --> 01:05:57,036
[Melinda]
When... Jean Baker
came out with the verdict,
777
01:05:58,204 --> 01:05:59,789
it just was really stressful.
778
01:05:59,873 --> 01:06:02,667
We were waiting to see
what was gonna happen,
779
01:06:02,751 --> 01:06:04,669
what they were gonna find
in the investigation,
780
01:06:04,753 --> 01:06:06,713
and if anything was gonna be done.
781
01:06:07,714 --> 01:06:12,051
So, when it finally came out
that it was just gonna be probation,
782
01:06:13,427 --> 01:06:14,971
it was hard to deal with.
783
01:06:18,975 --> 01:06:23,605
[White]
As near as I can tell, the boys
are the only ones that have decided
784
01:06:23,688 --> 01:06:28,442
that they wanna put this behind them,
and try to move on with their lives,
785
01:06:28,526 --> 01:06:30,945
and try to make something
of themselves. They...
786
01:06:31,696 --> 01:06:33,239
I think that all of them,
787
01:06:33,323 --> 01:06:34,866
with the exception of the juvenile,
788
01:06:34,949 --> 01:06:37,327
who's still in high school,
and I think that he's doing fine,
789
01:06:37,410 --> 01:06:41,581
but I think all of the boys are,
um, going to college,
790
01:06:41,665 --> 01:06:44,501
and working, and trying to do better.
791
01:06:44,584 --> 01:06:49,631
And this is one of the real fatal flaws
of our society.
792
01:06:49,714 --> 01:06:54,343
Is that it's always... it's always
the boys. It's not always the boys.
793
01:06:54,427 --> 01:06:55,554
The girls...
794
01:06:55,637 --> 01:07:00,141
Girls have as much culpability
in this world as boys do.
795
01:07:00,224 --> 01:07:04,395
So, you know,
everybody has to take their part of it.
796
01:07:04,478 --> 01:07:06,147
And everybody has to do better.
797
01:07:06,230 --> 01:07:07,566
[interviewer] I absolutely agree.
798
01:07:07,649 --> 01:07:11,361
In this particular case, though,
the crimes were committed by boys.
799
01:07:13,363 --> 01:07:15,365
Were they? [laughs]
800
01:07:44,143 --> 01:07:45,687
[Daisy]
After the charges were dropped,
801
01:07:45,770 --> 01:07:49,232
it was just really one thing
after another.
802
01:07:49,315 --> 01:07:55,071
Like, all the drama with the social media,
and then I was getting in fights.
803
01:07:55,154 --> 01:07:58,992
I hated going to school,
I hated going out in public.
804
01:07:59,075 --> 01:08:00,994
I couldn't handle any more.
805
01:08:02,036 --> 01:08:04,664
I wanted to fight back with everyone,
806
01:08:04,748 --> 01:08:07,250
and I wanted to, you know,
I wanted them to believe me.
807
01:08:35,569 --> 01:08:39,699
You already have this wound
just ripped clean open
808
01:08:39,783 --> 01:08:43,662
and you're vulnerable and you're going
through a really hard time,
809
01:08:43,745 --> 01:08:46,748
and to have all these people
attacking you on top of it,
810
01:08:47,373 --> 01:08:50,376
it almost makes the bullying
seem more extreme.
811
01:09:15,109 --> 01:09:18,029
You begin to believe that these
bad things they're saying about you
812
01:09:18,112 --> 01:09:19,613
are actually true.
813
01:09:19,698 --> 01:09:22,742
So, your image of yourself
completely changes
814
01:09:22,826 --> 01:09:25,078
and you kind of become
a shell of yourself.
815
01:09:25,161 --> 01:09:27,789
You almost see that, you know,
816
01:09:27,872 --> 01:09:30,917
doing away with yourself
is the only way to fix things,
817
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,127
which isn't the truth at all,
818
01:09:33,211 --> 01:09:36,005
but it's all you can truly see
when you're sitting in a dark corner
819
01:09:36,089 --> 01:09:38,549
and you're not looking
around at the light.
820
01:09:43,137 --> 01:09:44,681
[Melinda]
Afterwards,
with the backlash,
821
01:09:44,764 --> 01:09:47,433
we started having issues
with vandalism of the house.
822
01:09:48,685 --> 01:09:54,524
We had issues with people threatening
to beat up the kids.
823
01:09:56,650 --> 01:09:59,612
I lost my job because of the case.
824
01:10:01,405 --> 01:10:05,618
Then we had our house burned down
in Maryville.
825
01:10:09,038 --> 01:10:10,331
It was just...
826
01:10:13,626 --> 01:10:16,129
really, really hard to believe.
827
01:10:29,475 --> 01:10:31,811
We moved back to Albany.
828
01:10:32,979 --> 01:10:34,563
Because we still had the house here,
829
01:10:34,647 --> 01:10:38,359
and I thought, at least,
the kids would be safe.
830
01:10:59,380 --> 01:11:03,592
Daisy was strong in the beginning,
but then it just starts to wear you down,
831
01:11:03,676 --> 01:11:07,680
and she just got really into a dark place.
832
01:11:13,186 --> 01:11:17,065
She started to really feel
like it was her fault
833
01:11:17,148 --> 01:11:20,401
and feel like she should have done
something different, and...
834
01:11:21,068 --> 01:11:23,696
she just internalized
all the negativity.
835
01:11:26,032 --> 01:11:28,742
She dyed her hair black.
She shaved part of her head.
836
01:11:29,994 --> 01:11:31,871
[voice breaking]
She burned herself.
837
01:11:38,628 --> 01:11:43,466
And every door in the house upstairs
is broken, because...
838
01:11:44,383 --> 01:11:47,887
we've had to kick it in to save her
when she's tried to overdose.
839
01:13:24,901 --> 01:13:26,110
[chimes]
840
01:13:55,723 --> 01:14:00,353
WASHINGTON, DC
841
01:14:03,230 --> 01:14:04,649
-[girl] Hi.
-[chuckles]
842
01:14:06,109 --> 01:14:08,361
Um, so where exactly?
843
01:14:08,444 --> 01:14:09,779
[girl] Are they healing?
844
01:14:12,615 --> 01:14:13,616
Make sure...
845
01:14:14,158 --> 01:14:15,618
[tattoo needle whirring]
846
01:14:31,467 --> 01:14:32,801
[Delaney chuckles]
847
01:14:32,885 --> 01:14:34,387
[girl] This thing is bumming me out.
848
01:14:43,604 --> 01:14:47,316
[Delaney]
Finally, meeting Daisy,
I learned...
849
01:14:48,484 --> 01:14:50,028
that, you know...
850
01:14:50,111 --> 01:14:52,196
It was a reassurance that I'm not alone.
851
01:14:57,160 --> 01:15:00,579
Oh, that feels fantastic.
Holy crap!
852
01:15:00,663 --> 01:15:01,830
[girl laughing]
853
01:15:02,832 --> 01:15:05,918
[Delaney]
Uh, this is a semicolon
Daisy tattooed on me
854
01:15:06,002 --> 01:15:10,631
and it basically is a reminder to myself
that my story's never over.
855
01:15:10,715 --> 01:15:13,843
You know, it's not over yet,
and that just like a sentence...
856
01:15:13,926 --> 01:15:16,345
like when you're writing
or typing a sentence,
857
01:15:16,429 --> 01:15:18,848
a semicolon means, like,
that's not the end.
858
01:15:20,433 --> 01:15:22,351
Can I give you a hug? I'm Angela.
859
01:15:22,435 --> 01:15:23,811
-Hi.
-Hi.
860
01:15:23,894 --> 01:15:25,979
Thank you so much for coming.
861
01:15:28,190 --> 01:15:29,734
[Angela Rose]
This is unprecedented,
862
01:15:29,817 --> 01:15:32,903
to bring these women together,
and their moms...
863
01:15:32,986 --> 01:15:34,905
that collectively have made
such a difference.
864
01:15:35,948 --> 01:15:37,491
I know that this is scary,
865
01:15:37,575 --> 01:15:40,078
but that's why we need to get
our stories and our experiences
866
01:15:40,161 --> 01:15:43,039
out there for other moms
and other high school survivors,
867
01:15:43,122 --> 01:15:46,917
so they know that they're not alone
and that this happens a lot.
868
01:15:47,751 --> 01:15:49,170
Whoever wants to share first.
869
01:15:50,254 --> 01:15:53,049
[Delaney] Okay. Um, I guess I'll go.
870
01:15:53,132 --> 01:15:57,886
Okay, well, basically, when I was 16,
uh, my parents went out of town
871
01:15:57,970 --> 01:16:03,934
and I had two girlfriends that were
supposedly spending the night.
872
01:16:04,017 --> 01:16:07,563
And I did not know,
but they invited three boys over,
873
01:16:07,646 --> 01:16:09,899
two of which I had never met before.
874
01:16:10,066 --> 01:16:11,442
And, um...
875
01:16:11,525 --> 01:16:14,904
we were all smoking weed
and I had never done that before.
876
01:16:15,404 --> 01:16:19,742
After a while, I remember everything
just got really, like, uneven.
877
01:16:20,076 --> 01:16:24,872
So, I got up and I went to my room
and the two boys followed me in
878
01:16:24,955 --> 01:16:27,208
and they had locked the door.
879
01:16:27,291 --> 01:16:30,461
I was really confused
and didn't really know what was going on
880
01:16:30,586 --> 01:16:32,671
and they sexually assaulted me.
881
01:16:32,838 --> 01:16:34,715
Um, then...
882
01:16:37,676 --> 01:16:40,429
[voice breaking] Then I found out
that the same guy had...
883
01:16:41,222 --> 01:16:45,393
sexually assaulted another girl
eight months later.
884
01:16:46,810 --> 01:16:48,812
[sighs] That part's really hard.
885
01:16:48,896 --> 01:16:52,400
And of course I felt guilty,
because if I had reported it...
886
01:16:53,692 --> 01:16:56,154
it wouldn't have happened
to the other girl.
887
01:16:56,237 --> 01:16:57,571
And she was 14.
888
01:16:59,406 --> 01:17:02,368
[Ella] I don't really
remember much, but...
889
01:17:02,576 --> 01:17:04,370
I got up and tried to leave
890
01:17:04,453 --> 01:17:08,833
and they, punched me,
knocked me out, cracked my jaw,
891
01:17:08,916 --> 01:17:12,962
and I was unconscious
for six hours. And...
892
01:17:13,045 --> 01:17:16,507
They both just continuously
raped me for six hours, until I woke up.
893
01:17:18,091 --> 01:17:20,678
And then, yeah, I...
894
01:17:21,470 --> 01:17:24,973
walked home in bloody
clothes the next day.
895
01:17:26,725 --> 01:17:28,936
[Jada] I was laid out,
passed out on the floor,
896
01:17:29,019 --> 01:17:31,605
while the, um, 18-year old
was on top of me.
897
01:17:33,065 --> 01:17:34,275
They took pictures.
898
01:17:46,453 --> 01:17:48,038
I'm sorry. [clears throat]
899
01:17:49,665 --> 01:17:52,210
They took pictures.
Uh, they posted it online.
900
01:17:52,293 --> 01:17:53,544
And, uh...
901
01:17:55,128 --> 01:17:58,341
We reported it
as soon as it happened
902
01:17:58,424 --> 01:18:02,094
and it took them forever.
And we had to report it again.
903
01:18:04,096 --> 01:18:08,934
And then everything just went black.
And then I remember waking up in my yard,
904
01:18:09,017 --> 01:18:11,604
half-frozen and trying
to make it to the door.
905
01:18:11,687 --> 01:18:14,106
And I remember not being
able to feel my feet.
906
01:18:14,190 --> 01:18:16,984
And I remember having
this really vivid dream,
907
01:18:17,067 --> 01:18:20,279
almost like I was lucid dreaming,
that my dad was just like,
908
01:18:20,363 --> 01:18:25,033
"Hey, you gotta get up and go inside."
But no one really believed me.
909
01:18:27,119 --> 01:18:31,374
[Delaney] It's unbelievable what people
will say about you and what, you know,
910
01:18:31,457 --> 01:18:35,503
how the truth gets hidden
when so many people don't believe you.
911
01:18:35,586 --> 01:18:38,130
And even now, I fight every single day
912
01:18:38,214 --> 01:18:40,841
trying to convince myself
that what I did was right
913
01:18:40,924 --> 01:18:44,553
and what I'm still doing is right,
so, um...
914
01:18:44,637 --> 01:18:48,307
I mean, just having Daisy,
and Ella and Jada, like...
915
01:18:48,391 --> 01:18:51,810
I feel like we are an army, so...
916
01:18:52,436 --> 01:18:54,605
I'm glad I have all of you guys
here today. [chuckles]
917
01:18:59,860 --> 01:19:01,362
[tattoo needle whirring]
918
01:19:18,963 --> 01:19:20,881
[man] The water is so cold, every time.
919
01:19:20,964 --> 01:19:22,425
[Daisy chuckles]
920
01:19:24,176 --> 01:19:27,471
[Charlie]
I think Daisy's coping
with things a lot better.
921
01:19:27,554 --> 01:19:30,307
We've gotten her
into some intensive counseling.
922
01:19:33,727 --> 01:19:37,690
She's still that sweet girl,
but she's like a hedgehog.
923
01:19:38,649 --> 01:19:41,277
She's got the quills
and she'll poke you with them
924
01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:43,446
before you ever get to anything soft.
925
01:19:49,201 --> 01:19:51,370
It's sad, but...
926
01:19:52,996 --> 01:19:55,541
I'm sure not scooping her up
off the bathroom floor,
927
01:19:55,624 --> 01:19:57,835
running her to the ER
on my shoulder anymore
928
01:19:57,918 --> 01:20:00,003
and that, in itself, is a blessing to me.
929
01:20:25,404 --> 01:20:26,572
[Charlie and boys]
Dear Lord.
930
01:20:26,655 --> 01:20:29,033
The battles we go through in life.
931
01:20:29,116 --> 01:20:31,076
Give us a chance that's fair.
932
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:33,037
A chance to earn our stripes.
933
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:34,455
If we should win.
934
01:20:34,538 --> 01:20:36,123
Let it be by the code.
935
01:20:36,206 --> 01:20:37,416
If we should lose.
936
01:20:37,499 --> 01:20:38,959
We stand by the road.
937
01:20:39,043 --> 01:20:40,294
Day by day!
938
01:20:40,377 --> 01:20:41,920
We get better and better!
939
01:20:42,004 --> 01:20:43,339
Till we can't be beat!
940
01:20:43,422 --> 01:20:45,924
Won't be beat!
941
01:20:46,008 --> 01:20:47,926
-[Charlie] Let's go, boys.
-[boys] Go, boys!
942
01:20:49,970 --> 01:20:51,764
[Charlie]
The signs.
Do we remember the signs?
943
01:20:52,306 --> 01:20:53,515
[boys] Steal.
944
01:20:53,599 --> 01:20:55,058
[laughs]
945
01:20:55,142 --> 01:20:56,226
[boys] Three hard steps.
946
01:20:56,310 --> 01:20:57,394
Yeah, three hard steps.
947
01:20:57,478 --> 01:21:00,481
Any questions? Any at all?
948
01:21:00,564 --> 01:21:02,274
All right. Get focused.
Let's go.
949
01:21:08,072 --> 01:21:11,158
[Charlie]
I never pictured myself
being a Little League coach.
950
01:21:12,743 --> 01:21:15,788
When they asked me to do it,
I kind of rolled my eyes, like,
951
01:21:15,871 --> 01:21:18,707
"They're not gonna stand a chance,
I'm gonna make them run."
952
01:21:18,791 --> 01:21:22,335
And, you know, you bond with those kids.
953
01:21:29,092 --> 01:21:32,262
-Go.
-[boy] Run it out! Run it out!
954
01:21:33,138 --> 01:21:34,682
Yeah!
955
01:21:34,765 --> 01:21:37,810
[Charlie]
I don't think I ever thought
about teaching them greater life lessons
956
01:21:37,893 --> 01:21:41,439
until I had heard a couple boys
957
01:21:41,522 --> 01:21:44,149
making comments
about a girl, and I said,
958
01:21:44,232 --> 01:21:48,571
"All right, we're having a pow-wow now,"
and I circled everybody up
959
01:21:48,654 --> 01:21:52,908
and I was like, "Here's the thing, guys,
I'm here to teach you baseball,
960
01:21:52,991 --> 01:21:55,494
but this isn't the kind of stuff I accept.
961
01:21:55,578 --> 01:21:57,580
This isn't what I'm about.
962
01:21:57,663 --> 01:22:01,374
If it's what you're about, that's fine,
but that's not what we are gonna be about
963
01:22:01,459 --> 01:22:04,545
and you are more than welcome
to take yourself out of here."
964
01:22:05,754 --> 01:22:10,884
After that one incident,
something clicked. It really did click.
965
01:22:13,137 --> 01:22:16,265
I don't look to be
their father or anything,
966
01:22:16,348 --> 01:22:20,811
but I thought, "I want to be part
of something bigger than myself."
967
01:22:22,062 --> 01:22:26,066
And maybe I can kind of help them along.
968
01:22:26,149 --> 01:22:27,234
Down!
969
01:22:30,403 --> 01:22:32,030
[boy] Race ya.
970
01:22:32,114 --> 01:22:33,657
There you go. There you go.
971
01:22:33,741 --> 01:22:35,451
[crowd cheering]
972
01:22:39,622 --> 01:22:42,249
[Charlie]
I really just enjoy
watching them grow.
973
01:22:42,332 --> 01:22:43,792
Because in the process, they help me,
974
01:22:43,876 --> 01:22:47,463
they teach me a lot more about myself
and how I was at that age,
975
01:22:47,546 --> 01:22:52,551
and I guess I really start
to understand a lot more.
976
01:22:58,390 --> 01:22:59,933
-Atta boy.
-[man] Way to go.
977
01:23:00,017 --> 01:23:01,935
Way to help yourself, Johnny.
978
01:23:02,019 --> 01:23:03,186
[man] Come on, Johnny.
979
01:23:31,924 --> 01:23:34,552
[Sheila]
We said our goodbyes to Audrie.
980
01:23:37,596 --> 01:23:40,599
But, I mean, we kept thinking,
981
01:23:40,683 --> 01:23:45,478
you know, "What could have been so bad
that would've driven her to this?"
982
01:23:46,354 --> 01:23:48,816
After the night of the sexual assault,
983
01:23:48,899 --> 01:23:53,361
her communications were captured
on Facebook Messenger.
984
01:23:53,445 --> 01:23:58,200
Sometimes the person tormenting her
was faceless or nameless.
985
01:24:00,786 --> 01:24:05,708
We know from what she said in her process
of investigating her own crime
986
01:24:05,791 --> 01:24:09,837
that she felt,
because of what had happened to her,
987
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:12,005
her reputation was ruined.
988
01:24:12,089 --> 01:24:13,841
And it was ruined forever.
989
01:24:14,842 --> 01:24:16,426
She didn't see...
990
01:24:17,427 --> 01:24:20,347
any light at the end
of the tunnel, any future.
991
01:24:27,896 --> 01:24:31,274
[Larry]
The boys,
they were 15 at the time.
992
01:24:31,358 --> 01:24:35,320
They were convicted
of having child pornography,
993
01:24:35,403 --> 01:24:39,825
um, and committing, um, sexual battery.
994
01:24:39,908 --> 01:24:43,203
Multiple felonies for each boy.
995
01:24:46,707 --> 01:24:50,002
One of 'em got 30 days,
one of 'em got 45 days.
996
01:24:50,085 --> 01:24:53,797
But it was non-consecutive,
it was weekend only.
997
01:24:53,881 --> 01:24:55,716
Basically, weekend detention.
998
01:24:57,676 --> 01:25:01,429
They were never suspended or expelled.
999
01:25:02,180 --> 01:25:06,643
We pretty much knew that, as juveniles,
they were gonna get a slap on the wrist.
1000
01:25:07,769 --> 01:25:10,772
All right, I should give you the terms
and we can go over them right now.
1001
01:25:10,856 --> 01:25:13,609
Number one, the boys admit the allegations
1002
01:25:13,692 --> 01:25:18,822
as contained in the respected criminal
complaints that pertain to Audrie Pott.
1003
01:25:18,905 --> 01:25:24,620
[lawyer] The second term was
that their written apology is public.
1004
01:25:24,703 --> 01:25:28,373
They're sorry for the family's loss,
and they basically go through
1005
01:25:28,456 --> 01:25:30,793
all the things that were important
to Larry and Sheila.
1006
01:25:30,876 --> 01:25:34,922
The amazing thing about this is,
had we have gone to a trial,
1007
01:25:35,005 --> 01:25:38,967
we would never have been able to get
the result that we got.
1008
01:25:39,051 --> 01:25:40,636
And who knows how you would...
1009
01:25:40,719 --> 01:25:43,513
[Sheila]
We brought
the wrongful death suit because we knew
1010
01:25:43,597 --> 01:25:46,767
that we weren't gonna get justice
in the juvenile court.
1011
01:25:47,351 --> 01:25:52,898
I felt that, in the civil suit at least,
1012
01:25:52,981 --> 01:25:56,902
it would be public and people
would know what really happened.
1013
01:25:56,985 --> 01:26:00,739
It was about them taking responsibility
and accountability for their actions.
1014
01:26:00,823 --> 01:26:05,202
But ultimately, for us,
it was about clearing Audrie's name.
1015
01:26:05,285 --> 01:26:09,873
Yes. Something very wrong happened here.
It shouldn't happen to anyone else.
1016
01:26:09,957 --> 01:26:13,126
And the only reason, we all know,
because Audrie was extremely private,
1017
01:26:13,210 --> 01:26:16,839
that we could have brought it forward
is because she's not with us anymore.
1018
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:21,760
I think, more so than ever before,
1019
01:26:21,843 --> 01:26:25,472
this subject is out there,
and people are talking about it,
1020
01:26:25,555 --> 01:26:27,975
and this has to stop.
1021
01:26:41,530 --> 01:26:46,201
[John R] Part of our settlement
in the lawsuit was to...
1022
01:26:46,451 --> 01:26:50,247
have a 45-minute interview
with you guys here.
1023
01:26:52,833 --> 01:26:54,710
We had to, um...
1024
01:26:55,627 --> 01:27:02,342
We had to plead to stuff in order for me
to graduate, um, high school.
1025
01:27:04,552 --> 01:27:07,931
I've definitely learned from all this.
1026
01:27:08,015 --> 01:27:14,229
I mean, there's a lot of different things
that guys and girls think.
1027
01:27:14,312 --> 01:27:16,398
[interviewer 1]
What have you learned about girls?
1028
01:27:16,481 --> 01:27:21,653
Um, I mean, girls,
they gossip, really. [chuckles]
1029
01:27:21,737 --> 01:27:26,533
There's a lot of gossip between girls
and, uh, you know, um...
1030
01:27:28,576 --> 01:27:33,123
guys are more laid-back
and don't really care.
1031
01:27:35,667 --> 01:27:39,212
So, that's what I've learned, for sure.
1032
01:27:44,051 --> 01:27:47,512
[interviewer 2]
I'm curious if there was
a moment during that night,
1033
01:27:47,595 --> 01:27:50,933
when you knew,
"This has gone too far."
1034
01:27:51,016 --> 01:27:53,018
Was there a moment like that for you?
1035
01:27:53,101 --> 01:27:54,186
[John R]
Yeah.
1036
01:27:54,269 --> 01:27:55,812
[interviewer 2]
Can you talk about that?
1037
01:27:57,272 --> 01:28:01,610
[John R]
Well, I don't know, I've kind of
always been unhappy after that. I mean...
1038
01:28:01,985 --> 01:28:02,903
It's...
1039
01:28:03,862 --> 01:28:05,864
it wasn't right and...
1040
01:28:07,908 --> 01:28:10,869
I knew that, I mean, at the time.
1041
01:28:10,952 --> 01:28:13,914
There was drinking involved,
and it's not like...
1042
01:28:15,081 --> 01:28:16,625
we thought everything was okay.
1043
01:28:16,708 --> 01:28:20,545
I mean, yeah...
[stammers] Nothing was okay, but...
1044
01:28:21,671 --> 01:28:25,050
I've always felt, like,
not okay about it.
1045
01:28:25,133 --> 01:28:27,719
Like, I don't know, every day or so.
1046
01:28:29,471 --> 01:28:31,807
I don't know
what I really thought back then.
1047
01:28:31,890 --> 01:28:36,144
But I just never imagined
anything like what happened now.
1048
01:28:36,228 --> 01:28:40,732
I don't know. I didn't imagine
my whole life to be changed...
1049
01:28:40,816 --> 01:28:41,942
Yeah, I don't know.
1050
01:28:42,025 --> 01:28:43,693
Like, forever changed, so...
1051
01:29:23,358 --> 01:29:28,280
[Daisy]
Personally, I don't know what has
happened with the boys since that night.
1052
01:29:29,572 --> 01:29:31,616
But I have a feeling that,
you know,
1053
01:29:31,699 --> 01:29:36,663
since they haven't had to go through
as much crap as I have,
1054
01:29:36,746 --> 01:29:40,417
that they haven't really had time
to reflect on who they are as people
1055
01:29:40,500 --> 01:29:44,462
or else they would've stepped forward
and taken responsibility.
1056
01:29:49,134 --> 01:29:50,718
Honestly, at this point in my life,
1057
01:29:50,802 --> 01:29:53,846
I can't even recognize
the person I was four years ago.
1058
01:29:55,890 --> 01:29:58,268
At one point in time, I really...
I just wanted revenge
1059
01:29:58,351 --> 01:30:00,562
and that's all I wanted and stuff, but...
1060
01:30:00,645 --> 01:30:02,314
I mean, it's a lot harder
1061
01:30:02,397 --> 01:30:06,443
just living your life full of hate
and everything, so I just figured,
1062
01:30:06,526 --> 01:30:10,780
at one point, I was like, "I'm kind of
done with just being mad at everyone,
1063
01:30:10,863 --> 01:30:14,826
and being mad all the time,
and just being a big ball of emotion.
1064
01:30:14,910 --> 01:30:17,245
I wanna be happy and move on
with my life."
1065
01:30:17,329 --> 01:30:19,622
So that's just kind of what I did,
I mean...
1066
01:30:20,749 --> 01:30:23,335
And that doesn't always mean
just forgetting the past,
1067
01:30:23,418 --> 01:30:25,628
it just kind of means forgiving the past.
1068
01:30:25,712 --> 01:30:27,047
[crowd applauding]
1069
01:30:29,674 --> 01:30:34,304
[man] Daisy Coleman is a recipient
of an athletic scholarship
1070
01:30:34,387 --> 01:30:37,265
from Missouri Valley College.
1071
01:30:37,349 --> 01:30:39,309
[applauding and cheering]
1072
01:31:07,295 --> 01:31:12,800
The class of 2015 awards
an honorary diploma to Audrie Taylor Pott.
1073
01:31:12,884 --> 01:31:14,678
[crowd cheering and applauding]
1074
01:31:47,794 --> 01:31:50,130
I was way too afraid to report it
1075
01:31:50,213 --> 01:31:54,259
because I was bullied, I was ostracized,
I was threatened.
1076
01:31:54,342 --> 01:31:58,138
I found my voice when I decided
to show my face in my first interview.
1077
01:31:58,221 --> 01:32:01,766
The guys recorded
and took photos of the sexual assault,
1078
01:32:01,849 --> 01:32:03,393
and then posted them online.
1079
01:32:03,476 --> 01:32:08,273
Finally, after being misunderstood
for years
1080
01:32:08,356 --> 01:32:12,777
and going through so much pain
and absolutely hating myself,
1081
01:32:12,861 --> 01:32:17,323
I decided that, if no one's gonna talk
about it, then I will.
1082
01:32:17,407 --> 01:32:21,494
Since my friends didn't stand up for me,
I urge other people to speak out,
1083
01:32:21,578 --> 01:32:24,289
because you can't ignore
an army of voices.
1084
01:32:24,372 --> 01:32:28,210
And I would like to see people stand up
for others who have been assaulted.
1085
01:32:28,293 --> 01:32:31,671
Because the words of our enemies aren't
as awful as the silence of our friends.
1086
01:32:31,754 --> 01:32:32,880
Thank you.
1087
01:32:35,217 --> 01:32:37,260
