is and where it is.

smoking gun, there is some

identification officers
184

found a lighter,

of an entrance on the rear
of the building.
191
00:09:27,434 --> 00:09:31,102
Directly above the doors to that
entrance was a camera that
192
00:09:31,204 --> 00:09:33,505
would have captured all
the events that took place
193

her account of the evening.
379
00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:46,284

involved in the murder.

and in January 2018,
the case goes to trial.
700
00:39:02,341 --> 00:39:06,743
Anne's legal team argue
that she has a history
701
00:39:06,845 --> 00:39:10,647
of mental illness and cannot
be held criminally responsible.
702
00:39:13,518 --> 00:39:15,652
We all got together and went
down to the courthouse
703
00:39:17,055 --> 00:39:21,491
and waited for the person
to come in that killed him.
704

We were all just...
705

In shock,
we all just gasped.
706
00:39:26,965 --> 00:39:28,998
She was, like,
a little girl, young.
707
00:39:30,969 --> 00:39:33,203
Just -- just didn't look
like -- just a kid.
708
00:39:37,142 --> 00:39:39,776
She probably weighed
a hundred pounds soaking wet,
709
00:39:39,878 --> 00:39:42,912
and my brother was,
uh, almost six foot.

with marcel reardon on
the night in question.
714

715
00:39:57,095 --> 00:40:00,263
and gone to a walmart,
where she bought a hammer.
716
00:40:01,833 --> 00:40:03,833
She admitted to coming back
and then later
717
00:40:03,935 --> 00:40:06,136
going to her apartment
building with marcel reardon.
718
00:40:07,739 --> 00:40:09,272
She admitted to
having struck him in
719
00:40:09,374 --> 00:40:12,642
the head with a hammer
several times until he died.
720
00:40:14,012 --> 00:40:16,446
She admitted to going
back downtown
721
00:40:16,548 --> 00:40:19,449
and throwing the hammer
into the harbor.

marcel was lying dead

suffering from
schizophrenia and delusions
728

bradbury: When she was with
marcel back at her apartment,
729
00:40:40,305 --> 00:40:43,072
she had gone inside,
and he was outside.
730
00:40:43,175 --> 00:40:45,742
She started to think
that he was going to break in,
731
00:40:45,844 --> 00:40:48,111
and that's
when she decided that
732
00:40:48,213 --> 00:40:50,413
she was gonna protect herself
with a hammer.
