This is, uh, Steve's admission
to what he had done.
Okay. Page seven.
What I had done was eating me up
inside. I had to talk to
someone, so I asked my brother, Brian,
to walk with me to the gym.
What I really wantedwas to be alone with
one person I knew I could trust.
As we walked to the gym, I confided in
him everything I had done
and swore him to secrecy.
That was the day I lost my little
brother. We have not seen or spoken
to each other in more than 30
years.
It's real hard to talk about. He wanted
me to respond to that,
and I'm not going to. I
refuse, absolutely
refuse to talk to
Steve. He doesn't care
about how I feel. It's all about him.
What about how he made me feel, how he
hurt me, how he he didn't put none of
that. He lied to me for 34
years, and he's just going to write a
little paragraph. Just a little paragraph
for 34 years of pain and
people calling me a liar.
The last thing that I'll ever do is talk
to him again.
Steve wanted me to keep his secret, but
I'll tell you what, I shouldn't have.
There's so much that I have to tell you.
I want to share this with everybody. I
want everybody that said that I was
lying and that I wasn't telling the truth
about my brother. Now it's
all out. It's hard to talk
about, but I'm glad I am.
There's so much. I have so much more.
There's just so much.
We're living at Reese Air Force Base in
Lubbock, TX. My
step-dad, he was in the military. My
mom, she has five kids, about
five different men. And Steve was
definitely her favorite out of all of us.
I was a year younger than Steve. When we
were kids, we slept in the same room,
went to the same school. We did
everything together. We were inseparable.
I looked at him like he was a role model.
I can't figure this out. Umm
Let me take a look. He was very
intelligent when he came to school. He
got really good grades and everything.
And when he helped me with my
homework, he made me feel real good. I
felt that, you know, he loved me.
I admire my brother, and I wanted to be a
lot like him. How's it going in here?
He's getting it. Great. I think so.
But he was born with a problem.
Oh, this one. He was definitely wired
different than everybody else.
I want the world to know that
Steve, the word I'm gonna
use is a psycho. I look back
on things, and there's so many things
that he did. There's just no way he could
love us and do what he's done.
I did not like to get in trouble at all.
I always did everything I could to stay
out of trouble. But he lived to create
trouble. I mean, this was a daily,
literally daily basis.
Me and Steve shared a room. I was in that
room at the time, playing with my toys.
And mom walks in with Steve, and
she's just yelling at the top of her
lungs at him. What is the
matter with you?So I stopped
playing. And I just sat there wondering
what, you know, what's going on. She was
yelling, I can't believe you did this.
You're in so much trouble. You just wait
till your dad gets home. What has gotten
into you?I was confused.
I didn't know what she was talking
about. Once daddy got home,
I heard my mom and dad both saying
something about a barbershop. Took a
rock, broke the window,
got in there,Broke the mirrors,
broke the glass, and just just tore the
place apart. My
dad was asking him questions about
what he had done. Steve didn't say one
single word. Is that true?
Hey, I'm talking to you.
Steve had no emotion. He just looked
straight ahead. He didn't look at them
when they were talking to him, they
repeatedly say, Look at me. And he he
didn't. You know he can press charges,
right?It's like he didn't care.
He looked like a shark. Like when a
shark, its eyes don't move. It's just
black and cold and calculating.
When they left, I asked him specifically
what happened, and he says, It's just
something to do. Are you mad at him or
something?Nah. Just
bored. For a kid to...
that age to break into a place and
just tear it up, has
issues.
Steve had no respect for authority
whatsoever. Steve was going to do what
Steve wanted to do. And no matter
what the repercussions of it would be,
punishment had no effect on
Steve.
I can remember one time we were at Reese
Air Force Base there in Lubbock, Texas.
They have this youth center that's on the
military bases for kids to go.
This was a Saturday night, and Steve
wanted to go to this little dance they
were having at the youth center. And Dad
said no, 'cause he had to get up and go
to work early the next morning.
But he wasn't gonna listen to nobody,
including my father.
And Steve gets up, gets stressed,
and tells me, Hey,
look out for me. I'm getting ready to go
to this dance. But
Dad said you can't. So?You're gonna
get called. He told me not to say
anything. I did ask him, I says, What if
Dad comes in here?Exact words.
And he says, Just don't tell himanything.
And he opened up the window, climbed up
the window, and went.
Dad happened to come back in our room to
check up on us. Steve was gone.
And Dad's like, Where's he at?
I didn't
say nothing to him. Dad knew.
And he said, let's go. I had my pajamas
on. We drove over there. Dad told me to
go in and get him. I was very humiliated
to walk in there in my pajamas and no
shoes on. I couldn't believe Dad made
me do that. So
we get home. I'm scared as hell because
Dad's really mad. It has the
belt. And starts
spanking Steve.
Steve. Nothing. No tears.
Nothing. Nothing whatsoever.
Just, he took it. And I used to
wonder how he could be so strong. Now
get in that bed!
Once it's all over with between him and
Dad, Dad tells him, Take your ass to
bed. And
he walks out and slams the door.
I just turn and I look at Steve. He's
just looking at-- just dead at
me. And I'm just, like,
looking away, and he's, like-- I turn
back and look, and he's just still
staring at me.
He did that literally for about 30
minutes. It scared the hell out of me.
His eyes didn't even blink. He was just
looking at me. I wanted to say I didn't
do it, but I knew better than to say
anything, 'cause it--He was
angry.
My parents didn't know what to do with
Steve. They tried medication, they tried
counseling, but things just kept getting
worse and worse.
These pictures bring back bad memories. I
had to be in the seventh or eighth grade,
and Steve was either in the eighth or
ninth grade. He was a hell of an
athlete at this age right here. Every
time he touched the ball, he'd score a
touchdown. This is where he really
started to shine and have his name in the
paper. And Mom, she was
very proud of him at this age. But at
this age is where he really changed.
He he became very abusive.
Didn't matter where we was at. Church,
school, gym,
anywhere where. There's something there.
He tried to steal it.
I was always there to look out for him,
even though I didn't want to. When I look
at the picture and I look at the eyes, I
can feel how I used to feel.
I can feel that right now. I
was so scared of him at this-- at this
age because
he'd intimidate me.
We moved to a Shepherd Air Force Base in
Wichita Falls, Texas. We'd be at school.
We'd have PE together, and he'd want to
go back into the locker room and check
people's clothes for money.
And he'd, you know, say, you know, Look
out for me. You just need to keep watch.
As I got older, it bothered me. I tried a
couple of times to tell him that I'm not
gonna look out for him. Come on, man. I
don't want to keep doing this. But let's
just put it this way. If I didn't do
something to help him, I'd have to I.P.
for it dearly. He's such a wimp.
I told him I'm not going to do it, and he
got very angry with me.
I turned around to walk out, and he just
hit me in the back.
It knocked the breath out of me. I fell
down on the ground and couldn't even
breathe for a minute. He hurt me.
That's when I realized I did not have a
choice. I'm gonna have to do what he
asks. Now, keep an eye on that
door. Every day, it was something with
Steve. Every single day, Steve was out of
control, and I was totally
powerless to stop him from doing
everything that he was doing.
Not everybody saw the Munster and Steve
like I did. I was there. I know
what he was capable of.
Everywhere that we ever lived, there's
always feral cats everywhere on on a
military base.
Steve would take
firecrackers, get some
string or twine or something, and
put it on the cat. And then he lighted it
on fire and bow.
Sometimes the cat would die, sometimes it
wouldn't.
All right, new football. Go, go, go. One
time, it was Christmas. We opened our
gift set about 5:00 a.m., and,
you know, we had a football.
We went outside, just me and Steve,
throwing the footballs to each other, and
the cat just walks up to be petted.
And he just picks it up and just
breaks its neck like it's nothing and
throws it down.
He totally caught me off guard with it. I
was thinking, My God, he just killed that
cat. And it was just a kitten.
SteveWhen he did it, he had no
conscience. That's the part I didn't
understand about him, no conscience.
When I looked at his eyes, there was--
there was emptiness. He didn't say
nothing to me about it.
He went through the day like as if
nothing had happened. Oh, man, Paul.
I did tell Mom, but I didn't say that
Steve picked it up and broke its neck. I
just said, there's a dead cat out there.
My parents were in there cooking
Christmas dinner, and I just--
everybody was happy. Everybody was
playing with their toys, and I just
didn't want-- it would have caused a
really big commotion.
That wasn't the only time that he killed
the cat. He'd take a BB gun,
put his foot on the cat to hold it down,
and put the BB gun to the cat's
head and pull the trigger. I'd be
like, Don't, Steve, don't. Don't.
He wouldn't say nothing. He'd just do it.
He wanted me to watch to show me that he
has no problem going to that next level.
It really bothered me. It got to me
really, really bad. All right.
I'll go inside. I was thinking,
if he has the nerve and the
guts to do something like that,
I just, you know, worried about
myself, and... my
siblings.
Steve enjoyed hurting people. Do you
mind if I tell you a story?No,
sir. There was one time we had just got
through with football practice, and this
kid was in his wheelchair,
and he wasGoing across the
basketball court.
Oh, this. And
there's this machine that shoots balls.
It can shoot them up to 70 miles per
hour. And Steve took these
tennis balls and stuck them in the
machine. I was thinking to myself, is
he really just going to shoot him with
that?And he did.
Steve shot one of them at it and hit him
in the chest, and he just flipped. out of
the wheelchair, and he kept shooting
them. And the guy was just banging,
Please stop, Steve, please. Come on, no
more. What is?And he just
kept, Pow, pow, pow. Hitting
him. He didn't care. He just was
doing it to make everybody laugh. He
was feeding off the laughter. Okay.
He had a real big smile on his face, and
he went over there and pulled up the
boy's shirt to see all the bruises.
He enjoys humiliating and hurting this--
the kid. Let's get out of here.
The school, the principals, and all of
them, they knew. They knew a lot about a
lot of the things that were happening
because the kids would go tell them.
But, uh, Steve was a really
good athlete, and he got away with
a lot of things because of that fact. You
all right, man?There's a big game coming
up. They needed him to be on the field.
He was the big man on campus, but he
didn't have no friends, per se.
People were afraid of him, and the older
he got, the worse he got.
Steve would target girls that were loners
that kept to themselves. He'd
doReally bad things to him. I mean, we're
talking 12-year-old girls.
We had an open campus during lunchtime,
and there's this girl that was in my
grade. She was a loner. She kept
to herself. We're sitting
there eating lunch, and
he noticed this
girl that was by herself. Hey,
stay here. Tell her if anybody's coming.
Where are you going?And that's when he
told me. He said, I'm gonna go get her.
I'm watching. I'm the lookout.
Steve walked up to her, grabbed her. He
takes her behind the curtain. I was very
naive at the time, and I didn't
understand what was going on. The
girl would come from behind the curtains
crying and take off running.
He did that with every girl that he ever
took back there. He forced himself on
them. I felt so sorry
for the girls. I wanted to reach out to
the girls and say something, but I
couldn't. I was afraid.
But if I would have said something,
maybe they would have punished him. I
just felt like if I would have said
something, things would have been a lot
different.
We moved to Aviano Air Force Base in
Italy. Each place that we lived at,
it didn't last one week when we were
there before he was in some kind of big
trouble. He grabbed the woman's breast
and the woman, of course, went to the
police. And bear in mind,
this was our first week in Italy.
When the police came to pick Steve
up, to take him in, I was in the room.
And I heard everything. They told my
parents what had happened.
They need to take him in and, I guess,
book him or whatever they're going to do.
And Steve was there, and he didn't say
nothing. He was just being his normal
self, just looking off into space.
I saw Steve get put in handcuffs. I saw
Steve get taken down to a police car.
But the trouble that he got into didn't
last long. It went away real
quick because of sports.
Football season was starting, and they'd
just sweep it under the rug.
When we were in Italy, that's when he
really started to lose his mind.
There was a girl that was in my class.
She was a very, very nice girl.
You're home. What
happened?It's fine. They dropped the
charges. The girl's mother got in
contact with my mother after we had left
Italy, and the mother
told my mom that her daughter
committed suicide because of what
Steve was doing to her. Oh, my God, I
was I was in shock, but he didn't care.
I couldn't believe it. I was like, God,
how much more can thiscan he do?
Once we left Aviano to come to Travis Air
Force Space here, that violence in him
came out. It was a Friday
night. We had a football game. We was
playing. Steve had a real good game.
Yo, man. can't believe how good you were
in that game. Steve comes
up to me, and he says, Look.
Check this out.
Look at that guy talking to my girl.
Steve had this little girlfriend that was
at the football game, and she was
standing up at this fence talking to this
dude. Steve put on his helmet,
strapped it up real tight, and said,
Watch this. took off running full speed
and just put his head down. The guy
didn't have no clue what was about to
happen to him. He turned around right at
the last second.
People started screaming. He really,
really hit that guy hard. Helmet
right into the guy's forehead. The
guy fell down and started rolling,
holding his head, and blood was just
Sheriff's deputies ran over there. One of
them grabbed Steve. Steve grabbed him,
threw him down. The other one grabbed him
and couldn't hold on to him. Steve got
back on top of that guy, and it took
about five or six of us to get Steve off
that guy. I've never
seen Steve ever, ever like that before.
He was so, so upset. He could have
really killed that guy. And all he was
doing was talking to his girlfriend.
Everybody saw it. Think he got in trouble?
Nope. He didn't.
The sheriffs didn't press charges or
nothing. The school didn't want to hold
Steve accountable for anything that he
did because he was a good football
player. I asked him, I said, are you
crazy?Man, why'd you throw that cop
down?He's like, he's
in my way. He's just,
no, no, expressing nothing.
That's when I knew that he has it in him
to really do some damage to somebody
and take their life.
I had a job. I had access to money.
Steve, he didn't. And the
only way he could get it was to steal it.
AndAs time went on, things, it just got
bigger and bigger and bigger, and the
stealing just got worse.
And one night, we walked up to the
school. He said, I got something special
to show you.
He pulls out this huge crowbar.
He took the crowbar and broke a
window out.
I was scared out of my mind. I thought
when he broke the window, I thought
somebody would definitely have heard
that. What are you doing?
He went in there, got the safe, this big
safe. He's struggling with it. So I
helped him get it out. And I'm
like, where'd you get this from?He said,
the principal's office. In a car.
Put it down. He tries to open it,
bust it open. It had over $2000 in it.
And he hands me about 100 bucks, and
he keeps-- he keeps all the rest. And
Steve started stealing bigger things,
like a motorcycle, money from
our neighbors. 90% of the
time, he never got caught because I
was looking out for him. The reason
that I went along with Steve is because I
was scared. I felt that I had to
do it or there'd be repercussions for it.
Obsession for money for Steve meant that
he'd get it any way he could.
I know he was really desperate, but I
didn't think he was desperate enough to
kill. When
Steve went off to college, I thought
for sure he'd stop. He's gonna
concentrate on sports and do well.
I just knew that he'd stop, and
he didn't.
Steve was actively being recruited by
bigger schools other than Chico State.
I don't understand why you even want to
go there. But he chose Chico
because Chico in Playboy Magazine was the
number one party school. Regardless, I
have to get an apartment.
And he was trying to tell my parents that
he didn't want to stay on campus, that he
wanted to stay off campus, and that he
needed X amount of dollars for this to
happen. Do what you want to do, but we're
not paying rent for you. And
they said no, you got a free
ride to school. Why don't you stay on the
campus so you don't have to pay?And
that's not something that he wanted to
do. That's where I came into the picture.
I had a job. I had a check, steady check
coming in. How about you?Want
to help me out?Sure. How much you need?
And I helped him. That's the worst thing
I could have ever done. I shouldn't have
done it. That's when
it all went to hell.
Okay, so, Steve came
home for New Year's. It was right around
that time of break. And, uh, me
and him went to a gym one night. You're
all right. You've been quiet all day. We
were walking home, he told me,
I have, uh, something to tell you.
It's something that I did, and you can't
tell nobody. Oh, it says Tweet us.
Got it?Yeah, of course, man.
And I'm like, okay. I'm thinking, you
know, he done broke into something. You
know, that's what I'm thinking. And he's
like, uh, I really messed up. And I was
like, what do you mean?It's like,
I, uh..
I took two people's lives.
I killed some people. I'm
thinking he's joking. I
asked him who were the people that he
murdered, and he said the people that
hired me to work at their house, the
motor lawn.
He got behind on payments,
on rent. He had a bunch of hot checks out
there. The school's, uh..
Employment department found him
a good job cutting grass. They lived in a
prominent neighborhood. That's why he
targeted them. Then he said,
I needed money. And the
only thing I could think of was to go rob
them.
He starts telling me in detail what he
did.
He told me, The lady answered the door.
He rushed in. Got her down on the ground
and she was screaming. Her husband heard
he was in a wheelchair. He comes in
there. Steve takes a fire
extinguisher, hits him upside the head a
bunch of times, put a
pillowcase over his head and tied him up.
He had Mrs. Campella
write a check. He said it took her like
three times to get it right because she
was so scared. Her hands were shaking.
He told me that he stabbed the
man first so many times. He
said the man wouldn't die. He just kept
making sounds. He
just wouldn't die.
His capella was in a different room.
He stabbed her so hard that he stood on
the knife. I was just listening.
He was just telling me everything.
I feel my heart rate
going up. My mind
is going real fast. I didn't know if he
was being serious or not. I
couldn't tell. And
he kept asking me, Do you think I'm gonna
get caught?Do you think the cops will
figure it out?He said, I tried to cover
all my tracks. In
order to try to throw the people off, he
wrote on the... mirrors. This is just the
beginning with her lipstick.
And he pushed the skirt up to make it
look like there was a
sexual assault or something like that.
I felt sick to my stomach. And there
was a long pause.
That's when he started saying, I'm just
joking. I'm just joking. None of that
really happened. Relax, man.
I'm just kidding. Real funny.
But he never joked like that with me.
Never. So I didn't-- I didn't know.
We kept walking, and he tried to
change the subject on something else. I
didn't know what to believe.
That night, I laid down to go to bed. I
was trying to convince myself he's just
joking.
I didn't know. I
didn't know. I didn't know whether to
believe him or not. I
just didn't know.
We woke up early
on that, uh, Saturday morning. My mom
came into our room with the newspaper,
and she says, Hey, Steve, some people got
killed up at your college. Did you hear
about this?Yeah. She started reading the
article. Everything that his
mom read in that paper
is what he told me. This is
right by you, isn't it?Yeah.
That's crazy. That's what I was like, Oh,
my God. Something did
happen. I turn and I look at him.
He makes eye contact with me. He shakes
his head no.
Him shaking his head no to me was to
let me know, don't say anything, please.
After she walks out, that's what I pulled
him off to the side. You got to tell him
what you told me. I begged him, You need
to tell mom and dad what's going on. He
said, No,
don't you say anything to them about it.
I still was in disbelief. Steve,
just keep your mouth shut. And I was
like, Did you really do this?
That's when he said no again. I didn't
have anything to do with it.
My heart, I just didn't want to believe
it. That's all. I I just couldn't.
He couldn't have done this. He couldn't
have. There's no way. He couldn't have
killed them people.
The church that we go to, they call our
sinners forward at the end of the service
for them to be prayed for. Me and
Steve used to laugh at people that used
to walk up there. I now ask that
those of us amongst us guilty of sin
come forward. But Steve
walked up there that that Sunday,
just crying.
He never cries. Steve
never cried. That's the very first time
I've ever seen him cry.
I'm sitting there in shock. I couldn't
believe it. I just couldn't believe it. I
could not believe it. It
all...
hit me right then. I was just like, Oh,
my God, Steve really did this.
I'm going to ask you to pray for these
sinners.
That's what I knew, without a doubt.
The next day, he went back to school.
Before he left, he gave me a hug, and he
made it seem like there was nothing to
worry about. After school, I
went to play video games at my sister's
boyfriend's. While I
was playing video games, I heard the
phone ring. And he picked
it up. Hello?And he's like, ho,
ho, ho. Just calm down, calm down. He's
like, your mom. Mom?
I get on the phone with Mom. She's in
panic. Like, get home. Get home now.
And I'm like, what's going on?And she's
like, just come. I need you here right
now. She says, please.
I just put the phone down, and I ran.
It was about a good mile to the house,
and I ran that mile so fast. I
had no clue what was going on.
Once I get around this big curve, I see
all these cop cars at my house.
And then I see my mom.
She's on the ground.
I wanted to go down and help my mom.
I grabbed her by her hand, and I says,
Mom, are you okay?And she she couldn't
talk. She just shook her head.
She's having a heart attack. They take
her. Get her in an ambulance. A
cop pulls me to the side. He told me that
my brother's in jail for murder.
The next day, the
paper gets delivered.
And it's got a picture of him in
handcuffs with a big-ass smile on his
face.
Knowing that Steve was guilty...
just hurt my heart. Just, it hurt so
bad.
I hate this picture.
This picture brought so much pain and
hurt. It makes me so, so
mad. I can't believe that he's smiling
after what he's done. This is how he used
to look when he did had a good play on
the football field. He's a very
evil man, and this picture shows
how evil he really is. He killed two
people, and he's walking out with a
big-ass smile on his face as if though
he's done nothing.
When I first walked up to the jail, his
facial expressionwas like nothing that
I've really never seen before. He looked
scared.
I pick up the phone, and before he
gets on the phone to talk to me, he looks
at me and he just shakes his head, No,
like that. He didn't want me to say
nothing. He wanted me to be quiet about
everything that he had told me. He was
telling people that he was innocent. We
started talking about regular things. He
was asking me about school. I didn't know
what to say. I just kept looking at him,
and he just kept shaking his head. No.
Don't. No.
My guy. It's a hard picture to look
at. She's a very pretty lady. And she
lost her life to my brother.
He's a very distinguished-looking man. He
was a doctor. He delivered so many
babies, helped so many people. They
looked so happy together. Oh,
my God. Steve is a--
he's-- he's a piece of
shit. How could he do this to these
people?Over $3,000, he didn't
have to kill these people for that.
I can't help but feel guilt for what my
brother did to these people. I'm so
sorry, so, so sorry for what my brother
has done to to you and your family.
I'm so sorry.
When I found out, in my mind, I'mthinking,
man, what a relief.
That's what I was saying to myself.
I think he would have been a serial
killer, to be quite honest with you. If
he could do that, what's to say that he
wouldn't just... kill
anybody else?
He deserved to be put to death for
killing them people.
He pleads guilty and
sends the victims a letter saying
everything that he did. I kept reading,
kept reading, and I'm like,
Wow, he said it. He
said that he'd done it.
And when I read all that, I got so
emotional. I I got up and just
started walking and, you know, just
thinking to myself, he he told the truth,
he finally told the truth. I can't
believe it. 34 years
it took him to tell the truth, but the
only reason Steve told the truth was to
save his butt from the death penalty.
To the Kiapella family,
I can't imagine the enormous amount of
pain I have caused your family.
I violently murdered your parents for no
reason other than me trying
Not to be caught because of your mother
and father would recognize me.
I hate reading this.
There's no sincerity in this at all.
None. This This whole thing
that I have right here in my hand, it's a
bunch of bull. He deserves
to lose his life for what he did. It was
a horrible, horrible crime that he
committed to me. That whole
confession was to save his own butt.
To that end, it did work. It saved his
life.
When everything went down with my
brother, nobody wanted to
have anything to do with me. I'm a senior
in high school. I was being recruited by
Division II schools to play
football, and all that went away.
I didn't know what to do. I
was lost. I was so lost.
I was not wired to be a bad person. Me
and Steve were nothing alike. When I
started stealing and acting out, I
was trying to prove something to myself,
just to prove that I'm better than he
is. One day, I
took the crowbar and opened up
the Coke machine. And I took the money
out of there, and I got caught.
My choice was to go to jail or go in the
military. Next thing I know, I'm going to
the Navy boot camp. That was one of the
best things that ever happened to me
because I learned my lesson. I went in
the military. I got a good education. I
made a good life for myself. But
he ruined our family. I have no family
no more. That That was taken away from
me a long time ago.
I don't have a relationship with nobody
in my family, and I think a lot of it has
to do with what I've told them about
Steve. After After I read it in the
paper, I called them to see what they had
to say about it. And
when I got my mom on the phone, I was
like, see, I told you. I told you all
these years that he did it and
you didn't believe me. She
says, I don't even know you, Click.
It's like that. She's totally cast me
out. I thought that we could have had a
nice talk about it. Like, you know, you
were right. He did do it. He
admitted it. You know, I'm sorry. No.
Nope. Sure didn't.
It hurt me. I just couldn't-- I I
couldn't believe that she said that to me
and then hangs up on me.
And, you know, I try to call her back and
she doesn't answer. I've tried to call
her a couple of different times and she
won't answer. I like to tell her
that I love her. I miss being,
things wouldn't being the same that they
used to be. I wish that
she could
just let some things go and we
can move past some things and have a
relationship.
Her getting to know her grandkids, her
great grandkids.
But it'll never be the same. Never.
There's just no way.
I can't forgive my brother. There's just
no way. But I want to see Steve one
last time. There's just something that I
want to tell him and tell him that I'm
not scared of him anymore.
And I have something that he doesn't,
he'll never have. I have kids, I have
grandkids, I have a beautiful family,
and there's something nobody can take
away from me. It's something that he'll
never have, and I want to let him know
I won. I won for once.
