00:00Oh, have mercy.
00:07Ooh, wee, Lord.
00:09The deadly Thanksgiving fire is classified as a homicide.
00:13The lighter fluid was placed into his mouth, and he burned to death.
00:18I've never witnessed something so horrific before.
00:22I ain't got time for these lies, okay?
00:24You think I'm posting damn gas on this mic?
00:26Do you want to rule out everything before you charge a personal?
00:30You need to start getting your story straight, and you need to be straight right now.
00:33You're just trying to get me out of here so you can move that bitch in here.
00:35If you could have trouble with half the murder, they would have killed you.
00:38She is evil, hateful, and lowdown, all of the above.
00:48Every suspect accused of a crime has the right to remain silent.
00:52Many agree to be interrogated anyway, but they can stop the interview at any moment,
00:57making it a race against time.
01:02Justice hangs in the balance.
01:04Oh, I have mercy.
01:17Ooh, wee, Lord.
01:18It was Thanksgiving Day.
01:22I remember vocaling in my son in his car seat, and next thing we know, that house right across
01:28the street from us is smoking a whole lot.
01:31So I immediately called 911.
01:35Is it for Riley House?
01:36Yeah.
01:36We arrived at the fire scene within minutes of 911 call.
01:43I witnessed two windows that had been breached, smoke coming out of them, smoke coming from
01:48the roof.
01:49The fire has got some air.
01:51It's really burning, and we got our work cut out for us.
01:53My family, they come outside, and I remember hearing that somebody was indeed in the house.
02:01So at this point, a harsh drive.
02:04The most important thing is to get the victims out.
02:07We looked for a point of entry into the house, which on this house was going to obviously be
02:11the front door.
02:12They went in searching for the victim, trying to search thoroughly each room and bedroom for
02:16occupants.
02:17They searched the house until they made it to a bedroom.
02:22They found the victim in the bed.
02:24He was in the room where the fire was breaching out of the windows.
02:26He was within 10 feet of those windows.
02:29The bed was heavily consumed with fire.
02:33It was clear that he had passed away.
02:34Me being from West Point, I just knew William Brownlee to be a respectful person.
02:48He was a church-going guy.
02:49He was 62 years of age.
02:51He had multiple sclerosis.
02:54William Brownlee Sr., he lived there with his daughter-in-law, Latoya, and his son, William
02:59Brownlee Jr.
03:00William Brownlee Sr. was bedridden, and they both were taking care of him because of some
03:06health issues he had going on at the time.
03:09I just hated that fact that, hey, there was somebody that was in the house.
03:14That was a very difficult moment, and it was horrific.
03:17I had never smelled someone burning.
03:27It is an indescribable smell, like you just couldn't even imagine.
03:32He was bedridden.
03:33He didn't even have a chance to get up or try to escape the room.
03:37He was just there to suffer.
03:40My gut was telling me something's really, really strange here.
03:43The fire was almost completely in William Sr.'s bedroom.
03:47The rest of the house was just heavily smoke-damaged.
03:51From the bed to where Mr. Brownlee laid and the wall right above his head, all of it was
03:58heavily burned, way worse from how it was on the other side of the room.
04:03And then I saw where the outlet, it was very heavily burned.
04:09That seems very suspicious because it was a very new house.
04:13It was built two years before or prior.
04:16They're built with modern wiring.
04:18And to really cause the damage that it did, electrical fires just alone would not make
04:24this fire angry like it did.
04:27You definitely want to get down to the bottom of what went wrong for this fire to become
04:32fully engulfed in this one particular room.
04:34I remember going to the back porch of the home.
04:38There where I found a lot of fluid bottle.
04:42And I took it into evidence.
04:44I believe the fire chief, he was pretty much confident that something went wrong in that
04:49room.
04:49He believed something was started for that fire to get so hot in certain areas that he wanted
04:54to go ahead and call the state fire marshal.
05:02LaToya, she showed up in her vehicle.
05:05She gets out of her car.
05:06She's crying.
05:08She's hysterical.
05:09What we learned from the initial contact with Ms. LaToya Brownlee was she had been visiting
05:14family for Thanksgiving before this incident took place.
05:18Then she left and was shopping with her auntie, Ms. Virgie Gardner.
05:21And that's when she got the call that the house was on fire.
05:26So she came back to the home.
05:32With it being Thanksgiving Day, you would think that everybody would have been together.
05:38And that left me wondering in my mind, okay, something else is going on here.
05:44It was almost like you just knew like something just wasn't right.
05:51Biggest question was if this fire was actually intentionally set.
06:09And the next question was if it was, why?
06:13He gave me a rundown yesterday and what all took place.
06:16All my brothers met at my house and after that, we was going to my mom's house in Pontotoc
06:23in order to have Thanksgiving dinner.
06:26So my wife left home first before I did.
06:28She went to dinner in Yuna over her family's house.
06:32So I got a call about 426 is when I actually got the call that my house was fully engulfed
06:40in flames.
06:40Who gave you the call?
06:42Tony Harris.
06:42He asked me where I was and told me I need to get to my house as soon as possible.
06:47And my house was on fire.
06:49But did your wife ever call you at any time?
06:51No.
06:52Can you state your wife's name for the record?
06:54Latouria Janae Brownway.
06:56How long y'all been married?
06:5818 years.
06:59Actually, y'all was filing for divorce next week.
07:03Did she know about this?
07:04Yes.
07:05I had an eviction notice for her.
07:07Right.
07:07Still in the same room.
07:08Right.
07:08I moved on with my life and started, you know, seeing someone else.
07:11And she is pregnant.
07:13I said, now, by the time the child is born, yes, my child will be living on the same roof
07:16as me.
07:17The fact that now she was being evicted from the house by him and there would be an eviction
07:22hearing to have her removed from the house, very important piece in this investigation.
07:27I learned before living with Mr. Brownlee Senior, Junior Brownlee, his wife, Latouria, they stayed
07:54in an old trailer, Junior Brownlee, claimed she tried to burn an outlet to start a fire.
08:00He said she used a plant to put it by an electrical outlet and light it up.
08:06But she said that she didn't.
08:07I didn't actually call the police.
08:09But I would go in my grave believing that she done nothing.
08:14Mm-hmm.
08:16Her and your dad get along pretty well?
08:18I mean, yes.
08:19Yeah, she used to.
08:20But, I mean, since we've been going through our problems, she'll do anything to hurt me.
08:25Mm-hmm.
08:25So by hurting him, she knows it hurts me.
08:28If she got that angry before to try to start a house fire, she could have possibly got angry
08:33again to do the same.
08:34Your dad was owner of that house?
08:37Yes, my dad was owner.
08:38Your dad was?
08:39My dad was owner.
08:41Nine to my ten, if something was to happen to your dad, you was going to get the house?
08:45I was going to get the house.
08:46We are going to go over here to the house.
08:49Fire Marshal's going to be able to tell us where the fire started at.
08:54You'll know that today.
08:55Hopefully.
08:55Should, hopefully.
08:56The deputy fire marshal's ruled out that it was any kind of electrical problems with
09:07the home.
09:08He basically told me that the fire was started by somewhere.
09:13After going through the scene and examining like he did, he was also adamant that that
09:18fire started in that room.
09:21Now we have an intentional fire, and this is a murder investigation.
09:24So now we have a suspect that we need to find.
09:29We began to look into the insurance claim.
09:32It went even over the $20,000 policy.
09:35I didn't see enough there for that to be a motive coming from William Brown Lee Jr.
09:42But on Latoya's hand, I looked at the fact of, you got this divorce situation.
09:49Pretty sure she was very upset.
09:51At that moment, she most definitely was a suspect for me.
09:56I have Ms. Bargey.
10:11Garner?
10:11Garner, yes.
10:13You may run out how you and your niece came and contacted yesterday.
10:15We had Thanksgiving dinner, and after the dinner, we left coming to West Point to go to Wal-Warn.
10:26Right.
10:26But when we got in West Point, she said, take me by the house to drop off this food.
10:34We went to buy the house.
10:36This should have been like, what, around four?
10:41And she got out, went in, and she came back out less than five minutes, and we went to Wal-Mart.
10:50As soon as we got to Wal-Mart, she got a call saying, smoke coming out of your house.
10:57And I'm all upset now.
11:00I said, well, is your father-in-law in the house?
11:03She said, yes.
11:04So I really got nervous then.
11:06And then I could see smoke from Wal-Mart parking lot in the air.
11:09Right.
11:09We just left the house.
11:12The store that she went to was not even a mile, if that, from the actual home.
11:18She left at 405, a cell phone video that shows the fire fully engulfed at 409.
11:23That definitely raises suspicion about what took place at that house.
11:28A house fire does not go from zero to that in that time frame, naturally.
11:33A gas leak would have more of an explosion-type situation.
11:36There's not a real natural cause that's going to allow it to burn that fast, that quick.
11:43Basically what you're telling me, y'all left from the residence around 405.
11:49Now, a person called 911 at 14 saying the house was in flames.
11:53And I got a video showing her the house in flames at that time.
11:56That room was burning before she left.
11:58Really?
12:01She had to sit down.
12:02They're going through this divorce.
12:06And I told her just last week, I said, Tora, I said, don't do nothing stupid.
12:11She said, yeah, because I was gone.
12:13I thought about going there and putting a knife in her.
12:16So, if I was asked, do I think she capable of doing this?
12:23I would say, yes.
12:25She is evil, hateful, and no doubt.
12:29All of them are good.
12:30The Brownlee family, they live directly across the street from my family.
12:45I've never witnessed something so horrific before.
12:49This is a small community, and the love of each other and the respect of each other pull us together.
12:59You hate to see a community hurt.
13:01You hate to see the families hurt.
13:03My heart just hit me because I just hated that fact that, hey, there was somebody that was in the house.
13:09Oh, I have mercy.
13:12So, after she went to the house and came back out to go to Walmart, what did she say?
13:34She was talking about him, and when you see him, you just go ahead and tell him he's wrong for what he's doing.
13:40I said, you just do what's right.
13:44If an uncle or auntie say something about their niece and nephew, you can take it to the bank and cash it.
13:51The missing situations can cause people to do some crazy things because, you know, hurt people hurt people.
13:58At that point, I was pretty much sold on it being hurt.
14:02But I still had to prove it.
14:04I had to get more than just word of mouth.
14:13So, I received a video that was on Facebook Live at the time that the fire started.
14:19And this was at, like, 4.09.
14:22The 9-1-1 call came in around 4.10, 4.11.
14:28At 4.11, Latoya makes a post on Facebook about the Black Friday sale.
14:32You look at the time span, and it was very odd to me.
14:36I think she made that post to try to create an alibi or try to, you know, just say, hey, I didn't set a house on fire.
14:43I don't know if she didn't set a house on fire.
14:47All right, you do understand you're still up on a Miranda, so you're scared we're gonna
15:12speak yeah everything's pointing to her you know this house was set on fire the situation going on
15:23between her her husband she's the only one that went in the house now is the time we got to get
15:31her to break and tell us the truth as of right now what just just tell me your thoughts just let
15:36me know what's going on i hate it happened and um i love my father-in-law i hate it happened and i just
15:42want to know what what this stem from what started this fire all right you left you on the thursday
15:50around what time again say around 3 20 3 30. you left around 3 20 3 30. what time you make it to town
15:59all right when you get to town would you before you left you know would you head at home or would
16:10you head to the walmart head to walmart all right what made you go by the house they take my plate
16:16and i had to use the bathroom and then i got in the house took my plate to the kitchen went to the
16:21bedroom and see him he was in the bedroom yeah i was headed out and then he asked for a piece of candy
16:27and i gave it to him and um he said i smell some smoke i said i smell some too and i looked in the
16:33utility room and i ain't seen nothing burning or no smoke and i went to the kitchen make sure that
16:37went on the eye and i didn't see anything and i came again i said i don't know what it is and that was it
16:45you actually smell smoke in the home and you still left common sense would have been like i need to call
16:52somebody i need to get somebody over here and see what's going on it didn't sit well with me
16:59doing that interview with her how long was you at walmart we was there in no time um we pulled up in
17:08the parking lot and we was in the park and we pulled back out mm-hmm what was the reason for that
17:15somebody called did they call on facebook on the phone facebook it should still be on facebook
17:21i think you got time to take a look and see
17:29she called you at 4 11. okay yeah i stayed on the phone about a minute and three seconds right
17:41was you on facebook around that time was i don't think
17:44i was at walmart so i'm not you are aware that there's a facebook post on your page that was
17:52made at 4 11 that you was in walmart parking lot okay yeah i guess you don't remember that
18:03i can't remember the post but
18:07you don't remember making that post i don't remember
18:10you can remember what you did inside the house for over five minutes but all of a sudden now you
18:18don't remember i think she kind of felt like we was closing in on her i had to go in a little harder
18:27from what i'm looking at and from what the five marks reported saying either you wasn't at home at
18:33four o'clock or you was there when the fire started well i wasn't there when no fire started because
18:39i don't think did you go in the room i went in his bedroom all right did you go in the bedroom when
18:43you first got to the house or was it right before the kitchen then i went to his bedroom then we
18:48talked and he wanted you had to use the bathroom yet like you said no i hadn't used the bathroom
18:53but you told me you went to the bathroom that's the reason why i said you went to the bathroom you
18:58never said you didn't use the bathroom i didn't use it i didn't use it
19:01so you lied to me like you used the bathroom well i i went to the bathroom and i didn't have to go
19:08so i didn't go but i did but i did listen you need to start getting your story straight
19:13and you need to be straight right now okay because i ain't got time for these lies okay
19:26i went to the bathroom i didn't go
19:28and i left out there i went back to his room how about how long was you in the house about five
19:36minutes i did not see no no fire no smoke no nothing so i'm not you're not gonna make me say
19:43that i did not see that but i smelled it i smelled it in the utility right in the area
19:48on the utility room with the bedroom okay we get that we get that we get that the thing of it is
19:56you still left i did i did even though you smell smoke or whatever i thought i wasn't nothing because
20:03i ain't seen nothing i did i left
20:08she continued to stick with her story over and over again i'm still seeing the crime scene i'm still seeing
20:14the remains of mr brownlee i'm still seeing how hot this room got i want confessions you still want
20:21to see if you can get her to go ahead and break now i went to the kitchen make sure that went on
20:26so you got a lot of line going on you better start being straight
20:34you pretty you put an expert in them out there since no i'm not
20:39you don't fool around one boy no i did not you have i haven't never never spoke with your hood
20:47you told me three years ago back in the trailer when y'all got into it you went and tamper with it
20:56just started following the service it was right i didn't mess with the adamant with the outlet itself
21:00per se and was a it was a plant right by the outlet and i put the plant on fire that's what i
21:06tamper with the plant right there by the outlet that would make the thing right there but i didn't
21:11i'd be a fool going to mention this out and get shot it's crazy like that's how you said the plant on fire
21:21it was a mattress a plant a real live plant no it was a it was an artificial plant
21:28and you said the fire with a mattress we all had learned that latori brownlee tried to set a previous
21:35house on fire because she got mad at junior and now you know the possibility of her
21:41doing this again after getting angry with her husband could be the very thing that started this
21:46fire i did not mess with stuff so i'm not messing with the plant i did not mess with no outlet at
21:52this new house i did not do nothing and you ain't gonna make me say i did something i did not do
21:57nothing you did if i did with the outlet in the trailer though is that what you're telling me i started
22:01right there by the outlet the outlet probably caught on fire but i i'm not gonna put no no fire to this
22:06out like this at that point i was just like all right we're done she didn't admit yes i set the
22:14house fire but she attached herself to the timeline that we had so after that interview i could have
22:24arrested her but i didn't want to do it just yet because i knew i needed more evidence for it to stick
22:32it was just like a lemon we was just trying to get all the juice as we you know we could get out of
22:37that limit and so that's why we opted to continue this investigation when you the fire was intentionally
22:50set so you start looking for accelerants that may have been poured there what he saw was something was
22:58poured on the glove seat the flooring and the bed he had a hydrocarbon detector the hydrocarbon
23:06detector is going to pick up a petroleum product of some type that detected some type of petroleum
23:12product was poured it could have been lighter fluid it could have been gasoline he added an
23:17interesting fact that there was also an accelerant on a outlet across the room from the bed there was no
23:25accident at the electrical outlet there was no faulty electrical outlet there was an accelerant
23:32somebody poured liquid on the outlet trying to make it look like the outlet had started the fire
23:37but it doesn't go from her being in the house at 407 closing door walking out to what you had two
23:43minutes later from a naturally occurring electrical fire in a wall it doesn't happen another specific
23:49detail that he gave us that was important that there was charring on the inside of the door of the room
23:54but there were none on the outside we determined that the door had been closed during the fire
24:00and at some point in time it was opened by my guys when they were fighting the fire
24:10when i looked over the log we found out there was entry at 4 0 2 p.m of that day
24:16and then there was an exit at 4 0 7 p.m
24:21latoya had already told us she went in the house alone within that time span you got a facebook video
24:29at 4 9 of the fire already coming out of the home it was on a two minute window there no one else could
24:38have went in this house but miss brownlee to start this fire everything's pointing to her
24:59even though we had all the evidence that we had i still wanted to talk to her because i still wanted
25:03that confession from her as to why she done what she did this is a murder investigation somebody lost
25:11their life so as much as we possibly can get from her if she was willing to talk is what we were going
25:18to continue to get if i might show mike ivy and detective johnson were interviewing her of course mike he
25:30would take the lead this is a tragedy and it's up to us to figure out what happened and when the
25:44investigators looked at the scene yesterday they determined that somebody purposely set the fire
25:53so where we're at right now is to try to figure out what happened
25:56where in the bedroom where he was the problem we've got is somebody set the fire
26:10and we can't find anybody that was in that house other than you
26:26i didn't sit no fire i wouldn't harm that man i see him just like my dad and i wouldn't harm him at all
26:39yeah i ain't see no smoke and no fire in this room at all okay did you keep any flammable liquids in the
26:47house like paint thinner gasoline light fluid and gasoline out there but i this this stuff he can keep up
26:54in the house like it had you used any other bloodline no no well i don't know exactly what to tell you
27:06but this is not going to go away i don't want to go away i want to find out what happened because
27:14a innocent man lost his life that fire did not start because of me after i saw that she went budging
27:22i moved closer because i wanted to establish a report with her and i wanted to see her face
27:30why not just go ahead and lay it all out here it was worth a shot are you aware the agency logged down the
27:38time that whenever somebody come in whenever they leave out they would are you aware that they
27:45logged down whenever the door was open yeah are you aware that nobody else entered the house in between
27:5212 30 and four o'clock and i wasn't aware of it and you're you're correct you got home around four
28:01you went in and matter of fact four two got the door closed behind you i guess they do it within like a
28:06many time frame the door closed behind you four three the door opens at four oh six they got you
28:14leaving out at four seven okay you leave the house at four seven we got a video recorded at 409 410
28:25with the house laid still i'm talking about playing i already pushed through the window
28:31where the old man was playing it was two windows right there when your phone call that you got on
28:36facebook that was at 4 11. you showed it to me yesterday okay from 407
28:44to 4 11. ain't no way a fire is going to build up that much pressure and wait four minutes to blow one
28:53out and then fire it soon through the roof i'm getting fed up about it because it seems like y'all
28:59harassing me but you're not answering my question can you see if i started that fast from 407 to 4 11.
29:06i don't know how fast they started whatever i don't know i can't answer this i don't know how fast
29:12i started old up but i know i did not start no fire i did not kill no innocent person a handicapped
29:18person i did not do that and i will say that to the end i did not do that well and i'm gonna be honest
29:26with you we think you did when i took him when i gave him that candy i was in the room with him
29:35i didn't see no smoke i didn't see no sound no smoke but i slept smoke i said well we'll get johnny to
29:40check it when he get here he said okay all right and you closed the door and walked out no no i'm close
29:47the door i don't close the door you don't close the door no all right now we got another problem
29:54what because i know he didn't get out to bed and going close the door that door was not closed
30:02if i was the last one there i know i did not close that door and i know that he didn't have to be
30:07walking right so so you ought to feel like me there's a problem somewhere where someone closed that door
30:13and that ought to be something you're concerned about who closed the door you should also be concerned about
30:20who was in the house to set this fire and for it to go that fast it had to be some kind of
30:25accelerant or something poor to make it just blaze that face i've been doing this a long time he's been
30:33around this a long time this this doesn't happen in two minutes i just know i didn't do it what what i'm
30:41saying is forget about the fire being saved right there was a fire in that room at that time and
30:49you're putting yourself in the room you're saying i gave him the candy i stood by the bed
30:54i didn't want no fire in the room there was i didn't see no fire there was there was i didn't see
31:00now there's no way you could i didn't see a fire in the room and there ain't no way i leave a person
31:05right there handicapped person see a fire and can't get out i mean that was her story i felt like she was
31:12gonna stick to it so i got to dealing with just her personal life as far as her and her husband i
31:20figured if i could play on that side of her emotions that she would maybe get upset and actually like
31:28tell me what it was as to the reason why she did it well listen to me i understand what you're going
31:37through i understand your husband made you mad past month or so i understand a lot going on
31:47it's a lot you're dealing with it it's a lot on you got nothing to do with the situation at hand
31:51you know this divorce was coming up you do all of this i understand that me and his situation
31:56ain't got nothing to do with this situation at hand i wanted to know innocent life listen
32:01all my situation i understand that you want to hurt him i want to hurt him not hurt his dad i understand
32:13that you already said you wanted to hurt him before i understand all of that but why just tell me
32:20why i know they want to arrest me tell me why you get a little trailer and he made you so mad that you
32:25wanted to burn the trailer down there why why did you do it just tell me why that's all i want to know
32:43i know what i did and i know i didn't i didn't harm no innocent man crippled man they can't do nothing
33:12for themselves i will never do nothing like this young or old well the only thing i can say is what
33:21you're saying this is your last opportunity if you want to make this right and talk about i mean
33:29there was a fire forget about being i didn't see no fire no there was one's practice right here because
33:38i did not get it let me and him go ahead and speak for a second we're gonna let you go we wanted to
33:44arrest her but that would become risky because then she would probably lower you up we were still waiting
33:50on the autopsy and a lab report we wanted to make sure that when it was time to make that arrest we had
33:56everything set in stone to move forward
34:15all right
34:18at the end of that interview she looked back at us and it was like dang y'all still ain't gonna risk
34:24and just walked on out like it was nothing i felt like it was just a waiting game like i knew next time
34:32i see you i'm gonna have your handcuffs
34:50it was lighter fluid that was used on the bed the love seat into the wall outlet in the house we also get
34:57the preliminary autopsy report from the medicare examiner's office mr brownlee died of thermal
35:03injuries meaning he burned to death the manner of death was a homicide accelerant was poured all over
35:12his body as well as in his mouth and i thought back to my conversation with latoya about how i gave him a piece of candy
35:23i'm getting asked for a piece of candy and i gave it to him there's something about this piece of candy
35:27that she claims she gave him that's not registering and that left me wondering in my mind okay something
35:34else is going on here could it be a lot of fluid that she had put in his mouth and um he said i smell
35:40some smoke i said i smell something too it's one thing to burn but to burn from your mouth
35:47and your body like that was just what i would say just low down exactly what the words that her aunt
35:55said about her in that interview so she is evil hateful and low down all of the above she was just a
36:03low down individual that'll do anything she had to do to get back at her husband
36:08she didn't put up a fight didn't argue didn't fuss she just put the handcuffs on and got in the car
36:22capital murder is a very serious charge in the state of mississippi capital murder means that
36:27you know you can be sentenced to death and she was facing that she was facing those consequences for her
36:35actions we was working hand in hand with the district attorney's office this case was potentially
36:46going to trial but i still wanted her to go ahead and give the confession the family deserved it you
36:53know the family deserved the truth about what happened to their father
37:13so we do got the camera on okay your name is latori brown yes it is all right you understand the charge
37:20that you have right now what you're charged with right now capital capital murder
37:26i know i'm not your lawyer i told you if there's anything that might help you it's better for you
37:34to say it now than wait on to go to court but if you get charged with capital murder and that's the
37:40only statute in the state of mississippi where they will kill you it might be five years after you go to
37:45jail it might be ten but they will kill you
37:59can i tell you what did i have to gain by killing him that's what i want to know
38:07i don't know what you tell me that's the reason why my parents got a lawyer you want to know something
38:14about this about the lawyer they ain't give me just one they got me five paid lawyers you feel me put
38:22that on your recorder you can go and get ten different lawyers okay but it don't change facts of a case and i'm
38:32telling you toward it i'm telling you it ain't looking good on your end and i would tell you
38:38something else regarding that situation but i'm gonna let it all be a surprise when that when i go to
38:44court oh yeah the world don't know and i'm telling you you don't want to wait on court to decide to
38:54why because at that point it's gonna be pretty much too late no i'm not i'm telling you what you think
38:59can happen i'm just telling you toys this you got a long road to travel you feel better getting it
39:05off your chest you really really really really want to get this off your chest okay first of all first
39:14and foremost when i first entered that house i didn't smell no smoke that's the first thing i didn't smell
39:20no smoke until he told me to go and get his towel which was by the chair by the window that's when i
39:25noticed some smoke and then i went and checked the stove i came back it wasn't no smoke back there
39:30it was over by his window so whatever it started it was on the outside of that house it wasn't
39:35nothing in the house burning you never told us about a fire or smoke outside of the window but here
39:42we are now why are you just not telling me about this window i said that before well i thought i did
39:52if i knew who did this i would say who did it i'm not gonna go down for somebody you know what i'm
39:58saying i don't have no idea i wouldn't check the kitchen my bedroom kids bedroom in the bathroom
40:05nothing you think i put some damn gas on this man i'll be a crazy damn fool to do some stuff like that
40:10and furthermore this man ain't never did nothing to me for me to take his life
40:18toy i wish you the best outcome
40:25life itself is too short you might not tell me today you might not tell me i'm gonna come
40:34out of your court day and i might be old and great by the time you decide to tell what really happened
40:39anything but like i told you was he got one lord or five lord he don't change facts of a case okay
40:48like i said i didn't commit this crime so i already know i'm not gonna go down for something i didn't
40:54do one thing about it god didn't already show me i'm lying over god he didn't already show me i'm gonna
41:00walk i'm gonna walk i'm gonna walk when i get through please my case i'm gonna walk bleed it
41:06and you said you're christian so i believe i can go
41:10god always
41:12but you can keep living in the night that's between right but you and god
41:19but i can tell you on that day you go to court i hope god is with you that day
41:25because it's not gonna work out what you think it's gonna work out
41:31we gave her so many chances to go ahead and present the facts but then she went back to the
41:36snoring and so after the final interview with her and we were prepared to go to court
41:42with her and the five lawyers that she had
42:03i remember when the judge he asked her why are you pleading guilty and she finally said
42:09because i did it it wasn't a confession we dreamed of but we got a confession
42:15and took going in front of the judge for her to finally admit what she had did and
42:22that was the confession that we were wanting
42:24i feel like her motive was to get back at her husband and she done that by taking his dad from him
42:42it was such a hard situation that affected so many different people so many different lives were
42:48changed behind this he was a great guy he was a church going man and a great family man so
42:57that's how the city of west point you can remember mr william brownlee senior
