prison I'm out here which shocked me it really did Peter it shocked me that he said can you help me out with my
struggle this situation and I asked what struggle in particular and he's struggling with trying to understand why
God did this to him God did this to him that's what he thinks was confounding in
my head I'm thinking you're Desiring for me to help you understand why God did this to you and you're not asking at all
why you did this to yans no why you did this to the family how you've affected the community how you've affected me so
I was like you've got to be kidding me has D Bowman in any way confided in you that he committed an act of murder no
not even an ounce of it did he Express any remorse for the death of yansy no he didn't and maybe the remorse will come
maybe it's somewhere in there how many phone calls have you received from Den several um I can count six to 10 I've
only had the hearts and this is for a reason um of picking up that first one so you've had one real conversation one
real convers other times he's called you have not accepted accepted the call I just can't at this time I can't help him
in this way because I am ill prepared to give him any sort of counsel you need for him to reflect on this don't you I
do and you need for him at some point to take personal responsibility at some point at some point do you believe that
Den isn't capable of accepting responsibility ultimately I don't think so
