Jeanne Bishop on the apology she never thought she'd hear | Forensic Files

and you are 100% confident he is not playing you oh yeah I mean as a public defender you know I I deal I work with
prisoners every day so over the years you definitely get a good BS detector for that so as we sit here today prior
to uh a hearing being set for him do you think that he should be released there's
a whole lot that I need to hear before I will have a complete understanding of what it is that could have led him to
commit the crime he did and how things have changed if at all since then and I think if we're going to take a man's
life his whole life until he dies that we owe it to him and to society and to ourselves to devote the resources we
need to to answer that question there is nothing that he and people in his situation can do pretty much except what
he has done which is apologizing to me to my family for what he's done to try to live as quiet and law-abiding a life
as he can Behind Bars and to try to better himself
