Sneak peek: Playing by the Rules? | Forensic Files

We the jury find the defendant David Mark Temple guilty of murder as charged in the
indictment. David Temple was convicted after a six-week trial by a fair and impartial jury for executing his wife
and unborn child. He was given a life sentence. He's sitting behind bars and that's where he deserves to be. My name
is Kelly Sigler. I was a Harris County prosecutor for 21 years. You have the right to expect us to tell you the
truth. The last murder case I handled here in Harris County was the David Temple case. David Temple was in Katy
High School a big man on campus because he was a big football star out there. Belinda Temple, the kind of girl that
nobody could say anything ugly or bad about. They had a son named Evan and the facts of the case were just so different
and horrible. We've been covering the case of David Temple for eight years, and he has always maintained his
innocence. Now, dramatic new developments may give him a shot at freedom. I've known it from day one that
this day would come, and um we're getting close to the end. I know this has been a 16-year journey for
David and our family. And we are here today to say again, David is innocent. I do not believe David Temple got a fair
trial. No person with eyes and ears and half a brain can say David Temple got a fair trial. Mr. Darren made the argument
that there were more than one burglar. Dick Darren was the trial lawyer for David Temple. Dick did the best that he
could with what he had. We objected and asked that she stay in the record. There are new attorneys with new
ammunition. On my left is the complete investigative report. This was never seen. This is what was suppressed.
[Music] Did you turn over the 1400 pages of police reports? No. Every single thing
under the law Mr. Degaran was entitled to was turned over to him. I care about what I do. I care
about the process. And this process shook me. Kids in Katie, lots of them got shotguns. There were alternate
suspects in this case. What in the world do they have to do with who killed Belinda Temple? Nothing. She lied. She
cheated. and she broke the rules. That's not That's not Now the former prosecutor is on the defensive.
Eventually, everybody's going to understand that the truth is what happened in that courtroom and it's all
going to finally be over with. We call upon the Harris County District Attorney to immediately reopen the case. If David
Temple doesn't get a new trial and due process is dead in Texas and we should all just go home.
