how you feeling how you feeling Temple excuse me excuse me where my your first thought David as you come
out uh it's it's been nine years it's been a long journey and uh we're waiting for justice to be served once and for
all and for the people that put me there and lied and cheated to be held accountable David Temple spent 9 years
in prison for for a crime he says he did not commit a Court ruled his trial was unfair and he's out for now the question
is will prosecutors try him again there have been developments in this case in just the past few months and we've been
covering it since 2007 we the jury find the defendant David Mark Temple guilty of murder as
charging the indictment David Temple was convicted after a week trial by a fair and
impartial jury he was given a life sentence for executing his wife and unborn child my name is Kelly seigler I was a
Harris County prosecutor for 21 years you had 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 Katie 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 [Music] horrible 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 dearin made the argument that there were more than
one burglar dick dearen 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 Temple's appeals team discovered evidence was withheld from the defense
on my left is the complete investigative report this was never seen this is what was
suppressed did you turn over the 1400 pages of police reports no every single thing under the law Mr dearen 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
last fall a court agreed that evidence was withheld and overturned Temple's conviction but it is not over yet David
Temple is innocent I want an complete exoneration prosecutors will have to decide whether to try him again for the
murder of his wife do you think you're going to be retried I don't know but if I need to do it I would do it and I'd do
it tomorrow if I need to do it [Music]
