“We may need every penny of it" DeMocker says of insurance money | Forensic Files

I need to be sure that I can make sure that Charlotte goes to college I understand your concern but that that is
whe that is unfortunately at this point that has to be down the scale of priorities below Bond First Defense
second the amount of money that I was and setting I'm setting aside for Charlotte is not going to significantly
impede upon any of that sweetie let me be as direct as I can and I don't want to get into a fight but I want to make
sure we're clear with each other the only reason that it is even coming under we we need to be certain that
there is nothing you know the worst case scenario wouldn't occur until after uh that money is spent and we we may need
we may need very little of it if things go the way we're trying to make them go here but we may need every penny of it
for defense and I need to make certain that you understand that there will be no impediment to that if that's what we
need and I need to make sure you understand that I am trying to take care of my little sister I I understand that
you're trying to do that but we're going to get an AC quiddle here and if we don't you don't know that I'm really
sorry to be that harsh okay but like I am of course that is the most likely outcome and of course it's 99% sure that
that's going to happen and that's what we all want and that's what it is we will spend every little bit that we can
doing and and time energy resources whatever of course that's what we all want but you cannot say beyond a shadow
of a doubt that that is what is going to happen no that's absolutely right let me
correct myself
