Speaker 1: A lot of times people who live in gaiety communities
Speaker 1: have a false sense of security.
Speaker 2: You live in this big, beautiful house because as you
Speaker 2: think you're in a very safe environment.
Speaker 3: I hander cards for hands or tide.
Speaker 4: It was definitely some kind of passionate crime.
Speaker 5: Are you saying that I did it?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Holy crap. Oh never. Never.
Speaker 1: Poor lady was sleeping in her home and was awoken
Speaker 1: to this monster breaking into her home.
Speaker 7: Deontay Rizillis is a prolific burglar. Somehow he got a handcuffed.
Speaker 2: Key and he just ran by everybody out of the
Speaker 2: front door and down in the back stairway.
Speaker 5: It was just so astonishing.
Speaker 8: It was just the kind of thing that couldn't possibly
Speaker 8: happen until it.
Speaker 6: Was happening right in front of you, your wife, an Laurie.
Speaker 9: This is what he's going to tell you.
Speaker 10: I'm going to have an situation, and I grab the
Speaker 10: gun trying to find the first place to put a body.
Speaker 9: No, sir, the only thing they could do was killing.
Speaker 9: You want to sell.
Speaker 6: Anything, lead the jury and to find the defendant.
Speaker 11: The west Ridge development in Davy, Florida, was home to
Speaker 11: some sixty families, including the Sioux.
Speaker 7: Family, a group of lovely people, very close to each other,
Speaker 7: parents that were very involved in their children's lives, a
Speaker 7: father who was, you know, a very high achieving scientist.
Speaker 7: They are financially very well off. She is a the
Speaker 7: Halliburton family. There was a division of property rights, mineral rights,
Speaker 7: and as a member of the Halliburton family, she ended
Speaker 7: up with some of those rights.
Speaker 11: Their son, Justin was living at home.
Speaker 7: He had just turned twenty, not doing as well as
Speaker 7: his dad had hoped in college, and he flunked up.
Speaker 7: So yeah, there was some tension, the kind of tension
Speaker 7: that happens when you have a loving father who expects
Speaker 7: a lot from his son and a son who is,
Speaker 7: you know, embarrassed and ashamed of the fact that he
Speaker 7: wasn't able to live up to his family's expectations.
Speaker 3: What is your emergency, my children? What is your name?
Speaker 6: Yes, Justin, Sue Joy, my mom call me, Justin.
Speaker 3: Are you with her right now? So he came out, No,
Speaker 3: she's not, she's not.
Speaker 7: She's recording on the phone. Call is very difficult to
Speaker 7: listen to, and you see the progression which takes all
Speaker 7: of about a minute from him saying my mom killed
Speaker 7: herself to then say wait, she's tied up.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know. I think hanser tide, our
Speaker 3: hands are tied.
Speaker 2: Okay, everything.
Speaker 3: I don't know, gonna under through.
Speaker 12: I don't know if I don't think anyone here but
Speaker 12: gotta be left already.
Speaker 6: But no one else is there.
Speaker 3: I'm today, I just I'm sorry. Oh my god.
Speaker 11: Homicide Detective Paul Williams was a sign.
Speaker 1: To the case myself in the crime scene investigator. We
Speaker 1: walked into the garage and through a single entry door
Speaker 1: into the home. I was pretty a pretty gruesome scene,
Speaker 1: probably one of the most terrific scenes that I've investigated
Speaker 1: in my time. She's bound together at her hands and
Speaker 1: at her feet, lying on the bathroom forward with multiple
Speaker 1: stab wounds amongst about our body. It was definitely some
Speaker 1: kind of passionate crime or when I figured somebody who
Speaker 1: close to her had an issue with her, or basically
Speaker 1: a heated fight or altercation had occurred.
Speaker 4: For the victim to get that many stab wounds.
Speaker 11: So her son, Justin was brought to police headquarters for questioning,
Speaker 11: asked for a DNA SAT and given a white jumpsuit
Speaker 11: after his clothes were taken for evidence.
Speaker 4: So that was my decision.
Speaker 1: You start off looking always at the person who discovered
Speaker 1: the victim and the people who were closest to or
Speaker 1: had the most to gain.
Speaker 13: Oh, we love you.
Speaker 5: Out of here.
Speaker 1: Obviously very shook it up in an interview room at
Speaker 1: first would have done this.
Speaker 5: Man, Man, I really want to tell you, I really
Speaker 5: don't know.
Speaker 14: I honestly think this is just a random I think
Speaker 14: these people have been looking out of my.
Speaker 5: House for a while for the last two weeks.
Speaker 14: Notice all his cars always had always had the cars
Speaker 14: out front.
Speaker 1: He immediately denied it and basically told us we need
Speaker 1: to go.
Speaker 4: We're wasting our time. We need to go find the
Speaker 4: real killer.
Speaker 11: Justin's father, doctor Nan Yaosu, was in an interrogation room
Speaker 11: down the hall.
Speaker 15: Obviously, I know as you're sitting here you can hear
Speaker 15: your son crying, and I know that hurts. But just
Speaker 15: understand that, you know, we have to follow procedure here.
Speaker 11: Doctor Sue told detectives he was at his office when
Speaker 11: he saw an image on a surveillance camera from the
Speaker 11: dining room that suddenly went blank. It had been ripped
Speaker 11: out of the wall.
Speaker 5: Did you tell if it was a male or female?
Speaker 5: I think he's a male okay, a skinny Okay. How
Speaker 5: old did this male work? Twenty?
Speaker 16: Is male?
Speaker 9: Black? Male?
Speaker 11: Or looks like a whites. Doctor Sue said after he
Speaker 11: saw the video, he called his son Justin at work
Speaker 11: to go home and check it out.
Speaker 15: Where was your son today when he left the house?
Speaker 5: Let me ask you that where was he supposed to be?
Speaker 5: He's supposed to go to walk.
Speaker 15: He didn't go to work, and you realized what, well
Speaker 15: you thought you saw that camera beforehand.
Speaker 5: It's sort of a pretty close description to your son.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and not only that, but could it have been Justin?
Speaker 1: Because Justin was inside the house and knew where these
Speaker 1: cameras were.
Speaker 11: As other detectives scoured the crime scene for clues, they
Speaker 11: found a knife outside the front door they later learned
Speaker 11: belonged to Justin, and while the house appeared to have
Speaker 11: been ransacked, detectives reported that nothing seemed to be missing.
Speaker 1: So those were all kinds of things that my partner
Speaker 1: and I were recording in the back of our head
Speaker 1: that we need to address.
Speaker 17: Dude, I'm I can't man, I've been in this room
Speaker 17: way too long, man, Okay, Listen, A lot of the
Speaker 17: stuff that we talked about earlier.
Speaker 5: The stuff you told us doesn't make sense. What do
Speaker 5: you mean, Are you saying that I did it?
Speaker 15: Yeah, holy crap, Oh my no, I did oh never,
Speaker 15: oh never do that.
Speaker 4: Dude.
Speaker 15: Oh my god, Oh my god. What what's so hard
Speaker 15: to believe I did that?
Speaker 11: I would break you.
Speaker 5: Nobody broken enough.
Speaker 4: Stop playing this.
Speaker 17: Go no long.
Speaker 9: We've been doing this job a long time.
Speaker 5: This horrible that you guys would even think that I
Speaker 5: would do it. I'm sorry, but you're sorry. I'm gonna
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go. No, You're not gonna go nowhere.
Speaker 9: Dude, there, I.
Speaker 11: Didn't do it.
Speaker 14: Oh my god, do you did you listen to me
Speaker 14: on the of.
Speaker 15: The Yeah, it's all both your whole both stupid plan
Speaker 15: and you did a job at the house.
Speaker 9: So you want to start coming clean. This is your
Speaker 9: only opportunity.
Speaker 5: You can understand your dad. What what I said to
Speaker 5: my dad? I I lied to my dad. I told
Speaker 5: him I was going to work.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 5: Inconsistently between your statement, you're going what what?
Speaker 3: Hey?
Speaker 5: We just want to know why, Oh my god, I
Speaker 5: didn't do it. I just want to know why I
Speaker 5: didn't do it. I didn't do I didn't hear my
Speaker 5: own book saying that over and over again. It ain't
Speaker 5: gonna go anywhere. I'm telling you, just why did.
Speaker 9: You do it?
Speaker 4: That's it?
Speaker 9: And do you feel bad at it? That's all? That's
Speaker 9: all I want to know.
Speaker 11: Detectives wet next door to tell Justin's father, doctor Sue,
Speaker 11: his son was now considered a suspect.
Speaker 18: But since my son is still my son, I would
Speaker 18: accept the truth that he did it. But before that,
Speaker 18: we need to make sure that everything it don't fail it.
Speaker 5: Okay, And you just said that if he did it,
Speaker 5: you would accept it. Is that what you said?
Speaker 18: If the truth, if the to the truths come out
Speaker 18: that he did it, I totally accept them.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 11: I'm a scientist.
Speaker 5: I go with the truth.
Speaker 11: And detectives were confident the truth would be found in
Speaker 11: the DNA on the knife at the murder scene.
Speaker 5: Dude, you guys got the wrong person.
Speaker 9: Man, I didn't do it.
Speaker 2: The police had that young man detained in an interview
Speaker 2: room for thirteen hours, filming constantly coming in and out
Speaker 2: of the interview room, so they focused in on him.
Speaker 15: You came in, you were thinking, you're gonna tell us
Speaker 15: that it was a wrong and they were looking at
Speaker 15: your house for two leads and all this.
Speaker 5: Guess what we can sift through?
Speaker 9: Bull real fast?
Speaker 15: Okay, that's all those things.
Speaker 5: I said, what's true? I don't know somebody was casing
Speaker 5: your house for two weeks. I don't know, because you're
Speaker 5: just giving us ideas.
Speaker 9: You know why, because you're the one responsible.
Speaker 5: So stop with the boys, God help you. I don't
Speaker 5: I did not know. Guess what. We know what helped
Speaker 5: is and we know what it looks like. We know
Speaker 5: both is and we know what it looks like. So
Speaker 5: stop stop, bro.
Speaker 18: I'm not posting to you officers, I swear on my life.
Speaker 11: It was now after three in the morning and still
Speaker 11: no confession.
Speaker 2: They didn't have grounds to hold it, and then they
Speaker 2: eventually had to release both man and then the the
Speaker 2: investigation continued.
Speaker 7: They process any items that could potentially have DNA on
Speaker 7: them of evidentiary value.
Speaker 1: One was a knife that was at the front door
Speaker 1: outside of the front door of the home and a
Speaker 1: belt that was used to tie the victim's hands up.
Speaker 1: About a week later, we got what we call a
Speaker 1: preliminary hit or identification.
Speaker 11: It was not a match with Justin Sue and he
Speaker 11: was clear as a suspect, as he had repeatedly predicted, when.
Speaker 14: You guys find out you're wrong, I hope you come
Speaker 14: and say sorry, to meet man or something, because this
Speaker 14: is a horrible No.
Speaker 15: This is a horrible If I found out I was wrong,
Speaker 15: I seriously consider a career change.
Speaker 1: I don't feel guilty for the reason or the ways
Speaker 1: that we went after him pretty hard, but at that time,
Speaker 1: our job is not to worry about feelings, and our
Speaker 1: job is to go about and to do the job
Speaker 1: for the victim who can't speak. I wouldn't have changed
Speaker 1: the way I did, or my partner feels the same
Speaker 1: way too.
Speaker 4: We wouldn't have changed it.
Speaker 11: But the DNA did lead that to another suspect.
Speaker 8: We're learning new details tonight about the man arrested for
Speaker 8: the murder of a South Florida mother.
Speaker 11: A nineteen year old Haitian American by the name of
Speaker 11: Deontay Rizilis.
Speaker 1: We knew Deantay risils was the person whose DNA came
Speaker 1: up on the pocket knife and the loop belt ins
Speaker 1: that would lose to tie up the victim.
Speaker 7: Deontay Risillis is a prolific burglar, and he had multiple
Speaker 7: over two dozen burglaries.
Speaker 1: This house seemed to very much match houses that he
Speaker 1: had burglarized in the past.
Speaker 7: He always gains access into the homes through a rear
Speaker 7: either window or glass window or glass door, and commits
Speaker 7: his burglaries sometime during the day where he expects the
Speaker 7: homes to be empty.
Speaker 1: When he was inside the home, he encountered missus poor
Speaker 1: lady was sleeping in her home and was awoken to
Speaker 1: this monster breaking into her home. I think she put
Speaker 1: up one hell of a fight tried to get away
Speaker 1: several times, which is why he felt the need to
Speaker 1: have to tie her up, bound her and stabb her
Speaker 1: and take off. He did not want to leave. An eyewitness,
Speaker 1: with the assistance of some cell phone tracking detectives, made
Speaker 1: contact with him and took him into custody without incident.
Speaker 1: I explained to him that I had a warrant for
Speaker 1: him for murder, and you're.
Speaker 5: Gonna be charge the first to gree murder, well, first
Speaker 5: first to murder. Okay, let him in charge.
Speaker 11: Prosecution was going to seek the death penalty, and the
Speaker 11: court assigns h. Don Williams, who specializes in such cases
Speaker 11: as Rizealis, as lawyer.
Speaker 2: In the beginning the case I thought was a very
Speaker 2: defensible case. Mister Sue, he initially said he saw white,
Speaker 2: a white guy.
Speaker 9: A black male or looks like a whites.
Speaker 2: Mister Rizal's background, he had other burglary cases and there's
Speaker 2: never any hint of violence.
Speaker 11: And Rozialis's friends and family who know him as Mucci,
Speaker 11: quickly came to his defense.
Speaker 19: That's not a crown that he would have committed.
Speaker 5: And I stand on that.
Speaker 7: I put my life on it.
Speaker 6: I know he didn't.
Speaker 11: Even paying for a billboard across the street from the
Speaker 11: Broward County Sheriff's office.
Speaker 8: It actually juxtaposed a picture of Jill Sue with a
Speaker 8: picture of Dante Rozilli's as if both of them are
Speaker 8: victims of this crime.
Speaker 11: For two years, the case against Allante Rizealis slowly moved
Speaker 11: through the court system in a series of procedural hearings.
Speaker 5: This was, for lack of a better term, a murder
Speaker 5: case like many.
Speaker 8: Other murder cases, and this was not going to be
Speaker 8: a case where we were going to go gabble to
Speaker 8: gabble until the suspect decided that we weren't.
Speaker 11: We're on top of breaking news and accused killer escaping
Speaker 11: from the Broward County courthouse.
Speaker 5: More than eight hours ago.
Speaker 2: An army of police descend on a locked down Broward
Speaker 2: County courthouse.
Speaker 11: Deonta Rasillis was on the wrong.
Speaker 5: It was just so astonishing.
Speaker 8: It was just the kind of thing that couldn't possibly
Speaker 8: happen until it was happening right in front of you.
Speaker 8: So now there's a killer on the loose, and everybody
Speaker 8: wants to know everything there is to know about Deonta Razillis.
Speaker 2: We're not seeing a new video of the chaos in
Speaker 2: a Broward courtroom when a murder suspect managed to slip
Speaker 2: out of his shackles and escape.
Speaker 7: Somehow he got a handcuff.
Speaker 12: Key, and he had a jail jumpsuit overclose that was
Speaker 12: way too large for him, so that he could remove
Speaker 12: it very quickly.
Speaker 7: He had people in the courtroom who gave him the
Speaker 7: signal of when the vehicle that was pick him up
Speaker 7: was in the back.
Speaker 2: He just ran by every day out the front door
Speaker 2: and down the back stairway, something right out of a
Speaker 2: television movie.
Speaker 19: The Roward County Sheriff's is twenty one year old Dante
Speaker 19: Rasiles is still missing.
Speaker 20: Police say he took off in a getaway car with
Speaker 20: the help of several accomplices.
Speaker 7: Huge story, huge man hunt all over the county.
Speaker 8: Believe no stone on, turn everything in the back, bring
Speaker 8: it back housby safely.
Speaker 5: Quickly, efficiently.
Speaker 2: The sheriff was going crazy. I think things spent about
Speaker 2: a million dollars in overtime trying to catch him.
Speaker 5: It was a black eye. It was hugely embarrassing. It
Speaker 5: was just so brazen. It was just so astonishing.
Speaker 2: The police thought I had something to do with it.
Speaker 2: You know, where'd he get the handcuff key to take
Speaker 2: off the handcuffs? Well, it must be the lawyer like
Speaker 2: yelling like really, come on.
Speaker 6: Guys.
Speaker 1: Had a large following of people. Basically they called him
Speaker 1: the Robin Hood of the neighborhood. So there was a
Speaker 1: lot of people that he had manipulated to follow him
Speaker 1: and help with his escape from the courthouse all the
Speaker 1: way through to try and throw off law enforcement at
Speaker 1: every level and hide and get away.
Speaker 2: In the beginning, they were often a ten thousand dollars reward,
Speaker 2: and I said to myself, that's not going to do it.
Speaker 2: The amount went to fifty thousand dollars, and I said, now,
Speaker 2: he's going to get.
Speaker 21: Caught breaking Overnight the Broward Sheriff's Office announcing the capture
Speaker 21: of Dayon day Risilds.
Speaker 19: A group of deputies surrounded a van that Resulz was
Speaker 19: in and was immediately escorted inside.
Speaker 2: Well, the motive was he was going to get out
Speaker 2: and prove his innocence and all that time. He's gone
Speaker 2: a week and he basically got forty five minutes away
Speaker 2: from the courthouse.
Speaker 8: When they get him and they look at his phone,
Speaker 8: he has not been on the hunt for the real killer.
Speaker 5: He has not been trying to clear his name. He
Speaker 5: wasn't doing anything along those lines. He was using his
Speaker 5: phone to look at porn.
Speaker 7: It was a total of eight people who were charged
Speaker 7: for participating and aiding and abetting him.
Speaker 2: Franzine measure Doo was arrested for giving him a wig,
Speaker 2: color changing contacts and clothing.
Speaker 8: Mucci, as he was known in the community, had tons
Speaker 8: of friends and he's a charismatic guy. That's one thing
Speaker 8: that we've learned throughout this process. He can talk an
Speaker 8: eskimo into buying.
Speaker 11: Knights and back in custody in the Broward County jail,
Speaker 11: Rizilis got another group of friends to help create a defense.
Speaker 8: The bottom line is he's trying to build an alibi
Speaker 8: that says he's in Georgia at the time that Jill
Speaker 8: Halliburton Sue is murdered. He's not aware that police are
Speaker 8: following his every move.
Speaker 11: The plot was busted and yet another group of Rizilla's
Speaker 11: friends and supporters faced prosecution.
Speaker 2: There's a young lady that gets charged in that she
Speaker 2: had never met mister Rises in person. She was an
Speaker 2: insurance agent and she gets fascinated by him and she says,
Speaker 2: I want to get married, that she wanted to marry him,
Speaker 2: so she pulled herself right into this case.
Speaker 8: This guy convinced your fourteen people to commit a crime
Speaker 8: on his behalf, to jeopardize their own freedom because charisma.
Speaker 8: That's just how charismatic he is. They called it Operation
Speaker 8: Rico Slavin. That's how police felt about this guy's ability
Speaker 8: to get people to follow him on this path, Operation
Speaker 8: Ricos Slaby.
Speaker 11: Finally, with enhanced security, Deonta Rizillis is put on t
Speaker 11: for the first degree murder of Jill Suke.
Speaker 7: The jury was out a very very lengthy period of time.
Speaker 7: They finally come back with a verdict and the verdict
Speaker 7: is guilty of manslaughter.
Speaker 5: Each juror is asked, is this your real and true verdict?
Speaker 8: And usually it's one of the most routine things that
Speaker 8: never results in anything, but of course, in the Deonta
Speaker 8: Razilia's trial, that process becomes its own drama because the.
Speaker 5: Very first person is the fourth person.
Speaker 22: And there is a pause, and no one expects a pause,
Speaker 22: and you could almost hear her struggling until.
Speaker 8: Finally she says no.
Speaker 5: No one ever says no. It's always yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 7: Never had that happen in thirty five years. When that happens,
Speaker 7: then the is not accepted. The jury sends the jury
Speaker 7: back and they have to continue deliberating, and they deliberated
Speaker 7: some more, and then came back the next day and
Speaker 7: they declared themselves to be a hung jury. I had
Speaker 7: five different jurors reach out to me and all of
Speaker 7: them said the same thing. They thought he was guilty.
Speaker 7: And several of those jurors told me that there was
Speaker 7: one juror in particular who said he was not coming
Speaker 7: back with a verdict that would send another young black
Speaker 7: man to prison for life.
Speaker 11: The judge declared a mistrial and said a new trial date.
Speaker 5: It all starts from scratch, as if the first trial
Speaker 5: had never had.
Speaker 11: Who was a do over?
Speaker 2: So you never know what's going to happen when you
Speaker 2: get a hung jury in a retrial.
Speaker 11: Reporters from around the world were there to watch the
Speaker 11: trial of the man being called an escape artist, the
Speaker 11: Houdini of Broward County, Deonta rizilis.
Speaker 2: We seem to get cases that attract national attention. Here
Speaker 2: brow Weird County.
Speaker 20: We we forget and we can't that a woman was
Speaker 20: brutally murdered and that if this person is convicted, the
Speaker 20: state is going to seek to put him to death.
Speaker 9: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 7: Here the basis of the cases. Does that mean, cried Burton,
Speaker 7: missus Sui's staff over a dozen times all throughout her chest.
Speaker 6: You will be.
Speaker 7: Talking to see what happens, Jesus.
Speaker 11: The prosecutor tells the Jerry. It will all turn on
Speaker 11: improved testing technique for the DNA found on the knife,
Speaker 11: the cloth tie, and the smashed glass entry door.
Speaker 7: They identify single source, one person's DNA at that point
Speaker 7: of entry. Defense and the end of all, I'm gonna
Speaker 7: ask you.
Speaker 9: To apply all along to decision and so we've you
Speaker 9: heardy to see the truth. Council, thank you. Uh, this
Speaker 9: is defensive opportunity to aggress.
Speaker 21: You please give defense counsel the same courtesy and attention
Speaker 21: you've previously displayed to the Schneider Council.
Speaker 9: I want to start with the fact that the evidence
Speaker 9: that you are going to here.
Speaker 23: In this case, it's gonna lead you work for questions
Speaker 23: that I answered, and the questions are a couple.
Speaker 5: That I like, that's you, which is.
Speaker 9: Did the husband or the son have a role in
Speaker 9: the death of Jill suit.
Speaker 7: The theory seemed to be that it could have been Justin,
Speaker 7: or it could have been doctor Sue, or it could
Speaker 7: have been just In a doctor Sue together. At the
Speaker 7: same time, when Nane Young talks.
Speaker 9: To the police, he.
Speaker 5: Describes the person that he saw in the.
Speaker 8: Cameras being white, being skinny ladies and gentlemen, the evidence
Speaker 8: in the space.
Speaker 23: Slowly lacking, and confident that after you listen to all
Speaker 23: the evidence in the case, who was the fact that
Speaker 23: the only.
Speaker 5: Lost the urgame ver non adults than.
Speaker 9: Raised your right hand would be more.
Speaker 11: Given the defense strategy, prosecutors knew they needed doctor Sue
Speaker 11: to deal with his statements to the police.
Speaker 5: Did the police ask.
Speaker 9: You if it was a life or white versus yes?
Speaker 9: What did you say?
Speaker 24: Uh?
Speaker 13: And they only gave me two choice brought and white,
Speaker 13: And I really might I should. I don't know because
Speaker 13: they can't tell.
Speaker 5: But at the time.
Speaker 9: I thought I had to.
Speaker 13: Give everything I thought speculation included. So because everything appeared
Speaker 13: to be white, I say, maybe white?
Speaker 9: And do you know for sure what color the person was?
Speaker 11: The actual video doctor Sue saw had been erased by
Speaker 11: the time police learned of its existence, so that important
Speaker 11: piece of evidence was never available. The cross examination of
Speaker 11: doctor Sue was handled by a defense lawyer, A Lai Domingus.
Speaker 9: And you said that that person looked white? Do you
Speaker 9: because you thought a person was actually white?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 13: Oh, I say it's a ps to be white because
Speaker 13: he he was interested as white.
Speaker 9: But you didn't when they ask you, was it a
Speaker 9: white male or a black mail? And your response that
Speaker 9: was it that person moves white to yous? Right, looks
Speaker 9: white because a pr to be whiteish.
Speaker 19: But you didn't say at any point when they asked
Speaker 19: you is it a white male or a black mail?
Speaker 9: You didn't say, I think white because of a person
Speaker 9: is where you're white?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 9: Nope. When they ask you is it a white male
Speaker 9: or a black mail you.
Speaker 19: Had absolutely no trouble understanding that.
Speaker 9: Question, right, Oh.
Speaker 24: It was.
Speaker 5: It was difficult for them. When does this end? How
Speaker 5: much more do I have to go through?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 5: To see justice in the case? Justine, you.
Speaker 9: Please have sea.
Speaker 7: He was very conflicted between hating the defendant and wanting
Speaker 7: to focus on telling the jury what it is that
Speaker 7: he saw and experienced. And you know that's a difficult
Speaker 7: thing to do.
Speaker 5: That's the first thing I see is this fad of
Speaker 5: my mom's head.
Speaker 4: Uh, just down in a.
Speaker 14: Baths up that it's just full all the way up
Speaker 14: to the top of just water mixed with blood.
Speaker 11: And I just start scursing, screaming.
Speaker 8: What the.
Speaker 25: Will I broke?
Speaker 5: Like theficient way another way of putting agente broke.
Speaker 7: Justin is you know, unfortunately going to be affected by
Speaker 7: this for the rest of his life.
Speaker 5: The police accuse you.
Speaker 9: Of so many.
Speaker 5: Did Jesus?
Speaker 9: Thank you? Thank you? Cross ease Oka Brave, sure what
Speaker 9: your kimmock? This is your up treaty for Cross you
Speaker 9: may proceed.
Speaker 11: The cross examination of Justin Sue was handled by defense
Speaker 11: lawyer Joseph Kimmock, who began with the fact that Justin
Speaker 11: had flunked out of Stetson College, agree with.
Speaker 5: Me that since you left Sesson, that that and then
Speaker 5: moved back into the house, and overall you felt that.
Speaker 9: That had a negative impact.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you and your parents' lies had gotten worse because because.
Speaker 5: It's correct, you saw your.
Speaker 9: Mom's pride because of what had happened.
Speaker 5: Perhaps correct, you have.
Speaker 9: Life of a number of about where you were between
Speaker 9: ninety fourty four and saws correct.
Speaker 5: To who.
Speaker 9: When you called nine one one?
Speaker 16: My correct that when you called nine one ones you
Speaker 16: told the nine one one operator that.
Speaker 9: You were one. I don't think it matters. Isn't it
Speaker 9: true that.
Speaker 5: Even after police attack? Is it huge you have murdered?
Speaker 5: You continue lies to them a lot where you are.
Speaker 24: A lot.
Speaker 14: When I was being interrogated, I possibly said that.
Speaker 5: I was under a lot of stress.
Speaker 24: I agree, we're being accused of murdering them all. And yeah,
Speaker 24: still made the decision she lies to them where you were?
Speaker 5: Where exactly it did? Did I say that after the
Speaker 5: police after get.
Speaker 4: Possibly?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Correct? Again, this is all you're saying.
Speaker 7: Yeah, probably a little more argumentative than I would have wanted.
Speaker 7: You know, we always warned witnesses don't get it, you know,
Speaker 7: don't get defensive, don't get argumentative. But it's hard when
Speaker 7: people are accusing you of killing your mother.
Speaker 9: Your mom had a will that.
Speaker 24: Uh yeah, yes, and under the under the will there
Speaker 24: was a scenario in which you would receive five hundred
Speaker 24: thousand dollars as a result of you know said, correct,
Speaker 24: what now.
Speaker 9: You don't know anything about Now, where did you get
Speaker 9: that number from the will?
Speaker 7: Okay, there's nothing I can do to stop that's right
Speaker 7: of confrontation.
Speaker 11: The prosecutor, Maria Schneider, used the redirect to give Justin
Speaker 11: the chance to better explain himself.
Speaker 17: Or just absolutely tread probably you know, I talked about
Speaker 17: this with psychologists. Is someone who sees something like that,
Speaker 17: they go into the brain shuts down and the objection
Speaker 17: to romans try to recome protective just like you know,
Speaker 17: so obviously I know my minor is literally trying to
Speaker 17: protect yourself from the memories of that day.
Speaker 7: Of course, when it's a case as serious as this,
Speaker 7: when somebody's life potentially is on the line, I think
Speaker 7: jurors rightfully so want to have as much shurness as
Speaker 7: they possibly can, as much certainty as they possibly can,
Speaker 7: and the fact that you know, I have no person
Speaker 7: who can say yes, he killed her is always a
Speaker 7: benefit to the defense.
Speaker 11: But the prosecution did have one eyewitness from that day
Speaker 11: at the neighbor across the street from the Sioux home.
Speaker 9: I heard a high pitched.
Speaker 12: Shrieky sound, squeely sound.
Speaker 9: Where did you at?
Speaker 26: I saw across to the Sioux's front door, and they
Speaker 26: have double doors as well. One of their doors was
Speaker 26: open partially and I saw a light colored image object
Speaker 26: at the front door about waist high, and it was
Speaker 26: going back into the house.
Speaker 9: And how sure are you about the time that suit
Speaker 9: around me? Oh, I'm certain that it was around him.
Speaker 7: We know where Justin was at noon because we have
Speaker 7: him driving out of the garage at Broward College at
Speaker 7: twelve eighteen, twelve nineteen, And we know that missus Sue
Speaker 7: was alive around noon.
Speaker 11: And doctor Sue was in his university office at the
Speaker 11: same time.
Speaker 7: We know because he was using his computer. We know
Speaker 7: for multiple reasons where he was at noon. This is
Speaker 7: why the neighbor from across the street, Betty Dutgo, became
Speaker 7: such a crucial witness.
Speaker 11: Her testimony may have helped to clear Justin Sue and
Speaker 11: his father, but it did not in any way implicate
Speaker 11: Deontae Rizillis.
Speaker 7: Who as a cucumber, laughing, joking, acting like nothing matters.
Speaker 8: Dante Rezillis is a clearly a man of supreme confidence.
Speaker 8: As these proceedings are going forward. He never betrays any
Speaker 8: look of worry, any look of concern. It's like he's
Speaker 8: insulted that all of this is happening.
Speaker 5: He just looks like, seriously, you think I did this.
Speaker 8: Of the family members who showed up sincerely believed that
Speaker 8: an injustice has been done. They are people who genuinely
Speaker 8: believe that that Dereanto Rizillius is an innocent man.
Speaker 5: He wants his friends and family to know he's got this.
Speaker 5: He wants the jury to know this could not possibly
Speaker 5: have been me.
Speaker 7: I mean, we don't know what to expect.
Speaker 3: We all just hear in support of my brother.
Speaker 11: Now the time had come for Rizillus to decide whether
Speaker 11: he would take the stand in his own defense.
Speaker 9: You understand you have a right to testify too, and
Speaker 9: that's your right right, do you understand? And is this
Speaker 9: your decision that you don't want testifie.
Speaker 11: All right, thank you.
Speaker 7: I can't show you a video of the defendent committing
Speaker 7: this offense because there wasn't one, but the science sees
Speaker 7: him there.
Speaker 9: The science season.
Speaker 7: Committing this DNA is the old standard, and his DNA
Speaker 7: is there.
Speaker 5: The science puts him there.
Speaker 7: The science puts in the hands on of Levin. The
Speaker 7: science puts his hands on an item that time is supper.
Speaker 5: Murder of the secondary would be giving you a huge
Speaker 5: way because what he did face the definition of brother personally.
Speaker 7: Drew.
Speaker 9: There's no evidence that he's a person that killed Jill Soon.
Speaker 19: The way that she was killed, it's like it's not
Speaker 19: to someone that I'm familiar to her. It seems like
Speaker 19: a passionate crime is to stab her over twenty five
Speaker 19: times and all the.
Speaker 10: Everything that you've heard is that theon Ti Rizilas had
Speaker 10: absolutely no idea who Josue was at best improvement when
Speaker 10: the day was outside of the home on two items,
Speaker 10: the knife.
Speaker 5: And the north and since high tide, that is.
Speaker 12: Not enough to find somebody guilty.
Speaker 9: The only just verdict in this case is a verdict
Speaker 9: of not guilty.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 11: In her rebuttal, Prosecutor Maria Schneider used rezealous as escape
Speaker 11: attempt as further evidence of his guilt.
Speaker 19: For the first two years he was in custody, he
Speaker 19: meticulously planned an escape.
Speaker 5: But jacks will joy back nine and any.
Speaker 9: Lads dont jordial line or only recollection of the Heaven.
Speaker 19: Institution because it's really easy to escape clonel more rights.
Speaker 6: An escape.
Speaker 12: Gets caught and work out for five days.
Speaker 19: That's CID escaping shows a consciousness of guilt.
Speaker 9: Is he don't manage standing you ever? First? Is that correct?
Speaker 5: And this time is did not take as long wetur
Speaker 5: to find this he results in this case. But if
Speaker 5: ID is.
Speaker 25: Guilty of murder in a first degree, that's charged me.
Speaker 25: And he's putting on a show, a very good one.
Speaker 8: Not even when he's being sentenced and he finally sits
Speaker 8: down and has a chance to address the.
Speaker 5: Judge and the public, come me.
Speaker 8: Name is Dante resists and says, just when I wrote
Speaker 8: it a note, I didn't do this, I didn't commit
Speaker 8: this crime.
Speaker 5: I had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 16: I would never take a wife from a high screen,
Speaker 16: I would never take.
Speaker 6: A mother from my child.
Speaker 16: I read every newspaper article that came out Baby at
Speaker 16: Large twenty five times Missus suer style.
Speaker 5: That's being on my Compidhenshion.
Speaker 16: I don't possess the hate rage inside my arm to
Speaker 16: commit such an aniens crime. I can't change your guy's
Speaker 16: perception and feeling towards me. But any day, at any hour,
Speaker 16: any decade, if it will provide you guys with the soldiers,
Speaker 16: they can hook me up to a polygrad test at
Speaker 16: any given time, ask me any question they wish in
Speaker 16: my Ansle and Maine saying I did not kill missus Sue,
Speaker 16: and that's all I have to say.
Speaker 8: It was smug, it was defiant. It was exactly what
Speaker 8: the Sioux family had come to expect of dayanti zealous.
Speaker 11: You know what the day job is.
Speaker 5: The day job is to help people like you, Chill.
Speaker 11: It's a kind of person who could help you.
Speaker 5: Instead, you kill her.
Speaker 4: No, you did not just kill.
Speaker 5: No, you kill for the cold block like a psycho.
Speaker 13: After this, today, the end, the resial, I'm gonna evase
Speaker 13: you from my favor.
Speaker 3: In my mind.
Speaker 2: You are.
Speaker 5: As long note produ you've DENI exist, then we are
Speaker 5: going to make sure we get popery the risk of life.
Speaker 5: Why do you rock and chill?
Speaker 14: There's so many aspects of my life and better just
Speaker 14: absolutely ruined in way that I don't know and that
Speaker 14: I do know because of what you did. You're a
Speaker 14: whole entourage of people that you have Instagram, Facebook, all
Speaker 14: this stuff that's attacking me and blaming me.
Speaker 5: Stop stop it. That that's you're literally murdered a.
Speaker 14: Mother, and then now you're trying to blame the sun
Speaker 14: for what you did. The only person on the entire
Speaker 14: planet that knows the last words but my mother, that
Speaker 14: psychopath right there.
Speaker 5: And we'll never know what it was.
Speaker 14: You're gonna be very as a very tiny spot for
Speaker 14: the rest of your life. And that doesn't make me
Speaker 14: sleep better at night. But just know that that's a fact,
Speaker 14: just like the fact that you've murdered my mother. That's
Speaker 14: a fact that that's what the rest of your life
Speaker 14: is going to look like. Thank you, mister Thilse.
Speaker 21: The jury, having found you guilty of murder the first degree,
Speaker 21: has charged in the indictment of the court, now finds
Speaker 21: you guilty adjudication guilty and sends you life from prison.
Speaker 8: The prosecution decided to take the death penalty off the table,
Speaker 8: and part of the reason that they did that was
Speaker 8: that this was not something that Jill Halibert and Sue
Speaker 8: would have wanted herself. She was not a vindictive person.
Speaker 8: They don't want to think of themselves as vindictive people.
Speaker 8: They wanted the kind of closure that comes with knowing
Speaker 8: that this man will be in prison for the rest
Speaker 8: of his life.
