THE VERDICT After about two to three hours, the jury was back with a verdict. Mr. McGraw told us that he thought it might be too soon and told me to prepare for the worst. When Mr. McGraw told us that, you could have heard a pin drop in that room. We were all in the front hall at the top of the stairs when he told us. My family members and friends were the only ones there. I know everyone was thinking the same thing. Did we do the right thing? Should I have taken the plea bargains? Will I ever see my kids again? I was scared. At one point, Investigator Mary Clark, who took my girlfriend out of the house in the beginning of all of this, was walking up the stairs, when she saw my family at the top, she turned around and went back down. They put me through this hell and she didn't even have the guts to face my supporters. Just amazing.
NOT GUILTY! Two of the best words I've heard in a long time. As soon as it was read, Mary Clark ran out the back door of the courtroom and I never saw her again. My Aunt Vicki (Newberry) screamed in joy, Mr. McGraw thanked the Jury and so did I. Everyone was hugging and kissing. I thought for sure Judge Martusewicz would call us to calm down, but he never did. My uncle, former Sheriff Don Newberry, was especially excited. Not only
was he excited for me, but the justice system that he so much believed in
works. If it wasn't for him, I don't think I would have had the courage to
get through this.
