Last Statement:

I'd like to address the Kitchens and Mosqueda Families. I want you to know that I never killed James and Amy. And if I did, if I knew who did, you would've been the first to know any information I would've had that would've helped to bring justice to James and Amy I would've shared. I want you all to know that I don't think that this situation here will bring you closure if it does. If this is what it takes or have any
reservations off in your mind, then so be it. This is not going to help you guys and I want you to know
from me that it never occurred. No. I want all of you to know I did not kill James and Amy. Okay. Now that I have addressed them, I would like to address and thank my attorney Gene Bund, I'd like to thank my mom, Sylvia Cantu, Matt Duff, Michael Frazier, and of course sister Helen, everyone that came to my rescue to help me. Including my family and my friends and my supporters. Everyone that blessed me to be in this position and it was an honor to work with all of them but I would especially like to thank Matt Duff for believing in me and digging deep and unraveling the case that he did to prove to the world that I do not belong on this gurney, to keep up the fight and to keep searching and doing what needs to be
done to find all the answers and bring closure to the truth to the Kitchens and Mosqueda Family. Last, I'd like to close by telling Michael that I love her, and I will always be with her. Matthew 6:21 lgfyus love forever that's it that's all I got to say. Warden I'm ready.
