for the murder of trent digiuro. thanks, his friends knew, to a woman who faced up to fear and told her story. we ve never met aimee and i m eternally grateful absolutely. to aimee for everything that she s done for not only trent and his family, but for us. except there was an appeal. of course there was. standard procedure. but what happened was not standard at all. a court reversed the jury s decision. any comment, shane? and shane ragland went home on a million dollars bail, paid by his dad, to wait for a whole new trial. it s been a long time, shane. how does it feel to be outside, going home with your father right now? i don t really look at it like that. i look at the long-term goal of fighting a case against me that s fake, that s false. and i know i m innocent. i don t worry about my feelings, creature comforts. why was the verdict thrown out? it had nothing to do with aimee lloyd or her explosive testimony or the sting tape recorded at the airport. all
despite being terrified of the defendant, shane s ex-girlfriend agreed to testify against him. police had moved her to a secure location. but now she had to face him in court, where her cross-examination would take an x-rated turn. here again is keith morrison with the motive. if there was any doubt how seriously police took perceived threats to aimee lloyd s security, this put it to rest. aimee, rushed into court by a s. w. a. t. team. but trent digiuro s dad mike knew that if she braved the danger and told her story i don t know how a jury could not convict him. but when it came for trial, then prosecutor luanna redcorn was all too aware she was alleging a very hard to believe motive. i think i was like everybody else, a little incredulous that somebody would let the fact that they d been blackballed
clear as day was an admission that he did indeed commit the murder. how to defend against that? shane s father hired a formidable defense team. guthrie true was one of shane s lawyers. if in fact, someone had actually told you they had engaged in a killing of another person and you continued a romantic relationship with them, that seems a bit odd. when the defense cross-examined aimee, she knew it was coming. had to. an attack on her credibility. but could she have suspected how personal it would be? this from true s co-counsel when aimee said she went home with shane that night after he talked about killing someone. weren t you concerned about spending the night with somebody who had admitted to you that he had killed someone else? i blocked it from my mind. i didn t want to i didn t want
aimee was afraid of shane ragland. and we told her that if she testified, we would do what we could to let her have a new identity. and law enforcement helped her get a new identity. and that new identity would be a problem. you talk about something that just blows you away. i mean, i couldn t even grasp that. because this case wasn t over. not even close. coming up a stunning reversal. they know i m innocent. will there ever be justice for trent? it s oh, wow. here we go all over again. when dateline continues. my mental health was much better. my mind was in a good place. but my body was telling a different story. i felt all people saw were my uncontrolled movements. some mental health meds can cause tardive dyskinesia, or td, and it s unlikely to improve without treatment.
