black infinity wouldn t go away. i m not going to be able to get any esleep 7 i might as well go see what i can find. he had carter was address so wee hours of saturday morning he drove over there and what do you know? but he didn t knock on her door. i was going to basically sit here and watch the vehicle to see if it moved. for hoar than four hours he sat in his car, cold but patient and at about 8:00 a.m. saturday he saw the lights of of the infinity flash as if someone was unlocking it remotely. i then see a female enter the passenger side of the black infinity. they drove off, the detective follow oed and after a few minutes the the finty pulled into, of all places, the human mall.
and it had something to do with drinking out of this bottle of water. and i thought, now that that took some work. that is one heck of a lie. and it was at that point that i put my pen down and said, i am not writing this. i am not going to write this down. reporter: his voice dripping with sarcasm, prosecutor rousseau took her story apart. he showed the jury a picture. is that the gun that you re talking about that you were very uncomfortable with being in your apartment? yes. that s the one that s laying beside you while you re having your morning coffee? yes. reporter: and then he drilled down into the heart of carter s story. just who were those mysterious rapists? they all spoke the only way i would describe it is ghetto ebonics. okay, so in your mind these are black people, black men? no, sir, i did not say that. reporter: but, said the
uta lawyer down at the station. glrs do you go by carter or carol? carter. somehow she switched her dark clothes for pink scrubs. i had a job opportunity with american eagle outfitters. she worked at the store for about four months and wasn t a very friendly assistant manager. she did make an impression on some younger clerks. carter was very smart, very deep. she was good at reading people and knowing how to converse them. you could tell that she was well educated. -a lot more to her than most sales retail managers do. but he knew something else about carter and david mallory,
and then we talked and i went back to sleep. when i woke up he wasn t there. he d heard enough. i know that s a lie. no no, it s not. i saw you come out of your apartment and i saw him drive out of there. that s why i know it s a lie. he was tough but carter wasn t giving an inch. coming up. there s an actual human grave that s been dug. fresh grave? fresh grave. fresh grave fresh grave
prosecutor, that s exactly what she was suggesting. if she was gonna try and play that card, i was gonna make her spell it out. is ebonics a term that is commonly associated with african-americans in this country? i don t know where ebonics is commonly associated with. i associate it with a certain type of speech that i would associate with the word ghetto. reporter: but if she was hoping to play to some random juror s racial bias, she guessed wrong. the jury didn t believe it. not for a second. they found her guilty in less than two hours. as for david mallory, his attorneys argued he had nothing to do with the murder. he was involved with carter, yes, but not with any killing. that jury didn t buy that either rendering a guilty verdict in no time at all. the verdicts were some consolation for those who loved ashlea harris. i still miss her. she saw the best in everybody.
