she pleads guilty to reduced charges of attempted felonious assault and is given a six-month sentence which is suspended pending the successful completion of probation. christina got upset. so i don t know. i ve heard lots of rumors. really didn t have much involvement in what went on or really know what went on. was just kind of the unlucky eyewitness. christina also confirms that derek passed out on the couch early on. his charges are reduced, and he receives a $200 fine. my concept of friendship has kind of changed. i start hanging out with friends that i probably should have been hanging out with all along. i still hang out with jimmy once in a while, but we re both working, and we ve been friends for a long time, and we can t turn our back on each other even if we have different views of what happened that night.
christina and danielle, they were competitive against each other because they both had a crush on travis so they were competitive, a lot of tension in the air between them two. they didn t care for each other. the day after the alleged kidnapping, danielle called oklahoma avenue and spoke to christina and then to travis. she had an odd question to ask. let me ask you this, miss taylor, you, in fact, contacted certain individuals at that home after this incident took place. yes, i did. you mentioned my client christina lumm who was your friend in high school, correct? not friend. you spoke to her about the availability of mr. payea? yes. a potential relationship with travis? in a sense, yes. there were a lot of girls that were interested with travis but none of them had a chance. they thought they did. but they didn t. they just tried to get them to like him, tried to do anything. they tried too hard. obviously he didn t like that.
christina lumm, jim carwile, derek faxlinger, travis and jon cockerell. at approximately 11:00 p.m. we were just hanging out, having fun, you know, drank a little bit and supposed to just be a little get-together. quite frankly, it was one of the most repulsive, sadistic things i ve ever seen in 24 years. within two months all the defendants have been released on bail until their case is resolved. but the prospect of life imprisonment hangs over them. abc 12 s michael rosenfield spent the day in pierre county district court. he joins us for the story. michael. angie, this is the first time we have heard the victim in the case, 19-year-old danielle tyler.
the other defendant s cases remain open. jimmy carwile explains the charges he faces. felonious assault without intent to harm, that carries up to four years. there s conspiracy to felonious assault without intent to harm. that carries up to four years. there s kidnapping. that carries 25 years, and then there s conspiracy to kidnapping which carries 25 years, so altogether i m facing 58. now that christina has agreed to testify for the prosecution, the closing moments of the tape as danielle is carried into the woods are even more critical for the defense. travis carried me down to the boat. i knew i was outside. it was cold. i could feel well, i knew we were stepping on snow but that s all i knew.
