steven tells me that he felt betrayed by josh. he felt dragged into this horror of a crime, and he also felt in a crazy way betrayed by mrs. petit, because he looks out the window, and he sees police cars. and he realizes that mrs. petit must have informed bank officials. he is triggered into this state of rage. he strangles jennifer hawk p hawke-petit and pulls down her pants and rapes her after he
i don t want to answer any questions. i feel so sad. i don t know if any of the other defense attorneys there will be automatic appeals. there will be appeals upon appeals, this will go on for years and years and years. we offered to plead guilty to every charge so long as his death was not the rut. so joshua would have been sentenced to life without the possibility of release, would have happened three weeks after the crime had taken place. josh would have disappeared into the great abyss of the perfonal system and would never have been heard from again. that was not serious enough punishment for the state. and then, of course the state was being goated on by dr. petit and so we had to go through three years of haze and joshua.
the town of cheshire. we applied through the town of cheshire for more material right after the crime took place. we finally got new information yesterday, a complete transcript with the time of the initial call from the bank official regarding mrs. petit being at the bank, saying she might be held hostage to the time the suspects were arrested outside the petit household. and our review of this document, which is heavily edited, to protect potential witnesses of the town, has told us, raises the possibility that officers on alert could have maybe stopped this car with the suspect and mrs. petit as they were coming home from the bank. perhaps could have beat them back to the house, could have separated the two suspects at that time. and maybe things would have had a different outcome. and what s still out there, no one knows what the initial 911 call said, what the bank official said to police when she called. what were they told? was it clear? did they know they had a hostage crisis
i look at him and i think, i still can t believe that you did this. i said as soon as i found out that my sister died, just come into me, and be a part of me. so i kept staring at him, and sometimes i think that is that a part of her saying stare at him and don t take your eyes off of him, like he cannot be trusted. i d like to say a few things to these guys. i d like them to answer me the question do they know what it is to be terrorized? after waiting more than three years the petit and hawke
now they can leave. but joshua tells steven that they have a problem. he had left dna with one of the children, and he had to kill them and they re dead and that petit had died from the injuries and now he had to get his hands dirty and killed mrs. petit. i believe steven, but from the first time that josh talked to the police, he tried to save himself by blaming steven for all of the horrific stuff that occurre occurred. steven had come back to the house, and he had the money in his hands. he says very sr. matter of factually, okay, you are ready, and we can go now, and burn the house down. i am like, we are not killing anyone. there is no way. well, then, you know, i ll kill the two daughters and you can kill the mom. i was like, i m not killing
