concerned about her son david. this is my son david. this is when he was 16. when i look at the photograph, it just makes me think of the good times that we ve had together. he s funny. he s always he s always making me laugh. and that s what i miss most about him. since they were arrested, dimauro has seen link only once during a court hearing. when i went to court, my son david did a heart motion. like this. he put his hands like this in a heart shape and he said that he loved me. he couldn t speak out loud but he motioned his lips i love you. it made me just burst out crying. link has accepted a plea deal for his role in the murder and could be called to testify against his mother and ackerman. i don t want to testify against no one but i ve always been a firm believer that the truth will set you free and everything. this whole entire crime was way against my morals. so the easiest way for me to
going on, he was like you don t need to know about it. he said it s better if you don t know. link said that ackerman ordered him to buy gasoline and bring it back to the apartment. when he returned, things were worse. brewer had stab wounds in his neck and his chest. and then later on after that, i even saw i witnessed them stabbing him and taking all his clothes. and at that point kind of hit me what they were doing. link says he assumed the gasoline would be used to burn brewer s clothes, but instead he claims ackerman and their two other male roommates stuffed brewer inside a duffel bag and stuffed him in a dumpster. i thought he was dead because he wasn t doing nothing but the i looked in the dumpster where his face in the duffel bag was moving in and out like he was trying to breathe. and kasey was starting to pour the gasoline on him. and i kind of just i couldn t i was just kind of stuck at that moment. i didn t know what to do. i was kind of just taken aback by t
within seconds the dumpster was in flames, and brewer was incinerated. were you afraid of kasey that night? yeah. what were you afraid of? i was afraid of getting stabbed. i didn t have nothing on me to protect myself. since link is already convicted and sentenced for his part in the murder, he is eligible to serve his time in a general population dorm with far fewer restricts than the confinement unit. that frustrates kasey ackerman. he is in general population right now. but they want to keep me behind this door. it s not right, you know what i m saying? i feel like i m being punished and at this point all i can do is prepare my mind for the worst and hope for the best. you going to be all right? in the next cell over, brian singletary is also frustrated with being in confinement, and it s only been a little more than a day now. when he first arrived at intake, jail officials confiscated suspicious tax forms that he
good times that we ve had together. he s funny. he s always he s always making me laugh. and that s what i miss most about him. since they were arrested, dimauro has seen link only once during a court hearing. when i went to court, my son david did a heart motion. like this. he put his hands like this in a heart shape and he said that he loved me. he couldn t speak out loud but he motioned his lips i love you. it made me just burst out crying. link has accepted a plea deal for his role in the murder and could be called to testify against his mother and ackerman. i don t want to testify against no one but i ve always been a firm believer that the truth will set you free and everything. this crime was against my morals. so the easiest way for me to fight that in my mind was just tell them the truth about exactly what happened. his testimony could send his mother to prison for years. i could lose my whole entire life.
found guilty, it may be due in part to the testimony of di mauro s 19-year-old son david link. he s accepted a plea deal for his part in the murder and is cooperating with the prosecutors. i m getting charged with accessory after the fact to first degree murder. and they re going to give me 35.5 months followed by five years probation. i told them everything i knew from my perception, everything i saw happen in order for them to know what happened. i feel like i did the right thing. link is a separate housing unit at the hillsborough county jail where he will serve out his sentence. he told prosecutors his mother was not out as she claimed but was in the apartment during the entire ordeal and that ackerman initiated the attack after the victim fell asleep in the bedroom. i just heard some banging around. i didn t know exactly what was happening. at one point kasey came out and i was trying to ask what was
