i really felt like i had judy on my shoulder. i really did. i felt that family just really gave me a lot of hope and faith. less than three hours later, there was a verdict. we were all everybody was holding hands as tight as we could. and when they read that verdict, i mean, you could just hear everybody gasp. we, the jury, find the defendant, james harold baldwin jr., guilty of murder. i just broke down and crying. because i just couldn t believe it. we finally got justice for mom. detective chris reynolds was in the courthouse that day, too. he believes the jury made the right decision. and he wants the public to know he did more than they think to look into judy s death. still, he realizes because of his incomplete investigation, a killer might have walked free. you get emotional over this? i do.
today? yes, ma am. even though she was a witness for the state, the prosecutor immediately faced a big challenge. teri flat out denied having a romantic relationship with jamie. was it fair to say that, um, you were both in love with each other? no, that is not fair. it s not? i wasn t in love with him, but i did love him. you weren t in love with him but you did love him. yes. and how long had you loved him but not been in love with him? i ve never been in love with him. now miss king, were you having a sexual relationship with the defendant? no, ma am. but the prosecutor did have text messages sent between teri and jamie. i m going to show you this highlighted portion here. the judge ruled she couldn t show them to the jury, but she could question teri about them. what kind of things would you all say to each other about how you felt about one another? i would tell him i love him. okay.
