single witness and made the case in the closing argument. the state failed to prove because it couldn t prove that tony russo was ever in diane s home, couldn t prove they killed her. tony did not testify. but he did talk to us. coming up, the verdict. when the jury walks back into the defense did not call a single witness and made the case in the closing argument. the state failed to prove because it couldn t prove that
i went to knle here in austin. a christian radio station. tony said they were helping him create a website for his christian rock band. okay. let s see, i talked to my wife and i was pulling into the parking lot. that would have been about 4:00, i believe. nobody came to the door. i went ahead and left. you made the trip up there for nothing? pretty much. then he got caught in the awful storm. got lost for a good hour or so. i got on the phone with my wife. she stayed on the phone with me. started getting later. that is when the heavy winds started coming. the tornadoes, i guess. what time did you get home finally?
his redemption. i have a ministry i go into prisons with. i go into churches and i share testimony with them on how they can deal with youth or whatever that is headed the wrong direction. at his local church he said he was the minister of music. what is the job at the church that they pay you for? my job is to make sure that the music or any kind of music being done for church services is handled whether i play it or have someone play it. in the spare time he fronted a christian rock band. what is the name of the band? broken silence. broken silence. good name. again said tony russo he was more than willing to cooperate with the investigation any way he could. i would be happy to do whatever it takes to do whatever you guys need. i don t have any problem with it at all. they asked him where was he when diane was murdered. did he have an alibi. thursday, that was the big day of the storm wasnt it? i spent time at the church.
my wife is better at the timing on this than i am. 5:30 i guess or 6:00. i am not really sure the time frame. thing was, diane s house, where she was killed, was not far from the radio station. do you remember ever talking to her? no, sir. tony said he had never seen diane. never talked to her? no. interesting. then detectives asked if he had been doing house hunting. any reason why you would be in the neighborhood looking for a house? no. none whatsoever? no. they knew a thing or two about that and the detectives leaned on him a little. you want me to tell you how serious this is.
he starts that tick in his neck. i said there he goes. he is doing it right now. they called the womans from younger years. phone call out of the blue after all of that time. she was not only surprised but angry. why did that have to happen and someone had to be killed before this was stopped. and it flooded right back. my heart started racing. just like being blindsided. some of the evidence came courtesy of tony s first wife. the first wife said he couldn t get aroused sexually unless he was choking her. the second wife confirmed he also choked her while they had sex. i will say that he does tend to put his hand on my neck. any time i feel my airway is getting restricted he always lets go. the strange and potentially dangerous fetish. isn t it possible he didn t want to kill diane?
