of this tragedy is more emmitt corrigan than you? absolutely, yes. and so you, sitting in prison for the next god knows how many years, are as much a victim as anybody else? it s devastating. i wish i had never gone there that night to get my wife. or if you went that somehow you d not taken your gun along? i think that i d do the what if game on that. i think what if he would have pounded my face into the cement and not stopped? and then people would say, why didn t he have his gun with him? and thus you encounter one of the elements of classic tragedy. the thing you buy to protect yourself is the thing you use to destroy yourself. yeah. another thing to contemplate in your jail cell late at night. yeah.
back of my driveway, emmitt texted me, hey, what are you doing? i said, i m going to walgreens. he goes, i was just there, hey, meet me there. and then what happened next, you can watch it yourself right here on surveillance tape. i go to walgreens, go through the drive-thru. and i pull around and i park my car. then he pulls up, and i get in his truck, and we go to fred meyer. there they are again getting gas at fred meyer when emmitt opened the truck s rear door. he pulls out all these prescription bottles. and i said, what are you taking? he said, well, if you don t want to grow a penis, don t take it. then he got back in the truck and we drove off. from there candy and emmitt pulled into a secluded spot and had sex under a street light. that s where they were, tangled up in each other, when candy s phone rang. her daughter coming home from a date had seen her car in that parking lot. she said, mom, why is your
shots, turned to face his wife, attempted to commit suicide with the third shot. the theory backed up by forensics. the shots were fired from close range, two or three feet. there was a heavy concentration of gunshot residue on only robert hall s hands and only one man s dna on the trigger guard. the dna matched that of mr. hall. i think that rob hall went to the walgreens in order to confront emmitt corrigan, that he took a loaded gun and rob decided that was his opportunity to get his candy back, by killing emmitt. why did he talk to emmitt for eight minutes before he fired? the store was closing, said the prosecutor. people were going home. i think he waited until there were no eyewitnesses, and he executed emmitt corrigan. a neat and tidy theory,
he also thinks about his two daughters, whose lives their graduations, triumphs, marriages, children he will never witness. two girls who at the ages of 18 and 14 back then suddenly found themselves left without either parent in the home. because of a final twist to this story of the trail of retributi retribution. rob s wife candy was sent to prison herself. because of the killing? no. she pleaded guilty to charges of grand theft for embezzling some $30,000 from the attorney for whom she worked before emmitt corrigan. she served 18 months for that. she s on parole now. before she went to prison, she talked to us about regret. i have a lot of guilt still in me. a lot. and it has to do with my kids and his kids. and it makes me sick how i could
spicy text messages. i would like to be put on that pedestal, emmitt made me feel that way. it was an ego boost for me. she was not trying get back at her husband, at least not kshly. i was thinking of me. only me. it made me feel good, and made me feel on top of the world. sitting here, is candy still only thinking of candy. perhaps as you hear the rest of the story, you can be the judge of that. anyway, there was a few hitches in her new found fantasy life. to start, emmitt corrigan was married and lived a quiet suburb a couple of miles from candy. with this woman, his wife, ashley. he was just, a guy that everybody wanted to be around. enthusiastic. full of energy? sometimes too much energy.
