We have a Habeas Petition

of Lacey Stubbs.

I'd like to give both

parties an opportunity to...

Request additional testimony...

On topics that the court has

not sufficiently addressed.

Where the f*** is Sumnter?

Did you ever socialize

with Lacey Stubbs?

No sir.

Did you have sex with Lacey Stubbs?

No sir, I did not.

Did you rape Lacey Stubbs?

Absolutely not.

Do you know where you were

on November 29th, 2007?

Yes, I was in Chicago

with my wife and son.

So now you say you're in Chicago?

November 29th, 2007?

Yes, that's correct.

And we're supposed to

take your word for that?

You could, or you could...

Check my credit card receipt.

So it's still your testimony

that Detective Welch raped you?

She said I wouldn't have

to go through this again.

Answer the question.

Yes, he raped me.

Reading from the record now...

Welch got off me...

And said if I open my mouth...

They'd come back and

do the same to my kid.

That's still your testimony?

Yes.

But on November 29th, 2007...

You didn't have a child, did you?

He said...

It's a simple yes or no question.

He said he was gonna rape my kid.

Maybe he meant the one inside of me.

I don't know what he was thinking.

Your Honor, I'd like

to mark this State 12.

Do you recognize this book?

Not really.

Would you mind reading the

underline passage here?

Starting with "I could feel

the gun against my throat".

She's trying to f*** me!

Miss Dubbs.

That cocksucker got him

that in the first place.

You f***ing b*tch!

I'm gonna kill you!

Get the f***...

I'm gonna f***ing

slice your throat!

I'll kill you!

I'll cut you!

Court order!

Clear the room!

I'll f***ing kill you!

Hurry!

I'll kill you!

One of my sponsor's

favorite saying is...

You can't change the wind.

But you can adjust the sail.

It's been a pretty

rough year recently.

Somedays it's...

All I can do to...

Hang on and hold my head up high.

So I can see the damn sails without

getting my head knocked off, but...

I'm here.

Again.

Still.

Graditute's always

been really hard.

But I want to say thanks.

I won't be here without you.

Call me, as soon as you land.

Yeah.

And, don't forget

you're starting over.

Every single day.

One f***ing day at a time.

Yeah...

Okay...

You're an a**hole.

Did you figure it out yet?

The great and the special?

I'm still working on it.

Oh.

Maybe that's it. Maybe...

I never give up.

That's not nothing.

Is this my room?

Yeah.

I have a rainbow room

in daddy's house.

Well, now you have

one at my house too.

A fish.

Hi boy.

I'm gonna name you Rainbow.

Is that okay?
