I first would like to address the Little family and Mrs. Little in particular. I can identify with what you said, the depression and the darkness, and I wish I could tell you why Bill was murdered, but I can't. I speak from being a father and a brother, and I don't think anybody can really say how you feel or understand. I don't know. And I don't understand, and I don't know. And I'm sorry for your loss. But I am not responsible for it.

And I would like to say to my family that I could have been a better husband and a, excuse me, and a father; and one thing that the jury cannot take is that when Bill Little lost his life we know where I was at, and I am now a member of a small minority of people in this state and across this country that are wrongfully convicted for things that they didn't do. And I can only hope that I will some day be vindicated and be a member of the even smaller minority of people who it's proven that they didn't commit the crime.

And I am sorry for the Little family, but I did not murder your son or your grandson or your brother, and that's all I have to say.
