strong language
'and scenes which some viewers
may find distressing.'
OPERATOR:'What is your emergency?'
(MAN CRIES)
DISTRESSED VOICE:
My mom killed herself!
'OK...'
..in the bathtub!
'What is the address
of the emergency?'
10327 Southwest 22nd Place, Davie.
OK.
(CRYING CONTINUES)
'Is she breathing?'
No, she's not! I tried...
'She's not breathing?'
She's not!
(CONVERSATION INDISTINCT)
She's cut all her...her neck.
'She cut her neck?'
I don't know... Do you know what?
I think it's... I don't know.
I think it's a murder, I think.
Her hands are tied.
'Her hands are tied?'
(INDISTINCT)
'OK.'
I think... Oh, my God.
All her cupboards
have been rummaged through.
'What did you find?'
I found a broken door.
I found a broken door.
'You found a broken door where?'
In the guest room.
'Justin?'
What the fuck?!
(INDISTINCT) ..knife.
'Don't...'
This is... This is dirty.
This is dirty!'Were you saying
something about a knife, Justin?'
Yeah. I-I just found a knife near
my front door.
I'm walking around my house right
now.'Just don't touch anything.'
MUSIC: Deep Movement by DJ Tools
'This morning, a murder mystery
in a quiet, gated community.
'Jill Halliburton Su
found dead in her bathtub.'
'Jill Su is related to
the Halliburton oil empire.
'Her great uncle
founded the company.'
'Police say her husband, Dr Nan-Yao
Su, was at work Monday morning
'and told them when he couldn't see
his home surveillance cameras
'on his computer, he called his
oldest son to check on the house.'
'An autopsy now confirms the woman
was murdered
'but how and why is still unclear.'
By all accounts, all seemed normal
before this incident.
The victim had just gotten back
from a vacation to Malaysia.
This morning, police say they don't
have a suspect or person of interest
and they certainly haven't revealed
any possible motive for this murder.
At this time, this is a very active
investigation.
'We did find a door
that was broken.'
'Suggesting the house could have
been broken into.
'A room reportedly ransacked.
'Police are now canvassing
that gated neighbourhood,
even diving into nearby canals.
Police make an arrest
in the death of a woman
whose body was found last week
inside a gated community in Davie.
And the suspect just 20 years old.
Police say he may have gotten
spooked while trying to rob her.
'His name is Dayonte Resiles.
'He's being booked into the
Broward county jail as we speak.
'Investigators say it appears
Resiles
'was burglarising the home and
didn't think anyone was inside.'
'Detectives say he has a history
of breaking into high-end homes.
'Why he chose the Sus' residence
is still unclear.
'Cops don't know of any connection
between him and the family.
'They're trying to figure out how he
got into the gated neighbourhood
'and got away undetected.
'Detectives won't say what led them
to Resiles
'but sources tell Local 10 it was
forensic evidence
'discovered at the murder scene.'
His DNA was present
and it was unexplainable.
The police had no idea -
the Davie police department - had no
idea who Dayonte Resiles was.
They had no reason to suspect him,
in fact, they didn't suspect him
until his DNA popped up
at the scene.
I didn't believe, I didn't think it
was real, you know?
I thought I was sleeping.
When I was in
the investigation room,
I'm biting inside my mouth because
I'm feeling, "This is not real."
And they told me what's what.
And they told me what I've been
charged with.
So my whole life just fell
at my feet.
You're gonna be here a bit longer.
We're gonna complete some paperwork
and you're gonna be charged with
first-degree murder.
What... First..?
First degree murder, OK?
What? What am I getting charged
with first-degree murder for?
We can't talk to you, so...
What?
When I realised it was real, Sam,
was when they stripped me
of all my clothes.
They took all my clothes
and then they took pictures
and all that other stuff and man,
I was just like...
I thought it was over.
I was like, "Man, my whole life
is going down the drain, now."
It's been two weeks and, you know,
we don't get all the information
and all the discovery as of yet.
They just give us a body
and they just give us sort of like,
"This is why he was arrested
"and this is what he was arrested
for."
So there's not a lot of information
that's coming there right now
but the only thing that we know
is that
they're saying DNA
puts our guy there.
Mr Resiles becomes the suspect
because his DNA is found
on two items.
One is a knife that's found
on the front porch
and ironically,
I believe the knife was matched to
a knife collection
that the son had in his bedroom.
And the other is a green belt
that's found just inside
the front door on a rug there.
Mr Resiles' DNA profile
was in the system
from an earlier case that he'd had
and of course when they linked it up
with him,
they went and arrested him.
It's not a lot of DNA that you would
expect in a murder case
to be there
especially one that is so bloody
and gruesome
and seems like someone that was
still able to fight back
and things like that.
It was very minimal DNA,
but that's the strongest evidence
against Dayonte that they have.
MAN:So on September 7th of 2014,
Nan-Yao Su and his wife,
Jill Halliburton,
came back from Malaysia
after being there for two weeks.
On that day, their son, Justin Su,
picked them up from the airport
about 4.15, 4.30 in the afternoon
and drove them back home.
You know, they were up most of the
night because they were jet-lagged
and Justin stated that he didn't go
to bed until about two o'clock
and his parents were still up
because of the jet-lag.
Justin had to go to work. He was
working at Broward Community College
which was directly across the street
from where his father was working
at the University of Florida,
Davie Campus.
So he leaves the house about 9.45
and the video camera pictures
from the guard gate
has him leaving at that time.
Nan-Yao, at some point
in the morning,
decides that he wants to go to work.
He gets up, he then leaves for work
sometime around 11.30.
His work is eight or nine miles away
at the University of Florida.
When he gets to the office,
sometime about 45 minutes
into his job,
he claims that he went on the
computer to the drop-cam access
just to look and see
what was going on in the house.
At that time, I saw...
(INDISTINCT)
..and I saw this figure
with white towel type of thing
covering his face.
My memory is probably not very good
because it's just a glimpse of them.
And he wear something white
like his shirt.
Jeans, or some colour darker pants.
Pants or shorts?
I don't think so. I don't know.
It's hard to see. I can't tell.
It was very, very quickly
that happened.
He walked, kind of looking down,
he walked over to the TV camera
and the next thing I know,
the TV camera is covered.
Nan-Yao had ordered this camera
14 days prior
and there was a 14-day trial period.
During that time frame,
he was allowed to capture
any images into a cloud
that happened, that was captured
on the camera.
So on that day, when he gets back
on the 7th,
the 14-day grace period had expired.
So he's not seeing a tape delay,
he's not seeing anything like that.
He's looking live.
The person who, you said a male,
or whatever you did.
Could you tell if it was a male
or female?
I think it was a male.
OK.
Rather skinny.OK.
How old did this male look?
Twentyish.
OK.It doesn't look like very old
to me.OK.
I can't see the face
so I can't tell,
but from the body language,
he's not struggling.
You know, the moving body
is rather smooth.
Could you tell a white male,
black male, or...
Looks like white to me.
OK.
CHAMBERS:The father then proceeds
to call the son
and asks the son, "Hey, are you
playing around with the camera?"
The son says, "No, I'm not playing
around with the camera."
He says, "I saw someone in the home.
"Can you go home
and check on your mom?"
I walk into my garage,
take off my shoes.
And I look in my room
and there's a drawer in my room
with a bunch of knives. I collect
like a bunch of knives and stuff.
That was open and I'm like,
"That's weird." Like...
And then I get to the living room
and I look left
and I see that there's... The
camera's been literally ripped out.
It's not even there anymore.
And then I hear the water running
and I walk into my parents' room
and I see her.
She's in the tub, water's flowing.
Her face is in the water.
My first thought is I thought
she'd committed suicide
cos I see there's a lot of blood.
And I just I remember I dragged her
out
and I started freaking out.
And I tried giving her...
Tried pushing her to start.
Just listening for her breath.
And just like putting breath into
her lungs
but she just tasted like blood.
MacVEIGH:Law enforcement get there
and they start their canvass
to the neighbourhood.
And they find a lady across
the street, Betty,
who states that sometime around
12.03, 12.05,
she says that she just sees
a door close.
It appears that there is a crime
scene that occurred in the foyer
next to the front door
because law enforcement
from the crime scene photos,
you can see blood droplets
out there, OK?
So that clearly means that somebody
would have had to stab her
and she'd been stabbed
approximately 13 times.
He then picked her up
and put her in the tub
and filled it up with water.
The first impression of the police
when they arrived at the house
and they saw the body,
they said this had to be
a murder of passion.
Like someone, whoever did this,
knew this woman.
This was a rage-style murder.
If you're seeing 20, 30 attacks,
particularly if occurring to the
torso, neck, other sensitive areas,
that indicates the person kept
stabbing
beyond what was absolutely
necessary
for that crime to have been
committed.
And that can indicate again
an emotional closeness.
There's some sort of
emotional investment.
The person's angry at the victim.
POLICE INTERVIEWER:
I wish I could tell you
you know, every single specific
thing
but there's just some things we have
to keep close to the chest.
But I mean it's just the whole
house, the way it's laid out,
it doesn't seem like... I mean,
we've worked robbery for many years.
It doesn't seem like a home invasion
robbery.
CHAMBERS:'The police are saying
that the point of entry
'where the perpetrator
may have come through,
'no-one possible could have
came through that way.
'If they did break in'
in that door, the first thing
the perp would have did
was open the back window.
He would have unlocked
the sliding door
so that he had a way to get out.
MACVEIGH:The detectives confirmed
that all the doors were locked.
If you're a burglar and you're going
into the house,
at what point
after you've killed this lady
do you then go back out
and then relock the house?
Because there would be a key
missing.
And then the whole thing about
this case is,
there's nothing missing from the
house. Nothing's been stolen.
Nothing! Nothing taken!
There was an iPad,
there was a Mac Book,
there was a laptop,
there was iPhones...
Nothing was taken.
Nothing!
So either the person who came there
just came to kill that woman
or they came there and they tried
to commit a burglary
but they left everything
that they got behind!
And just did this!
It just... That's not an M.O
of somebody who burglarises homes.
MAN: So what ended up happening was
police questioned the son.
And they questioned the father.
And when they questioned
both of them,
each of them,
they had a preconceived notion
that one or both of them
was responsible for the death
of Jill Halliburton Su.
OFFICER:Let me ask you this. There
seems to be a lot of guilt there
as when he talks about his mom,
he says that she was ashamed of him.
Why does he say that?
Well, because of...
He didn't make too good
with his grade.
Even, you know, make through
the two years in session.
Hmm.He basically drop out.
And my wife, having a professor
like me as a husband,
probably expect a lot from him.
Maybe he always feel pressure that
he have to, you know, perform.
He didn't. He couldn't.
Can I speak with you one more thing?
I kinda forgot earlier.
Sure.
So when we are gone...in Malaysia,
my wife told me
that she saw, happened to see
on live on the camera
in our dining room, by the camera,
that my son obviously sneak out
the front of the sliding door,
from here and come back
from the other door
from our bedroom where she have
little... (INDISTINCT) ..on there.
And then she cover her face.
He cover his face.
My son cover his face.
And then next thing you know he put
the towel on top of the camera.
That was why you...
(INDISTINCT)
So I know that is the reason why
initially I suspect this person
I saw in the mask may be him
because he's trying to pull a prank
on me.
Why would he say that?
Have you ever done that?
JUSTIN: I've thrown shit like
over the camera.
Have you ever put something around
your face...No, no, I haven't.
And your mom saw it and said,
"Oh, you're silly" or whatever?
No.
Sure about that?Yeah.
Put something on my face, cover up
my face?Are you sure about that?
Yeah.That both your parents thought
it was funny at the time
but it wasn't and they told you
not to do it again?
What, put something over the...
Over your face.
Over my face, no.
You never wore anything over your
face? A mask or anything like that?
And like scare the camera
or something like that? No.
NAN-YAO: Well, when we were
in Malaysia, he did that.
So my wife was kind of telling him
that, "Did you do this?
"In front of the camera and come up
and cover your face
"in front of this one here?"
And he say, "Yeah." So the three
of us were laughing
because he was so busted
on the other one.
We were just laughing at that.
'And we would do this, no way to
secure him
'because both of them being
unplugged,
'you say that they know this
camera.'
'Let me ask you, who knows where the
security camera is?''My son.'
Boom!
"Who knows where
the security camera is?" "My son."
And so when they questioned him
for hours and hours and hours,
they made it clear
that they believed Justin Su
was a suspect.
They thought, "Mom is dead.
"Dad is gone. Son finds the body.
"He's your killer, Su."
Why the fuck are you screaming?
I'm... I can't even...
Sit the fuck down.
Man, I've been in this room
way too long, man.
Yeah. OK, listen.
A lot of the stuff
that we talked about earlier,
and the stuff you told us,
it doesn't make sense.
What do you mean?
Are you saying that I did it?
Yeah.
Holy crap!
Oh, my...
No, I didn't! I would never...
I would never do that, dude!
That's bullshit.
Oh, my God!
"Oh, my God" what?
What's so hard to believe?
That I did that?! That I would break
into my home?
Nobody broke into that fucking home.
Stop playing this fucking game.
God! Are you serious?!Know how long
we've been doing this fucking job?
A long time!
It's horrible that you would even
think that I would fucking do it!
I'm sorry, but I...You're sorry?
I'm gonna go fuck...
You're not gonna go nowhere.
Dude, I didn't do it!
Your dad tells you there's somebody
inside your house
he sees on the camera.Yeah.
Your first thought is to go home...
Yeah!Shut up for a minute!
Your first thought is to take off
your shoes and go in your bedroom?
Yeah! Why? What's wrong with that?
I was gonna check it out.
I had a knife in my hand.What knife
did you have in your hand?
What?What knife...
I had a pocket knife.Which one?
The one from my car.
What does it look like?
It was just in my pocket, dude.
Where is it now?
It's in my car, still.
I put it back in my car.
What's it look like?
It's black.
So you put that back in your car
before the cops got there?
No!You said you had a knife
in your hand.
Fuck! You guys are putting shit in
my head now.You're saying it, man!
When did you have an opportunity
to go to your car?
When I was in my car, I dropped it.
What?
When did you have an opportunity
to go to your car?
When I got out of the car.
When did you... I'll ask again.
You're a smart guy.
I'm not trying to insult you...
That thing with the knife I made up
cos when you told me, "Why would you
go in the house?" I defended myself.
You made it up?Yeah.
That's a problem.
Sorry.
Don't do that again.
I just told you... I just told you
you're not making sense
and your stories
are all over the place
and you're sitting here now telling
me you made that up
about going back in your car?
Yeah.
That's the only thing I lied about.
I'm sorry.
You said you were in BC, right?
Yeah.
In the library.Yeah.
Why?
Oh, I'm just making sure.
So you don't tell me tomorrow
or later on today,
"Oh, yeah. I forgot to say I wasn't
really at the library."
Check the... Check the... Check
the garage, man. I was there...
I don't need to check the fucking
garage. I don't need to check.
Why not?Because you said you were
in the library.
So? What's wrong with that?
What if you're not in the library?
Then where were you?
In my car.
What were you doing in your car?
Sleeping.
So I'm gonna ask you
the same question again,
so you don't fuck this up.
Be honest with me. Did you stay
in your car sleeping
or did you go to the library?
I'm sorry I said that, too.
You fucking lied about that, too.
Because I don't want to sound like
a...asshole.
That's two lies.
I'll just point out two.
That's two lies that he...
I mean, why... Why...
My thing is, why would you even have
to lie if you didn't do anything?
If the only thing you did
was come home
and you found your mom deceased,
why would you lie about anything?
NAN-YAO: Was she stabbed repeatedly?
Many times?
Viciously?Hmm.
She was, multiple times.
Indicating that it's more like
emotional charge type of rage kill
type of thing, do you think?
I would think so.
Why... Why he tie her up?
Why he tie her up? It's his mom!
He don't have to tie her up.
You grabbed your mom, you pulled her
out of the tub, right?
So that you would have had blood
on your hands then, right?
You didn't put any gloves on
when you pulled your mom out of
the tub. You didn't have time.
While you walked through the house,
you have touched the sliding door
which means you would have blood
on the sliding door handle
of your mom's.
Yes.
And you would have blood on the lock
of the front door of your mom's.
I agree with you. That should...
That should be there.
Right. And if there isn't,
what does that mean?
That none of those things happened,
I guess. I don't know.
NAN-YAO: And, you know,
that's the reason why
we want to talk to somebody.
I need the lawyer's representation.
OK.I'm trying to be very
cooperative.
And you have been.
I wouldn't say that you haven't.
But since my son is still my son,
I would accept the truth
that he did it
but before that, we need to make
sure that everything is done fair.
OK. Everything, first of all,
is being done fair, OK?
Um, we're not trying to trick
anybody or anything like that.
OK? And you just said that
if he did it, you would accept it,
is that what you said?
If it's truth.
If the truth comes out that he did
it, I totally accept that.
If I found out that I was wrong,
I'd seriously consider
a career change.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
No, I... Someone's trying
to frame me, man!
Are you saying someone's trying
to frame you?
The only one that's capable
of framing you is your dad.
Would your dad frame you?
CHAMBERS:'You can't lie
to the police of Broward County
'on a murder charge.
'You can't lie.
'Ask some of the people who are
down there at the main jail
'can you lie about a homicide
and get out saying nothing.
'No. Any time you lie about anything
in a homicide,
'your ass will sit.'
'With them releasing the dad,
I understand that.
'And I get that,
because like I said,
'all his alibis and everything
was trunk tight.'
But with them releasing Justin,
based on the fact that he lied
to them multiple times
and he had been released,
I don't know if they had enough
to charge him
but he at least should have spent
the night in jail.
If we arrested people
on suspicion alone,
there'd be a lot of people arrested!
And a lot of people wrongfully
arrested
because obviously you suspect
a lot of different people.
But the police have to engage in
an investigation.
Until they have material evidence
that tends to provide probable cause
that someone committed a crime,
you can't arrest somebody.
You can't arrest somebody because
they told you they were at work
and then admitted that they were
sleeping.
WOMAN:'Justin was a kid who was
under kind of strained circumstances
'from his parents.
'He went to college for two years.
'Because he flunked out,
his parents made him come home.
'He'd only been home for a couple
of months at the time,
'so clearly he's kind of
on probation with his parents.'
And I can only imagine the dichotomy
of that
with a dad whose whole life
is academics.
'Dr Su is obviously
a very decorated professor
'and he's very well regarded
in his profession.
And the fact that Justin struggles
a little bit at school,
I mean, I can understand the dynamic
of the relationship.
It definitely seemed, I think,
from both the father and son
that there was tension
in that relationship.
'You can see that on one hand his
father acquiesced fairly quickly
'to the idea that he might have been
the perpetrator.
'And, you know, when Justin lied,
'it's possible this may have been
motivated by fear of his father'
but it would have to be really,
really significant for him
to think that lying to investigators
was the better choice
than simply accepting whatever
disagreement with his father
might have resulted.
MAN:Justin had a lot knives
because he was very into fishing,
which is a common thing in Florida.
A lot of people are into fishing
and a lot of them have
a lot of knives.
But Justin also had,
according to police,
a bit of a heavy drug usage habit.
And he was using
something called dab,
which is apparently 80% THC.
Now, anything above 20% THC
is considered high.
And that's not exactly trivial
when you're looking at
what happened with his mother.
Justin and his mother had always
been very tight, very close.
But sometimes, it's those
relationships that are closest to us
that cause the most extreme
reactions.
There had been more tension in their
relationship since he'd come home.
Had there been an argument
had there been an escalation
in that tension?
We don't know.
'Both Dr Su and the son were
questioned by police,
'and neither have been considered
suspects. However...'
I don't wanna say anybody's
been ruled out
or is a suspect. At this time,
this is a very active investigation
'When you have a lot of money
'there are lots of different
potential motives.
'Did she just recently inherit?
Her father died about a year ago,
'that could mean she came into a lot
of money recently.
'Who gains money when you die?
'Your heirs. Did she have a will?
'Did she promise in that will to
give lots of money
'to one of these foundations
that she volunteers for?
'You gotta think about
that question.'
'The deceased is an heir
to the Halliburton fortune,
so the Halliburton company made
millions if not billions of dollars
off the Afghan and Iraqi war.
If you recall George Bush gave that
company all kinds of work
supplying munitions,
supplies and everything
and they were no-bid contracts.
Cos it was "an emergency".
So, um...
This is a high profile case.
It's like, "We gotta find somebody."
There's a lot of pressure
on the police to solve this crime.
As soon as they're saying someone
burglarised their home,
and they killed their mom,
so the first thing the cops are
gonna do
is they'll start looking at all
the burglaries that happened
in probably a two or one-mile
radius of that actual place.
And they're gonna start trying
to find suspects.
And I think what they did is
they just found a suspect.
What happens, seven days later,
they process the scene for DNA,
and lo and behold, they find a knife
that was on the front porch.
They do the DNA, and lo and behold,
there's a hit on Dayonte Resiles.
Oh, I feel like my whole body
go down cos that's my poor son.
I don't have nobody else.
That was my oldest son.
He was the one I was depending on.
He said that, um,
he said that he just felt weak.
You know, Dayonte is his first born
and that's all, he's depending
on his being the oldest
so he kind of depended on Dayonte
a lot.
He said, um, it's very emotional
for him.
I think, you know, seeing Dayonte
in the position that he is,
and being a father and knowing that
he's helpless right now
and that he can't do anything
to help his son
and that he can't hold his son.
You know, so I think it's...
I think it's very like he's very
emotional about it, you know, yeah.
It's OK, Daddy.
So what's hard for me
is that we have...
Pains me to say it, but we have
a black young man in jail
for a crime that the husband said he
saw on video tape was a white guy!
He clearly states it!
My job as a prosecutor
is to do what is just.
Not to prosecute
any particular person.
When justice demands that a
particular person be prosecuted
because all the evidence points
to that person,
then that's what we do.
But if the evidence had pointed
somewhere else,
we would have followed it
and that's why I looked at as much
stuff as I could possibly look at
to ensure that we were
on the right path, and we were.
I guess their theory is that
when he saw her there he decided to
kill her
so he wouldn't get caught.
It's what I'm guessing
they're gonna go forward with.
But it's very different from what
we've seen from Dayonte's past.
He doesn't have violent offences
like this
where he's ever hurt someone,
stabbed someone.
He's a burglar. He is somebody
who breaks into homes,
steals and leaves.
He does not hurt people,
he does not kill people,
he does not maim people.
There's no way he did that.
No way.
I've never had a problem
out of Dayonte.
Fighting, all that, no.
He was a good child.
A loving, caring child.
Always wanting to do something
to help somebody.
"I'll clean up this.
I'll help you with that."
"You want me to cook?"
"You don't know how to cook!"
"I'll learn!"
He was Moochie. Ask questions.
He wanted to know everything,
so he had plenty of questions.
He got a outbursting personality.
He could be the life of the party,
the centre of attention.
'I always felt like
I was independent.
'I didn't wanna depend on my momma,'
so when I was like 11 years old,
I would sell the avocados.
We had avocados in the back of the
house. I would sell avocados.
Or mangoes. And then
I learned about selling candy.
I started selling candy and then
from candy I went to washing cars.
And from washing cars
I went to cutting grass.
He wanted to be a singer. He went
from singing to cooking.
From cooking to landscaping.
From landscaping,
he took a trade at Automoto.
Me and him are about the same age.
He used to come up here when he
could have been 13, 14 years old
and he used to always ask my dad
for a job,
but we were always busy staffed
and we had a lot of workers
so my dad would tell him,
you know what I mean, sweep up,
help clean up, help the guys
get the shop opened up
and he started doing that
and he would come here every morning
just to open up, make a little extra
money.
He just wanted to work,
he just wanted opportunity
and my dad ended up liking him
as a kid because he worked hard.
We spoke all the time as far as what
are you gonna do with your life,
you have to work hard, go to school,
things like that,
so we kept that kind of conversation
with him
because to me, the kid seemed like
he was college material.
I used to tell him back in the day,
you're such a smart kid,
you might be the next president!
DAYONTE: If you go now where
the cheesecake factory is,
keep going as if you're going
towards the beach,
they have a lot of big mansions,
a lot of big houses and stuff,
that's where I used to go and sell
candy when I was little,
cos, you know, I've always been
infatuated with like luxury of life
and having a big house,
nice cars and stuff, whatever,
so I used to go over there
even when I wasn't selling candy,
I'd go over there and I had
the motivation and determination
to like become better
and get richer in time.
And like the happy families,
I wanted that happy family because
it was just crazy, like.
You'd just see a bunch of kids
around
and they're enjoying life,
they're skateboarding,
and they're like there with their
family
and everybody's smiling,
they're happy,
but when you come back to your
reality, your home or whatever,
everybody's depressed or stressed,
thinking about the bills,
or kids hungry and stuff,
it was depressing,
so I always used to like try
to escape my reality
and go to my fantasy,
and so I used to go down
and I'd just walk on the beach
and just see different things.
NEAL:It tends to be
in south Florida
you're either comfortable
or really have it,
or you're scraping, just getting by.
There's not a lot
of this mushball middle
where you're kinda comfortable
but you're not really scraping.
You're not worried.
Moochie used to be here a lot, man.
He was coming up. He was just
a little boy, coming up right here.
This is one of the best
neighbourhoods,
gonna go up the road a little bit.
(CHILD GIGGLES)
Go to the side a little bit.
Hi!
(THEY LAUGH)
Alright. That's one of the kids.
I mean...
The kids round here, they want their
minute of fame and fortune!
Hey.
Look what we got, you know,
in the hood, you know?
All our cars beat up, don't work.
We gotta push 'em, we gotta walk,
we gotta catch the bus.
Hey.
You try to get money
the best way you can.
But it's a struggle for survival
round here, man.
It's not like everybody got the same
opportunity, you know?
Some make it, some don't, you know?
We still living with ACs
in the window right here.
DAYONTE: 'On 3rd Ave, you had
the park that we stayed at.
'It wasn't all that bad, but the
other side on 3rd Ave and 13th,
'that was bad,
'so my mom always used to tell us
we couldn't go there a lot
'or whatever cos it's too bad,
it's too much.
'Drug-selling, people dying,
'prostitutes, a lot of stuff bad.
'I was with my homie and I was gonna
go to the store
'that my mom usually have us go to
'but he convinced me to go down
the street to the other store.
'That's the day when life had this
change for me
'because I went down the street'
and I seen all these girls outside.
Beautiful women, booty everywhere.
I see all kind of like the lure of
the fast lane.
I seen big cars with big rims.
People with a lot of money
and all that other stuff.
CHAMBERS:If you grow up and
everybody's going to school
and everybody's eating lunch
and everybody has the same
opportunities, yeah, you learn them.
But if you come up and you see
everybody breaking into houses
and everybody is, you know,
robbing and stealing,
doing everything to get ahead,
for the newest clothes
and the newest outfit,
and you see that as a kid
and that's your surroundings,
that's what you grow up doing.
It's part of the process.
When you don't have nothing better
else to do
and you're looking at your
situation, it kinda make you feel
like you need to do something,
you know?
And unfortunately when you think
about doing something,
the quickest way to do something is
to do something wrong.
Because wrong is right there, every
day, in front of you, you know?
And wrong can make you money
in this country.
MOTHER:He got arrested for B&E.
Him and some other boys.
They sent him off to
Dozier School for Boys
that was a level six eight.
You could be in there
from six months to eight months.
And he was going good when he got
out of the program
to be honest with you.
It's just... He got out here
and continued hanging
with the wrong people.
I see a little bit of myself in him,
when I talk to him,
when I was younger.
And how that anger and that feel
like you're being cheated
because you're not getting
a proper childhood
that a normal child gets.
And so that can be one of two ways.
You can get angry or you can do
something about it.
I think Dayonte was in the middle
with that.
He would buy turkeys and stuff
like that
and give them to single mothers
and things like that.
So he was kind of like
a neighbourhood hero.
Especially when
you're from a community
that's downtrodden and poor.
MOTHER:When I went to set up
an account,
I bumped into some lady.
She said he helped pay
her light bill, $407.
And her own grandkids wouldn't even
help her pay her light bill.
And she said, "Your son paid this
for me."
DAYONTE: 'I've been in here since
she was born.
'She brung her to visitation and
just seeing her on the screen,'
she had her tongue all out.
She had her tongue out
but just looking at her,
she's the spitting image of me,
she's just like me and seeing her
just staring or whatever.
Cos I remember the first time
when I found that she had the baby.
And then I tried to get in touch
with her
and when I like, I heard her cry,
I broke down crying myself.
I broke down crying.
That's the...
That's the first time...
I believe that was, no, that was
my second time that I cried
after being in jail and that was
the last time I cried.
But she just...
She just brought me joy.
You know the feeling that you get
when you bring your first child
and you bring your first child
in the world.
But me and her like we never had
the connection,
I got to see her, hold her, kiss her
or spend time with her, whatever.
It's kinda hard being in here
but I'll have my time soon.
DOMINGUEZ:The state had the chance
to file it as a regular murder case
where he would have been facing just
a life sentence.
Or they could charge it
as a death penalty case
which they decided to do.
And so for Dayonte, it looks like
they're saying
that the way that the woman died
'was so heinous, atrocious and cruel
'that it merits the death penalty
from their point of view.'
SCHNEIDER:The most significant
reason
for the committee to decide
that this was a case
in which seeking
the death penalty is appropriate
was the fact that Mrs Su
was in her own home,
that she was tied up,
that she was alive
for some period of time
after being tied up,
that she was placed in a bathtub
and that then she was brutally
stabbed so many times.
You've got to think about
the terror.
And if we don't do our job,
the best that we can,
he's gonna die.
He's gonna be killed
by the state of Florida.
That weighs very heavy on us.
It's just, you know,
to be facing something that
he's facing, which is death,
um, with the lack of evidence
that there is,
it's just almost impossible
to believe that.
Why the guy was even arrested
in the first place for a murder.
But this is Broward County, so...
Within the last hour or so,
the Broward County sheriff's
crime lab
announced that it's no longer going
to do some DNA analysis,
a cornerstone of its operation
as the lab faces losing
its accreditation.
NBC 6 investigator Tony Pipitone
has been following the science here
and joins us live in the newsroom
with more on this. Tony?
The experts who give the lab
its accreditation
found errors in how it analysed DNA,
mistakes that lawyers say
could implicate innocent people.
That's why the lab just now has
agreed to stop doing some DNA tests
and will have to pay another lab
to do them.
All this while it fights to keep
its accreditation.
Defence attorney Monique Brochu
knew last year something was not
right with DNA evidence
coming from Broward's crime lab.
It was the only physical evidence
helping place her client,
Javon Gibson, at the scene
of an April 2010 murder.
So Brochu brought in DNA expert
Tiffany Roy
who found the Broward Sheriff's
crime lab
was misinterpreting DNA evidence,
an accusation confirmed by a board
that determines how crime labs
should operate.
The very first case that I ever
consulted on
for a defence attorney
was a Broward County case.
And it was done completely wrong.
The case had a profile that I would
consider to be unreliable.
It was too limited information,
too unreliable information
but Broward County went ahead
and made an association with it,
matched it to a defendant.
And I didn't know how they could do
that with this limited data.
You're supposed to look at
the sample independently
of anything else.
You're supposed to make
a determination
if that sample that you have,
that partial sample
is enough to go forward
with a match.
OK? But you're supposed to look at
independently of anything else.
What was happening
in the BSO crime lab
is they were taking the mixed
samples,
they were extrapolating them out,
realising we have three partial
samples of three people.
Now, when they realised
they couldn't go forward,
they were supposed to stop, but
instead of stopping at that point
what they were doing was taking
the known samples
the people that
they "wanted it to be", OK?
And they were saying, "Oh, look,
here's Monique's client.
And Monique's client and this one,
we kind of match it and it's kinda
matchy-matchy.
OK, we'll do that one.
And this one, OK, this is another
guy, and it's kinda good.
And it kinda matches here and there.
OK, we'll do that one.
So it was like they were playing
a game.
Instead of doing what they were
supposed to do independently,
they were trying to match it up
with the known samples.
The lab's accreditating agency board
agreed the lab is making mistakes
using portions of DNA so miniscule
they should have been disregarded
and being biased,
considering the DNA of a suspect
before deciding what portions of DNA
recovered from evidence
would be used to connect them
to the crime.
NEW SPEAKER:We all work for
someone. Somebody pays our bills
and we're influenced by that,
no question.
Some of the crime labs are paid
by the state police.
Some of them wear badges in the lab.
Do they have a special relationship
with the police,
with law enforcement?
Of course they do!
Most people who work in labs get all
the information about the case.
They have emails sometimes
from prosecutors
and the emails are like,
"We really gotta get this guy."
Does that have an effect
on the science? Yes.
Cognitive bias is real,
it's well-established.
And a great example of this
is a study by the National Institute
of Standards and Technology,
2013.
They gave the same mixture of data
to 109 crime labs
and they asked is Suspect A, B, C,
are they included in this ski mask
from a bank robbery?
But they created the data so that
for Suspect C it was really hard
to tell whether C was included
or not.
76 of 109 North American crime labs
said Suspect C is included.
Suspect C was not included
by the National Institute
of Standards and Technology.
It was a distracter.
It was a tough problem to see when
labs would say, "It's inconclusive."
And instead, 76 labs said
this person is included.
That doesn't mean we don't trust
the DNA.
I think DNA is very helpful if it
shows someone didn't commit a crime.
But to convict, we require a jury
to find beyond a reasonable doubt.
And that's a super-high standard.
I would hope that if all the other
evidence conflicts with the DNA,
you might not want to trust the DNA!
The way that DNA has been portrayed
in film, on TV and movies,
is that if you've got someone's DNA,
you're able to identify them.
It's an open and shut case.
The reality is, it's far more
complicated than just open and shut.
I'm old enough to be embarrassed
about some of the things
we used to believe about DNA.
We used to testify to a high degree
of scientific certainty
without having calculated
the certainty.
Because I was taught, as the FBI
taught people, to testify that way.
To say, "I am sure in my results
"to a high degree
of scientific certainty."
And then somebody said, "That's
actually a mathematical calculation.
"Did you do that?"
Because if we say Greg Hampikian
could have contributed the DNA,
we want to know who else could have
contributed?
How many other people?
DNA evidence cannot say
that you are in fact a match.
It can say that you are
a likelier match
within a reasonable likelihood
of multiples and multiples
of the tens of thousands.
There's no exact 100% match.
But the media has already convinced
a lot of folks
that DNA, if you have it,
then you've proved it.
But it's a lot more complex.
This calculation was part of
my complaint that I filed
against Broward initially
because they weren't using this
right.
And their accrediting body agreed
with my assessment, basically
and found that there were problems
with the way they were interpreting
these low-level mixed profiles
and assigning weights to them
for statistical purposes.
This is a case that would be
affected by that.
It's very likely that individuals
have gone through this system
on faulty evidence
and ultimately have been convicted
based on poor evidence.
So we're optimistic that this might
benefit Mr Resiles' case
because as I think I indicated
to you earlier,
it appears that the only link
at this point in time
to Mr Resiles to that crime scene
is some DNA that was on two items
that were found at the crime scene.
We're taking depositions now
with the people that collected
the DNA samples first
before we get to the people that
analysed it
so we get an idea of how it was
collected,
what was done with it before it got
to the lab, those kind of things.
This is a death penalty state.
You know, we execute people here.
And it absolutely needs to be done
right
and nowhere is it more important
than in states that do that.
DAYONTE: 'Every day, Sam,
I promise you, every day,
'I'm always planning, strategising
'of how I can make the best
of every situation
'and how to alter and change
'everything in life
to make it better.
'I'm driven to it, but it's hard'
knowing that when you're confined in
some freaking jail 23 hours a day
and these people treat you
like shit.
It's hard, it's hard.
I'm like, Sam, if you know
like I told you
this place acted like it was
a concentration camp for me.
'The stuff that they do to mentally
torture you
'emotionally and all that,
spiritually,
'they did, everybody did
what they possibly could,
'but I still remain unbroken.
'The only thing they haven't done
yet is kill me.
'I'm tired, now. I'm tired.'
Well, he wouldn't be
the first person,
the first person charged with
a serious crime
to feel that the system moves
too slow.
But as I explain to my clients,
"If you wanna move it fast,
go in and plead guilty.
"Otherwise, let your attorneys have
sufficient time to prepare
"these cases.
There's a lot of evidence,
"there's a lot of depositions
to be taken,
"there's various pre-trial motions
to be filed.
"And remember, you get about...
You get one trial!"
And then it's just a matter
of logistics.
I've got, at this point in time,
I've got half a dozen murder cases.
So I've got to work on all those
at the same time.
I'm in trial on other murder cases
that pre-date Mr Resiles' case,
so that takes me away from prep time
here.
There's nothing to be served
in a case of this magnitude
by rushing to trial.
And life brings you to that point
of depression or when you're sad
or depressed or anything,
you just look at it, you have
the power to change it.
In your mind, you have the strength
to change anything
that's wrong in life
and that you don't like
or that have you depressed
or anything.
You have the power to change it.
And then it's the same if somebody
tries to come and bring harm to you
or harm to your family,
you have to defend yourself.
You have to fight,
you have to stand firm.
You can't let nobody bat you down
because if you allow somebody
to bat you down, you lose.
But when you stand firm and fight,
that's when people back off.
What, what, what just happened?!
21-year-old Dayonte Resiles
had been in jail
for almost 22 months.
He went to the courthouse
this morning
for a hearing on whether he could
someday face the death penalty.
It's now been more than 14 hours
since the murder suspect managed to
make a mad dash from that hearing.
NBC 6 continues to cover all angles
of this manhunt.
SWAT teams went to work searching
for Resiles, but it was too late.
The Broward Sheriff's Office says
that this a violent criminal.
He is armed and dangerous.
If you see him,
call police immediately.

MUSIC: Deep Movement by DJ Tools
'This morning, a murder mystery
in a quiet, gated community.
'Jill Halliburton Su
found dead in her bathtub.'
'Jill Su is related to
the Halliburton oil empire.
'Her great uncle
founded the company.'
'Police say her husband, Dr Nan-Yao
Su, was at work Monday morning
'and told them when he couldn't see
his home surveillance cameras
'on his computer, he called his
oldest son to check on the house.'
'An autopsy now confirms the woman
was murdered
'but how and why is still unclear.'
By all accounts, all seemed normal
before this incident.
The victim had just gotten back
from a vacation to Malaysia.
This morning, police say they don't
have a suspect or person of interest
and they certainly haven't revealed
any possible motive for this murder.
At this time, this is a very active
investigation.
'We did find a door
that was broken.'
'Suggesting the house could have
been broken into.
'A room reportedly ransacked.
'Police are now canvassing
that gated neighbourhood,
even diving into nearby canals.
Police make an arrest
in the death of a woman
whose body was found last week
inside a gated community in Davie.
And the suspect just 20 years old.
Police say he may have gotten
spooked while trying to rob her.
'His name is Dayonte Resiles.
'He's being booked into the
Broward county jail as we speak.
'Investigators say it appears
Resiles
'was burglarising the home and
didn't think anyone was inside.'
'Detectives say he has a history
of breaking into high-end homes.
'Why he chose the Sus' residence
is still unclear.
'Cops don't know of any connection
between him and the family.
'They're trying to figure out how he
got into the gated neighbourhood
'and got away undetected.
'Detectives won't say what led them
to Resiles
'but sources tell Local 10 it was
forensic evidence
'discovered at the murder scene.'
His DNA was present
and it was unexplainable.
The police had no idea -
the Davie police department - had no
idea who Dayonte Resiles was.
They had no reason to suspect him,
in fact, they didn't suspect him
until his DNA popped up
at the scene.
I didn't believe, I didn't think it
was real, you know?
I thought I was sleeping.
When I was in
the investigation room,
I'm biting inside my mouth because
I'm feeling, "This is not real."
And they told me what's what.
And they told me what I've been
charged with.
So my whole life just fell
at my feet.
You're gonna be here a bit longer.
We're gonna complete some paperwork
and you're gonna be charged with
first-degree murder.
What... First..?
First degree murder, OK?
What? What am I getting charged
with first-degree murder for?
We can't talk to you, so...
What?
When I realised it was real, Sam,
was when they stripped me
of all my clothes.
They took all my clothes
and then they took pictures
and all that other stuff and man,
I was just like...
I thought it was over.
I was like, "Man, my whole life
is going down the drain, now."
It's been two weeks and, you know,
we don't get all the information
and all the discovery as of yet.
They just give us a body
and they just give us sort of like,
"This is why he was arrested
"and this is what he was arrested
for."
So there's not a lot of information
that's coming there right now
but the only thing that we know
is that
they're saying DNA
puts our guy there.
Mr Resiles becomes the suspect
because his DNA is found
on two items.
One is a knife that's found
on the front porch
and ironically,
I believe the knife was matched to
a knife collection
that the son had in his bedroom.
And the other is a green belt
that's found just inside
the front door on a rug there.
Mr Resiles' DNA profile
was in the system
from an earlier case that he'd had
and of course when they linked it up
with him,
they went and arrested him.
It's not a lot of DNA that you would
expect in a murder case
to be there
especially one that is so bloody
and gruesome
and seems like someone that was
still able to fight back
and things like that.
It was very minimal DNA,
but that's the strongest evidence
against Dayonte that they have.
MAN:So on September 7th of 2014,
Nan-Yao Su and his wife,
Jill Halliburton,
came back from Malaysia
after being there for two weeks.
On that day, their son, Justin Su,
picked them up from the airport
about 4.15, 4.30 in the afternoon
and drove them back home.
You know, they were up most of the
night because they were jet-lagged
and Justin stated that he didn't go
to bed until about two o'clock
and his parents were still up
because of the jet-lag.
Justin had to go to work. He was
working at Broward Community College
which was directly across the street
from where his father was working
at the University of Florida,
Davie Campus.
So he leaves the house about 9.45
and the video camera pictures
from the guard gate
has him leaving at that time.
Nan-Yao, at some point
in the morning,
decides that he wants to go to work.
He gets up, he then leaves for work
sometime around 11.30.
His work is eight or nine miles away
at the University of Florida.
When he gets to the office,
sometime about 45 minutes
into his job,
he claims that he went on the
computer to the drop-cam access
just to look and see
what was going on in the house.
At that time, I saw...
(INDISTINCT)
..and I saw this figure
with white towel type of thing
covering his face.
My memory is probably not very good
because it's just a glimpse of them.
And he wear something white
like his shirt.
Jeans, or some colour darker pants.
Pants or shorts?
I don't think so. I don't know.
It's hard to see. I can't tell.
It was very, very quickly
that happened.
He walked, kind of looking down,
he walked over to the TV camera
and the next thing I know,
the TV camera is covered.
Nan-Yao had ordered this camera
14 days prior
and there was a 14-day trial period.
During that time frame,
he was allowed to capture
any images into a cloud
that happened, that was captured
on the camera.
So on that day, when he gets back
on the 7th,
the 14-day grace period had expired.
So he's not seeing a tape delay,
he's not seeing anything like that.
He's looking live.
The person who, you said a male,
or whatever you did.
Could you tell if it was a male
or female?
I think it was a male.
OK.
Rather skinny.OK.
How old did this male look?
Twentyish.
OK.It doesn't look like very old
to me.OK.
I can't see the face
so I can't tell,
but from the body language,
he's not struggling.
You know, the moving body
is rather smooth.
Could you tell a white male,
black male, or...
Looks like white to me.
OK.
CHAMBERS:The father then proceeds
to call the son
and asks the son, "Hey, are you
playing around with the camera?"
The son says, "No, I'm not playing
around with the camera."
He says, "I saw someone in the home.
"Can you go home
and check on your mom?"
I walk into my garage,
take off my shoes.
And I look in my room
and there's a drawer in my room
with a bunch of knives. I collect
like a bunch of knives and stuff.
That was open and I'm like,
"That's weird." Like...
And then I get to the living room
and I look left
and I see that there's... The
camera's been literally ripped out.
It's not even there anymore.
And then I hear the water running
and I walk into my parents' room
and I see her.
She's in the tub, water's flowing.
Her face is in the water.
My first thought is I thought
she'd committed suicide
cos I see there's a lot of blood.
And I just I remember I dragged her
out
and I started freaking out.
And I tried giving her...
Tried pushing her to start.
Just listening for her breath.
And just like putting breath into
her lungs
but she just tasted like blood.
MacVEIGH:Law enforcement get there
and they start their canvass
to the neighbourhood.
And they find a lady across
the street, Betty,
who states that sometime around
12.03, 12.05,
she says that she just sees
a door close.
It appears that there is a crime
scene that occurred in the foyer
next to the front door
because law enforcement
from the crime scene photos,
you can see blood droplets
out there, OK?
So that clearly means that somebody
would have had to stab her
and she'd been stabbed
approximately 13 times.
He then picked her up
and put her in the tub
and filled it up with water.
The first impression of the police
when they arrived at the house
and they saw the body,
they said this had to be
a murder of passion.
Like someone, whoever did this,
knew this woman.
This was a rage-style murder.
If you're seeing 20, 30 attacks,
particularly if occurring to the
torso, neck, other sensitive areas,
that indicates the person kept
stabbing
beyond what was absolutely
necessary
for that crime to have been
committed.
And that can indicate again
an emotional closeness.
There's some sort of
emotional investment.
The person's angry at the victim.
POLICE INTERVIEWER:
I wish I could tell you
you know, every single specific
thing
but there's just some things we have
to keep close to the chest.
But I mean it's just the whole
house, the way it's laid out,
it doesn't seem like... I mean,
we've worked robbery for many years.
It doesn't seem like a home invasion
robbery.
CHAMBERS:'The police are saying
that the point of entry
'where the perpetrator
may have come through,
'no-one possible could have
came through that way.
'If they did break in'
in that door, the first thing
the perp would have did
was open the back window.
He would have unlocked
the sliding door
so that he had a way to get out.
MACVEIGH:The detectives confirmed
that all the doors were locked.
If you're a burglar and you're going
into the house,
at what point
after you've killed this lady
do you then go back out
and then relock the house?
Because there would be a key
missing.
And then the whole thing about
this case is,
there's nothing missing from the
house. Nothing's been stolen.
Nothing! Nothing taken!
There was an iPad,
there was a Mac Book,
there was a laptop,
there was iPhones...
Nothing was taken.
Nothing!
So either the person who came there
just came to kill that woman
or they came there and they tried
to commit a burglary
but they left everything
that they got behind!
And just did this!
It just... That's not an M.O
of somebody who burglarises homes.
MAN: So what ended up happening was
police questioned the son.
And they questioned the father.
And when they questioned
both of them,
each of them,
they had a preconceived notion
that one or both of them
was responsible for the death
of Jill Halliburton Su.
OFFICER:Let me ask you this. There
seems to be a lot of guilt there
as when he talks about his mom,
he says that she was ashamed of him.
Why does he say that?
Well, because of...
He didn't make too good
with his grade.
Even, you know, make through
the two years in session.
Hmm.He basically drop out.
And my wife, having a professor
like me as a husband,
probably expect a lot from him.
Maybe he always feel pressure that
he have to, you know, perform.
He didn't. He couldn't.
Can I speak with you one more thing?
I kinda forgot earlier.
Sure.
So when we are gone...in Malaysia,
my wife told me
that she saw, happened to see
on live on the camera
in our dining room, by the camera,
that my son obviously sneak out
the front of the sliding door,
from here and come back
from the other door
from our bedroom where she have
little... (INDISTINCT) ..on there.
And then she cover her face.
He cover his face.
My son cover his face.
And then next thing you know he put
the towel on top of the camera.
That was why you...
(INDISTINCT)
So I know that is the reason why
initially I suspect this person
I saw in the mask may be him
because he's trying to pull a prank
on me.
Why would he say that?
Have you ever done that?
JUSTIN: I've thrown shit like
over the camera.
Have you ever put something around
your face...No, no, I haven't.
And your mom saw it and said,
"Oh, you're silly" or whatever?
No.
Sure about that?Yeah.
Put something on my face, cover up
my face?Are you sure about that?
Yeah.That both your parents thought
it was funny at the time
but it wasn't and they told you
not to do it again?
What, put something over the...
Over your face.
Over my face, no.
You never wore anything over your
face? A mask or anything like that?
And like scare the camera
or something like that? No.
NAN-YAO: Well, when we were
in Malaysia, he did that.
So my wife was kind of telling him
that, "Did you do this?
"In front of the camera and come up
and cover your face
"in front of this one here?"
And he say, "Yeah." So the three
of us were laughing
because he was so busted
on the other one.
We were just laughing at that.
'And we would do this, no way to
secure him
'because both of them being
unplugged,
'you say that they know this
camera.'
'Let me ask you, who knows where the
security camera is?''My son.'
Boom!
"Who knows where
the security camera is?" "My son."
And so when they questioned him
for hours and hours and hours,
they made it clear
that they believed Justin Su
was a suspect.
They thought, "Mom is dead.
"Dad is gone. Son finds the body.
"He's your killer, Su."
Why the fuck are you screaming?
I'm... I can't even...
Sit the fuck down.
Man, I've been in this room
way too long, man.
Yeah. OK, listen.
A lot of the stuff
that we talked about earlier,
and the stuff you told us,
it doesn't make sense.
What do you mean?
Are you saying that I did it?
Yeah.
Holy crap!
Oh, my...
No, I didn't! I would never...
I would never do that, dude!
That's bullshit.
Oh, my God!
"Oh, my God" what?
What's so hard to believe?
That I did that?! That I would break
into my home?
Nobody broke into that fucking home.
Stop playing this fucking game.
God! Are you serious?!Know how long
we've been doing this fucking job?
A long time!
It's horrible that you would even
think that I would fucking do it!
I'm sorry, but I...You're sorry?
I'm gonna go fuck...
You're not gonna go nowhere.
Dude, I didn't do it!
Your dad tells you there's somebody
inside your house
he sees on the camera.Yeah.
Your first thought is to go home...
Yeah!Shut up for a minute!
Your first thought is to take off
your shoes and go in your bedroom?
Yeah! Why? What's wrong with that?
I was gonna check it out.
I had a knife in my hand.What knife
did you have in your hand?
What?What knife...
I had a pocket knife.Which one?
The one from my car.
What does it look like?
It was just in my pocket, dude.
Where is it now?
It's in my car, still.
I put it back in my car.
What's it look like?
It's black.
So you put that back in your car
before the cops got there?
No!You said you had a knife
in your hand.
Fuck! You guys are putting shit in
my head now.You're saying it, man!
When did you have an opportunity
to go to your car?
When I was in my car, I dropped it.
What?
When did you have an opportunity
to go to your car?
When I got out of the car.
When did you... I'll ask again.
You're a smart guy.
I'm not trying to insult you...
That thing with the knife I made up
cos when you told me, "Why would you
go in the house?" I defended myself.
You made it up?Yeah.
That's a problem.
Sorry.
Don't do that again.
I just told you... I just told you
you're not making sense
and your stories
are all over the place
and you're sitting here now telling
me you made that up
about going back in your car?
Yeah.
That's the only thing I lied about.
I'm sorry.
You said you were in BC, right?
Yeah.
In the library.Yeah.
Why?
Oh, I'm just making sure.
So you don't tell me tomorrow
or later on today,
"Oh, yeah. I forgot to say I wasn't
really at the library."
Check the... Check the... Check
the garage, man. I was there...
I don't need to check the fucking
garage. I don't need to check.
Why not?Because you said you were
in the library.
So? What's wrong with that?
What if you're not in the library?
Then where were you?
In my car.
What were you doing in your car?
Sleeping.
So I'm gonna ask you
the same question again,
so you don't fuck this up.
Be honest with me. Did you stay
in your car sleeping
or did you go to the library?
I'm sorry I said that, too.
You fucking lied about that, too.
Because I don't want to sound like
a...asshole.
That's two lies.
I'll just point out two.
That's two lies that he...
I mean, why... Why...
My thing is, why would you even have
to lie if you didn't do anything?
If the only thing you did
was come home
and you found your mom deceased,
why would you lie about anything?
NAN-YAO: Was she stabbed repeatedly?
Many times?
Viciously?Hmm.
She was, multiple times.
Indicating that it's more like
emotional charge type of rage kill
type of thing, do you think?
I would think so.
Why... Why he tie her up?
Why he tie her up? It's his mom!
He don't have to tie her up.
You grabbed your mom, you pulled her
out of the tub, right?
So that you would have had blood
on your hands then, right?
You didn't put any gloves on
when you pulled your mom out of
the tub. You didn't have time.
While you walked through the house,
you have touched the sliding door
which means you would have blood
on the sliding door handle
of your mom's.
Yes.
And you would have blood on the lock
of the front door of your mom's.
I agree with you. That should...
That should be there.
Right. And if there isn't,
what does that mean?
That none of those things happened,
I guess. I don't know.
NAN-YAO: And, you know,
that's the reason why
we want to talk to somebody.
I need the lawyer's representation.
OK.I'm trying to be very
cooperative.
And you have been.
I wouldn't say that you haven't.
But since my son is still my son,
I would accept the truth
that he did it
but before that, we need to make
sure that everything is done fair.
OK. Everything, first of all,
is being done fair, OK?
Um, we're not trying to trick
anybody or anything like that.
OK? And you just said that
if he did it, you would accept it,
is that what you said?
If it's truth.
If the truth comes out that he did
it, I totally accept that.
If I found out that I was wrong,
I'd seriously consider
a career change.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
No, I... Someone's trying
to frame me, man!
Are you saying someone's trying
to frame you?
The only one that's capable
of framing you is your dad.
Would your dad frame you?
CHAMBERS:'You can't lie
to the police of Broward County
'on a murder charge.
'You can't lie.
'Ask some of the people who are
down there at the main jail
'can you lie about a homicide
and get out saying nothing.
'No. Any time you lie about anything
in a homicide,
'your ass will sit.'
'With them releasing the dad,
I understand that.
'And I get that,
because like I said,
'all his alibis and everything
was trunk tight.'
But with them releasing Justin,
based on the fact that he lied
to them multiple times
and he had been released,
I don't know if they had enough
to charge him
but he at least should have spent
the night in jail.
If we arrested people
on suspicion alone,
there'd be a lot of people arrested!
And a lot of people wrongfully
arrested
because obviously you suspect
a lot of different people.
But the police have to engage in
an investigation.
Until they have material evidence
that tends to provide probable cause
that someone committed a crime,
you can't arrest somebody.
You can't arrest somebody because
they told you they were at work
and then admitted that they were
sleeping.
WOMAN:'Justin was a kid who was
under kind of strained circumstances
'from his parents.
'He went to college for two years.
'Because he flunked out,
his parents made him come home.
'He'd only been home for a couple
of months at the time,
'so clearly he's kind of
on probation with his parents.'
And I can only imagine the dichotomy
of that
with a dad whose whole life
is academics.
'Dr Su is obviously
a very decorated professor
'and he's very well regarded
in his profession.
And the fact that Justin struggles
a little bit at school,
I mean, I can understand the dynamic
of the relationship.
It definitely seemed, I think,
from both the father and son
that there was tension
in that relationship.
'You can see that on one hand his
father acquiesced fairly quickly
'to the idea that he might have been
the perpetrator.
'And, you know, when Justin lied,
'it's possible this may have been
motivated by fear of his father'
but it would have to be really,
really significant for him
to think that lying to investigators
was the better choice
than simply accepting whatever
disagreement with his father
might have resulted.
MAN:Justin had a lot knives
because he was very into fishing,
which is a common thing in Florida.
A lot of people are into fishing
and a lot of them have
a lot of knives.
But Justin also had,
according to police,
a bit of a heavy drug usage habit.
And he was using
something called dab,
which is apparently 80% THC.
Now, anything above 20% THC
is considered high.
And that's not exactly trivial
when you're looking at
what happened with his mother.
Justin and his mother had always
been very tight, very close.
But sometimes, it's those
relationships that are closest to us
that cause the most extreme
reactions.
There had been more tension in their
relationship since he'd come home.
Had there been an argument
had there been an escalation
in that tension?
We don't know.
'Both Dr Su and the son were
questioned by police,
'and neither have been considered
suspects. However...'
I don't wanna say anybody's
been ruled out
or is a suspect. At this time,
this is a very active investigation
'When you have a lot of money
'there are lots of different
potential motives.
'Did she just recently inherit?
Her father died about a year ago,
'that could mean she came into a lot
of money recently.
'Who gains money when you die?
'Your heirs. Did she have a will?
'Did she promise in that will to
give lots of money
'to one of these foundations
that she volunteers for?
'You gotta think about
that question.'
'The deceased is an heir
to the Halliburton fortune,
so the Halliburton company made
millions if not billions of dollars
off the Afghan and Iraqi war.
If you recall George Bush gave that
company all kinds of work
supplying munitions,
supplies and everything
and they were no-bid contracts.
Cos it was "an emergency".
So, um...
This is a high profile case.
It's like, "We gotta find somebody."
There's a lot of pressure
on the police to solve this crime.
As soon as they're saying someone
burglarised their home,
and they killed their mom,
so the first thing the cops are
gonna do
is they'll start looking at all
the burglaries that happened
in probably a two or one-mile
radius of that actual place.
And they're gonna start trying
to find suspects.
And I think what they did is
they just found a suspect.
What happens, seven days later,
they process the scene for DNA,
and lo and behold, they find a knife
that was on the front porch.
They do the DNA, and lo and behold,
there's a hit on Dayonte Resiles.
Oh, I feel like my whole body
go down cos that's my poor son.
I don't have nobody else.
That was my oldest son.
He was the one I was depending on.
He said that, um,
he said that he just felt weak.
You know, Dayonte is his first born
and that's all, he's depending
on his being the oldest
so he kind of depended on Dayonte
a lot.
He said, um, it's very emotional
for him.
I think, you know, seeing Dayonte
in the position that he is,
and being a father and knowing that
he's helpless right now
and that he can't do anything
to help his son
and that he can't hold his son.
You know, so I think it's...
I think it's very like he's very
emotional about it, you know, yeah.
It's OK, Daddy.
So what's hard for me
is that we have...
Pains me to say it, but we have
a black young man in jail
for a crime that the husband said he
saw on video tape was a white guy!
He clearly states it!
My job as a prosecutor
is to do what is just.
Not to prosecute
any particular person.
When justice demands that a
particular person be prosecuted
because all the evidence points
to that person,
then that's what we do.
But if the evidence had pointed
somewhere else,
we would have followed it
and that's why I looked at as much
stuff as I could possibly look at
to ensure that we were
on the right path, and we were.
I guess their theory is that
when he saw her there he decided to
kill her
so he wouldn't get caught.
It's what I'm guessing
they're gonna go forward with.
But it's very different from what
we've seen from Dayonte's past.
He doesn't have violent offences
like this
where he's ever hurt someone,
stabbed someone.
He's a burglar. He is somebody
who breaks into homes,
steals and leaves.
He does not hurt people,
he does not kill people,
he does not maim people.
There's no way he did that.
No way.
I've never had a problem
out of Dayonte.
Fighting, all that, no.
He was a good child.
A loving, caring child.
Always wanting to do something
to help somebody.
"I'll clean up this.
I'll help you with that."
"You want me to cook?"
"You don't know how to cook!"
"I'll learn!"
He was Moochie. Ask questions.
He wanted to know everything,
so he had plenty of questions.
He got a outbursting personality.
He could be the life of the party,
the centre of attention.
'I always felt like
I was independent.
'I didn't wanna depend on my momma,'
so when I was like 11 years old,
I would sell the avocados.
We had avocados in the back of the
house. I would sell avocados.
Or mangoes. And then
I learned about selling candy.
I started selling candy and then
from candy I went to washing cars.
And from washing cars
I went to cutting grass.
He wanted to be a singer. He went
from singing to cooking.
From cooking to landscaping.
From landscaping,
he took a trade at Automoto.
Me and him are about the same age.
He used to come up here when he
could have been 13, 14 years old
and he used to always ask my dad
for a job,
but we were always busy staffed
and we had a lot of workers
so my dad would tell him,
you know what I mean, sweep up,
help clean up, help the guys
get the shop opened up
and he started doing that
and he would come here every morning
just to open up, make a little extra
money.
He just wanted to work,
he just wanted opportunity
and my dad ended up liking him
as a kid because he worked hard.
We spoke all the time as far as what
are you gonna do with your life,
you have to work hard, go to school,
things like that,
so we kept that kind of conversation
with him
because to me, the kid seemed like
he was college material.
I used to tell him back in the day,
you're such a smart kid,
you might be the next president!
DAYONTE: If you go now where
the cheesecake factory is,
keep going as if you're going
towards the beach,
they have a lot of big mansions,
a lot of big houses and stuff,
that's where I used to go and sell
candy when I was little,
cos, you know, I've always been
infatuated with like luxury of life
and having a big house,
nice cars and stuff, whatever,
so I used to go over there
even when I wasn't selling candy,
I'd go over there and I had
the motivation and determination
to like become better
and get richer in time.
And like the happy families,
I wanted that happy family because
it was just crazy, like.
You'd just see a bunch of kids
around
and they're enjoying life,
they're skateboarding,
and they're like there with their
family
and everybody's smiling,
they're happy,
but when you come back to your
reality, your home or whatever,
everybody's depressed or stressed,
thinking about the bills,
or kids hungry and stuff,
it was depressing,
so I always used to like try
to escape my reality
and go to my fantasy,
and so I used to go down
and I'd just walk on the beach
and just see different things.
NEAL:It tends to be
in south Florida
you're either comfortable
or really have it,
or you're scraping, just getting by.
There's not a lot
of this mushball middle
where you're kinda comfortable
but you're not really scraping.
You're not worried.
Moochie used to be here a lot, man.
He was coming up. He was just
a little boy, coming up right here.
This is one of the best
neighbourhoods,
gonna go up the road a little bit.
(CHILD GIGGLES)
Go to the side a little bit.
Hi!
(THEY LAUGH)
Alright. That's one of the kids.
I mean...
The kids round here, they want their
minute of fame and fortune!
Hey.
Look what we got, you know,
in the hood, you know?
All our cars beat up, don't work.
We gotta push 'em, we gotta walk,
we gotta catch the bus.
Hey.
You try to get money
the best way you can.
But it's a struggle for survival
round here, man.
It's not like everybody got the same
opportunity, you know?
Some make it, some don't, you know?
We still living with ACs
in the window right here.
DAYONTE: 'On 3rd Ave, you had
the park that we stayed at.
'It wasn't all that bad, but the
other side on 3rd Ave and 13th,
'that was bad,
'so my mom always used to tell us
we couldn't go there a lot
'or whatever cos it's too bad,
it's too much.
'Drug-selling, people dying,
'prostitutes, a lot of stuff bad.
'I was with my homie and I was gonna
go to the store
'that my mom usually have us go to
'but he convinced me to go down
the street to the other store.
'That's the day when life had this
change for me
'because I went down the street'
and I seen all these girls outside.
Beautiful women, booty everywhere.
I see all kind of like the lure of
the fast lane.
I seen big cars with big rims.
People with a lot of money
and all that other stuff.
CHAMBERS:If you grow up and
everybody's going to school
and everybody's eating lunch
and everybody has the same
opportunities, yeah, you learn them.
But if you come up and you see
everybody breaking into houses
and everybody is, you know,
robbing and stealing,
doing everything to get ahead,
for the newest clothes
and the newest outfit,
and you see that as a kid
and that's your surroundings,
that's what you grow up doing.
It's part of the process.
When you don't have nothing better
else to do
and you're looking at your
situation, it kinda make you feel
like you need to do something,
you know?
And unfortunately when you think
about doing something,
the quickest way to do something is
to do something wrong.
Because wrong is right there, every
day, in front of you, you know?
And wrong can make you money
in this country.
MOTHER:He got arrested for B&E.
Him and some other boys.
They sent him off to
Dozier School for Boys
that was a level six eight.
You could be in there
from six months to eight months.
And he was going good when he got
out of the program
to be honest with you.
It's just... He got out here
and continued hanging
with the wrong people.
I see a little bit of myself in him,
when I talk to him,
when I was younger.
And how that anger and that feel
like you're being cheated
because you're not getting
a proper childhood
that a normal child gets.
And so that can be one of two ways.
You can get angry or you can do
something about it.
I think Dayonte was in the middle
with that.
He would buy turkeys and stuff
like that
and give them to single mothers
and things like that.
So he was kind of like
a neighbourhood hero.
Especially when
you're from a community
that's downtrodden and poor.
MOTHER:When I went to set up
an account,
I bumped into some lady.
She said he helped pay
her light bill, $407.
And her own grandkids wouldn't even
help her pay her light bill.
And she said, "Your son paid this
for me."
DAYONTE: 'I've been in here since
she was born.
'She brung her to visitation and
just seeing her on the screen,'
she had her tongue all out.
She had her tongue out
but just looking at her,
she's the spitting image of me,
she's just like me and seeing her
just staring or whatever.
Cos I remember the first time
when I found that she had the baby.
And then I tried to get in touch
with her
and when I like, I heard her cry,
I broke down crying myself.
I broke down crying.
That's the...
That's the first time...
I believe that was, no, that was
my second time that I cried
after being in jail and that was
the last time I cried.
But she just...
She just brought me joy.
You know the feeling that you get
when you bring your first child
and you bring your first child
in the world.
But me and her like we never had
the connection,
I got to see her, hold her, kiss her
or spend time with her, whatever.
It's kinda hard being in here
but I'll have my time soon.
DOMINGUEZ:The state had the chance
to file it as a regular murder case
where he would have been facing just
a life sentence.
Or they could charge it
as a death penalty case
which they decided to do.
And so for Dayonte, it looks like
they're saying
that the way that the woman died
'was so heinous, atrocious and cruel
'that it merits the death penalty
from their point of view.'
SCHNEIDER:The most significant
reason
for the committee to decide
that this was a case
in which seeking
the death penalty is appropriate
was the fact that Mrs Su
was in her own home,
that she was tied up,
that she was alive
for some period of time
after being tied up,
that she was placed in a bathtub
and that then she was brutally
stabbed so many times.
You've got to think about
the terror.
And if we don't do our job,
the best that we can,
he's gonna die.
He's gonna be killed
by the state of Florida.
That weighs very heavy on us.
It's just, you know,
to be facing something that
he's facing, which is death,
um, with the lack of evidence
that there is,
it's just almost impossible
to believe that.
Why the guy was even arrested
in the first place for a murder.
But this is Broward County, so...
Within the last hour or so,
the Broward County sheriff's
crime lab
announced that it's no longer going
to do some DNA analysis,
a cornerstone of its operation
as the lab faces losing
its accreditation.
NBC 6 investigator Tony Pipitone
has been following the science here
and joins us live in the newsroom
with more on this. Tony?
The experts who give the lab
its accreditation
found errors in how it analysed DNA,
mistakes that lawyers say
could implicate innocent people.
That's why the lab just now has
agreed to stop doing some DNA tests
and will have to pay another lab
to do them.
All this while it fights to keep
its accreditation.
Defence attorney Monique Brochu
knew last year something was not
right with DNA evidence
coming from Broward's crime lab.
It was the only physical evidence
helping place her client,
Javon Gibson, at the scene
of an April 2010 murder.
So Brochu brought in DNA expert
Tiffany Roy
who found the Broward Sheriff's
crime lab
was misinterpreting DNA evidence,
an accusation confirmed by a board
that determines how crime labs
should operate.
The very first case that I ever
consulted on
for a defence attorney
was a Broward County case.
And it was done completely wrong.
The case had a profile that I would
consider to be unreliable.
It was too limited information,
too unreliable information
but Broward County went ahead
and made an association with it,
matched it to a defendant.
And I didn't know how they could do
that with this limited data.
You're supposed to look at
the sample independently
of anything else.
You're supposed to make
a determination
if that sample that you have,
that partial sample
is enough to go forward
with a match.
OK? But you're supposed to look at
independently of anything else.
What was happening
in the BSO crime lab
is they were taking the mixed
samples,
they were extrapolating them out,
realising we have three partial
samples of three people.
Now, when they realised
they couldn't go forward,
they were supposed to stop, but
instead of stopping at that point
what they were doing was taking
the known samples
the people that
they "wanted it to be", OK?
And they were saying, "Oh, look,
here's Monique's client.
And Monique's client and this one,
we kind of match it and it's kinda
matchy-matchy.
OK, we'll do that one.
And this one, OK, this is another
guy, and it's kinda good.
And it kinda matches here and there.
OK, we'll do that one.
So it was like they were playing
a game.
Instead of doing what they were
supposed to do independently,
they were trying to match it up
with the known samples.
The lab's accreditating agency board
agreed the lab is making mistakes
using portions of DNA so miniscule
they should have been disregarded
and being biased,
considering the DNA of a suspect
before deciding what portions of DNA
recovered from evidence
would be used to connect them
to the crime.
NEW SPEAKER:We all work for
someone. Somebody pays our bills
and we're influenced by that,
no question.
Some of the crime labs are paid
by the state police.
Some of them wear badges in the lab.
Do they have a special relationship
with the police,
with law enforcement?
Of course they do!
Most people who work in labs get all
the information about the case.
They have emails sometimes
from prosecutors
and the emails are like,
"We really gotta get this guy."
Does that have an effect
on the science? Yes.
Cognitive bias is real,
it's well-established.
And a great example of this
is a study by the National Institute
of Standards and Technology,
2013.
They gave the same mixture of data
to 109 crime labs
and they asked is Suspect A, B, C,
are they included in this ski mask
from a bank robbery?
But they created the data so that
for Suspect C it was really hard
to tell whether C was included
or not.
76 of 109 North American crime labs
said Suspect C is included.
Suspect C was not included
by the National Institute
of Standards and Technology.
It was a distracter.
It was a tough problem to see when
labs would say, "It's inconclusive."
And instead, 76 labs said
this person is included.
That doesn't mean we don't trust
the DNA.
I think DNA is very helpful if it
shows someone didn't commit a crime.
But to convict, we require a jury
to find beyond a reasonable doubt.
And that's a super-high standard.
I would hope that if all the other
evidence conflicts with the DNA,
you might not want to trust the DNA!
The way that DNA has been portrayed
in film, on TV and movies,
is that if you've got someone's DNA,
you're able to identify them.
It's an open and shut case.
The reality is, it's far more
complicated than just open and shut.
I'm old enough to be embarrassed
about some of the things
we used to believe about DNA.
We used to testify to a high degree
of scientific certainty
without having calculated
the certainty.
Because I was taught, as the FBI
taught people, to testify that way.
To say, "I am sure in my results
"to a high degree
of scientific certainty."
And then somebody said, "That's
actually a mathematical calculation.
"Did you do that?"
Because if we say Greg Hampikian
could have contributed the DNA,
we want to know who else could have
contributed?
How many other people?
DNA evidence cannot say
that you are in fact a match.
It can say that you are
a likelier match
within a reasonable likelihood
of multiples and multiples
of the tens of thousands.
There's no exact 100% match.
But the media has already convinced
a lot of folks
that DNA, if you have it,
then you've proved it.
But it's a lot more complex.
This calculation was part of
my complaint that I filed
against Broward initially
because they weren't using this
right.
And their accrediting body agreed
with my assessment, basically
and found that there were problems
with the way they were interpreting
these low-level mixed profiles
and assigning weights to them
for statistical purposes.
This is a case that would be
affected by that.
It's very likely that individuals
have gone through this system
on faulty evidence
and ultimately have been convicted
based on poor evidence.
So we're optimistic that this might
benefit Mr Resiles' case
because as I think I indicated
to you earlier,
it appears that the only link
at this point in time
to Mr Resiles to that crime scene
is some DNA that was on two items
that were found at the crime scene.
We're taking depositions now
with the people that collected
the DNA samples first
before we get to the people that
analysed it
so we get an idea of how it was
collected,
what was done with it before it got
to the lab, those kind of things.
This is a death penalty state.
You know, we execute people here.
And it absolutely needs to be done
right
and nowhere is it more important
than in states that do that.
DAYONTE: 'Every day, Sam,
I promise you, every day,
'I'm always planning, strategising
'of how I can make the best
of every situation
'and how to alter and change
'everything in life
to make it better.
'I'm driven to it, but it's hard'
knowing that when you're confined in
some freaking jail 23 hours a day
and these people treat you
like shit.
It's hard, it's hard.
I'm like, Sam, if you know
like I told you
this place acted like it was
a concentration camp for me.
'The stuff that they do to mentally
torture you
'emotionally and all that,
spiritually,
'they did, everybody did
what they possibly could,
'but I still remain unbroken.
'The only thing they haven't done
yet is kill me.
'I'm tired, now. I'm tired.'
Well, he wouldn't be
the first person,
the first person charged with
a serious crime
to feel that the system moves
too slow.
But as I explain to my clients,
"If you wanna move it fast,
go in and plead guilty.
"Otherwise, let your attorneys have
sufficient time to prepare
"these cases.
There's a lot of evidence,
"there's a lot of depositions
to be taken,
"there's various pre-trial motions
to be filed.
"And remember, you get about...
You get one trial!"
And then it's just a matter
of logistics.
I've got, at this point in time,
I've got half a dozen murder cases.
So I've got to work on all those
at the same time.
I'm in trial on other murder cases
that pre-date Mr Resiles' case,
so that takes me away from prep time
here.
There's nothing to be served
in a case of this magnitude
by rushing to trial.
And life brings you to that point
of depression or when you're sad
or depressed or anything,
you just look at it, you have
the power to change it.
In your mind, you have the strength
to change anything
that's wrong in life
and that you don't like
or that have you depressed
or anything.
You have the power to change it.
And then it's the same if somebody
tries to come and bring harm to you
or harm to your family,
you have to defend yourself.
You have to fight,
you have to stand firm.
You can't let nobody bat you down
because if you allow somebody
to bat you down, you lose.
But when you stand firm and fight,
that's when people back off.
What, what, what just happened?!
21-year-old Dayonte Resiles
had been in jail
for almost 22 months.
He went to the courthouse
this morning
for a hearing on whether he could
someday face the death penalty.
It's now been more than 14 hours
since the murder suspect managed to
make a mad dash from that hearing.
NBC 6 continues to cover all angles
of this manhunt.
SWAT teams went to work searching
for Resiles, but it was too late.
The Broward Sheriff's Office says
that this a violent criminal.
He is armed and dangerous.
If you see him,
call police immediately.
