Moochie, qui a tué Jill Halliburton? (2023): Season 1, Episode 3 - Episode #1.3 - full transcript
(WOMAN) I heard really,
really loud noises outside,
it sounded like a football field
and I opened my eyes a little bit
and I seen a tank. I didn't really
know if I was dreaming
or I wasn't fully awake, but I heard
the door being broken to pieces,
like, they were breaking it down
and then I heard my brother's voice
and he said, "No, my hands are up,
my hands are up. Please don't shoot!
Please don't shoot."
And I was, like, "What the fuck
is this? What is going on?
This is crazy." I still didn't
understand. He read me my charges
and I did not understand
what he was saying.
(REPORTER) Crystal Isaacs is accused
of acting as a go-between
for Resiles and others, of passing
bribe money onto a detention deputy
and of manipulating
Resiles's Facebook page.
Resiles gave the deputy
a handwritten letter
saying that he wanted
to get his cell phone into the jail,
the deputy did the right thing,
he came forward.
We initiated a proactive
investigation and at that point
we started to monitor him.
(WOMAN) That deputy got him
a wiretapped phone
and investigators say phone calls
and text messages
trapped eight other suspects
in the crime.
(REPORTER) Resiles allegedly
enlisted the group to help lie
and cover for him to authorities.
(REPORTER) The operation
was dubbed RICO Suave, deputies say,
because of how Resiles was able to
charm others into helping him.
His murder case,
the case against him,
was clearly strengthened
by the investigation
that our public corruptions unit,
and the State Attorney's office
has done over the past year
and we look forward to the day
when prosecution begins.
# BABY HUEY & THE BABY SITTERS:
'Hard Times'
(REPORTER) A judge added
37 new charges to Resiles' record,
bringing the grand total to 70.
He's already being held
without bond for the murder
and escape charges against him.
So there's really no chance
he could be released from jail.
Last year we had Mr Resiles escape,
and then get apprehended,
which complicated the case,
or made it harder for him
and now they have filed a RICO case,
which basically concerns
him trying to fabricate an alibi.
According to the affidavit,
Dayonte's brought into jail.
Dayonte sees there is a new officer
on the block,
Mr G.
Does Dayonte know that Mr G's
a new officer on the block?
We don't know.
The affidavit knows,
the affidavit says
Dayonte knows there's a new officer
on the block.
And he wanted
to test the new officer.
I was doing my 30-minute check,
I look directly in his flat
to see if he was OK
and he looked at me, he was sitting
on his bed and then he said,
"G, can you get that for me?"
And I said, "What are you
talking about?" He was, like,
"What's on the flier." I said,
"OK, no problem."
So I took the note, I put it
in my pocket
and I finished my 30-minute round
and I went into the control room.
And the note says, "Hey,
they tell me you're a good guy.
They tell me I can trust you."
So I'm looking at a copy right here
of the note that was passed to you
on December 6th, it's basically
addressed to you, he calls you,
"Bra," B-R-A,
and then
basically stroking your ego.
And... seems to be grooming you
to be somebody he needs to help him.
That how you get it too?
Absolutely.
Mr G, according to the affidavit,
takes it to his supervisors
and they say, "A-ha!"
They must be psychic too,
because they realise,
"Hey, we think he's testing you out.
So we think you should play along."
They are such psychics.
They didn't know either. They were
all surprised. Play along.
"Maybe we hit the jackpot, maybe
he's really trying to escape."
So Mr G cultivates a relationship
with Dayonte.
He doesn't really lay out too much
with you,
he just says
in this particular letter
that he had a phone
before he calls O Line,
but the phone was taken from him
and it sounds as if
he's laying the groundwork to get
a phone brought in, correct?
Hm-mm.
So what do we do?
And the other one says,
"Why don't we come up with a plan
to put a telephone in his hand?
Our phone.
And he will think
he has a private line
and we monitoring everything.
So now we're monitoring
both the jail phone
and his private phone.
What a wonderful country.
Let's do that."
And that's what they did.
"So now, how do we accomplish
this task?
Did you see that hot, smokin',
pretty lady that came to see him
the other day? I think
that's his girlfriend.
Let's use that pretty girl."
So when I met with him,
he got off his car
and he walked up to me and he goes,
"Damn, you are beautiful!"
And I said, "Thank you." Then
he walked to the front of his car,
kinda leaned on it a little bit
and he goes, "Here,
this is the letter," and he goes,
"I didn't read it."
Crystal reads the letter, she thinks
it's something to do with the rings.
So she took it and walked and sat
in her car and read it. No ring?
What is this?! So took it to Mr G,
what is this?!
I was expecting a ring and he goes,
"So you have the phone?"
I was like, "The phone?
You wanna use my phone?
I have my phone." He goes,
"No, you're supposed to give me
a phone." And I said,
"I don't know." He said, "OK,
well, do you have the money
for the phone?" I said, "No,
I don't know what you're talking
about, Dayonte never told me
anything about money for the phone
or nothing like that.
The only thing Dayonte
ever asked me for money
was money to get the car
out the pound." And he goes,
"Oh well, I guess 'car'
must have been code for 'phone.'"
That's what he said.
They tried to get Crystal
to buy Dayonte a phone.
Thank God... she didn't.
Somehow they managed and succeeded,
through somebody else,
or whoever else they worked on,
to get a phone to Dayonte. A phone
that they had hooked up.
A phone that they were monitoring
completely
and that was the phone
Dayonte was calling everybody,
including Crystal, about. So Mr G
tells Crystal,
"Listen, you didn't buy the phone
when we wanted you to buy the phone,
now he managed to get the phone,
but we gotta pay the bills."
Then started harassing her
for money.
Her judgement was so impaired
is that at one point
she got her mother involved,
because she was unavailable to make
the payment to the guard
and the guard met with her
and, of course,
when the guard would meet
with anybody, he was recorded.
She said to me, "Dayonte
needs commissary, can you take it
to the jail?" Because she's busy,
she had to go to work, I said yeah.
Then she calls me later on
and she said, "Don't worry,
you don't have to go to the jail,
the deputy is gonna be over here
at the mall, you can give him
the money and he'll do it."
You look just like Crystal. You do,
or she look like you,
let me say that.
Looks like her dad, how you doing?
I'm fine. How you doing?
Alright.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
It's alright, you're welcome.
As soon as I gave him the money,
he goes, "Oh yeah, here's the phone
that I bought." I said, "Phone?
I don't know anything
about a phone."
Yeah, I got it.
This is the phone I give him.
Don't show me.(LAUGHS)
I don't know anything about a phone.
All I know is that
you've got some money for the food,
for him to eat. So you're gonna
feed him and that's all I need.
Just like Crystal.
So her mum contributing $30,
supposedly for a phone bill
for Dayonte,
her mum got charged too. Yes. Yes,
The mother.
That's how it normally goes, right?
They go after your mother,
or your wife, or your kids. So yeah,
I was targeted
because they wanted to hurt him.
I feel heartbroken, I feel like
they tore us apart from each other.
I don't think it's right.
As pretty as she is,
she's very feeble
and very insecure
and easily influenceable.
When guys go to jail, they tell you
they're gonna marry you tomorrow.
(LAUGHS) Because obviously, you have
more to offer them
than they have to offer you,
but don't get so wrapped up,
you have a child, you have
your own life, you have a career.
Maybe she was seeking love
and he's very... what's the word
I'm looking for? What do they call
men, not a gentleman,
but men that sweep women
off their feet with their words?
That's the kind of person he is.
I haven't gotten everything yet,
but the allegation is that he
called up a number of his friends
on the cell phone
and discussed with them
creating an alibi for himself
that he was out of town in Georgia
when the murder occurred.
His effort to craft the alibi...
..was part of what led police
to believe, even more firmly,
that he had
committed the Halliburton-Su murder.
He doesn't come out and say to
people, "I want you to lie for me."
If you read the letters and you
listen to the calls,
he's very sophisticated
about how he goes about it,
because, you know, asking somebody
to lie for you is a big thing.
That's not the way he goes about it,
he says, "No, no, I need you
to tell them this,
because then I'll get to go home."
He had convinced a new girlfriend,
with whom he had spent no time
out of jail, but she joined him
in this effort.
If he was in the Atlanta area,
it was before the murder
and he was back in South Florida
before the murder.
They did some sophisticated
cell phone tracking
on his cell phone and they were able
to show, quite frankly,
I think it coming down
the expressway
as he made his way south.
So they bolstered
the daily investigation
and the BSO investigation by this
whole new cell phone analysis
placing his cell phone
in south Florida
when this happened,
placing his cell phone
not far from the murder scene.
So this whole new plan
of trying to create a defence
has actually resulted
in the murder case
being strengthened, not only
by the evidence of
he's trying to fabricate a defence,
but physical evidence in terms of
cell phone analysis.
The fact that he had escaped
and gotten caught
and is still trying
to manipulate circumstances,
I think again goes to support
why someone who's just committing
a burglary would kill somebody.
This is a guy who will do anything
to get himself out of trouble.
Whether he did the homicide or not,
is sort of irrespective to this,
he did sucker these people
into committing serious crimes
on his behalf, you know,
they're all going to be
in real trouble, and that ability
to be persuasive,
to be manipulative, to be charming
and to be unconcerned
about the ramifications of that
for this other person
is consistent with psychopathy.
We call this, officially,
anti-social personality disorder,
which in many ways misleads people
cos it sounds like these folks
are loners when in fact
they love people, you know?
That doesn't mean
he committed the homicide,
but he definitely did this,
you know, this sort of scenario.
I hate to admit this,
his faces are really cute. He have
this, what I call, puppy eyes.
Have a little white eye
underneath it
and if you're looking down,
looking up at you,
it's a puppy expression.
Face is round,
disproportionate big eyes,
big forehead.
Those are the human baby feature
that, if you look at
Disney character,
they all have that characteristic
and evoke the emotion,
oh my god, I have to embrace you
because you are so cute.
He carried that.
I'm sure he knew that since he was
little, he can use that expression
and he's talked into money
creating people
into what he want them to do.
To be honest with you,
a lot of people are going to jail
for some of the things
they're doing after and not even
really the crime itself
that they're in jail for,
and this happens
to a lot of our clients
that we represent.
They can't help themselves,
they get inside a jail,
they get on the jail phone,
and, I mean, desperate men
do desperate things.
You gotta realise the things
that I go through and I endure
on a day to day basis, like,
people don't realise
the mental, emotional or, like,
the spiritual trauma
that I have to endure
and it's just those things
that just piles up and I'm, like,
I have nowhere to turn, like,
I tried to do everything,
I exhausted every remedy that I have
before me and it's just, like,
I was frustrated, I was tired.
(MAN) Hm. And I didn't ask you
before,
but where were you
on the day of the murder?
To be honest with you,
I don't even remember this day,
like,
there's nothing significant
that I can recall to think of.
Hm. Yeah. I understand.
Burglary of a dwelling is 15 years,
so you got two of those.
If you got two of those, that's 30,
right?
You got an escape, that's 15.
So, now you got 45 years, right?
Now you got a RICO charge,
just the RICO charge is 30 years,
along with
a bunch of substantive charges.
So before you even get to
a conviction of a murder charge,
he's potentially serving
75 to 100 years in prison.
It's a tough defence, yeah.
It's a tough defence,
but now what it really boils down to
is saving his life.
They were, like, don't smile,
don't look at him,
keep your hands to yourself.
So I told the officer, I said,
"I cannot tell you
I'm not gonna smile, like,
I'm gonna start blushing
when I see him." But he was, like,
"It's OK, just don't give him
any eye contact and don't, like,
lift your hands up
or do anything weird."
I don't know if you see, like,
you know, I always limp a little bit
when I'm walking. They put
this big electric monitor on my leg,
if I do something it'll shock me,
like, I could defecate on myself,
urinate or stuff like that,
but you know, they laid out rules,
like, "OK, you can't look
in her direction, you can't do this,
or whatever," so I don't wanna
do anything or look in her direction
and then they go to yelling
and she gets nervous
or she gets scared, but I got to
see her out the corner of my eye.
She's looking so beautiful.
Her hair got longer, everything.
I was overjoyed when I see him.
I felt happy. I didn't think
he was gonna look that good,
but he looked really good.
I felt the vibrations,
I felt the feeling that she was
transferring off and, like,
she had this beautiful innocence
about her and then
I was just looking, I'm, like, wow,
like, I was hurt because, like,
it's, like, she was being strapped,
being tied down or whatever,
you're watching a guy
or some people harming your wife
or your kids or whatever
and you can't do nothing about it,
it kind of hurts you in your heart
because knowing what she's going
through, it's a bad feeling.
Judge, if we believe our truth,
then clearly both Crystal
and his mom
are not part of
any underlying conspiracy
that may have been cooked up
by Mr Dayonte Resiles.
(HIS VOICEOVER) Dayonte's case
is the master case. Massive.
It's several cases rolled in one.
There is the murder case and then
there are whatever
other small burglaries
was involved in it.
So we're trying to extricate
ourselves from that case
and take care of Crystal's case
and her mom's case separately.
The conspiracy, whatever it is,
we're not part of it
and I'm proving to you
we're not part of
anybody's conspiracy.
That goes to the strength
of the case. Next I'm saying,
because we're not part of
any conspiracy,
you need to give us bail.
Why should we sit around
while you all try and figure out
how we were this conspiracy,
or that conspiracy? Let her out!
I enjoyed representing him,
but I knew he was impatient
and I knew that once I got involved
in that other murder trial
that he was not gonna be satisfied,
and I don't know that I would be
either, with me saying,
"I'll see you in a couple of years,
cos I'm in court
on another murder case."
So Mike Orlando,
he's a very dedicated lawyer
and he's also assisted by Allari,
and they formed
a very good defence team.
Cos it sits on the island,
that's an island.What do you mean,
an island?
That whole community, this is
the whole community here.
Oh, I see.
So it sits on this island
and you can't get in.
Yeah, straight off the peninsular.
So the whole thing is surrounded
by canals.Right.
So I mean, I don't understand...
let's face it,
it had to be here or this side.
Right.
Somebody was alleging, like,
he would get a suit on or something
and go through neighbourhoods
and all that.
So I mean, that's not the same as
drudging through a backyard.
So you can't have it both ways.
You can't claim that his M.O.
is going in a suit, you know,
looking like a nice, proper person
and then, when no-one's home,
breaking in,
versus, you know, trudging through
everybody's backyard discreetly.
I'm not sure where all that
information comes from,
but I know that it was conveyed
to you.
It might have been through Dohn.
I think Dohn was saying that too.
How does he get through
the backyard?
Like, did he go knock on the door
to see if someone was home
or anything like that? He was, like,
"Well no, he has an M.O.
on some of his other burglaries."
And I was, like, "OK,
but the M.O. doesn't fit this one,
right?" And he was, like, "No."
I was, like, "Good for us, right?"
He was, like, "Yeah, OK."
So, y'know...
He woulda had to come in
through those yards,
all the way down
and jump all those gates.
I find it hard to believe
that someone would've went...
killed someone
and, after they killed someone,
come up that back side of that way,
running, without leaving a shred
of evidence,
jumping out and coming out
through one of these gates.
I don't know, it's like
this whole incident,
it's just been...
..one impossible after another.
Down this way, down that area.
About four or five houses down
is the crime scene.
So they would've had to either
go through
about four to five backyards
to run through there,
or to come out of these bushes
to get out of there.
To avoid water.
To avoid water.
And you still gotta
run through people's yards.
An African-American dude
is running through here,
ain't no way in the world,
ain't nobody over here,
ain't nobody that he going through
their yards, ain't gonna
call the police
at that time of day,
in that neighbourhood.
Even if you got in that way,
I mean, you're gonna get grass,
you're gonna get the sticky stuff
on your shoes and some of this stuff
would've either been in the house...
So the suggestion is
they were in a vehicle?
They had to be.
Now, are you in a position
to give any type of opinion
as to how the perpetrators
would've been able to enter
into the Westridge community
on or about September 8th of 2014?
All I can say is, they didn't
come in through the gatehouse
in a position where I would've seen.
He knows what the client looks like
and he did not see him there
that morning, you know?
I mean, that's probably the...
It wasn't, like, "Well,
I don't know,
I wasn't paying attention." It was,
like, "No, I did not see him."
Hi, sorry to bother you.
My name's John MacVeigh,
I'm a private investigator.
Did you live here in 2014?
2014. I did.
You did, OK.
So I'm hired by the criminal defence
attorney on the homicide
that happened down the street.
Your white fence
that goes along here,
was that here then,
stuck into the water like that?
It was.
And was the guy behind you,
the hedge, the same way too?
The hedge behind me?
Yeah, that separates your property
from the next one.
That's actually my hedge.
It may have been higher.
OK. Alright.
But it was there.
OK, alright.Were you home
during that day? Do you remember?
Cos I didn't see you
ever interviewed by the police.
I, uh...
Or at least
anybody from this address.
Yeah, I was here.
You were?
I work out of the house.OK.
I'm here 90%.
OK.
So like, you wanna talk
about burglaries? Well,
this house has the exact same door
as the one
that Dayonte's accused of kicking in
and getting in through the house.
So you're gonna bypass this house
to go three more lots?
This fence looks old too.
That's what doesn't make sense.
If you look in
through that backyard,
that's a straight shot
from the road.
That would make more sense
coming that way than it would be
coming down the canal road.
He was concerned
about a hole in the fence
that people can get through.
I can jump right over this.
A hole had nothing to do with it.
There's a bunch of holes
in the fence. I don't need it.
You just get up over here
and jump in
and then you're right by the street.
Well, logically,
they're gonna have to say
he came this way.
Yeah.
So where's he park his car?
All the way down to the park,
which is probably...
a quarter of a mile,
a third of a mile.
So what we're gonna do is,
we're gonna drive out of here
the shortest route
from Westridge community
to where his phone hits off
a cell tower at 12.28,
which is position number 25.
So we're right here,
the victim's house.
So we're gonna go out here
and drive north to 5-95
and then go east on 5-95
to state road 7.
The speed limit's 45 on this road.
So we're at about 11 minutes.
11.04 to get into the area,
which is basically where we were.
If at 12.13 he was grabbing
the camera and out the door,
and he sprinted probably
from the house to his car,
and then basically didn't really
have any traffic issues, yeah,
he could've got to this location.
There's the point of entry
where someone kicked in
a sliding glass door.
So Dayonte Resiles
has a number of outstanding charges
related to burglaries. There's one
that happened
in the city of Boca Raton, Florida,
on November 5th, 2013.
And the thing
that's interesting about this case
is the entry to the residence
is through what appears to be
a back-sliding glass door,
where it's kicked out.
There's a small entrance,
so he clearly
went to the back of the house,
kicked in that glass and then
went in.
In all of those cases he focuses on
the master bedroom
and he steals jewellery,
because that's what he takes
on all the cases. Wanna see pictures
of some of the stuff on his phone?
Here, let me give you some pictures.
Where do I have 'em? Oh, over there.
All from his phone.
This is what he steals.
He focuses on master bedrooms
and he steals jewellery,
because then he sells it
at the swap shop.
Searches for homes, fancy homes.
Oh,
here's more pictures of jewellery.
More pictures of him
with all the money. Fancy homes.
In two of the burglaries
that he has,
he pulled alarm panels
off the wall and, in one of them,
put them in a tub with water in it.
In another one, he put it
in the sink of the bathroom
and left the water running,
just like he did with Mrs Su.
If you see in these photographs,
there's close-ups,
the water's running,
and lo and behold,
here's the alarm box.
So whoever committed this burglary,
who we believe was Dayonte,
because we now know
that the faucet handle
has a bloodstain on it
that implicates him. Dayonte
must have cut his hand somewhere
during the burglary
and then placed this alarm box
in the master bedroom sink
and then touched the faucet
when he turned it on,
leaving the bloodstain.
So it's extremely similar
in Jill Su's case,
which clearly is probably
some kind of means
to disable the alarm
in case there's a battery back-up,
things like that.
Their argument, in my opinion,
doesn't hold,
because it's not a unique way
of committing a burglary, to go
into a home, break a window,
disarm the alarm,
happens in every burglary case.
Most homes in south Florida
have a glass door
that can be easily broken,
most homes have alarms. Sometimes
they have an independent battery
and the best way of messing up
a battery,
you don't even have to be an expert
on it, is making it wet.
It's not a unique thing.
They don't feed her.
Some Jamaican officer,
who has been giving her a hard time,
when she went around
and fed everybody else,
purposely did not feed Crystal.
I truly believe
they're trying to break her.
I really believe they're trying
to break her spirit.
That's why I'm fighting so hard
that we get the depositions,
so I can get her out on bail.
I don't know how much longer
she can take it.
And the new hiccup on the RICO case
is that it looks like Crystal Isaacs
is gonna give a proffer
against our client.
So in exchange for this proffer,
her bond is going from, let's see,
250,000, 300,
10, 20, 30, 40,
440, 450...
475,000
to... $10,000.
Oh...wow.
Mm-hm.
So... and they're gonna try and say
that that's not of benefit
to Crystal,
in exchange for testifying
against Dayonte. But -
It's not a benefit
to get out of jail.
A bond of 470,000 versus a bond
of 10,000 is a big difference.
If I pled guilty,
what would that mean for Dayonte?
It would not be good for him.
That would mean another person
is against him.
That's what that means.
That means that everything
that they accuse me of,
and they're accusing Dayonte
of doing with me,
I would be admitting that, yeah,
it's true.
They want me to help them hang him.
They want me to say
he's a bad person, a manipulator,
he's dangerous.
That's what they want.
We'll set Crystal Isaacs
for October 4th.
I'm gonna call that a change
of plea, we'll be optimistic,
and if it doesn't resolve
on that date,
there's a very good chance
we'll be going over to Judge Murphy.
(MAN) It's huge. (LAUGHS)
I know. Hey, Mom.
(LAUGHS)
'So what did you tell them?'
Nothing.
I got a little bit upset inside
and because, you know, it was
some drama or whatever, but nothing.
I'm here,
I have to go straight to Fritz.
'You have to go straight to Fritz?'
Yeah.'You can't come here?'No.
She gave me strict instructions.
I have to go to Fritz's house
right now and over the weekend
I have to stay inside until Monday
because I didn't get released
in time to go across the street
to, you know, meet with the ladies.
So...
'Oh my god. So you can't even get
no clothes?'
No. I can't. Not until Monday.
Of course I'm happy for her,
why wouldn't I be?
I'm happy that she's home,
because I know it wasn't easy
for her, cos I know she was
putting everything
she possibly could think of,
how the hell am I gonna survive
jail?
How am I gonna through with it
again? I felt like
there was a point in time where,
like, she probably hates me now
and she doesn't want
nothing to do with me
because I'm, like, oh, she probably
feels like everybody else fucked me
and all that other stuff, but I said
until I hear it from her,
until she tells me otherwise,
or whatever, she's still my fiancee,
that's still who I love.
That's really fascinating
to see that he did that
without them having met in person,
you know? All through contact,
through the correctional facility
and again, I think that speaks to,
you know, his charm, you know?
Incredibly sophisticated charm
with women, to be able to manage
to do that. As far as her, I mean,
you can hear
a little bit of the bewilderment
herself, I think,
that there's a little piece of her
that feels like she got charmed
in there somewhere too and that
what she's doing, or what she did
doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
I feel a lot of sympathy
for Crystal. She did herself
a lot of damage,
she looks like she's a good person
and probably would've done well,
but her life
has taken a real negative turn
and, you know, whatever else
he may or may not have done,
Dayonte is responsible for that.
They've made an offer for Crystal
to plead guilty
for the two years or so
she's been in jail,
that will be time served,
we're done with the case.
If we plead guilty, essentially,
officially,
it would be like pleading guilty,
but you're pleading no contest.
If you're pleading no contest,
if the judge withholds adjudication
and it does not enter
as a guilty plea,
for purposes of being able to avoid
being a convicted felon
and if, after two years of fighting
and recognising the struggles
that we take to get here,
if that's an option you would like,
I as an attorney, I'll fight
for that
and that will be part of
what's on the table
and then the decision is yours.
But taking the two years served,
it means
that I won't be able to talk
to Dayonte, cos they want me
to stay away from him
and that means that my licence
and everything that I worked
so hard for
would be in vain,
because that means I'm guilty,
I would be a convicted felon
and it's not gonna be a good look
for me, it's gonna be very bad.
So...
We did not charge you with anything
that we couldn't prove
either through documents or tapes.
Why can't I see the video
before trial?
Because
it might have been corrupted.
Have you seen the video?
Yes, I saw it before.
I tried to copy it over and over
again and our IT thinks
is that because we tried
to extract it so many times,
now the video won't play.
Oh, this is funny.
What do you want? OK,
if you wanna see the video,
then that's it.
That's the end of it.
I'll go back and we'll get ready
for trial. I don't care.
I just want you to know
that if we go to trial
and if you're convicted
and afterwards you go,
"I didn't know
that I was looking at this,"
I'm gonna say, "You know what,
Judge? That's bullshit."
And he's gonna sentence you
and then you're gonna be
going through the appellate process.
That's why I ask you, what is it
you want to do with your life?
You were in jail two and half years,
your son was what, 18?
Now he's what? 21 or so?
You're not our interest.
I don't care about you.
I would never be involved
in anything like that.
I'm not that type of person.
Crystal, I've listened to the tapes
and that's not true.
What's not true?
What you just said.
Like what?
All the charges that I brought here
were all based on the tapes.
Here's what I would recommend.
We'll send you the plea offer
in writing,
we'll give you two weeks.
Then that offer's going to expire
at the end of the two weeks.
There will not be another offer
and we're just gonna go forward
at that point and, you know,
you'll get to see the show.
I didn't like that.
I didn't like it.
I don't feel like it should've
ever happened. I feel like
I was in a cave with sharks.
It was just something
that should've never happened.
I didn't understand the purpose.
They tried to scare me
and when I asked 'em about the tape,
the tape that would've proved
that this man actually asked me
for a phone and money
to buy the phone,
the tape is corrupt and this is
what the prosecutor,
"Well, the tape is corrupt."
So then what are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do then?
This is what happened
in the little room.
What are you gonna do?
We just won't use it in trial.
Is that OK? This is my evidence,
I want my evidence.
I said that prosecutor
that's working there,
you could slap her
and don't even feel sorry.
She's a bitch from hell.
She lies her ass off in there.
You wanna hear all that shit
she's telling the judge?
A whole pile of lies, man.
This bitch got me out here
for two years, I can't work.
Got my daughter in jail for nothing.
I'm not nice to them,
I'm telling you,
I'm not nice to anybody anymore.
I'm not nice.
I'm just not fucking nice,
because they fucked me over
like this
and they fucked up my child
and they did a lot of damage
in my life and my kids' life.
I do not have any respect.
I never did like the police
from day one,
but now I even hate them more.
Seriously, I hate them even more,
because they fucked up my life
and my daughter's life
and that's the reason
why everybody hates them.
Do you think anybody likes them?
If I pled guilty, it would not be
good for him,
but what other choice do I have?
I really don't know what to do
at this point.
I spend the rest of my life
in prison,
or I take the two years time served.
I don't know.
It's a hard pill to swallow.
My understanding is you'd like
to resolve your case today. Correct?
Yes.
Alright.
You're going to be pleading
to counts 2, 3 and 13.
The agreement is that
it's going to be an adjudication,
802 days time served,
with credit for the full time.
Is that your understanding
of the State's offer?
Yes.
The counts that you're going to be
pleading to today
are count 2, which is conspiracy,
RICO, that's punishable
by up to 30 years prison, count 3,
bribery of a public servant,
that's punishable
by 15 years prison,
count 13, tampering with a witness
involving a life or capital felony,
that's punishable by life in prison.
Do you understand the maximum
penalty you're looking at?Yes.
How are you pleading to the charges?
Guilty, not guilty or no contest?
There's three options?
Well, yes. But if it's...
is it a negotiated guilty?
(WOMAN) Yes, Your Honour,
that was the State's offer.OK.
So if you'd like to resolve
your case,
then it would be a guilty plea.
OK, guilty.
Alright. I find the defendant
is alert and intelligent,
pleas entered freely and voluntarily
with her knowing
she will waive her rights
with the aid of an attorney
with whom she is satisfied. Guilty.
We feel like a lot of burden
came off of us today.
It's been a long journey.
We're not really happy
with everything.
We didn't get what we wanted,
but in life you don't get everything
you want.
So we just have to settle somewhere.
At this point,
we've settled really at the bottom,
but, you know...
(MAN) And you, Crystal?
I really don't have anything much
to say. I really don't.
You look upset.
I am.She is upset.
Because, in addition
to all of this,
the prosecutor today,
after they make us plead guilty,
just to get the hell out of here
and get it over with,
then he walks up to her
and he's taunting her,
"Oh, he's not gonna marry her."
So this pisses her off,
because, you know,
the whole point of this arrest
for the past two and a half years
was because she said,
"I'm gonna marry Dayonte."
Because of this.
That's it in a nutshell.
That's the big issue.
They're worried
about the wrong things.
We're going over
to the pre-trial office right now,
we're gonna take this monitor
off her leg and then
we're gonna go to the beach.
And then, tonight,
I'm going fishing with my son.
I could think of a few better things
to do,
but I'm gonna just do that,
you know?
Cos I could... for the prosecutor,
but (LAUGHS)... OK,
I'm just running off my mouth.
I could think of nicer things to do,
but right now,
me and my daughter, we're going
to the beach.
I got in contact
with the founder of Drop Cam
and I actually spoke to him
last night on the phone.
His name's Greg Duffy.
The interesting thing is,
the motion detection,
and when the camera gets shut off,
would've sent still pictures
of the last motion to him by email.
Oh, really?
So he said that the last motions
would've been by email,
which he never says that.
Which again is leading everything
up to this whole camera thing,
and the death and him just checking,
is all fabricated.
So why would you fabricate that?
Well, to me, clearly, would be
you know more
than what you're telling us.
He happens to check the camera
at the exact same time
the bad guy
is pulling the camera down,
the exact same time. Which...
That is an unbelievable coincidence.
All the timeline stems from him,
so if it stems from him,
if we take the video away,
then where's the timeline?
Everything comes from the premise
of him seeing a video,
but we don't have that video.
So without that video,
what do we have?
really loud noises outside,
it sounded like a football field
and I opened my eyes a little bit
and I seen a tank. I didn't really
know if I was dreaming
or I wasn't fully awake, but I heard
the door being broken to pieces,
like, they were breaking it down
and then I heard my brother's voice
and he said, "No, my hands are up,
my hands are up. Please don't shoot!
Please don't shoot."
And I was, like, "What the fuck
is this? What is going on?
This is crazy." I still didn't
understand. He read me my charges
and I did not understand
what he was saying.
(REPORTER) Crystal Isaacs is accused
of acting as a go-between
for Resiles and others, of passing
bribe money onto a detention deputy
and of manipulating
Resiles's Facebook page.
Resiles gave the deputy
a handwritten letter
saying that he wanted
to get his cell phone into the jail,
the deputy did the right thing,
he came forward.
We initiated a proactive
investigation and at that point
we started to monitor him.
(WOMAN) That deputy got him
a wiretapped phone
and investigators say phone calls
and text messages
trapped eight other suspects
in the crime.
(REPORTER) Resiles allegedly
enlisted the group to help lie
and cover for him to authorities.
(REPORTER) The operation
was dubbed RICO Suave, deputies say,
because of how Resiles was able to
charm others into helping him.
His murder case,
the case against him,
was clearly strengthened
by the investigation
that our public corruptions unit,
and the State Attorney's office
has done over the past year
and we look forward to the day
when prosecution begins.
# BABY HUEY & THE BABY SITTERS:
'Hard Times'
(REPORTER) A judge added
37 new charges to Resiles' record,
bringing the grand total to 70.
He's already being held
without bond for the murder
and escape charges against him.
So there's really no chance
he could be released from jail.
Last year we had Mr Resiles escape,
and then get apprehended,
which complicated the case,
or made it harder for him
and now they have filed a RICO case,
which basically concerns
him trying to fabricate an alibi.
According to the affidavit,
Dayonte's brought into jail.
Dayonte sees there is a new officer
on the block,
Mr G.
Does Dayonte know that Mr G's
a new officer on the block?
We don't know.
The affidavit knows,
the affidavit says
Dayonte knows there's a new officer
on the block.
And he wanted
to test the new officer.
I was doing my 30-minute check,
I look directly in his flat
to see if he was OK
and he looked at me, he was sitting
on his bed and then he said,
"G, can you get that for me?"
And I said, "What are you
talking about?" He was, like,
"What's on the flier." I said,
"OK, no problem."
So I took the note, I put it
in my pocket
and I finished my 30-minute round
and I went into the control room.
And the note says, "Hey,
they tell me you're a good guy.
They tell me I can trust you."
So I'm looking at a copy right here
of the note that was passed to you
on December 6th, it's basically
addressed to you, he calls you,
"Bra," B-R-A,
and then
basically stroking your ego.
And... seems to be grooming you
to be somebody he needs to help him.
That how you get it too?
Absolutely.
Mr G, according to the affidavit,
takes it to his supervisors
and they say, "A-ha!"
They must be psychic too,
because they realise,
"Hey, we think he's testing you out.
So we think you should play along."
They are such psychics.
They didn't know either. They were
all surprised. Play along.
"Maybe we hit the jackpot, maybe
he's really trying to escape."
So Mr G cultivates a relationship
with Dayonte.
He doesn't really lay out too much
with you,
he just says
in this particular letter
that he had a phone
before he calls O Line,
but the phone was taken from him
and it sounds as if
he's laying the groundwork to get
a phone brought in, correct?
Hm-mm.
So what do we do?
And the other one says,
"Why don't we come up with a plan
to put a telephone in his hand?
Our phone.
And he will think
he has a private line
and we monitoring everything.
So now we're monitoring
both the jail phone
and his private phone.
What a wonderful country.
Let's do that."
And that's what they did.
"So now, how do we accomplish
this task?
Did you see that hot, smokin',
pretty lady that came to see him
the other day? I think
that's his girlfriend.
Let's use that pretty girl."
So when I met with him,
he got off his car
and he walked up to me and he goes,
"Damn, you are beautiful!"
And I said, "Thank you." Then
he walked to the front of his car,
kinda leaned on it a little bit
and he goes, "Here,
this is the letter," and he goes,
"I didn't read it."
Crystal reads the letter, she thinks
it's something to do with the rings.
So she took it and walked and sat
in her car and read it. No ring?
What is this?! So took it to Mr G,
what is this?!
I was expecting a ring and he goes,
"So you have the phone?"
I was like, "The phone?
You wanna use my phone?
I have my phone." He goes,
"No, you're supposed to give me
a phone." And I said,
"I don't know." He said, "OK,
well, do you have the money
for the phone?" I said, "No,
I don't know what you're talking
about, Dayonte never told me
anything about money for the phone
or nothing like that.
The only thing Dayonte
ever asked me for money
was money to get the car
out the pound." And he goes,
"Oh well, I guess 'car'
must have been code for 'phone.'"
That's what he said.
They tried to get Crystal
to buy Dayonte a phone.
Thank God... she didn't.
Somehow they managed and succeeded,
through somebody else,
or whoever else they worked on,
to get a phone to Dayonte. A phone
that they had hooked up.
A phone that they were monitoring
completely
and that was the phone
Dayonte was calling everybody,
including Crystal, about. So Mr G
tells Crystal,
"Listen, you didn't buy the phone
when we wanted you to buy the phone,
now he managed to get the phone,
but we gotta pay the bills."
Then started harassing her
for money.
Her judgement was so impaired
is that at one point
she got her mother involved,
because she was unavailable to make
the payment to the guard
and the guard met with her
and, of course,
when the guard would meet
with anybody, he was recorded.
She said to me, "Dayonte
needs commissary, can you take it
to the jail?" Because she's busy,
she had to go to work, I said yeah.
Then she calls me later on
and she said, "Don't worry,
you don't have to go to the jail,
the deputy is gonna be over here
at the mall, you can give him
the money and he'll do it."
You look just like Crystal. You do,
or she look like you,
let me say that.
Looks like her dad, how you doing?
I'm fine. How you doing?
Alright.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
It's alright, you're welcome.
As soon as I gave him the money,
he goes, "Oh yeah, here's the phone
that I bought." I said, "Phone?
I don't know anything
about a phone."
Yeah, I got it.
This is the phone I give him.
Don't show me.(LAUGHS)
I don't know anything about a phone.
All I know is that
you've got some money for the food,
for him to eat. So you're gonna
feed him and that's all I need.
Just like Crystal.
So her mum contributing $30,
supposedly for a phone bill
for Dayonte,
her mum got charged too. Yes. Yes,
The mother.
That's how it normally goes, right?
They go after your mother,
or your wife, or your kids. So yeah,
I was targeted
because they wanted to hurt him.
I feel heartbroken, I feel like
they tore us apart from each other.
I don't think it's right.
As pretty as she is,
she's very feeble
and very insecure
and easily influenceable.
When guys go to jail, they tell you
they're gonna marry you tomorrow.
(LAUGHS) Because obviously, you have
more to offer them
than they have to offer you,
but don't get so wrapped up,
you have a child, you have
your own life, you have a career.
Maybe she was seeking love
and he's very... what's the word
I'm looking for? What do they call
men, not a gentleman,
but men that sweep women
off their feet with their words?
That's the kind of person he is.
I haven't gotten everything yet,
but the allegation is that he
called up a number of his friends
on the cell phone
and discussed with them
creating an alibi for himself
that he was out of town in Georgia
when the murder occurred.
His effort to craft the alibi...
..was part of what led police
to believe, even more firmly,
that he had
committed the Halliburton-Su murder.
He doesn't come out and say to
people, "I want you to lie for me."
If you read the letters and you
listen to the calls,
he's very sophisticated
about how he goes about it,
because, you know, asking somebody
to lie for you is a big thing.
That's not the way he goes about it,
he says, "No, no, I need you
to tell them this,
because then I'll get to go home."
He had convinced a new girlfriend,
with whom he had spent no time
out of jail, but she joined him
in this effort.
If he was in the Atlanta area,
it was before the murder
and he was back in South Florida
before the murder.
They did some sophisticated
cell phone tracking
on his cell phone and they were able
to show, quite frankly,
I think it coming down
the expressway
as he made his way south.
So they bolstered
the daily investigation
and the BSO investigation by this
whole new cell phone analysis
placing his cell phone
in south Florida
when this happened,
placing his cell phone
not far from the murder scene.
So this whole new plan
of trying to create a defence
has actually resulted
in the murder case
being strengthened, not only
by the evidence of
he's trying to fabricate a defence,
but physical evidence in terms of
cell phone analysis.
The fact that he had escaped
and gotten caught
and is still trying
to manipulate circumstances,
I think again goes to support
why someone who's just committing
a burglary would kill somebody.
This is a guy who will do anything
to get himself out of trouble.
Whether he did the homicide or not,
is sort of irrespective to this,
he did sucker these people
into committing serious crimes
on his behalf, you know,
they're all going to be
in real trouble, and that ability
to be persuasive,
to be manipulative, to be charming
and to be unconcerned
about the ramifications of that
for this other person
is consistent with psychopathy.
We call this, officially,
anti-social personality disorder,
which in many ways misleads people
cos it sounds like these folks
are loners when in fact
they love people, you know?
That doesn't mean
he committed the homicide,
but he definitely did this,
you know, this sort of scenario.
I hate to admit this,
his faces are really cute. He have
this, what I call, puppy eyes.
Have a little white eye
underneath it
and if you're looking down,
looking up at you,
it's a puppy expression.
Face is round,
disproportionate big eyes,
big forehead.
Those are the human baby feature
that, if you look at
Disney character,
they all have that characteristic
and evoke the emotion,
oh my god, I have to embrace you
because you are so cute.
He carried that.
I'm sure he knew that since he was
little, he can use that expression
and he's talked into money
creating people
into what he want them to do.
To be honest with you,
a lot of people are going to jail
for some of the things
they're doing after and not even
really the crime itself
that they're in jail for,
and this happens
to a lot of our clients
that we represent.
They can't help themselves,
they get inside a jail,
they get on the jail phone,
and, I mean, desperate men
do desperate things.
You gotta realise the things
that I go through and I endure
on a day to day basis, like,
people don't realise
the mental, emotional or, like,
the spiritual trauma
that I have to endure
and it's just those things
that just piles up and I'm, like,
I have nowhere to turn, like,
I tried to do everything,
I exhausted every remedy that I have
before me and it's just, like,
I was frustrated, I was tired.
(MAN) Hm. And I didn't ask you
before,
but where were you
on the day of the murder?
To be honest with you,
I don't even remember this day,
like,
there's nothing significant
that I can recall to think of.
Hm. Yeah. I understand.
Burglary of a dwelling is 15 years,
so you got two of those.
If you got two of those, that's 30,
right?
You got an escape, that's 15.
So, now you got 45 years, right?
Now you got a RICO charge,
just the RICO charge is 30 years,
along with
a bunch of substantive charges.
So before you even get to
a conviction of a murder charge,
he's potentially serving
75 to 100 years in prison.
It's a tough defence, yeah.
It's a tough defence,
but now what it really boils down to
is saving his life.
They were, like, don't smile,
don't look at him,
keep your hands to yourself.
So I told the officer, I said,
"I cannot tell you
I'm not gonna smile, like,
I'm gonna start blushing
when I see him." But he was, like,
"It's OK, just don't give him
any eye contact and don't, like,
lift your hands up
or do anything weird."
I don't know if you see, like,
you know, I always limp a little bit
when I'm walking. They put
this big electric monitor on my leg,
if I do something it'll shock me,
like, I could defecate on myself,
urinate or stuff like that,
but you know, they laid out rules,
like, "OK, you can't look
in her direction, you can't do this,
or whatever," so I don't wanna
do anything or look in her direction
and then they go to yelling
and she gets nervous
or she gets scared, but I got to
see her out the corner of my eye.
She's looking so beautiful.
Her hair got longer, everything.
I was overjoyed when I see him.
I felt happy. I didn't think
he was gonna look that good,
but he looked really good.
I felt the vibrations,
I felt the feeling that she was
transferring off and, like,
she had this beautiful innocence
about her and then
I was just looking, I'm, like, wow,
like, I was hurt because, like,
it's, like, she was being strapped,
being tied down or whatever,
you're watching a guy
or some people harming your wife
or your kids or whatever
and you can't do nothing about it,
it kind of hurts you in your heart
because knowing what she's going
through, it's a bad feeling.
Judge, if we believe our truth,
then clearly both Crystal
and his mom
are not part of
any underlying conspiracy
that may have been cooked up
by Mr Dayonte Resiles.
(HIS VOICEOVER) Dayonte's case
is the master case. Massive.
It's several cases rolled in one.
There is the murder case and then
there are whatever
other small burglaries
was involved in it.
So we're trying to extricate
ourselves from that case
and take care of Crystal's case
and her mom's case separately.
The conspiracy, whatever it is,
we're not part of it
and I'm proving to you
we're not part of
anybody's conspiracy.
That goes to the strength
of the case. Next I'm saying,
because we're not part of
any conspiracy,
you need to give us bail.
Why should we sit around
while you all try and figure out
how we were this conspiracy,
or that conspiracy? Let her out!
I enjoyed representing him,
but I knew he was impatient
and I knew that once I got involved
in that other murder trial
that he was not gonna be satisfied,
and I don't know that I would be
either, with me saying,
"I'll see you in a couple of years,
cos I'm in court
on another murder case."
So Mike Orlando,
he's a very dedicated lawyer
and he's also assisted by Allari,
and they formed
a very good defence team.
Cos it sits on the island,
that's an island.What do you mean,
an island?
That whole community, this is
the whole community here.
Oh, I see.
So it sits on this island
and you can't get in.
Yeah, straight off the peninsular.
So the whole thing is surrounded
by canals.Right.
So I mean, I don't understand...
let's face it,
it had to be here or this side.
Right.
Somebody was alleging, like,
he would get a suit on or something
and go through neighbourhoods
and all that.
So I mean, that's not the same as
drudging through a backyard.
So you can't have it both ways.
You can't claim that his M.O.
is going in a suit, you know,
looking like a nice, proper person
and then, when no-one's home,
breaking in,
versus, you know, trudging through
everybody's backyard discreetly.
I'm not sure where all that
information comes from,
but I know that it was conveyed
to you.
It might have been through Dohn.
I think Dohn was saying that too.
How does he get through
the backyard?
Like, did he go knock on the door
to see if someone was home
or anything like that? He was, like,
"Well no, he has an M.O.
on some of his other burglaries."
And I was, like, "OK,
but the M.O. doesn't fit this one,
right?" And he was, like, "No."
I was, like, "Good for us, right?"
He was, like, "Yeah, OK."
So, y'know...
He woulda had to come in
through those yards,
all the way down
and jump all those gates.
I find it hard to believe
that someone would've went...
killed someone
and, after they killed someone,
come up that back side of that way,
running, without leaving a shred
of evidence,
jumping out and coming out
through one of these gates.
I don't know, it's like
this whole incident,
it's just been...
..one impossible after another.
Down this way, down that area.
About four or five houses down
is the crime scene.
So they would've had to either
go through
about four to five backyards
to run through there,
or to come out of these bushes
to get out of there.
To avoid water.
To avoid water.
And you still gotta
run through people's yards.
An African-American dude
is running through here,
ain't no way in the world,
ain't nobody over here,
ain't nobody that he going through
their yards, ain't gonna
call the police
at that time of day,
in that neighbourhood.
Even if you got in that way,
I mean, you're gonna get grass,
you're gonna get the sticky stuff
on your shoes and some of this stuff
would've either been in the house...
So the suggestion is
they were in a vehicle?
They had to be.
Now, are you in a position
to give any type of opinion
as to how the perpetrators
would've been able to enter
into the Westridge community
on or about September 8th of 2014?
All I can say is, they didn't
come in through the gatehouse
in a position where I would've seen.
He knows what the client looks like
and he did not see him there
that morning, you know?
I mean, that's probably the...
It wasn't, like, "Well,
I don't know,
I wasn't paying attention." It was,
like, "No, I did not see him."
Hi, sorry to bother you.
My name's John MacVeigh,
I'm a private investigator.
Did you live here in 2014?
2014. I did.
You did, OK.
So I'm hired by the criminal defence
attorney on the homicide
that happened down the street.
Your white fence
that goes along here,
was that here then,
stuck into the water like that?
It was.
And was the guy behind you,
the hedge, the same way too?
The hedge behind me?
Yeah, that separates your property
from the next one.
That's actually my hedge.
It may have been higher.
OK. Alright.
But it was there.
OK, alright.Were you home
during that day? Do you remember?
Cos I didn't see you
ever interviewed by the police.
I, uh...
Or at least
anybody from this address.
Yeah, I was here.
You were?
I work out of the house.OK.
I'm here 90%.
OK.
So like, you wanna talk
about burglaries? Well,
this house has the exact same door
as the one
that Dayonte's accused of kicking in
and getting in through the house.
So you're gonna bypass this house
to go three more lots?
This fence looks old too.
That's what doesn't make sense.
If you look in
through that backyard,
that's a straight shot
from the road.
That would make more sense
coming that way than it would be
coming down the canal road.
He was concerned
about a hole in the fence
that people can get through.
I can jump right over this.
A hole had nothing to do with it.
There's a bunch of holes
in the fence. I don't need it.
You just get up over here
and jump in
and then you're right by the street.
Well, logically,
they're gonna have to say
he came this way.
Yeah.
So where's he park his car?
All the way down to the park,
which is probably...
a quarter of a mile,
a third of a mile.
So what we're gonna do is,
we're gonna drive out of here
the shortest route
from Westridge community
to where his phone hits off
a cell tower at 12.28,
which is position number 25.
So we're right here,
the victim's house.
So we're gonna go out here
and drive north to 5-95
and then go east on 5-95
to state road 7.
The speed limit's 45 on this road.
So we're at about 11 minutes.
11.04 to get into the area,
which is basically where we were.
If at 12.13 he was grabbing
the camera and out the door,
and he sprinted probably
from the house to his car,
and then basically didn't really
have any traffic issues, yeah,
he could've got to this location.
There's the point of entry
where someone kicked in
a sliding glass door.
So Dayonte Resiles
has a number of outstanding charges
related to burglaries. There's one
that happened
in the city of Boca Raton, Florida,
on November 5th, 2013.
And the thing
that's interesting about this case
is the entry to the residence
is through what appears to be
a back-sliding glass door,
where it's kicked out.
There's a small entrance,
so he clearly
went to the back of the house,
kicked in that glass and then
went in.
In all of those cases he focuses on
the master bedroom
and he steals jewellery,
because that's what he takes
on all the cases. Wanna see pictures
of some of the stuff on his phone?
Here, let me give you some pictures.
Where do I have 'em? Oh, over there.
All from his phone.
This is what he steals.
He focuses on master bedrooms
and he steals jewellery,
because then he sells it
at the swap shop.
Searches for homes, fancy homes.
Oh,
here's more pictures of jewellery.
More pictures of him
with all the money. Fancy homes.
In two of the burglaries
that he has,
he pulled alarm panels
off the wall and, in one of them,
put them in a tub with water in it.
In another one, he put it
in the sink of the bathroom
and left the water running,
just like he did with Mrs Su.
If you see in these photographs,
there's close-ups,
the water's running,
and lo and behold,
here's the alarm box.
So whoever committed this burglary,
who we believe was Dayonte,
because we now know
that the faucet handle
has a bloodstain on it
that implicates him. Dayonte
must have cut his hand somewhere
during the burglary
and then placed this alarm box
in the master bedroom sink
and then touched the faucet
when he turned it on,
leaving the bloodstain.
So it's extremely similar
in Jill Su's case,
which clearly is probably
some kind of means
to disable the alarm
in case there's a battery back-up,
things like that.
Their argument, in my opinion,
doesn't hold,
because it's not a unique way
of committing a burglary, to go
into a home, break a window,
disarm the alarm,
happens in every burglary case.
Most homes in south Florida
have a glass door
that can be easily broken,
most homes have alarms. Sometimes
they have an independent battery
and the best way of messing up
a battery,
you don't even have to be an expert
on it, is making it wet.
It's not a unique thing.
They don't feed her.
Some Jamaican officer,
who has been giving her a hard time,
when she went around
and fed everybody else,
purposely did not feed Crystal.
I truly believe
they're trying to break her.
I really believe they're trying
to break her spirit.
That's why I'm fighting so hard
that we get the depositions,
so I can get her out on bail.
I don't know how much longer
she can take it.
And the new hiccup on the RICO case
is that it looks like Crystal Isaacs
is gonna give a proffer
against our client.
So in exchange for this proffer,
her bond is going from, let's see,
250,000, 300,
10, 20, 30, 40,
440, 450...
475,000
to... $10,000.
Oh...wow.
Mm-hm.
So... and they're gonna try and say
that that's not of benefit
to Crystal,
in exchange for testifying
against Dayonte. But -
It's not a benefit
to get out of jail.
A bond of 470,000 versus a bond
of 10,000 is a big difference.
If I pled guilty,
what would that mean for Dayonte?
It would not be good for him.
That would mean another person
is against him.
That's what that means.
That means that everything
that they accuse me of,
and they're accusing Dayonte
of doing with me,
I would be admitting that, yeah,
it's true.
They want me to help them hang him.
They want me to say
he's a bad person, a manipulator,
he's dangerous.
That's what they want.
We'll set Crystal Isaacs
for October 4th.
I'm gonna call that a change
of plea, we'll be optimistic,
and if it doesn't resolve
on that date,
there's a very good chance
we'll be going over to Judge Murphy.
(MAN) It's huge. (LAUGHS)
I know. Hey, Mom.
(LAUGHS)
'So what did you tell them?'
Nothing.
I got a little bit upset inside
and because, you know, it was
some drama or whatever, but nothing.
I'm here,
I have to go straight to Fritz.
'You have to go straight to Fritz?'
Yeah.'You can't come here?'No.
She gave me strict instructions.
I have to go to Fritz's house
right now and over the weekend
I have to stay inside until Monday
because I didn't get released
in time to go across the street
to, you know, meet with the ladies.
So...
'Oh my god. So you can't even get
no clothes?'
No. I can't. Not until Monday.
Of course I'm happy for her,
why wouldn't I be?
I'm happy that she's home,
because I know it wasn't easy
for her, cos I know she was
putting everything
she possibly could think of,
how the hell am I gonna survive
jail?
How am I gonna through with it
again? I felt like
there was a point in time where,
like, she probably hates me now
and she doesn't want
nothing to do with me
because I'm, like, oh, she probably
feels like everybody else fucked me
and all that other stuff, but I said
until I hear it from her,
until she tells me otherwise,
or whatever, she's still my fiancee,
that's still who I love.
That's really fascinating
to see that he did that
without them having met in person,
you know? All through contact,
through the correctional facility
and again, I think that speaks to,
you know, his charm, you know?
Incredibly sophisticated charm
with women, to be able to manage
to do that. As far as her, I mean,
you can hear
a little bit of the bewilderment
herself, I think,
that there's a little piece of her
that feels like she got charmed
in there somewhere too and that
what she's doing, or what she did
doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
I feel a lot of sympathy
for Crystal. She did herself
a lot of damage,
she looks like she's a good person
and probably would've done well,
but her life
has taken a real negative turn
and, you know, whatever else
he may or may not have done,
Dayonte is responsible for that.
They've made an offer for Crystal
to plead guilty
for the two years or so
she's been in jail,
that will be time served,
we're done with the case.
If we plead guilty, essentially,
officially,
it would be like pleading guilty,
but you're pleading no contest.
If you're pleading no contest,
if the judge withholds adjudication
and it does not enter
as a guilty plea,
for purposes of being able to avoid
being a convicted felon
and if, after two years of fighting
and recognising the struggles
that we take to get here,
if that's an option you would like,
I as an attorney, I'll fight
for that
and that will be part of
what's on the table
and then the decision is yours.
But taking the two years served,
it means
that I won't be able to talk
to Dayonte, cos they want me
to stay away from him
and that means that my licence
and everything that I worked
so hard for
would be in vain,
because that means I'm guilty,
I would be a convicted felon
and it's not gonna be a good look
for me, it's gonna be very bad.
So...
We did not charge you with anything
that we couldn't prove
either through documents or tapes.
Why can't I see the video
before trial?
Because
it might have been corrupted.
Have you seen the video?
Yes, I saw it before.
I tried to copy it over and over
again and our IT thinks
is that because we tried
to extract it so many times,
now the video won't play.
Oh, this is funny.
What do you want? OK,
if you wanna see the video,
then that's it.
That's the end of it.
I'll go back and we'll get ready
for trial. I don't care.
I just want you to know
that if we go to trial
and if you're convicted
and afterwards you go,
"I didn't know
that I was looking at this,"
I'm gonna say, "You know what,
Judge? That's bullshit."
And he's gonna sentence you
and then you're gonna be
going through the appellate process.
That's why I ask you, what is it
you want to do with your life?
You were in jail two and half years,
your son was what, 18?
Now he's what? 21 or so?
You're not our interest.
I don't care about you.
I would never be involved
in anything like that.
I'm not that type of person.
Crystal, I've listened to the tapes
and that's not true.
What's not true?
What you just said.
Like what?
All the charges that I brought here
were all based on the tapes.
Here's what I would recommend.
We'll send you the plea offer
in writing,
we'll give you two weeks.
Then that offer's going to expire
at the end of the two weeks.
There will not be another offer
and we're just gonna go forward
at that point and, you know,
you'll get to see the show.
I didn't like that.
I didn't like it.
I don't feel like it should've
ever happened. I feel like
I was in a cave with sharks.
It was just something
that should've never happened.
I didn't understand the purpose.
They tried to scare me
and when I asked 'em about the tape,
the tape that would've proved
that this man actually asked me
for a phone and money
to buy the phone,
the tape is corrupt and this is
what the prosecutor,
"Well, the tape is corrupt."
So then what are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do then?
This is what happened
in the little room.
What are you gonna do?
We just won't use it in trial.
Is that OK? This is my evidence,
I want my evidence.
I said that prosecutor
that's working there,
you could slap her
and don't even feel sorry.
She's a bitch from hell.
She lies her ass off in there.
You wanna hear all that shit
she's telling the judge?
A whole pile of lies, man.
This bitch got me out here
for two years, I can't work.
Got my daughter in jail for nothing.
I'm not nice to them,
I'm telling you,
I'm not nice to anybody anymore.
I'm not nice.
I'm just not fucking nice,
because they fucked me over
like this
and they fucked up my child
and they did a lot of damage
in my life and my kids' life.
I do not have any respect.
I never did like the police
from day one,
but now I even hate them more.
Seriously, I hate them even more,
because they fucked up my life
and my daughter's life
and that's the reason
why everybody hates them.
Do you think anybody likes them?
If I pled guilty, it would not be
good for him,
but what other choice do I have?
I really don't know what to do
at this point.
I spend the rest of my life
in prison,
or I take the two years time served.
I don't know.
It's a hard pill to swallow.
My understanding is you'd like
to resolve your case today. Correct?
Yes.
Alright.
You're going to be pleading
to counts 2, 3 and 13.
The agreement is that
it's going to be an adjudication,
802 days time served,
with credit for the full time.
Is that your understanding
of the State's offer?
Yes.
The counts that you're going to be
pleading to today
are count 2, which is conspiracy,
RICO, that's punishable
by up to 30 years prison, count 3,
bribery of a public servant,
that's punishable
by 15 years prison,
count 13, tampering with a witness
involving a life or capital felony,
that's punishable by life in prison.
Do you understand the maximum
penalty you're looking at?Yes.
How are you pleading to the charges?
Guilty, not guilty or no contest?
There's three options?
Well, yes. But if it's...
is it a negotiated guilty?
(WOMAN) Yes, Your Honour,
that was the State's offer.OK.
So if you'd like to resolve
your case,
then it would be a guilty plea.
OK, guilty.
Alright. I find the defendant
is alert and intelligent,
pleas entered freely and voluntarily
with her knowing
she will waive her rights
with the aid of an attorney
with whom she is satisfied. Guilty.
We feel like a lot of burden
came off of us today.
It's been a long journey.
We're not really happy
with everything.
We didn't get what we wanted,
but in life you don't get everything
you want.
So we just have to settle somewhere.
At this point,
we've settled really at the bottom,
but, you know...
(MAN) And you, Crystal?
I really don't have anything much
to say. I really don't.
You look upset.
I am.She is upset.
Because, in addition
to all of this,
the prosecutor today,
after they make us plead guilty,
just to get the hell out of here
and get it over with,
then he walks up to her
and he's taunting her,
"Oh, he's not gonna marry her."
So this pisses her off,
because, you know,
the whole point of this arrest
for the past two and a half years
was because she said,
"I'm gonna marry Dayonte."
Because of this.
That's it in a nutshell.
That's the big issue.
They're worried
about the wrong things.
We're going over
to the pre-trial office right now,
we're gonna take this monitor
off her leg and then
we're gonna go to the beach.
And then, tonight,
I'm going fishing with my son.
I could think of a few better things
to do,
but I'm gonna just do that,
you know?
Cos I could... for the prosecutor,
but (LAUGHS)... OK,
I'm just running off my mouth.
I could think of nicer things to do,
but right now,
me and my daughter, we're going
to the beach.
I got in contact
with the founder of Drop Cam
and I actually spoke to him
last night on the phone.
His name's Greg Duffy.
The interesting thing is,
the motion detection,
and when the camera gets shut off,
would've sent still pictures
of the last motion to him by email.
Oh, really?
So he said that the last motions
would've been by email,
which he never says that.
Which again is leading everything
up to this whole camera thing,
and the death and him just checking,
is all fabricated.
So why would you fabricate that?
Well, to me, clearly, would be
you know more
than what you're telling us.
He happens to check the camera
at the exact same time
the bad guy
is pulling the camera down,
the exact same time. Which...
That is an unbelievable coincidence.
All the timeline stems from him,
so if it stems from him,
if we take the video away,
then where's the timeline?
Everything comes from the premise
of him seeing a video,
but we don't have that video.
So without that video,
what do we have?
