I was disappointed with the verdict and the sentencing.

I was confident it would end without anyone being killed. I could tell that the negotiations were getting better. He seemed to realize what he had done.

We didn't want to go right in. Deploying patience was my main concern.

That weekend we all grew up professionally.

Dave was world-renowned. He loved life and had an amazing, uplifting personality. The world lost a great person that day.

People later sent me hours of video and newspaper clippings of it, but I haven't look at them since. It was such a difficult weekend.
