>> due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is advised. >> an online post from a die-hard dodgers fan leads to his arrest at a reds game. >> he had made some veiled threats online about shattering lives. >> nobody can read that quote and think i was there to shatter lives. this could destroy me, destroy my life, destroy my kids. they don't care. >> the tragic shooting leaves one inmate facing prison time. >> for me to shoot in the air
9:01 pm
and accidentally hit my daughter is the worst feeling in the world. >> an outrage over his punish. leads to more arrests. >> we feel lierk there was no justice. >> she's in jail. i'm in jail. that ain't no good, man. >> i'm still grieving. >> cincinnati, ohio, has been going through a revitalization. the two towers that make up the city's jail serve as a reminder that it can still be a dangerous place. most of the 1,300 inmates at the hamilton county justice center are only accused of crimes and are awaiting trial and the resolution of their cases.
9:02 pm
and many say there's one factor that ties cincinnati crime together. guns. >> the gun violence is under control. you can be here one day, you can be gone the next. >> everybody i know has a gun. it's like baseball cards. you trade 'em, sell 'em, collect 'em. >> i see it all over the news how bad it is with the guns. it's dangerous out there. >> for deandre kelley, the issue of gun violence couldn't be more personal. >> two of my kids, my oldest and my youngest, are gone by gun violence. and i'm telling everybody now, if you've got a gun and you're young, put 'em down because you don't want to be like me, stuck in here. i went from being a family man to the worst man that everybody think of.
9:03 pm
accidents happen, but this was just one accident i'll never be able to swallow because it's my daughter. >> kelly, who lost a son to cincinnati gun violence 14 months earlier, recently lost his 11-year-old daughter shanty, to a bullet fired from his own gun. the case made national headlines. >> i shot up in the air, and bullets came down and accidentally hit my daughter. >> kelley pled no contest to charges of reckless homicide and illegally carrying a firearm. he's awaiting sentencing and faces up to six years in prison. at the time of the shooting three months earlier, kelley and his long time girlfriend christina lanza were raising five children together. according to prosecutors, on the night shanti was killed, there was a slumber party at the house. kelley had been out drinking with friends and returned home
9:04 pm
around 2:00 a.m. >> krissy said i was too drunk, to get away from her. you know, she don't like me when i'm drunk. and i just turned around, shot in the air, being stupid, not knowing that the bullet was going to ricochet and hit my daughter through an open window. >> prosecutors say shanti was in an upstairs bedroom where she had gone to get away from her parents' argument, when a bullet struck her in the chest. kelley says he left the scene, unaware that his daughter had been hit. she was later pronounced dead at the hospital. >> i didn't know nothing until they told me what happened the next day. when it registered, i was thinking, seriously, take the gun and do yourself. i'll go crazy for real. crying, wishing i could help, but she already gone.
9:05 pm
>> was it normal for you to shoot guns when your kids were present? you knew there was kids in the house. >> right. >> that's the thing. why shoot at them? >> you got people that live in the projects, want to see how they guns sound, want to show off. basically that's what i was doing. we call it killing clouds. i wasn thinking. i wasn't in my right mind. i was just showing off and bang, bang, bang, bang. i don't even know how many times i shot in the air. and like christine said, the bullets got to come down and go somewhere. >> kelley, who has a prior conviction for drug possession, says he began carrying a gun for protection after his son was killed, even though as a felon, he was court-ordered not to do so. >> i never pulled it out or nothing because christina don't like guns in her house. so i would put the gun outside before i got in the house, where
9:06 pm
she would never know that the gun was on me. >> when you talked to christina after the accident happened, was she mad at you? >> she was, like, look what you did. they know how much i love my daughter. so it was like in the middle of cussing me out and crying, but cussing me out more and crying more. i understood her, but at the time, i'm breaking down, too. >> kelley says that despite the tragedy, his girlfriend has been a constant source of support. >> i talk to christina every day. i know she hurting because that's our baby girl. so i call her every day to keep her mind off of what we going through. worst part of my day is when i'm on the phone and she start crying. you know, i ain't been able to mourn, period, because i ain't even been out. i wasn't allowed to go to her
9:07 pm
funeral. all i got is pictures that i look at every night. and i stare at this one. i don't go no farther than that. she's happy with her daddy. it bring tears to my eyes. for me to shoot in the air and accidentally hit my daughter, it's the worst feeling in the world. it hurt inside because it's my hands that her blood on. every day, i wake up and it's like, where my baby at? the pain will never go away. how can it? every day i wake up, and i know what i'm here for. i know what i lost. so, yeah, it will never go away. never. >> coming up, deandre kelley's
9:08 pm
sentence lead to mayhem and arrests in the courtroom. >> i'm just thinking, i hope they just shut up. >> a dodgers fan sneaks into a red skin. >> i only made it to the inning before i was recognized. >> and prosecutors believe he had sinister intentions. >> this day and age, you go to a ballpark and say you're going to hurt a bunch of people, you're going to be charged with a crime. did we just, start looking for a house? oh did you see that listing on zillow i sent you. you see that bathroom? did we just decide to buy house?
9:11 pm
9:12 pm
play the final three games of the series. i only made it through the seventh inning of the first game before i was recognized. instead of letting me leave, i was arrested and charged with trespassing and obstructing. >> these current charges to which sexton has pled not guilty stem from having been given a lifetime ban from the reds' ballpark six years earlier for his involvement in a fight in the standings during the game. >> my favorite player comes into pitch. bottom of the seventh, one out. when he gets out of that tough jam, i face it to the crowds. people are throwing stuff at me, peanuts, ice cubes. i had had a little bit to drink. this was so stupid. so i gave everybody the middle finger. i shouldn't have done that. so anyway, somebody comes up behind me, is tugging my arm, telling me to stop. so i physically removed him from me because he wouldn't let go.
9:13 pm
he fell down the steps. next thing i noeknow, i'm body slammed to the ground. >> the game had to be delayed. >> i'm 40 years old, and you think it would kind of diminish as i got older, but i've grown more of a dodger fan as i got older instead of the other way around. some people ask me, why is joe beimel your favorite player? here is why. >> that dedication has earned sexton a following online where he posts videos under the name troy from. >> i just got a camera out and started talking about my flavor player, joe beimel. one person picked up on it. another person picked up on it. the next thing, everybody knew who troy from west virginia was. >> sexton posted videos that included everything from him sleeping with az bobblehead of his favorite player tof attending a game with hostile
9:14 pm
fans. >> yeah, i'm kind of weird. i'm kind of odd. i get that. people don't make these videos that i make about the dodgers. that's out there. but, you know, there's nothing criminal about being weird or odd or a little bit different. >> but according to authorities, one of sexton's posts to a social media site on the day he was arrested crossed the line. in the message, sexton said he was about to disguise himself as a reds fan and trespass as the ballpark. but his statement that he would be shattering lives prompted someone to alert the ballpark and the authorities. >> anybody with common sense can see it was screaming with sarcasm. trespassing does not destroy people's lives. i was just really laying the sarcasm on super thick. >> prosecutors were not amused.
9:15 pm
two days after sexton's arrest, his misdemeanor charges of trespassing and obstruction were dropped and replaced with a felony charge of burglary. >> burglary technically is entering a structure with the intent to commit a carolina. now, apparently he had made some veiled threats online before going to the ballpark about shattering lives and some other comments. in this day and age, you go to a ballpark and you say you're going to hurt a bunch of people, you're going to be charged with a crime. that's what they decided to charge him with. >> i think they're doing this basically because they don't like me. because i can come across as a bit of a prick, i guess, at times. even like the most i made, that was pricky, smart-ass kind of thing to do. poking fun at the system. >> this isn't the first time sexton has been upset with the system. five years earlier, he was arrested for a domestic battery incident with his kids that he says was exaggerated. >> at a football practice, i got
9:16 pm
a little upset, and i guess one kid on one side of the fence and me there, and i pushed him down on a football practice. and one child was -- one of my sons was, you know, crying, laying there on the field. i just when i picked him up, i did it by the ankle and took a few steps and the next thing i know, i'm all over the media. it's just totally blown out of proportion. you would have thought that i nearly would have killed my kids at a football practice the way they blew this up. >> sexton pled no contest to domestic battery and was sentenced to 30 days in jail. but he says resentment over the incident later led him to make false 911 and videotape the responding officers. >> i was mocking how the press and the police portrayed the incident with my kids at the football practice. i was saying, oh, my god, i think i nearly killed my kids. i threw him over a fence. oh, god, they're dying. they're dead. something like that. you know, it was stupid. i shouldn't have done it. >> sexton pled guilty to making
9:17 pm
false calls to 911 and was given probation. >> why do that? >> what would possess me to call the police when there's nothing there? it was just me just being a smart ass basically. it was like, you know, you portrayed me as this person i'm not. you made claims that weren't true. so i'll pretend they're true, do something about it. >> you know it's against the law. >> yeah, it's against the law, but i guess, you know, in my mind i look at it as not being that serious. >> facing the possibility of three years in prison for felony burglary has sexton considering a change in behavior. >> hopefully maybe i can just be able to avoid jail time and do what i need to do and get on the straight and nart rrow and not goofy anymore. stay away from the alcohol. don't do stupid stuff no more. when somebody says don't do something, don't do it. start having respect for
9:18 pm
authority, i guess. i just have to suck it up and do it. >> coming up, troy sexton decides he needs a new lawyer. >> i understand that. i'm with you -- >> i know. i know. it's frustrating. >> deandre kelley is sentenced. >> after i heard that, i was like, wow. just staring out the window. >> and his girlfriend ends up in the jail, but it's not for a visit. >> i'm facing 30 days, and i think i'm going to be doing 30 days because i don't feel like i need to apologize. (cell phone rings) where are you? well the squirrels are back in the attic. mom? your dad won't call an exterminator... can i call you back, mom? he says it's personal this time... if you're a mom, you call at the worst time. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. where are you? it's very loud there. are you taking a zumba class?
9:21 pm
>> at the hamilton county justice center in cincinnati, deandre kelley has learned of his fate after pleading no contest to reckless homicide and possession of a weapon by a felon and the shooting death of his 11-year-old daughter, shanti. the judge decides to give him the maximum sentence of six years. >> i came back to the cell. after i heard that, i was like wow.
9:22 pm
just staring out the window, thinking, man, this ain't good. i was so emotional, i didn't really want to talk to nobody. i really just wanted to close my door and stay in here by myself because you're not supposed to crying in front of no other men. >> kelley wasn't the other one overcome with emotion after the sentencing. his girlfriend, and shanti's mother, christina lanza, and her friends and family were in the courtroom and made their displeasure with the sentence known. >> i allowed the defendant's family to speak on his behalf, but they were very disruptive during that process. on the way out, i told them specifically that if you scream one more time, if you shout one more time, i'm going to find you in contempt. and as they were going out the door, got into the hallway, they were screaming at the top of their lungs. >> christina lanza, what's your birth date?
9:23 pm
>> lanza and her friend danielle lott were taken from the courtroom and booked into the jail and charged with contempt of court for shouting that kelley's sentence was excessive and that there had been no justice. >> and we feel like there was no ju justice. they maxed him out on both charges. i would thought he would have at least got four years. i would have been happy with four, but six, i think, is extremely too much. for his own baby. he's sentenced the rest of his life anyway. no amount of time is going to give him the grief he's already got. >> where is the justice in this? if you're going to do something, do it right. i told her that the judges will be judged first. >> i'm just thinking while i was walking out, i hope they just shut up because they can get charged. and what do you know? there she goes. she in jail. i'm in jail.
9:24 pm
that ain't no good, man. >> were you angry at deandre when this happened? >> i was very angry when it first happened. it took me a while, but i know deep down in my heart, he did not mean to do it, and i was outside. he did not mean to kill our baby. it was a total accident. >> when somebody shoots a gun on purpose, he did not accidentally shoot the weapon. he deliberately shot that gun into what they claim is the air. but when you're in a residential neighborhood, that bullet could very likely end up in a house as it did here and killed his own daughter. did he intend to? no. but it was not an accidental shooting. it was a deliberate shooting. not only was he drink, but he was under a court order not to even possess or own a gun. >> though lanza believes kelley did not mean to kill their daughter, she wasn't comfortable with him owning a gun. >> that night occurred.
9:25 pm
it was an argument due to he brought a gun into my house, and i made him leave. >> how do you feel about guns? >> i don't like 'em. i don't think anybody should be having one. and he's got another son that was killed. so he's lost his oldest and his youngest. so you cannot imagine how he's feeling. >> i hate guns now. i would never touch a gun again for the rest of my life because, to me, that life is over. >> that night, i didn't get to tell shanti i love her. so now i tell my other kids every day that i love them because you never know when somebody is going to be tooken
9:26 pm
from you. >> lanza and lott could face up to 30 days in jail for the contempt charge. judge allen has given them the opportunity to apologize in court the following day, in which case they could be released with time served. >> i'm facing 30 days. and i think i'm going to be doing 30 days because i don't feel like i need to apologize. >> coming up. >> for misbehavior in the presence of the court -- >> christina lanza and danielle lott face the judge. >> i would like to give you two the opportunity to speak and tell me why you should not be punished further than you have been. >> and. >> i'm going to be a mentor that i can teach these people to stay away from negative actions. >> a former pro football player now plays the role of mentor. >> this is all about change. announcer: if the hardest part of your day

at least eight people are dead after a tornado swept through north texas. five of those deaths were motorists caught on a highway in the town of garland north east of dallas. the national weather service says it has 11 preliminary tornado reports that have yet to be confirmed. damage is extensive in several towns with dozens of homes destroyed, power lines down and flooding in high-water areas. we'll continue to monitor this story throughout the night for you. for now, back to lockup. >> due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is advised. >> twice a week at the hamilton county justice center in cincinnati, ohio, the jail welcomes a volunteer from one of the city's beloved sports teams. david fullture used to spend his sundays just a mile away, playing football for the
9:31 pm
cincinnati bengals. now he runs one of the jail's most popular programs. >> my program, mana, which is mentoring against negative actions, speaks for itself. i'm going to be a mentor that i can teach these people to stay away from negativity and stay away from negative actions because their involvement in the world is all about negativity. do i make the right decisions all the time? no, i don't. but my decisions, once i retired from football, was about my wife, my son, and my daughter. every day i get up in the morning, i come to work. i do things for them. it's not about me no more. >> he is very dedicated, and he helps these young men address real problems and issues in a real-time in their lives. he has a great success in creating a different mind set for these guys. >> there's 11 steps in the program. they've got to take the information that they've gotten through those 11 weeks and make a change.
9:32 pm
but also during graduation, they have to have a game plan, a plan of if they were released today or tomorrow, what would their plan be? can you live a new life with the old one? >> no. >> it's got to go. >> wait a minute. wait a minute. we got a yes, you can. >> you got to know the old you so you know what not to do. >> no. listen to the question. can you live a new life with the old you? >> yeah. >> no, you can't. you can't. this is all about change. mana is not about some program that just automatically makes somebody somebody different. if i give you the tools to drive the car, i give you the keys to drive the car, it's your turn to drive. >> while fulcher's status as a pro football player helps him relate to those in his class, another inmate's obsession with sports landed him in jail. troy sexton hopes he's not here long enough to enroll in mana,
9:33 pm
but its message of turning away from negative actions might be something to heed. >> i've definitely learned it's time to put an end to posting on any internet sites because who knows how people are going to take it. >> sexton was arrested two weeks earlier after posting what prosecutors say was a threatening message on the internet. then attending a reds versus dodgers game in violation of a lifetime ban from the park. a grand jury has just indicted him on felony burglary, and facing the prospect of three years in prison if found guilty, sexton says he and his family are getting serious about what kind of lawyer they use. >> i talked to my dad. i don't know. he just wants to make sure that we have somebody that can fall back on it, that would definitely get this taken care of. he didn't want somebody -- he wanted somebody with influence. >> now sexton must inform his current lawyer, michael bryce keller, that he's being replaced. >> i guess my dad is thinking i should get with somebody with
9:34 pm
more experience and who is more in the loop. >> right. that's what he told me. i haven't talked to this guy, and right now i'm technically your attorney. so it's up to you. if you tell me that you don't want me to be your attorney, then i can withdraw. but i would suggest that we do that simultaneous with the new attorney taking over your case. you're going to be up for a bond review later this week when you're actually arraigned. it will be your felony arraignment, and it will an opportunity for bond review. i don't know that they're going to reduce your bond, though. >> they know what they're doing. they know i'm no threat. they're just being pricks because they can. they don't like me. it's that simple. i guarantee it. you can watch my youtube channel. i'm a decent guy, fun-loving, whatever. it's nothing there. nobody can read that quote that has a reasonable mind and think i was there to shatter lives. it's not right what they're doing. this stuff shouldn't happen in the united states of america.
9:35 pm
it was my personal facebook page. i didn't throw it out there for the world to see. >> i understand that. i'm with you -- >> it's frustrating. it's just ridiculous. >> right. and we tried to communicate to the judge about the bond. you didn't have weapons. this was in jest, and it was a joke. >> and they didn't believe it, right? apparently not. the quality of a lawyer shouldn't matter. it should not matter, or who they know, but in this [ bleep ] system of ours, that's how it is. okay. well, there's nothing else to say. >> all right. i've developed some defenses on your behalf and some things that we could have used moving forward, and i'll be happy to communicate those to your new attorney so that i can help in any way i can. >> all right. >> all right. >> thanks. >> thank you, mr. sexton. >> mm-hmm. >> he was actually charged and
9:36 pm
indicted by the grand jury, and we discussed whether he was going to hire a more senior attorney to take over his case. and that appears to be what the situation is going to be because of the publicity of the case and because the reds were the victim. in cincinnati, that's a big deal. >> i hate the system. i mean this stuff should not happen in the united states of america. you know, in canada, this wouldn't happen. in any civilized country in this world, i wouldn't be sitting here talking to you. here i am almost two weeks into jail for what? for trespassing? everybody knows it's bull [ bleep ]. these people that are going after me know it's bull [ bleep ]. they don't care. >> why do they do it? >> they don't like me. they don't give a [ bleep ] this could destroy me, destroy my wife, my kids' future. they don't care. >> christina lanza and her friend, danielle lott just spent
9:37 pm
the night in the jail's intake unit after being arrested and charged with contempt of court after a series of outbursts after deandre kelley was sentenced to six years for the accidental shooting death of their 11-year-old daughter. >> how was last night for you? >> kind of rough. i haven't slept. i don't like it. they treat you like animals in here, and i would never come back here. >> people that don't come in here very often usually are surprised that they have to sleep on the floor, sit on the floor, you know, be in a holding tank as opposed to being in an actual cell. we don't have the space for the amount of inmates that come through here on a daily basis. there's just not enough room for them to have a bed. >> my god. >> i know, i know, i know. it's going to be all right.
9:38 pm
i'm ready to go home to our kids and finish grieving. i didn't even finish grieving. >> i slept on the floor, a hard floor. no covers, no nothing. treated like a dog. and i've never been through this. >> they now return to judge nadine allen's courtroom, where they will have the opportunity to apologize for their actions or be sentenced to as many as 30 days in jail. >> under code 2705 for misbehavior in the presence of the court, at this time i do find that they were screaming in the hallway and in the courtroom after i advised them specifically that if they said one more word, shouted one more time, screamed one more time, disrupted the court one more time, i would find them in contempt. but i would like to give you two the opportunity to speak ask tell me why you should not be punished further than you have been. i'll start with christina lanza. you want to say anything today,
9:39 pm
ma'am? >> yes, ma'am. >> what did you want to tell me today? >> i apologize for my actions. i'm still grieving. >> you're still grieving, you said? >> yes. >> i understand that you are grieving. >> and my emotions just got over me. but i do apologize. >>, and ms. lott? ms. danielle lott? >> yes, ma'am. i'm so sorry for doing that in the courtroom. i realize that my emotions took over, and i should have never disrespected you. you are the judge. i should have respected you. this overnight stay has literally -- we was in the jail. i'm so sorry. i'm so, so sorry. >> what is it about the experience overnight in jail that has caused you to calm down today? >> i never, ever -- there was a lot of drug addicts and a lot of different type of things around me, and i just -- that's not the life i want to live, and i should have respected what you
9:40 pm
said. i have five children. i have no respect like this at all. >> i appreciate that. so at this time, i'm accepting your apologies. i think in the future if you're ever in a courtroom, you will be respectful. i'm going to give you credit for the one day served, and i'm letting you go right now. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you, counsels, for being present. >> we get to go home. >> to our babies. >> how do you guys feel right now? >> good. >> good. relieved. this morning we talked by ourselves for a little while. >> we knew what we did was wrong. >> we shouldn't have did that. i mean she was only doing her job. i mean -- >> she did her job. >> i would have locked us up, too.
9:41 pm
>> you understand why they kept you, right? >> yes. >> take a right. they have to protect the court from being made a mockery of. >> you're right. >> if everybody acted like that, then there would be no order. >> you're right. >> i've lost somebody i've been with for 15 years of my life, and now i've lost my youngest baby. deandre will come back. shanti will never come back. >> coming up. >> troy sexton, you've been indicted with one count burglary. how do you plead? >> troy sexton faces the judge. >> to me, that was like so overdramatic. it sounded like, oh, my god, this guy is terrible. he did something awful.
9:45 pm
>> at the hamilton county justice center in cincinnati, it's been 16 days since troy sexton was arrested at a baseball game between the reds and the dodgers. and he hasn't stopped talking about it. >> they charged me with a felony, an f-3. >> f-3 what? >> burglary. they've charged me with -- keep in mind, i paid $170 to get into the stadium. they are charging me with burglary. >> sexton was charged with burglary, which is legally defined as unlawfully entering a structure with the intent to commit a crime, after he posted a message on line that included a reference to shattering lives at the game. >> you know what my bond is now? >> what? >> 75 thousands. they upped it to $75,000. >> they haven't gave you a 10%? >> no. full $75,000. no. 100%. >> troy is not the typical guy i
9:46 pm
see in here, not at all. troy is the exact opposite. you know, they're laid back people. they don't really speak with their hands. >> make a long story short. >> not real loud like he is because they know they're in a small room. he doesn't recognize he's in a small room. there's a lot of stuff you see a lot of people do that let you know they haven't done much time. troy is definitely one of those people. >> no, i didn't break and enter because i paid for the ticket. >> while sexton now faces the pocket of up to three years in prison, he has been waiting for his arraignment, where he plans to enter a plea of not guilty and hopes to have his bond reduced so he can post bail. >> we're hoping it will get lowered. so much crazyiness has happened, they could actually raise it. if they do that, i could stuck here for months.
9:47 pm
>> a few hours later, sexton is called to his arraignment, which will be conducted over a video feed from a room in the jail. while an attorney from the public defender's office supervises the process, sexton's newly hired attorney is present in the courtroom to speak on his behalf. >> he's standing right there. see him? >> yeah. >> good morning. number 87, troy sexton. >> troy sexton, you've been indicted with one count burglary. have you received a copy of your indictment? >> yes. i got it yesterday. >> and how do you plead? >> he pleads not guilty. >> anything else? >> yes, judge. we would just like to address the issue of bond briefly, sir. >> yes, sir. >> it's currently $75,000 straight, your honor. be we're asking the court to consider making the bond a 10% bond, perhaps $75,000 at 10%. >> yes, judge. i have here that the defendant had been previously banned from
9:48 pm
the ballpark. he started posting some disturbing messages on social media. he actually follows the dodger team, and the dodgers team aware of the items he was posting on social media, at which time they contacted the ballpark to put them on alert. he was saying things, like i hope people are sorry for what i'm about to do. i know i'm shattering lives tonight, and in the next couple of days, i don't expect for the victims to ever forgive me, but maybe god will come judgment today. he was not to be back in the ball bark, somehow was able to get in. started to cause a disturbance yet again. was taken into custody by officers. refused to cooperate with officers. wouldn't tell them who he was or any identifying information. at this point he wasn't cooperating. we'd ask that you leave the bond the same. >> all right. i'll make this a 10%, but i'm going to put some conditions on this. number one, he is not to enter any baseball park, whether it's major league, minoror league,
9:49 pm

he was arrested as a reds versus dodgers game after he posted a message online that suggested he would be shattering lives at the game. he was later charged with felony burglary and given a $75,000 bond. but his new lawyer was able to convince the judge to lower the bond so that sexton need only come up with 10% or $7,500 to be released until his trial begins. but the opportunity came with some conditions. >> the judge said i'm not to attend any sporting events of any kind, at any level. little league stuff to the professional stuff, whether it be tennis. he might even be talking about a chess tournament. if there's a chess tournament, i'm not even going to that. like my daughter's in the band, you know, football season will start in august, and the band participates in a couple of the middle school games. i'm not going to be allowed to go. >> to your kid's own games? >> if you knew my history, maybe you'd understand why. >> sexton now waits for his father to pay his bond and take
