12:48 pm
she's always included and the kids ask all the time. all the time mother's day was always pretty difficult. part of the questions what kind of questions with. the more questions you know how soon they are doing was last time we talked to nana are we when are we going to be able to go . you know. how come we can't go. and the best we can do is to just explain it to them. these are the rules that they have set up and we can't change their. juval only has one picture of her mother taken by a guard from the other side of the visiting room with a jacket to hide her prisoners clothes she's always alone contact with other death row prisoners is not allowed. she's in a cell. all day off 23 hours a day. nonstop. and the one hour that she

12:52 pm
to secure the sovereignty of this nation and that's what we're going to do and we will win this war there's a shot of for a minute an american defense. plane wallace like other militia members doesn't believe shawna forde is a murderer. she thinks she was settling scores between opposing cartels and that she was the scapegoats for the murders. this is the house where the air of ark of massacre happened at about 12 45 am on a friday night. several intruders burst into that house they were supposedly pretending to be border patrol and were dressed as border patrol and they shot the husband they shot the wife and they shot the 9 year old daughter the wife survived she was shot in the head like the daughter and the husband were. shannon ford was never positively identified by the surviving with this so there were definitely 2
12:53 pm
men there and one woman and there were additional parties as well she's didn't know if there was she said there might have been 4 or 5 people there but she couldn't describe them. resign your fluoresce 9 and her father role florence died on the spot with a bullet in the head the only survivor of the massacre gina gonzales mother shot in the leg she pretended to be dead during the shooting before calling for help. i don't know where you think. they shot them the way to where were they. in the head in the head there the people who were there at that shot of. the cover back there. on the phone the assailants who heard her came back inside the house to eliminate the only survivor to defend herself.
12:54 pm
picked up her husband's weapon and started firing a man who was injured in the leg. you can clearly hear the voice of the woman on the recording a voice that could belong to shawna forde. how many people were there i don't know. like males are talking but there were the male and there were all men. ok now the woman who let it. take me. home and. taking leave is just coming in to join us for new israel 3 people have been arrested in connection with a deadly home invasion. your highly publicized trial. he was sentenced to death for the double homicide despite the fact that gina gonzales the
12:55 pm
only survivor was never able to formally identify her nor to say exactly how many killers were in the house. chris ackerley sana for his lawyer believes there is no evidence that his client was present at the scene of the kind. which he claims prove shauna for its innocence. we see a mysterious woman carrying a weapon similar to the one found at a scene of the kind. this woman's identity is still unknown today. in the 1st place gina guns all as she was uncertain if it was one woman in her house or 2 women because the woman who was initially there went outside and a few minutes later a woman came in who was dressed completely differently and had her hair done completely different way and she identified her as being
12:56 pm
a heavy set short one with blondish brown hair now we can prove. that these photographs were taken the night before the flores homicides occurred the jury never saw those photographs looks to me like a short heavy set woman with blondish brown hair that is not shown up for we don't know who it is there is a shotgun there and $357.00 caliber revolver. now 20 minutes after the homicides occurred this weapon. was found in the forest front yard this is also. 357 handgun with a finger and intuitions i believe that shawna forde was not present when these homicides occurred she was.
12:57 pm
this is. we requested an interview with death row inmates are not allowed interviews in arizona. after months of waiting we were finally granted permission to talk to her on the phone. tactics that can be used to get innocent people to confess to crimes they didn't commit i don't even think people in the us really get the. person who. actually came to believe they were told. the case is closed nobody really can tell the difference between.
12:58 pm
world is. shaped by those. thinks. we are there to ask. for it. ily
12:59 pm
. let's compare biden he comes into office potentially and this means. a repeat of 2008 remember obama took office because obama was a pretty young guy the timing didn't come through financing. a law student then very good with constitutional law but he didn't know anything about wall street he kind of threw the keys of wall street over larry summers and all these other folks and they went ahead and they created the global financial crisis. after a fact that seemed to benefit the heirs in a remarkable way remember the billionaires after the 2008 crisis quadruple and more
1:00 pm
of their wealth. vast swathes of the american population went bankrupt or lost their house so i'm pretty sure going to see a repeat of that. i hope that all the steps we have taken recently will eat the establishment of a long term piece of the benefits both azerbaijan and armenia russian peacekeepers head to the. after a peace deal is signed. but the terms have been met with resistance in europe. i know i. think. protesters stormed parliament on government buildings in the armenian
