hi. my name is laura michaels. i'm an assistant district attorney. am-am i gonna be arrested and-and fingerprinteddand ? north carolina has issued what is called a jaja doe warrant in the liquor store robberies that the detectives talked to you about. they've asked me to condudu an interview to determine whether you should be tried in that case or held as a material witness. , and neither one of us done anything wrong. would you like to have an attorney with you? no, thank you. according to the statement you gave to detective medavoy and officer martinez, you waited in the car outside the liquor store while calvin james was inside? - yes, ma'am. - you have no idea what transpired in the store? n-no, ma'am. only what they told me.

well-- [ michaels ] go ahead. he wanted to know if i would have sex he said i didn't have to if i didn't want to, but that if i did, he would give me a hundred dollars.s. i was grateful to him, and i kinda liked him. and the money'd sure b ba big help, so i did it. but that prostituting was the only crime i've ever done in my whole life. and i wouldn't have taken the money if it weren't for kyle. bought myself some shoes and a dress with it to go look for work in, 'cause you gotta have a good appearance for a job. would you be willing to testify against mr. james if this matter were to come to trial? oh, i'd-- i'd feel real bad about it, but i don't wanna go to jail and be away from my boy.

kathy, there's some steps we have to take now on deciding how to proceed on your case. it might take some time. i'd be grateful for anything you can do for us. - hi, mommy. - there's a party for little kids downstairs later on. it might be nice for kyle. oh. do you have an idea for a present he might like? there's a toy he'd just die for. it's, um-- it's called a power ranger. yeah, i've seen that. you know, i'd like to say st people i've ever met. i'm gonna go call my boss. excuse me. [ martinez ] go ahead. hey, babab so, was he any trouble? oh, none at all. we made snowmen. uh, we believe this woman, lieutenant.
