1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: The Michael Barry Shoe.

2
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 2: Three and a half years ago, Jeffrey Johnson was murdered

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 2: as his home in League City in June of twenty

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 2: twenty one. The man who was charged and arrested, Devon Jordan,

5
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: was granted a bond, which he posted, and he was

6
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: out on multiple bonds having murdered somebody until the trial

7
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: started October twenty eighth, just a few weeks ago. He

8
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 2: should have never been on the street in the first place.

9
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 2: This is where this whole thing goes wrong. During the

10
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: crime spree of Devon Jordan two weeks before he killed

11
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Johnson Josh Sandoval. In both cases, he followed the

12
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: He followed the victims to their homes to rob them,

13
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 2: but the robberies were botched and he murdered them. Should

14
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: have never been on the street again. Should have been

15
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: thrown away. Well, we got a guilty verdict, which doesn't

16
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: bring Jeffrey Johnson back, but it's a step in the

17
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 2: right direction. Amy Castillo is Jeffrey Johnson's sister. Amy, Welcome

18
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: to the program.

19
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 3: No, I'm sorry, I'm not his sister. I was. I'm Josh.

20
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: I'm sorry you're Josh Sandeval. I'm sorry. I did know

21
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: that I'm looking at my nose. I was thinking of

22
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: my own brother and imagining the grief my mistake. You're

23
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: Josh's sister. You were in the courtroom when the verdict

24
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: came back, and I know you said to Randy Wallace, who,

25
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: by the way, Randy Wallace has done a wonderful job

26
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: on this story. Randy Wallace at Fox twenty six as

27
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: part of their Breaking Bond series, that you were told

28
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: you couldn't react. I have a problem with that. But

29
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 2: how did you feel knowing that this monster had been convicted.

30
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: Oh, it was just a huge weight lifted off our shoulders.

31
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 3: I had been praying relentlessly for a very long time,

32
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 3: and then when the trial started, hearing both sides, I

33
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 3: was there for a little bit of the days, and

34
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 3: going back on Tuesday yesterday and hearing the verdict, I

35
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 3: just was. I was very excited to hear that the jury,

36
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 3: the jury was right. You know, they made the right decisions.

37
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: I was a little nervous, but I know, I just

38
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 3: I prayed a lot, and they made the right decisions,

39
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 3: and I was I was just very excited, And yeah,

40
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 3: I couldn't. I couldn't respond react. I just mouthed like

41
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: thank you or yes or something to that effect, and

42
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: I just started crying.

43
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: Were you by yourself?

44
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: No, I wasn't by myself. I had my husband with me,

45
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 3: and I was there to support mister Johnson's family. Number One.

46
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: I know that this was their their case, this was

47
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: their father and their husband, and I didn't want to

48
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 3: step on anybody's toes, but I just wanted to show

49
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: them my support. And they knew who I was from

50
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 3: the commercials, and then I also, you know, introduced myself

51
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: and told him who I was, and they knew my

52
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: brother's name, and so they understood. While we were all

53
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 3: there together, it was mister Johnson's family as well.

54
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: Tell me about Josh Sandoval, Who was he? What kind

55
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: of person was he? Tell me what y'all did together?

56
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: Tell me about your bond.

57
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: Well, I was ten years older than my brother, so

58
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 3: I kind of took care of him, and I have

59
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 3: really good memories of taking care of him and baby

60
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 3: fitting him, and he was just the cutest little baby

61
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: in the whole world. And he grew up to be

62
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 3: such an amazing person, and he loved to play basketball,

63
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 3: he loved hanging out with his friends. I mean, he

64
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 3: just did you know, typical young twenties stuff. Just everybody

65
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 3: loved him. He could never do anything ill towards anybody.

66
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 3: He was always laughing, cracking jokes, just a smile on

67
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 3: his face, just all the time. He just was an

68
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 3: amazing person. And it saddens me that I don't get

69
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 3: to see him smile or laugh anymore. I don't know

70
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 3: what his future would have been because he was murdered

71
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 3: at twenty eight.

72
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: Tell me what happened.

73
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: Well, he was targeted and followed home and when they

74
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: went in through their garage, his garage, and I'm not

75
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 3: sure how it all happened, but he was shot and

76
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 3: they ran off and the person that was there in

77
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 3: the town home with him called the ambulance. He was

78
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: shot in the heart. One of the last things he

79
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: said was till my till my girlfriend, I love her,

80
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 3: till my mama, I love her. And then he never

81
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 3: said seeing it.

82
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: And then when you have to process that, he goes

83
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: off and killed another person and does what he's done

84
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: to your family to another family, and you see Harris

85
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: County judge and a Galveston judge letting him out to

86
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 2: walk the streets pending his trial.

87
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: I can't I can't imagine how that has to feel.

88
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 2: I mean that the sense of I don't know, is

89
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: it betrayal, is it frustration?

90
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: Is it confused?

91
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: Can you help me understand that?

92
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: It's definitely confusion. I understand what you know. Judges have

93
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 3: to do, or I think they have to do, but

94
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 3: it's it's it does feel like a backstab to set

95
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 3: a bond at such a price that they could afford it.

96
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 3: You know, I'm under the impression that they have discretion

97
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 3: when it's capital murder, so why not say no bond?

98
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: He bonded out both times, so obviously this person could

99
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 3: have had the opportunity to walk around and be in

100
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 3: public with everybody else. I just feel that it was

101
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 3: a shame that they didn't take into consideration his past.

102
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 3: I guess activity to see, maybe this person shouldn't be

103
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 3: out because we know what he's doing when he's not

104
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 3: in jail. So it did just feel like we were

105
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 3: not cared about.

106
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: I guess you've spoken out.

107
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: You have.

108
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 2: Of course people will criticize you for that, but you

109
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: don't seem to care. It's more important, and you have

110
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: shared your story, which is incredibly compelling, and I think

111
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 2: that in so doing you have honored your brother Castillo,

112
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: and I think you've shown incredible courage, and I hope

113
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 2: you have inspired other people. This is our country. We

114
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: have to fix it, and that means we can't hide

115
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: and wait on someone else to do it. I know

116
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: this has been very difficult for you, but on behalf

117
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: of a lot of people, I want to.

118
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,160
