00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: who later took them to I Hop for breakfast. However,

78
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: things took a dark turn when Brower offered them marijuana

79
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: laced with finoneil, causing them to fall asleep. Cameron woke

80
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: up to find his best friend being stabbed by Brower,

81
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: who showed no remorse during the attack. The surviving man

00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: said the two had been huddled up at a bus

83
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,440

84
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: wanted to go for a hot breakfast at I Hop.

85
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: Brower told police he started thinking the men should die

86
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,120

00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: during breakfast he felt the urge to kill them, and

88
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: then daring the attack, he said he felt like he

89
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: was having an out of body experience. Despite Brower's claims

90
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: of hallucinations and drug induced violence, the court found him

91
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,160

92

93
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,720

00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: the attack, was deeply traumatized by the incident and spoke

95
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: out about the loss of his dear friend. During the sentencing,

96
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,080

97
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,080

Speaker 1: the court, emphasizing the impact of Brower's action on their lives, saying,

100
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,240
