00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, a beautiful co ed found

2
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: dead in a pool of blood. She was murdered.

3
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 2: She was forced out of bed naked to kneel at

4
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: the feet of her killer, and he shoots her point

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: blank in cold blood. He comes in, finds this beautiful girl,

6
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: a co ed, and murders her.

7
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 3: Now she's dead, her father looking for answers. Joining me

8
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,920

Speaker 4: You for having me. Really appreciate you taking the time

11
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 4: to care about Logan's story.

12
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 3: Please do not thank me, number one. Okay, talking to

13
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 3: you inspires us, it angers us, it gives us the

14
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 3: energy to keep going. So please tell me what happened,

15
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 3: starting with the moment you learned something very horrible had occurred.

16
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 4: Well, obviously, you know may third changed our lives for

17
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 4: the rest of our lives. But one thing everybody has

18
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 4: to make I want to make something perfectly clear, and

19
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 4: we found this out a couple of weeks ago. My

20
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 4: beautiful daughter wasn't murdered in her sleep, Okay. When he

21
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 4: entered the room, she woke and approached him, and he

22
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 4: made her get on her knees. Naked with her hands

23
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 4: up in front of her, stuck a shotgun in her

24
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 4: left cage under her breast, and pulled the trigger, levi

25
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 4: an itch half whole in her chest. That's what happened,

26
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 4: was a premeditated execution. The day we found out that

27
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 4: changed everything, May third was a horrible day. But at

28
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 4: the end of the day, what we're finding out and

29
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 4: realizing now makes it traumatically worse.

30
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 5: How many of y'all have kids, I'm just curious. Here's

31
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 5: what I need you to do when I tell you

32
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 5: this story. Think about your kids. Think about your child

33
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 5: coming home from a night out with their friends, laying down,

34
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 5: going to sleep, feeling somebody come in the room and

35
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 5: wake them and drag her out of bed, naked, forced

36
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 5: on her knees with her hands over her head, begging

37
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 5: for her life, begging for her hero, her father me,

38
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 5: that couldn't be there. She was five foot three, she

39
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 5: weighed one hundred and fifteen pound. Bang dead gone. Why

40
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 5: because Alexander Devonte Dickey, who was arrested thirty nine times

41
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 5: twenty five felonies, was on the street. How about that?

42
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 5: How good are we doing for our family? How good

43
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 5: are you doing for your kids. He should have been

44
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 5: in jail for over one hundred and forty years for

45
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 5: all the crimes he committed. You know how much time

46
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 5: he's spent in prison, a little over six hundred days

47
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 5: in ten years. He's only thirty years old. He was

48
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 5: committing two point sixty five crimes a year since he

49
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 5: was fifteen years old. But nobody could figure out that

50
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 5: he couldn't be rehabilitated. He'd have to put him in

51
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 5: prison to see if he could be rehabilitated. Isn't that

52
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 5: the idea of prison? But no, my daughter wanted to

53
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 5: be a teacher. She finally figured it out two weeks

54
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 5: before she was executed. And I haven't heard a damn

55
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 5: word from Byron Gibson in South Carolina, not one word,

56
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 5: four months, no communication. His biggest concern was that he

57
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 5: was pissed off about my interview and how I made

58
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 5: him look on the Fox News Channel with Trey Gowdi.

59
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 5: How pathetic is that that we're letting our twenty two

60
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 5: year old kid visiting friends. It's all she ever wanted

61
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 5: to do was visit friends, and she literally was executed

62
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 5: while on her knees, begging for her life. Her name's

63
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 5: logan Federico, not irena, and you will not forget her.

64
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 5: I promise you you will be sick and tired of

65
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 5: my face and my voice until this gets fixed. I

66
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 5: will fight until my last breath for my daughter. You

67
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 5: need to fight for the rest of our children, the

68
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 5: rest of the innocence, and stop protecting the people that

69
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 5: keep taking them from us. Please, you have the power.

70
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 5: We put you in the power to do what you

71
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 5: have to do. We're asking you, we're begging you all

72
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 5: to stop this.

73
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: Mister Federico, what is your message tonight? And do you

74
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: believe the state will seek the death penalty in this case?

75
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 4: You know that's a tough question. We've had. Like I said,

76
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 4: we've had no contact with them since May fifth. From

77
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 4: what I read the research, I do No, they're not

78
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 4: going to Why From what I understand, he's never asked

79
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 4: for the death penalty in any cases. He doesn't believe

80
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 4: in the death penalty?

81
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: What what? What?

82
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 4: What?

83
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: Wait? What?

84
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 3: Wait?

85
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 5: What?

86
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 3: The elected district attorney doesn't quote believe in the death

87
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: penalty from what I.

88
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 4: Understand, and and and my point to that is this,

89
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 4: if you follow the law, Okay, he dots all the

90
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 4: I's and crosses all the teas for this punishment, like

91
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 4: this punishment fits the crime. That this isn't one of

92
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 4: those things where you're going to come to me and say, hey,

93
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 4: he'll admit to the murder if if, if you let

94
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 4: them live. No thanks, no deal. He deserves the death

95
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 4: penalty because he took someone's life. He's he can't be rehabilitated.

96
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 4: He's proven that time and time again. These solicitors have

97
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 4: lessened his charges, so he spent zero time in jail

98
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 4: most of the time. And this is why we're at

99
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 4: where we are. This is why he had access to

100
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 4: my daughter. This is why. It's not because my daughter

101
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 4: was at University of South Carolina, and it's because that

102
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 4: piece was okay. And there's a reason why he was there.

103
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 4: There's a reason why he has a gun. There's a

104
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 4: reason why he had access. The keyword to this case

105
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 4: is access, period. And there are many people in the

106
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 4: Lexington area that are responsible for Logan's execution. They have

107
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 4: blood on their hands. They just didn't pull the trigger,

108
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 4: but they gave him the opportunity to do so. And

109
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 4: that is it. Period. They could back it up all

110
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 4: they want for the rest of their lives. They should

111
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 4: feel guilty for the rest of their lives. This should

112
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 4: haunt them, from the frat brothers to the owner of

113
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 4: the gun, to the sheriff's department, the frigging solicitors, the

114
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 4: judges that all led a career criminal on the streets

115
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 4: that didn't have to be there and factually should not

116
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 4: have been there. But you know what, you know what

117
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 4: gets votes, Nancy, What gets votes are convictions. And you

118
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 4: know what easy convictions are when you make a deal

119
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 4: with somebody. That's what you call patting.

120
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 5: The numbers thirty nine crimes in ten years, twenty five felonies.

121
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 5: Can anybody here explain to me, well, how possibly he

122
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 5: could be on the street, possibly be on the street?

123
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 5: How is it possible? I could sit down a room

124
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 5: and I can explain the whole process I have it failed?

125
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 5: How South Carolina failed?

126
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 4: Logan?

127
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 5: Okay, how lack of communication? What y'all did? You woke

128
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 5: up a beast and you pissed off the wrong daddy?

129
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 5: Because I'm gonna put it out there and I'm not

130
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 5: going to be quiet until somebody helps. Logan deserves to

131
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 5: be heard. Everyone on this panel deserves to be heard,

132
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 5: and we will trust me. My daughter laid on the

133
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 5: floor for seven hours before somebody in that house recognized

134
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 5: that something was wrong and that curer criminal an hour later,

135
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 5: went on a spending spree with her debit card. When

136
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 5: they saw his face on a video, they didn't have

137
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 5: to do a check. He was arrested so many times.

138
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 5: They knew who he was, They knew exactly where to

139
00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 5: go get him. Pathetic, absolutely pathetic that I'm here today.

140
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 5: Thank you for your time.

141
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 3: We wait as justice unfolds. Nancy Grace signing off, good

142
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 3: night friend,
