That's not true, because 8 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 1: it did happen to me. I grew up in a 9 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 1: world with no crime. I didn't even know anything about crime, 10 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 1: out basically in the middle of nowhere, where as far 11 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: as the eye could see were tall pine trees and 12 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: soybean fields, and we all came home in the afternoon 13 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,959 Speaker 1: to the sound of the chimes in the church steeple. 14 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: I went away to college and fell in love, and 15 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: shortly before our wedding, my fiancee was murdered. It shattered 16 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: my world and everything I understood to be true. After 17 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: that long, dark struggle, I finally re emerged to go 18 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: to law school and become a felony prosecutor and finally 19 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: felt like a bird out of a cage.
