1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: Hi, guys, Nancy Grace here, welcome back to Killers amongst Us, 2 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 1: the production of iHeartMedia and crime online. Hot shot football 3 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 1: star David Temple now the prime suspect and his wife's 4 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 1: gruesome murderer. There's a trial, but the case is not 5 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: a slam duck for prosecutors. But why the story was 6 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: According to David Temple at the very time he was 7 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: out with his sixth son running errands that didn't need 8 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: to be run, a random burglar just happened to break 9 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: into his house and shoots Helinda Temple in the back 10 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: of the head, which is eight months pregnant, while David 11 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: Temple is having an affair with the woman he was 12 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: madly in love with. Police never found a murder weapon 13 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: a twelve gage shotgun. I Nancy Grace and this is 14 00:00:54,440 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: Killers amongst Us held His parents, Tom and Carol Lucas 15 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: suspected David after they learned he had betrayed their daughter. 16 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: Lucases did all they could to keep the case alive. 17 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: They paid for a billboard next to a busy highway, 18 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: and they took television crews to their daughter's gray but 19 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: nothing changed until November two thousand and four. More than 20 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: five years after the murder, when a case in California 21 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: taught the nation's attention. He is charged with killing his 22 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: wife Lacy. Guilty of the crime of murder. Scott Peterson 23 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: was convicted of killing his pregnant wife Lacy. Lucas saw 24 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: parallels to their case and contacted the prosecutors once again. 25 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: Welcome back, I Nancy Grace. This is killers amongst us. 26 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: The mystery surrounding the murder of a beautiful, young, pregnant 27 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: mom of one, Belinda Temple seemingly subsides. Years past, the 28 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: case grows cold. Not only does Scott Peterson and Lacy 29 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: Peterson come to the forefront, but during those years something 30 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: else happens. And in the spring of two thousand and one, 31 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: two years after Belinda's murder, David Temple wed's his girlfriend, Heather. 32 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: Heather and David married in a ceremony a country club 33 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: wedding that her parents threw. Only two of his fellow 34 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: coaches showed up. A lot of them declined the reason 35 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: was that there was this cloud hanging over them from 36 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: Belinda's murder. People were still wondering had David been involved. 37 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: Over the next three years, David and Heather move on 38 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: from the violent crime and happily settle in to their 39 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 1: new life together. Then, in November two thousand and four, 40 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: an event takes place in California that radically changes prosecutors 41 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: understanding of Belinda's case. A jury convicts Scott Peterson of 42 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: murdering his wife, Lacy, who was eight months pregnan. The 43 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: similarities to Belinda Temple's case are striking. Scott Peterson is 44 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: convicted of doing precisely the same thing that they believe 45 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: David is done. You had women who were both pregnant 46 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: about ready to deliver children. Both Scott Peterson and David 47 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: Temple were having affairs at the time that their wives 48 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: were murdered. And suddenly it appears feasible that a jury 49 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: will believe this, that they will understand that David Temple 50 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: may have murdered his wife. Well, that's just a theory. 51 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: There's nothing so far to support a claim that David 52 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: Temple murdered his wife. David Temple going oh with his life, 53 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: marrying his lover, the mistress he had during his marriage 54 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: with Belinda Temple, but still no prosecution. This time. She 55 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: had no murder weapon to work with. You didn't have 56 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: the gun, No no incriminating fingerprints, There is no DNA 57 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: evidence and no eyewitnesses. So what did you have against him? 58 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: A story that he told that never made any sense. 59 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: What didn't make any sense about it? The story was, 60 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: according to David Temple, at the very time he was 61 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: out with his six son running errands that didn't need 62 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: to be run, a random burglar just happened to break 63 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: into his house and shoots Felinda Temple in the back 64 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: of the head when she's eight months pregnant, while David 65 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: Temple is having an affair with the woman he was 66 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: madly in love with. To Catherine Casey, joining us, author 67 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: offs shattered that dissects this case. Well, she's right, it 68 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. But that's not enough for a felony 69 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: murder prosecution. No, but there was that evidence of the 70 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: glass and the question about why the door was open, 71 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: why a burglar would break an open door, and the 72 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: timeline here was really interesting. On Friday January eighth, just 73 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: three days before Belinda's murder, Heather Scott told police that 74 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: David had said that he had totally fallen in love 75 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: with her, and that she said she felt the same way. 76 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: So it was only three days after he pledged his 77 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: loved for another woman that this happened. The likelihood that 78 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: a burglar would pick that day to break into the 79 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: house until Belinda's seemed a little off strange to be blunged. Well, 80 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: there's even more. Did gern buckle up? Was there insurance money? Yeah? 81 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: There was insurance you know, all went almost all went 82 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: to Evan, the the young boy, really because I heard 83 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: only sixty thousand of the two hundred thousand went to 84 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: a trust and that was after twisting somebody's arm. No, 85 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: that's not right. The Temple family and David sought to 86 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: have it put into trust, and part of it went 87 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: to the original attorney in the case. But that's because 88 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: from the very beginning the police were falsely accusing David. 89 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: Why did he need a defense lawyer there at the 90 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: house the night before the funeral? He lawyered up pretty fast, Dick. Well, 91 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: sure it did, because they were accusing him from the beginning, 92 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: and they were accusing him only because they say that 93 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: when a wife has murdered, the husband is always a suspect. 94 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: They didn't have any evidence. Then what about the gunshot powder? 95 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: They don't have any evidence. Now, I don't believe that 96 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: stuff Nancy in the first place. They won't give it 97 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: to us. It won't. I got arrest affidavit right here. Yeah, 98 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: you've got the affidavit, but you don't have the test. 99 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: We've been asking for the test. We filed a motion 100 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: asking that they give us the test. Let us independently 101 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: test it. It came from their test, came from a 102 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: questionable source, the FBI. Are you going to say cross 103 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: contamination because they haven't bought that since they didn't have 104 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: any evidence. Then what about the gunshot powder? They don't 105 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: have any evidence. Now I don't believe that stuff Nancy 106 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: in the first place. They won't give it to us. 107 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: It won't. I got arrest affidavit right here. Yeah, you've 108 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: got the affidavit, but you don't have the test. We've 109 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: been asking for the test. We filed a motion asking 110 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: that they give us the test. Let us independently tested. 111 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: It came from their test, came from a questionable source, 112 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: the FBI. Are you going to say cross contamination because 113 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: I haven't found that since Cochrane set it in the 114 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: j census there. I'm going round and round with a 115 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: defense attorney Dick da gear In, a famous defense attorney. 116 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: To Joseph Scott Morgan forress expert, tell me about the 117 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: gunshot residue. Yeah, the gunshot residue is significant in this case, Nancy, 118 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: just as I'd mentioned that it was deposited on the clothing, 119 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: and the big question is can we trust what the 120 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: findings are relative to the suspect? To Catherine Casey, author, 121 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: I've shattered what's the problem with the findings on gunshot residue? Well, 122 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: there is this theory cross contamination, and the FBI lab 123 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: at that point was having problems with that. The clothing 124 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: was sent off to the FBI lab and they did 125 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: come back and say that they found it on the 126 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: warm up suit or winch that David wore that day 127 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: to school. I don't know, Brandy Key on seeing the 128 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: owner of the Katie Times. Ultimately, was it determined that 129 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: the gunshot residue test showing a residue on David Temple's 130 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: warm up suit was believable or not? Did was it usable? Well? 131 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: The prosecutor certainly believed that it was viable, but they 132 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: didn't necessarily believe that it was usable. Well, actually that 133 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: makes sense to Steve Lampley, detective and author. Sometimes you 134 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: have evidence that you think is very powerful, but you know, 135 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: putting it up in front of a jury is opening 136 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: a can of worms you don't want to open. And 137 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: I really believe that that gunshot residue was very powerful, 138 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: but with all the issues of cross contamination at that 139 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: particular lab, it could have caused more problems for police. 140 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: Then help them as you could have you and you're 141 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: looking at potentially bringing in the FBI experts from the 142 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: lab to explain how they processed it him. And given 143 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: the fact that they were having issues with cross contamination 144 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 1: during that period of time, you're opening up a lot 145 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: of the figure, opening up a lot of gray areas. 146 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes you've got powerful evidence, but it's not 147 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: worth the damage it can do to a case to 148 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: bring it in. So Brandy Keyon seen the owner of 149 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: the Katie Times. Is it true that David Temple the 150 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: night before Belinda's funeral gets a defense lawyer? He does 151 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: a defense lawyer. He actually got a defense lawyer as 152 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: soon as he left the police station. He immediately went 153 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: out and got one Wow, what can you tell me 154 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: about that? Catherine Casey, Well, you know it was an 155 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: odd interview seen that night. They did it at one 156 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: of the substations, and the family half the family show 157 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: it up there and everybody rallied around David. And yes, 158 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: by the time David walked out of the substation, they 159 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: had already put in a call Towood defense attorney. Wow, 160 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: you know, because to Joseph Scott Morgan, I would think 161 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: that a loving husband would do anything to help find 162 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: his wife's killer, not run out and get a defense lawyer. Yeah, 163 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: you would think that, Nancy. But sometimes when you're staring 164 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: down the staring down a detective on the other side 165 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: of the table, it gives you pause, just for a second. 166 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: Are they looking at me? Is this guy bright enough 167 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: to assess that at that moment time or was he 168 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: attempting to hide something that would you know? Otherwise you know, 169 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: thwart what the police are trying to do. It's real 170 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: hard to ascertain that questions swirling. Police doing everything they can, 171 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: building a timeline, canvassing the neighborhood, going door to door, 172 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: bringing in crime scene tech experts, pulling surveillance video. To 173 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: Catherine Casey, another issue is the insurance money. You just 174 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: heard me going around and round with Dick Degeron, And 175 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 1: that's no easy feat about insurance money. Insurance money on 176 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: Belinda Temple's life. Now, ultimately some of that may have 177 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: been put into trust, but the reality is Temple knew 178 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: about it, and he would have control of the money. Well, 179 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: he did know, and he would have control. I don't 180 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: know that money would have been a primary motive, but 181 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: certainly it could have been a factor. He did go 182 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: out after Belinda was murdered, and he bought himself a 183 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: new truck, and people noticed that went out and bought 184 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: a new truck. That doesn't look good. Catherine Casey, I mean, 185 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: maybe I'm just projecting, but after the murder of my fiance, 186 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: just before our wedding, I couldn't even eat. I couldn't 187 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: even think much. Let's go out and buy a new car. 188 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: There was a lot of odd behavior. Neighbors saw David 189 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: and his brothers throwing a football around, kind of tossing 190 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: it back and forth on the front lawn of the 191 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: house where Belinda died two days after the killing, and 192 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: people at school saw Heather and David kind of having 193 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: little Tata tag and talking in the hallways at school. 194 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: Very quickly after David sent Heather flowers for Valentine's Day, 195 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: a month after his wife had been murdered. Okay, just 196 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: stop everything right there, Jesse Scott Morgan, did you hear that? Yes? 197 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: I do, Nancy, Yes I do. It doesn't exactly sound 198 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: like a grieving husband, does it, that you would go 199 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,959 Speaker 1: have your way. Your wife is not even cold in 200 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: the ground at this point metaphorically speaking of course, and 201 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: you go out and you buy somebody flowers. Give me 202 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: a break. And it hasn't even been a month. To 203 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: Catherine Casey, who was taking care of the baby at 204 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: this time, Evan. David and Evan had moved into his parents' 205 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: house and they were helping out with Evan, and Evan 206 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 1: was back at daycare. He was back at Typerland Daycare, 207 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: where he'd been the day of the murder. I guess 208 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: that gives David Temple plenty of time to woo his girlfriend. 209 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: There was a big dichonomy about Heather Scott Listen. Temple's 210 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: defense team says Temple did not kill his wife, and 211 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: his affair with Scott wouldn't have been reason to kill 212 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: anyway because their relationship wasn't serious. Well, Temple is claiming 213 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: he and Heather Scott were not quote serious. Well, he's 214 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: sleeping with her every chance he can get. He gives 215 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: her flowers and jewelry. She says she doesn't want to 216 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: live this way anymore. He says, you don't have to. 217 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: And then just two years after his wife is murdered, 218 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: they get married. That sounds pretty serious to me. Catherine, Well, 219 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: you know, it sounded pretty serious, I think to everybody. 220 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: It's really hard in the court. Well that the idea 221 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: that they weren't serious just didn't play out. They married, 222 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: she became Evan's mother. They had a life together, and 223 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: that Christmas before Belinda's death, he bought head a gold 224 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: necklace for Christmas, and Belinda mentioned to a couple of 225 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: people that he bought her nothing, that she had no gift. So, 226 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: you know, their contention that this wasn't serious relationship just 227 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: didn't play well for investigators. What is the state's theory 228 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: a story that he told that never made any sense? 229 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: What didn't make any sense of that? The story was, 230 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: according to David Temple, at the very time he was 231 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: out with his six son running errands that didn't need 232 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: to be run, a random burglar just happened to break 233 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: into his house and shoots Belinda Temple in the back 234 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: of the head, which is eight months pregnant, while David 235 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: Temple is having an affair with the woman he was 236 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: madly in love with. She believes Belinda Temple was killed 237 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: around four pm, about a half hour before David was 238 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: seen by those surveillance came at the stores one Splinda 239 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: was dead, Siegler says, Temple went right to work and 240 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: cocting his alibi, David Temple made a sweep for the 241 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: house and made an attempt to make the house look 242 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: I could have been viglarized. He broke the glass in 243 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: the back door, and then he took evan to try 244 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: and get himself on videotape to alibi himself as quickly 245 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: as he could. To Catherine Casey, author of Shattered, how 246 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: does the investigation affect the marriage between David Temple and 247 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: his girlfriend turned wife. Well, there's got to be a 248 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: lot of pressure on the marriage at that point. I mean, 249 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: they're they're looking at a trial looming ahead there. You know, 250 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: people are looking at them wondering what David did here. 251 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: They've started this life there, They've joined the church in 252 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: the area. They're projecting his image of his perfect young 253 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: couple with their son. But you know, those rumors and 254 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: the gossip about David's previous wife about the lane never 255 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: really left him. Take a listen to what Belinda's parents 256 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: tell me. When was the first time you saw David 257 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: Temple after you learned Belinda had been murdered. I saw 258 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: David Temple at the funeral home the night before the funeral. 259 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: Now that strikes me as very unusual. That you that 260 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: he didn't come to you, or didn't did he call you? Maybe? No? Nothing? 261 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: How did he act at the funeral? Missus Lucas, just 262 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: like any other day of the week, I'd say, didn't 263 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: seem to be sad or anything. What was he like? 264 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: No tears were shed? Not a tear. I never saw 265 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: a tears shed. David Temple has never looked us in 266 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: the eye since our daughter was married, her murdered. Excuse me, 267 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: never has looked you in the eye. No. Do you 268 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: think Belinda knew he was having an affair during the marriage. 269 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: I think she had become aware of it. Do you 270 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: think that is what led to her death? I feel 271 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 1: that that could have been part of the reason. When 272 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: you look at all the facts. Do you think David 273 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: Temple murdered your daughter? After looking into all the facts 274 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: and reading what I've read, I believe David Temple killed 275 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: You can hear the parents voices just heavy with pain. 276 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: And maybe I'm projecting, but I remember at the murder 277 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: trial when my fiancee Keith had been murdered. When I 278 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: got down off the witness stand and was walking out, 279 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: I looked right at the defendant because I had never 280 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: seen him before, and he could not look me in 281 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: the eye. He looked down at his lap. Then I 282 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: looked at Alla's defense lawyers sitting all around him. They 283 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,479 Speaker 1: do the same thing. They all looked down like they 284 00:17:54,480 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: were suddenly reading something. And I'm listening to what Blenda's parents. 285 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: Parents are telling me that even at the funeral, Temple 286 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: did not speak to them and would not look them 287 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: in the eye. Now, that's before he was ever under suspicion. 288 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: That was before he was arrested. This was just days 289 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: after the death. I mean, Brandy key on Sen, the 290 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: owner of the Katie Times. What does that tell you, Well, 291 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: it tells me that he might have very well had 292 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: something to hide. What about it, Catherine? I think I 293 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: think it's an indication of feeling guilty, of feeling that 294 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: to look him in the eye might have revealed too much. 295 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: You know, it's been said Katherine Casey, author, I've shattered 296 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: that no one ever said no to David Temple. Well, 297 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: you know, he was a football star. He was a 298 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: big shot in Katie, Texas where where football has got, 299 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: where football is king, and he was indulged as a child. 300 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: So I think that's a fair statement. What about it, 301 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: Joe Scott Morgan, do you think that in this context 302 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: this guy was, you know, the king of the county 303 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: in this area. He had always been given everything and 304 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: anything that he wanted. Big football star, college football star, 305 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: and he just felt like he could do anything that 306 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: he wanted. I think Kelly Signer, you know, she sniffed 307 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: this out. She understood that this guy was narcissistic enough 308 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: to believe that he could actually get away with murder. 309 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: Police never found the murder weapon, a twelve gage shotgun, 310 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: but during trial, prosecutors finally find a witness who could 311 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: corroborate that David Temple had access to such a gun. 312 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: A friend of the family who used to hunt with 313 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: the Temple boys came forward and he said that he 314 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: remembered the shotguns that they had used to hunt with, 315 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,239 Speaker 1: the ones that the three brothers had, and that they 316 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: were all twelve gage shotguns. This testimony was incredibly important 317 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: because it was the first time that the prosecutors had 318 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: been able to put at twelve gage shotgun in David 319 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: Temple's hands. To this day, the murder weapon has never 320 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: been found, but in court, prosecutors theorized that David Temple 321 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: disposed of it the afternoon of the murder while he 322 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: was out running errands. David was seen by a high 323 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,479 Speaker 1: school friend that afternoon at about five o'clock in his 324 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: pickup truck. But the really interesting thing was that it 325 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: was north, farther north than he was supposed to be. 326 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: David was seen in an area that surrounded by rice fields. 327 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: Why is he going to where all the ross fields 328 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: and canals are you? Now, we always believe that he 329 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: went there to get rid of the shotgun. Our friends 330 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: from Scorn, that's Nicole Blackman, Catherine Casey, What can you 331 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: tell me about this rice field or rice fields all 332 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: around David Temple's childhood home and he was seen in 333 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: that area when he wasn't supposed to be there the 334 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 1: day of the murder, So there are a lot of 335 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 1: the police officers and those investigating the case. At the time, 336 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: the shotgun was integral, The murder weapon was a big deal. 337 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: The prosecutors were demanding it to go forward at that time, 338 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: and so they spent many, many days searching those righteous 339 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: fields trying to find that shotgun. They looked down well, 340 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: they looked at ditches, they did everything they could, but 341 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 1: they were never able to find it. Just got Morgan. 342 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 1: Is it fatal to a prosecution not to have the 343 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: murder weapon. I don't know that it's necessarily fatal, Nancy, 344 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: but you gotta admit you've spent enough time and from 345 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: juries juries want to see the weapon. I think that 346 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: it can be very damaging to a case to be 347 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 1: absent that. So it's a real tough, uphill battle for 348 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,959 Speaker 1: the prosecution. The case goes to trial with or without 349 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: a murder weapon. Listen to this. David Temple did not 350 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: kill his wife, Belinda Temple, and the evidence will show 351 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: you that he did not. It's true that David had 352 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: an affair, that doesn't make him a murderer. Not only 353 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: did Temple cheat on his wife, but a year and 354 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: a half after Belinda was killed, he married Heather Scott, 355 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: his one time mistress. She was the reason why David 356 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: Temple finally made up his mind to end his marriage 357 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: with Belinda by executing her. It doesn't look good, and 358 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: that's what the prosecutor harped on all during the trial. 359 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: Siegler actually called Heather to the stand. We weren't allowed 360 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 1: to record the witnesses audio, but the former mistress downplayed 361 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,959 Speaker 1: the affair. That was just so come on, so contrived. 362 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: Nobody in the courtroom bought that. As a matter of fact, 363 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: David Temple and Heather Scott, his new wife, we're having 364 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: troubles of their own. The spokesperson for the victim's family 365 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: called this latest twist studying, But our legal analysts suggests 366 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: that how important this new information ends up being really 367 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: depends on what ends up getting said on the witness stand. 368 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: There is only one person, as in a criminal case 369 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: that's already seen plenty of twists. The second betrayal is 370 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: law enforcements betrayal of us. Now another one, and certainly 371 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: yesterday was quite a stunning surprise to everybody. Heather Temple, 372 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: David Temple's second wife filed for divorce yesterday in a 373 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 1: Fort Been County court. The filing claims their marriage quote 374 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities. 375 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: Heather Temple's attorneys told kh are you they're aware of 376 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: the divorce filing timing with the trial, but are asking 377 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 1: for privacy. We're hopeful that with the filing for divorce 378 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: shall be more candid, more forthcoming, and certainly more factual. 379 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: That's what she truly does now. Victim's advocate Andy Kahan, 380 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: has represented Belinda Lucas Temple's family since Belinda's murder. At 381 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: that time, Heather was having an affair with David Wow, 382 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 1: that's who he hou reporter Adam Bennett. So in the 383 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: middle of the trial, Katherine Casey, the second wife, after 384 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 1: all that, files for divorce. She did, and it was stunning. 385 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: The gossip mills were going crazy that day. People were 386 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 1: wondering if this would affect what she'd say once she 387 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: got under the stand. But the reality is it's not 388 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: her privilege to advance. In other words, if she tried 389 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 1: to testify about knowledge regarding Belinda's murder, it's David Temple 390 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 1: who invokes the privilege to stop her from testifying to 391 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: anything that occurred or was said during their marriage. Did 392 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: it change her testimony, Catherine, No, it didn't at all. 393 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: What had happened between the two of them during Belinda's 394 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: death was actually prior to their marriage, so it wasn't 395 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: covered under that protection. And she testified just as she 396 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: was expected to at the trial, which was what that 397 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: they had this affair and that she was in love 398 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: with it. She told David she was in love with him, 399 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: and he said he was in love with her. She 400 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: claimed that he had never told her that he had murdered, 401 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 1: you know, his wife that you know, she saw that 402 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 1: she didn't see the affair at the time as you know, 403 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: a motive for anything. She didn't suspect that he had 404 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: murdered Belinda. Take a listen to KPRC two Brandon Walker. 405 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: In a case that's all about competing timelines. Heather Scott 406 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: Temple's testimony is key for the prosecution because it confirms 407 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: that David Temple was unfaithful to a pregnant Melenda Temple 408 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 1: in the months leading to her death. So, thus, for George, 409 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: their establishing cause, maybe Temple killed his pregnant wife because 410 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: he no longer wanted to be married. Maybe he didn't 411 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: want a second child. David Temple sat and listened as 412 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: the woman who no longer wants to be his missus 413 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: testified for the prosecution. In the fall of nineteen ninety eight. 414 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: Then Heather Scott and David Temple began an extramarital affair. 415 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: Scott was a teacher, where Temple coached football and emailed 416 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 1: exchanges admitted into evidence. Pieced together a courtship starting with 417 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: happy hours, although the two would soon become intimate. Did 418 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: you notice that he kind of came and went as 419 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 1: he wanted, asked the prosecution. I mean, I guess Scott. 420 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: Temple said, I can't really speak to that relationship, referring 421 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 1: to Temple's marriage. David Temple made a sweep through the 422 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: house and made an attempt to make the house look 423 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: like it had been burglarized. He broke the glass in 424 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: the back door, and then he took Evan and went 425 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: to some places there in Katie to try and get 426 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: himself on videotape to alibi himself as quickly as he could. 427 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 1: That plan failed, she says, when a witness who went 428 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: to the same high school as Temple said he saw 429 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: him driving about a mile off the route. Temple said 430 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 1: he drove that day but close to these rice fields. Well, 431 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: what do you think he was doing out there? I 432 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 1: think that's where I went to get rid of the shotgun. 433 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: But you never found the shotgun? Do you know? Me? 434 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 1: Rospills or are in Katie, Texas and creeks and ponds. 435 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,479 Speaker 1: That lack of a murder weapon hurts at trial and 436 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: then comes evidence. Regarding an interview, dejectives also talked to 437 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 1: Daniel Glasscock, the man who gave to Garren that videotaped statement. 438 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: The good goal was talking to mister Glasscock. Bring mister 439 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: Glasscott down. After five hours of talking, Glasscock wavered on 440 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: a lot of the details. Gard tell me, do not 441 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: see this? Do I say that? But I just feel 442 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: like when I heard that that witness is not only recanted, 443 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: but that witness admitted that Digny Garron was the person 444 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: who fed him the d tales of the murder case. 445 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 1: I was pretty disgusted. To Catherine Casey, author of Shattered, 446 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: who was in the courtroom. What was David Temple's demeanor 447 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,640 Speaker 1: in court? And did he take the stand He did 448 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: take the stand, and Kelly Siegler was able to cross 449 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: examine him, and he actually did very well during his testimony. 450 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: He held up pretty well. She went after him, especially 451 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: about the timeline. In his original statement he said that 452 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: Belinda got home at three forty five. That statement was 453 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: given the night of the murder. On the stand, he 454 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: pushed it back and he said she got home closer 455 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: to four o'clock, which would have, of course tightened the 456 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: timeline and made it less likely that he could have 457 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: murdered Belinda. At any time did you see David Temple 458 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: break down in tears, show any emotion when the photos, 459 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: the death photos of his wife were shown, or even 460 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: when the medical examiner took the stand. You know, the 461 00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: only time I saw David Temple cry was the playing 462 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: of the nine one one call, when his own voice 463 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: was ringing through the courtroom and founding off those walls. 464 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: Then he was practically sobbing. But the rest of the 465 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: time he would look around the courtroom, stare at the 466 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: person on the stand, or a look down at the 467 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: legal pad where he would write suggestions for Dick to garn. 468 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: So let me understand this, Steve Lampley, detective and author 469 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: outside your door. He only breaks down when he hears 470 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: his own voice. He cries about himself, Nancy. He obviously 471 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: had no remorse, and that's my concinition all along. And 472 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: he had no remorse. He had a purpose. He wanted 473 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: her dead so he could have this relationship with his 474 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: other woman. And yeah, I mean he for whatever reason 475 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: he cried on his own voice, but certainly not for Listen, 476 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: somebody's broken into my my wife. I just wrapped in 477 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: my wife. I've been shot. It's got blood everywhere. Okay, sir, 478 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: is she breathing? Her brain is on the floor. I 479 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: think she's already did. She's eight much brains did Okay? 480 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: We got a baby though, right, okay, okay, but I 481 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: don't know how to do CPR. Yeah, okay, I want 482 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: you to do CPR for that baby. Okay, okay, Yeah, 483 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: let's do Are you doing CPR for me? She's gone? Okay, Well, 484 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: let's see if we can use her okay for the baby. 485 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: Is there any way that you can do this? This 486 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: is no way. She's got a brain and his bloody 487 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: is covered on the floor. Well, the jury find the defendant, 488 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: David Mark Temple, guilty, of murder as charged in the indictment. 489 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: At the end of the jury trial, David Temple found guilty, 490 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: but doubts persist. The reality is Catherine Casey as overjoyed 491 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: as Belinda's parents were at the origin guilty verdict that 492 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: case was reversed. Why well, you know, there there were 493 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: allegations made by the defense team that evidence wasn't given 494 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: over as it should have been during discovery before the 495 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: trial started, and that dictor Geron was kind of you know, 496 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: taken off balance because of it. It was because of 497 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: the rule in the Harris County DA's office at the 498 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: time that the defense attorneys weren't entitled two like witness 499 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: statements until the witness testified. I think it was a 500 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: bad policy. And the appeals court decided that the defense 501 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: claims were right and they ruled in favor and they 502 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: set aside the verdict, and that meant that it went 503 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: back to the prosecutor's office here in Harris County and 504 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: they had to decide whether or not to follow through 505 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: with a second trial. You know, Brandy Keion seen the 506 00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: owner of the Katie Times. It's so easy for prosecutor 507 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: to just try to take a cheap plea or to quote, 508 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: lose a case when there has been a reversal. But 509 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: that is not what local prosecutors did. Did they take 510 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: the case back to trial, They absolutely did. They did 511 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: that and it lasted several weeks, and they just they 512 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: were determined to make sure that they got a conviction 513 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: a second time. Because of the claims that ended up 514 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: reversing the original trial, Local prosecutors handed the case over 515 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: to the Attorney General to try to Catherine Casey, did 516 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: you see any change in strategy second time around? You know, 517 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: the case was basically the same, except mare was brought 518 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: in about Briley, Joe Sanders, the neighborhood kids. The defense 519 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,719 Speaker 1: team used a lot of that information throughout the trial 520 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: to try to set up this scenario of another viable suspect. 521 00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: The second jury trial of David Temple was us as 522 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: hard fall. Take a listen to this our friends at CBS. 523 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: We the jury find the defendant, David Mark Temple, guilty 524 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 1: of murder as charged in the indictment for the second time. 525 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: David Temple is convicted of killing his pregnant wife back 526 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety nine. Belinda was eight months pregnant when 527 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: she was shot in the back of her head in 528 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: her closet and Katie. Investigators soon learned her husband, a 529 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: high school football coach, had been having an affair with 530 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: a fellow teacher. The phone call I get that night 531 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: at time nis to nine on Monday night at January eleventh, 532 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: I said he was guilty. Then twenty and a half 533 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: years later, David Temple was still guilty. Belinda's brother, Brian 534 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: says he never lost hope even after Temple's first conviction 535 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: was thrown out. He says justice may have been delayed, 536 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: but today it was finally served again. This day's about Belinda. 537 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with David Temple. Yet even 538 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: after a second guilty verdict, David Temple manages to get 539 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: a bond hearing. Now that sent shot waves through the community. 540 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: Catherine Casey, When this guy twice convicted of his wife's 541 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: a murderer gets a bond hearing, and then letters are 542 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 1: read in court about how great David Tipple is, But 543 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: they were countered by letters from the victim's father and 544 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: the community. What happened at the bond hearing, Well, you know, 545 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: I've never seen this happen before. But the jury came 546 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 1: back with their guilty verdict, and then there was a 547 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: mistrial on the sentence thing Judge. Severe violence has already 548 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: been done to most, which is underlined of our conscience 549 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: to even get this far. We believe it is a 550 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:45,399 Speaker 1: total fluke, a one in a thousand chance that this 551 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 1: group of jears was assembled. We know the price of 552 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 1: we know the price a mistrial carries. We know it 553 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 1: will put families through weeks of hell again. But for 554 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 1: the sentence we can in our will to accept it. 555 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 1: It is worth it. We believe any other jury assembled 556 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: could do this job properly and deliver the proper or 557 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 1: even a reasonable sentence. Two jars are not willing to 558 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: budge at all. There is nothing more we can do. 559 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: It is best for our all, It is best for 560 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:23,760 Speaker 1: all families involved, as well as society to give someone 561 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: else a try. We will keep deliberating until you tell 562 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: us otherwise. And that signed the foreman. So David Temple 563 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: was not going to be sentenced for another eight months, 564 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: and during that time under Texas law, he was actually 565 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: eligible for our bond. So they were looking at putting 566 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,399 Speaker 1: someone who had just been convicted of murder out back 567 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: on the streets to Harris County again and people were upset. 568 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:57,240 Speaker 1: This was, you know, a major disappointment for the family 569 00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: and for everybody involved. The bond hearing of the defense 570 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: brought in witnesses who testified that they didn't still didn't 571 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 1: believe that David was guilty and that he was just 572 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: this great guy and that he ought to be given 573 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: a bond. His brother, older brother, got on the stand 574 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:18,839 Speaker 1: and said that he would be willing to put up 575 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 1: some money toward a bond. The judge was in the 576 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: position where she had a defendant who'd been convicted of murder, 577 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: but he was entitled to a bond, and then the 578 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 1: prosecutor got up and said, this has changed. This is 579 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 1: no longer a defendant who's been you know, indicted for 580 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: a murder. This is a convicted killer. And you know, 581 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: she argued that therefore this bond had to be high. 582 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: The judge came back and agreed with the prosecution and 583 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 1: set the bond at one million dollars. So once again 584 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: the family is left hanging high and dry. You know, 585 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 1: I'm always leary of retrials many many years after the fact, 586 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 1: and I've had to do them myself. I remember I 587 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: had not been at the prosecutor's office very long when 588 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: a case that went down, the murderer of and Atlanta 589 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 1: police officers a brother, which is before I was even 590 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: in law school. Had to put that case back together 591 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: again and retry it. That is hard to do. Evidence loss, witnesses, 592 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 1: memories fade. It's really hard to do. But the prosecutors 593 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 1: in this case hung in there. A dramatic retrial finds 594 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:39,720 Speaker 1: high school football coach, the superstar of the region, guilty 595 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,399 Speaker 1: in the murder of his pregnant wife all the way 596 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: back in nineteen ninety nine so he could continue his 597 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:52,799 Speaker 1: affair with his so called hot coworker, David Temple, now 598 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: convicted for shooting his eight month pregnant wife, Belinda, in 599 00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: the back of the head, killing her. Take a listen 600 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 1: to our friends at ABC. It was you could heard 601 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: a pen drop, just a never ending nightmare. I was 602 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 1: dumbfound that was the last thing I expected. Evan may 603 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 1: have touched them. The fact that the jury became aware 604 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,359 Speaker 1: he had already served ten years had to have had 605 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,280 Speaker 1: an impact. I know that two people were at probation. 606 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: There were six in the middle of thirty to forty 607 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 1: years and then for want of life. Twice convicted, still unsentenced. 608 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:40,280 Speaker 1: I don't understand that he's still convicted and an entirely 609 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,839 Speaker 1: new jury is now going to be been to evaluate 610 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 1: what punishment he should get. There is no if fans 611 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: or butts. David Temple is a cold blooded, diabolical murder 612 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 1: who deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. 613 00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:00,919 Speaker 1: His family can visit him. Belinda's family has to visit 614 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: her in a grave no matter what the sentence is 615 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 1: from David Temple. His son Evan, whether he knows it 616 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:16,760 Speaker 1: or not, got life. Still no justice for Belinda Temple, 617 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 1: Nancy Grace Killers amongst us, signing off goodbye friend,
