Airsman, who had been texting 48 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: with her mother just before leaving Phoenix, became increasingly worried 49 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 1: when Jimmerfield did not respond to her messages or answer 50 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: her calls.

Prosecutors 75 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 5: say it was a three hour long audio recording of 76 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 5: Hermann pleading for her life that sealed the fate of 77 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 5: the suspect. 78 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 4: I don't see how you could listen to something like that. 79 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 4: What was being spoken by the fendant, the words he 80 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 4: was using, the tone of it, the frankly sort of 81 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 4: banal nature of this argument that led up to it 82 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 4: and not come to the conclusion that we always believe 83 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 4: was correct, which was first three murder. 84 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 5: It's unclear if the recording on the victim's phone was 85 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 5: taken intentionally, but it was very revealing. During that recording, 86 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 5: the jury had the opportunity to hear the woman say 87 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 5: that she wanted to stay in while her boyfriend insisted 88 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 5: she join him out for an evening.

As the woman pleads for mercy. 92 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 5: The man can be heard saying do you want to 93 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 5: live or do you want to die? Herman can be 94 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 5: heard saying the word stop fifty three times. The woman 95 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 5: seems to try to bite the man to escape, at 96 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 5: which point he says, You're going to die right now? 97 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 5: Are you ready? How do you want to die? He said? 98 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 5: By blunt force trauma or something else, or maybe I 99 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 5: should choke you to death.
