But she always made it a point (clearing throat) that her son wasn't involved. And then I told her, that Saturday when she got off the phone, we were playing cards .. .it was just me and her, we were playing cards ... and, uh, she said ... she was crying when she got off the phone, so I said, well what's the matter, like that .. .I said you wanna pray? And she say, I just don't know. She say, it's just so not fair. And I said, what's not fair? She say, let ... give me your advice, what would you do? And I said, what do you mean what would I do? She said, I wanna tell you, but ... you gotta promise me you won't tell anybody. And I say, Dee Dee .. .I say, how long me and you been in here together and we ... whachu tell me is between me and you, I don't go back and repeat ... to any of the other inmates in here what me and you talk about.

I wasn't supposed to be in here by myself. They told me they was gonna stick by me and it's ... now it's like I'm dead to them. So I said, who? You know, who? And so she say, I didn't do this. So I told her, I say, look. . .if you didn't do this, cause I know I'm not going to jail for nobody ... for something that I didn't do. I said, if you didn't do this, then why in the hell are you sitting in here? Tell 'em who did it. She say, I can't. I said, whachu mean you can't? If somebody did something and I didn't do it, I'm not gonna sit inhere and take the rap, I don't care what they tell me they gonna do when I come home, I'm telling. She say, I can't. She say, cause James ... and then she stopped. So I said, well look, if you want me to help you and you can't be up front with me, then I'm not your friend. Evidently you don't look at me
