8:06

relations expert

8:08

dickerson is known for clients like

8:10

delta airlines eighty and seats

8:12

8:15

oh the hospital text

8:16

on the way to emulate the night diane

8:19

was shot like the polygraph

8:21

exam it appears to be another move

8:23

to control the narrative to convince

8:25

the media in the public that

8:28

text shouldn't be facing charges

8:30

for what was in their words

8:32

a terrible accident the

8:34

public auction of diane's collection

8:36

a few days later doesn't do much

8:38

to help texas image and it's

8:40

not without controversy there's

8:43

a lot of interest in this option here

8:45

and there are fourteen hundred items up

8:47

for sale everything from floor

8:49

length first to forty thousand

8:51

dollar diamond earrings their

8:53

affect the bring in as much as two and a half million

8:56

dollars and we gotta behind the scenes tour

8:58

of the auction today which includes more

9:00

than twenty first you

9:02

can take your pick from a waist length chinchilla

9:05

to a full and make of course the jewelry

9:07

one of the biggest highlights and draws

9:10

texas friends jane and and reward

9:12

recall talking to tax around the time

9:14

of that public auction

9:16

i seem , remember

9:19

astor diane says some

9:21

time after after

9:23

that was something reported on

9:26

the local news channel and in

9:28

infants and about a bloke a

9:31

about the fact that diane's

9:33

belongings was sold off by

9:36

tech but that

9:38

was what was in the world to be done wasn't

9:40

it yeah it sat with sex in his

9:42

house

9:44

he was also put on a male

9:47

and we we spent time

9:49

at his house just talking about

9:51

her constantly the

9:54

said tax why they all getting angry

9:56

you so quickly selling alert closes

9:59

of andrew that seems

9:59

well i have

10:02

no choice but nobody's saying that they're

10:04

making it out that i'm trying

10:06

to sell all her clothes to

10:08

make money and i don't wanna

10:10

make money or what my durham back they're

10:13

making it out as if i'm the same this

10:15

person for doing that and

10:19

it was following

10:20

the will a what was required to do

10:22

so each person should get so much

10:24

money and this person should get this

10:27

and then i feel obligated

10:29

to honor that

10:30

defense attorney and legal expert darryl

10:32

cohen questions the decision

10:35

but doesn't see it as anything that would make

10:37

or break macgyver case

10:39

show i thought that that was foolish

10:42

on his part but it didn't bother me

10:44

my why does there is

10:46

no reason to keep her belongings let's get

10:48

rid of them for that a wonder if i

10:51

don't want them around me i don't want to continue

10:53

to remember how she was i mean i think

10:55

again that narrative could have been

10:57

trade a bit he can't

10:59

change the fact that he did it about it was way

11:02

too soon when he did that

11:05

didn't tell me he murdered or that he didn't

11:07

murder ever that is told media doesn't have

11:09

the best judgment the world

11:10

if there's any question about where the

11:12

money will go macgyver says

11:14

it will all go to people diane left

11:17

the money to in her will in

11:19

nunavut

11:19

go towards his legal bills that

11:22

, stop the fulton county district attorney

11:24

from filing an emergency motion to stop

11:26

the auction but a judge

11:29

denied the motion and the option

11:31

19:58

murder

19:59

which also

20:00

carries with a potential life sentence

20:02

the way

20:03

heard

20:05

it would be idea that this

murder would probably be closer to

20:57

what people think of it's like first degree murder where it

20:59

plague malice aforethought this

21:01

is something where you seriously plan

21:04

the decent a new you want it
