Warnings: none

Interviewer: Jodie you just indicated there was a warrant out for you.

Jodie: yeah, cause I haven't been reporting in

Interviewer: Reporting in to who?

Jodie: The D.A.'s office. Police Gordan Unsald

Interviewer: Why aren't you reporting?

Jodie: Cause I just, I just don't think they're doing things right.

Interviewer: How do you mean?

Jodie: I mean if they were doing everything right I wouldn't of been able to see shorty and to talk to him twice. I mean it just wouldn't've been allowed before we went to grand jury, and they, they wanted to make sure that our stories jived.

Interviewer: When you say shorty you're talking about the states other eye witness who can identify Gable as the murderer?

Jodie: *quietly* Yea.

Interviewer: You met with him before you testified with the grand jury?

Jodie: Yea, right before.

Interviewer: Where was this? In a room?

Jodie: Yeah...

Interviewer: Why did you agree to talk with me Jodie? Did you have any uh specific thought in mind-

Jodie: I just don't want Frank Gable to die for something he didn't do.

Interviewer: See this file? This binder right here.

Jodie: Yeah...

Interviewer: There's over 36 entries in it. Now over 2/3 of these are statements that you apparently made to the police.

Jodie: *sassy* Yea...

Interviewer: Well according to some of your statements you said that you met Frank Gable the first time on the night Mr. Frankie was killed.

Jodie: *shakes her head* That's not true.

Interviewer: Did you meet him before or after Michael Frankie was killed?

Jodie: After.

Interviewer: Could you tell me why you said all this?

Jodie: Because that is what everybody wanted me to do... And they were not going to let me get out, have any freedom until I went to the grand jury and said something to the grand jury I mean- *takes a deep breath* I  lied... They wanted this thing over they wanted this thingover worse than anybody does!

Interviewer: How do you know that? Are you able to explain that to me or is it just a feeling that you get?

Jodie: stop-Frank Gable is an escape goat... And I mean... Nah I don't wanna go into this anymore because all I wanted to do is say what's needed to be said to let Frank Gable off the hook and whatever cause he didn't...

*sighs in frustration and rubs forehead* he didn't do it.

*Jodie lights cigarette and giggles*

Interviewer: You know, some people might interpret it that your telling me all this just to get him off as opposed to that he didn't actually do it.

Jodie: *angry confused* Well he didn't actually do it.

Interviewer: So you're not just trying to change your story-

Jodie: No.

Interviewer: because all of-

Jodie: No! No! NO! NO! THAT'S NOT IT!... What it is is I'm not going to be in at the trial okay that's it that's all.
