THE CLERK READS THE VERDICT:
00:40:48
GUILTY OF TWO MURDERS. >> THE JURY SENTENCED MAKDESSI TO TWO LIFE TERMS, PLUS 13 YEARS, WHICH WAS THE MAXIMUM INCARCERATION. IT WAS VERY GRATIFYING. AND CAPTAIN SANTOS CAME UP TO ME AFTERWARDS AND HUGGED ME AND SAID, NOW HE CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT. AND THAT FELT REAL GOOD. >> THE PROMISE WAS FULFILLED THAT I MADE WITH ELISE MAKDESSI, AND ALL OF THAT HARD WORK THAT EVERYBODY WAS INVOLVED IN FINALLY CAME TOGETHER AT THAT ONE MOMENT IN TIME. >> I LIVED AND BREATHED THAT CASE FOR THREE YEARS. IF YOU ASK MY FAMILY, THAT'S WHAT MY WHOLE LIFE, UNFORTUNATELY, WAS DEVOTED AROUND THAT CASE AND OFTENTIMES NOT AROUND THEM. THE MORE THAT I GOT INVOLVED IN LEARNING ABOUT QUINCY AND LEARNING ABOUT ELISE MAKDESSI, THAT I SAID WE NEED JUSTICE FOR THEM. >> BUT WHEN YOU HAVE A NAVY OR MARINE CORPS VICTIM LIKE WE HAD HERE WITH TWO OF THEM, KNOWING THAT WE'RE THE ONES WHO ARE ENTRUSTED WITH BRINGING THEIR CASES TO FRUITION AND HOPEFULLY SEEKING JUSTICE, IT PUTS A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY ON YOU, AND WE'RE NEVER GOING TO GIVE UP. >> I STILL DON'T KNOW WHO I AM IN MANY WAYS. >> SHE HAD BEEN ON L. S. D. FOR DAYS. >> IT'S ALL VERY DISTURBING. >> HAMILTON BURN WAS THE LEADER OF A NEW- AGE CULT. >> THAT WAS THE DIVINE VISION. >> STOLEN AT BIRTH, BRAINWASHED. >> THEY STARVED US. THEY BEAT US. >> SHE WANTED THE CHILDREN IN PERFECT LITTLE DRESSES. >> SHE IS THE MOST EVIL PERSON THAT I'VE EVER MET. I NEED A BREAK. >> F. B. I. OPENED THE DOOR.
