[00:00:00]I mean, I know you can never get in the heads of justices or judges, but do you think that the fact that he's unlikely to get out of prison anytime soon factored into their ruling, their ability to overturn the murder convictions? No, no, I don't think so. I think that they are adhering to the rule of law and they felt that the process was slanted and that it wasn't fair. I think there's significant evidence, circumstantial evidence that Alex is guilty. But they also criticized Judge Newman John and that he let in the financial crimes and that while they said it was his discretion to do that, they said he went too far and too deep with letting that be the motive for Alex killing his wife and son.
