represent Lacey Spencer, and I’d like to put a couple
things on the record.

To begin with, Lacey is now fifteen years old.
At the time this happened, she was either thirteen or
fourteen years old. 

I have spent considerable time talking to her
about this whole circumstance. I also spent some
considerable time talking to her mom and dad about the
circumstance. Her mother and father live in Michigan.
And while I think they’d like to be here for this
interview, I think I’ve got them convinced that excluding
a lot of the people in here, so maybe Lacey won’t feel so
intimidated, Mr. McGarry can run this interview without
any kind of problems. And so, based on that, we’re ready
to go forward.

Part of the time I spent with Lacey was a focus
on the justice system, generally, and specifically on
immunity and the statute 914.04. And believe it or not,
she didn’t fall asleep in my history lesson. She asked
good questions. And I think she understands what
immunity’s all about. I think she certainly knows the
difference between right and wrong. She knows she’s here
to tell the truth and answer your questions truthfully and
completely.
