00:00:01
how you feeling how you feeling Temple excuse me excuse me where my your first thought David as you come
00:00:09
out uh it's it's been nine years it's been a long journey and uh we're waiting for justice to be served once and for
00:00:18
all and for the people that put me there and lied and cheated to be held accountable David Temple spent 9 years
00:00:29
in prison for for a crime he says he did not commit a Court ruled his trial was unfair and he's out for now the question
00:00:37
is will prosecutors try him again there have been developments in this case in just the past few months and we've been
00:00:44
covering it since 2007 we the jury find the defendant David Mark Temple guilty of murder as
00:00:53
charging the indictment David Temple was convicted after a week trial by a fair and
00:01:01
impartial jury he was given a life sentence for executing his wife and unborn child my name is Kelly seigler I was a
00:01:11
Harris County prosecutor for 21 years you had the right to expect us to tell you the truth the last murder case I
00:01:18
handled here in Harris County was the David Temple case David Temple was in Katie High School a big man on campus
00:01:26
because he was a big football star out there Belinda Temple the kind of girl that nobody could say anything ugly or
00:01:34
bad about they had a son named Evan and the facts of the case were just so different
00:01:40
and [Music] horrible I do not believe David Temple got a fair trial no person with eyes and
00:01:51
ears and half a brain can say David Temple got a fair trial Mr dearin made the argument that there were more than
00:01:56
one burglar dick dearen was the trial lawyer for David Temple dick did the best that he could with what he had we
00:02:02
objected and asked that she stay in the record Temple's appeals team discovered evidence was withheld from the defense
00:02:11
on my left is the complete investigative report this was never seen this is what was
00:02:21
suppressed did you turn over the 1400 pages of police reports no every single thing under the law Mr dearen was
00:02:31
entitled to was turned over to him I care about what I do I care about the process and this process shook me
00:02:43
kids in Katie lots of them got shotguns there were alternate suspects in this case what in the world do they have to
00:02:51
do with who killed Belinda Temple nothing she lied she cheated and she broke the rules that's not that's not
00:02:59
last fall a court agreed that evidence was withheld and overturned Temple's conviction but it is not over yet David
00:03:10
Temple is innocent I want an complete exoneration prosecutors will have to decide whether to try him again for the
00:03:18
murder of his wife do you think you're going to be retried I don't know but if I need to do it I would do it and I'd do
00:03:25
it tomorrow if I need to do it [Music]
