00:00:00
[Music] [Applause] that day was full of laughs we got there the energy was great my whole family was
00:00:15
there I think I made all the games and homecoming we were all we were all there we had driven up and we were there to
00:00:23
see the game DJ he was my shadow he and I were together all the time my family's
00:00:29
uh uh really close really close always been really close we are like a um our own little Universe the five of us dad
00:00:39
called him DJ mom would call him Danny Danny always he was uh the surrogate dad to his siblings they looked up to him I
00:00:50
struggled with math as a high school student and he'd be the first one to sit down and be like okay well let's figure
00:00:56
it out he um was oh my gosh a joy a pi Piper in the neighborhood all of the kids loved him
00:01:13
the biggest smile you've ever seen and a very gentle Spirit we driven up there the same day
00:01:22
watched the game hung out and then drove back home so very early in the morning I was
00:01:30
startled awake and I said to Angela someone is at the door it was uh two police officers they said Mr Henry your
00:01:39
son has been in an accident he handed me a a slip of paper and said you need to call this
00:01:44
number the nurse on the phone said are you Mrs Henry I said yes I heard my son was in an accident then I kept saying
00:01:51
well what happened what happened and she said he was shot and I said who would shoot him I I
00:01:59
can't I can't understand understand who would shoot him the nurse gave the phone
00:02:03
to the one of the attending physicians who got on the phone and said he died I remember just falling to my knees DJ
00:02:13
Henry was a 20-year-old Pace University junor back in October of 2010 when he was fatally shot in his
00:02:22
car I heard what sound like firefighters and I heard a car Screech I didn't think
00:02:27
anything of it homecoming someone probably have fireworks last thing I thought about was what ended up being
00:02:34
the case everybody wasn't buying the original story it immediately didn't fit together so I had suspicions from day
00:02:43
one people believed fervently that they knew what happened and whenever you hear
00:02:49
of a a case like this you can't believe First Impressions something really significant
00:02:56
happened in this car do you keep evidence from every case that you handle this was an unusual situation I needed
00:03:03
it to be here so perhaps a day like today would come when we could tell the story what really happens
00:03:08
[Applause] [Music] here I never thought in a million years it would turn out the way it did we
00:03:17
don't need some version of the story that protects one side or the other our whole goal was to just get the truth
00:03:27
