00:00:00
[Music] in a fraction of a second it changed my life now I'm someone else no warning no
00:00:21
premonition nothing my name is Corey shaunessy and I used to own Gallery Jewelers in Austin
00:00:29
Texas the thing that made the jewelry business really fun is selling engagement rings
00:00:36
selling jewelry to people because they're marking special occasions Ted kind of had the same
00:00:42
passion he loved colored gemstones we called ourselves Gallery Jewelers it should have been called Ted's Jewelers
00:00:49
because it it really was all about him March 1st was just a boring day he came home from work we had
00:01:01
dinner I basically rolled over to go to sleep and the next thing I know one of the dogs
00:01:08
barks this was early morning hours two Shooters enter the shauny home they quietly move through the
00:01:17
home Ted sits up in bed and he grabbed his gun to go see what it was I hadn't even gotten my head back on the pillow I
00:01:28
don't think before I heard the first gun shot and then there was a barrage of gunfire one of the shooters advances
00:01:36
towards the master bedroom where Cory is I grabbed my gun I started shooting back and I ran out of ammo I just bailed
00:01:46
into the closet County 911 do you need police fire or paramedic I don't know I'm in the closet there were shots fired
00:01:55
help me okay we're helping you ma'am help me I heard this I mean horrible horrible moaning and when I came out of
00:02:03
the closet I saw Ted's legs and I could tell that he was dead okay oh my God take a deep breath you doing an awesome
00:02:12
Cory okay oh God Theodore shaes was shot dead in his Austin area home by an intruder Cory shaunessy shot back at the
00:02:20
Intruder and wasn't hurt I was under the impression that this was a a robbery that had gone bad there was nothing
00:02:28
stolen we weren't find anybody that had any ill feelings towards either one of them we didn't have any idea who
00:02:37
committed this murder anybody that can do this is a sociopath it's just absolutely
00:02:43
crazy I don't even know why I really don't know [Music] why [Music] [Music] [Music]
00:03:41
when Travis County Sheriff's detectives Paul Salo and James Moore arrived to investigate a shooting at Ted and Corey
00:03:49
Shaun's Austin Texas home early on March 2nd 2018 they first thought it might be a
00:03:57
robbery gone wrong it looked as though there was a home invasion and a homeowner was
00:04:08
killed inside the sprawling Suburban home it looked like a battlefield 55-year-old Ted
00:04:18
shauny laid dead in a pool of blood near the kitchen table he was shot in the head the back the thigh and the
00:04:28
buttock one of the family's two pet Rottweilers spart had been shot to death as well there was broken window glass
00:04:40
everywhere bullets lodged in the walls casings all over the floor authorities noticed they were not all the same type
00:04:50
we had 40 caliber and 380 so that told us that we had two Shooters Cory would tell police police
00:04:59
she and Ted kept about 20 guns in the home and said she'd used her 357 revolver to shoot back at the attacker
00:05:08
it was a hell of gunfire investigators had noticed a single wide open ground floor window
00:05:17
around the side of the house and wondered if The Intruders had used it to get in somebody took the screen off set
00:05:24
it next to the window outside that open window LED into an unoccupied bedroom and there inside a
00:05:33
drawer police found what seemed like an unlikely coincidence there's a 40 caliber gun box in that drawer it's
00:05:43
missing out of the box well hang on 40 caliber is one of the caliber that you were just describing yes it meant that
00:05:51
Shaun's empty gun boox could have held a pistol that one of The Intruders used and had ejected bullet casings near the
00:05:59
victim that information gets past me while I'm outside outside near detective Moore
00:06:06
First Responders were looking after Corey shaes Cory's hisorical Corey would tell police she had not seen the
00:06:13
attackers faces but she did have a hunch about why they'd come being a jeweler you might someday be a
00:06:24
Target when you hear they own a jewelry store what does that prompt in in in your minds automatically a motive
00:06:32
someone figuring there was some safe with a bunch of jewelry absolutely that's right Cory broke the news by phone to
00:06:41
the shauny son Nick then 19 who lived 2 hours away with his girlfriend Jackie in
00:06:47
College Station Texas they immediately drove to Austin arriving about 8 a.m. Nick comes over and he's he's emotional
00:06:58
he asks me what happened Nick Jackie and Corey all agreed to help the investigation in any way
00:07:06
possible Cory allowed police to search her phone and though Nick said he hadn't been in Austin for about a month he and
00:07:14
Jackie did the same all three also agreed to answer questions at the station of anything that could
00:07:25
be helpful our goal was to just try to get as much information as possible I I didn't hear anything until the dog
00:07:34
started barking and but Cory says the more police questioned her in the coming days the more a traumatic situation went
00:07:41
from bad to worse I'm trying to think of anything I can to to help she says they were not
00:07:50
treating her like a victim I was extremely angry at the sheriff's department investigators still still
00:07:59
weren't sure if the murder was part of a random attack a jewel Heist gone bad or whether it was a targeted
00:08:09
assassination they weren't finding any relevant unidentified Prince at the scene so they had to wonder if their
00:08:16
sole surviving victim Corey shaes was actually a suspect she's the only person in the
00:08:26
house and we have her husband who has been shot to death we know that she owns Firearms so it's
00:08:33
obviously an option for us they called her in for a series of interviews for the last one she brought a lawyer who is
00:08:41
Seated on the left even though I didn't know to not write somebody killed him no
00:08:46
it's not I want to find them me too you got a distraught wife you got a dead husband you have to ask about the
00:08:56
marriage don't you yes Ted was the people person he was the front part of the story investigators learned Cory and Ted
00:09:08
had met in the early 80s at a video arcade in Phoenix they'd quickly discovered they
00:09:14
had a lot in common including a love of jewelry and eventually of each other they married and opened Gallery
00:09:24
Jewelers everything seemed to be just about perfect as the jewelry business grew Ted
00:09:31
and Corey had decided to grow their family too in 2000 they adopted Nick at 16 months old from an orphanage in
00:09:39
Ukraine it was just instant love it was yeah instant Corey says they all bonded even
00:09:47
before bringing him home there were animal crackers involved skillful distribution of animal crackers yes and
00:09:56
by the time we left we were a family she says Ted had a knack for helping people
00:10:02
Express their love with a sparkle everybody loved Ted didn't have any enemies by the time of the murder the
00:10:09
shaes were worth millions but maybe even more valuable to them they counted some
00:10:15
of their customers as close friends we were very happy for Corey being a parent was worth
00:10:24
its waiting gold Nicholas had it every thing a kid could want yes what was he into he liked
00:10:33
animals and he loved cars especially fast ones his father drove race cars for fun and often took
00:10:42
him to the track he loved putting on Ted's helmet and his racing gloves and and all of those things in high school
00:10:49
she says her son found another love her name was Jackie Edison after her parents
00:10:56
divorce Jackie had moved from New Jersey to Austin to live with her father Nick brought her to meet his parents in
00:11:04
2016 it was an awkward dinner but Corey says Jackie eventually won them over and
00:11:11
before long she was spending so much time in the Shaun's house they actually let her move in did you settle into a
00:11:21
okay a serious girlfriend seems to be part of Nick's life and she's okay I I did she was all right
00:11:30
in August of 20177 Nick and Jackie moved out to start a new life in College Station she and school he as a day
00:11:38
trader with his parents Financial backing Ted and Cory would have less than a year to enjoy their empty nest
00:11:47
before that horrible night in March police stayed on the scene for hours trying to process all the evidence
00:11:56
I was actually on call when the murder occurred Amy Meredith was an assistant district
00:12:02
attorney and says police asked her to come help them process and preserve the scene an unusual request she arrived
00:12:10
around 11:00 a.m. and after looking around began to believe as they did that Ted shaunessy probably knew whoever had
00:12:20
attacked him this was not a stranger this was not a stranger killing Meredith was sure the home was
00:12:27
just too big and too dark for a pair of random robbers or jewel thief wannabes to find their way around maybe even more
00:12:37
importantly there was nothing stolen nothing from that safe no valuables missing from the rest of the
00:12:45
house so everything for you pointed to Inside Job yes without a [Music] doubt [Music]
00:13:11
Cory Shaun's frustration with investigators was growing thank you all right again I appreciate you guys coming
00:13:18
in she say she'd known from the start that she was a suspect in her husband's murder she says she needed money for the
00:13:26
business in the following weeks and it didn't help when she tried to cash in his million dooll life insurance policy
00:13:34
I was the only beneficiary that could only mean that they suspected me let me just ask did you have anything to do
00:13:41
with this absolutely not but Amy Meredith says Corey had started raising red flags immediately after leaving the
00:13:49
scene within hours of the Murder She reportedly stated there would be no funeral and inquired about having the
00:13:56
house cleaned we had to make sure that she did not have any involvement but Corey wasn't the only
00:14:03
member of Ted's Family who was Raising suspicion the shaunessy son Nick had been more than a 100 miles away at the
00:14:10
time of the murder at the scene that morning he'd been emotional but what struck detective Soo was one of Nick's
00:14:18
first questions I tell him it looks like somebody came into the home and shot your dad to death and how did he absorb
00:14:27
that news he asked me did he suffer was that an odd question it definitely struck me as OD
00:14:37
yes even more so police say because as the morning wore on Nick became much less interested in speaking with police
00:14:46
than with the reporters who had started showing up Nick and Jackie continuously tried to talk to the mediate we asked
00:14:53
him to to stop and to stay in the scene and then Nick did something really odd says detective Moore he walked
00:15:01
directly over to examine that ground floor wide open side window the room it led to had once been his him going to
00:15:12
that side of the house to look specifically at that window which you can't see from just the front of the
00:15:18
house so for him to know that that was even involved he did not have that information how does he know the entry
00:15:26
point unless he was involved in creating the entry point sometimes people will get information from Cross talk with
00:15:34
detectives or law enforcement and so I I didn't automatically get super suspicious but
00:15:41
it was catching my attention something on Nick's phone had caught their attention as well an app
00:15:48
that gave him access to his parents' alarm Corey told them the family often chose not to arm the system and that it
00:15:56
had been switched off that night but a authorities noticed something in the account history there was an activation
00:16:03
for an open window the time of the window being opened was 4:27 that morning following that was glass Brak
00:16:15
activations we believe that's when the bullets started breaking the glass in the house that's when Ted died that's
00:16:21
when the shots were being fired was this important to have extremely police also saw something that
00:16:28
seemed important in Jackie Edison's Behavior we were going to do gunshot residue tests on their hands we then
00:16:36
separated them and at that time Jackie broke down hysterically and what' you make of it that was a major red flag for
00:16:45
me we knew there was something more to this at that point a woman officer put your mom on the
00:16:51
phone and then your mom told you what happened yeah she just like someone to came the house there was an exchange of
00:17:00
gunfire I believe she fired a shot and then she ran to the closet in questioning later that
00:17:07
day Nick and Jackie reminded police they'd been at their home in College Station when the shooting happened we
00:17:15
both moved to College Station and he just works from home a few days later investigators got
00:17:21
a search warrant once we get in the apartment we're going through it we're finding ammunition though common among
00:17:28
gun owners the ammunition was the same brand in caliber that was found at the crime scene and investigators were about
00:17:36
to find proof the couple was keeping secrets we find a Emer certificate for Nick and Jacqueline you discovered that
00:17:45
Nick and Jackie were married by searching Nick's apartment in all of the conversation you were having they never
00:17:52
said that they were married no a teenage friend of Nicks named Spencer Patterson
00:17:58
Spencer Patterson who'd been certified as a minister online had married them 8 months earlier police weren't the only
00:18:07
ones surprised you and Ted never knew no Corey shauny says Nick and Jackie didn't tell her about their clandestine
00:18:17
marriage until after the murder and I told them I said this is not you shouldn't have done this you're too
00:18:23
young trying to be a good mom she says she promised to help them plan a proper wedding I said you need to do it the
00:18:31
right way Cory had ample opportunity to make sure it happened because over the next few days Nick and Jackie moved back
00:18:40
into her house we were planning the engagement party we had the guest list Jackie was picking out
00:18:50
invitations that's especially chilling because while police initially had looked at all three for the murder they
00:18:57
now suspected just too and that Nick and Jackie had also targeted Corey but it was still only a working
00:19:06
Theory you can't say anything to Corey no that's a hard line to walk if you have two people who planned her
00:19:16
killing now living with her are you worried about Cory's safety of course of course but Corey shaes says what worried
00:19:24
her was the possibility authorities were trying to frame her son who by now was working in his father's place at the
00:19:32
jewelry store there is a set of circumstances that the police are trying to to to make work in the easiest way
00:19:39
that they can on March 10th 2018 she hired her son the best defense attorney she could find you could have told me
00:19:49
aliens landed on the front yard and I would have believed that before I would have believed that Nicholas and Jackie
00:19:56
plan to have us killed [Music] Cory shaunessy knew police were suspicious of Nick and Jackie but she
00:20:24
says she had no reason to think they were right after all she said say I don't know they've been wrong about her
00:20:32
the last thing that I would ever do would be kill my husband and I thought well if they think
00:20:38
I did it it's not a stretch for them to think Nicholas did it but the closer police looked the more incriminating
00:20:45
evidence they seemed to find that Nick and Jackie had planned to have both shaunas killed while phone records
00:20:53
showed Nick had been more than a 100 miles away at the time of the murder they also so showed he was lying when he
00:21:00
said he hadn't been to Austin for a month we ultimately see cell phone usage in Austin on February 28th which is just
00:21:11
two days before Ted ends up getting killed investigators wondered if he had been in town making final preparations
00:21:20
there were text messages on Nick and Jackie's phones that police say showed a suspicious conversation how important
00:21:27
was a text message that he sent out February 23 24 Nick is saying he's working on it and Jackie's response to
00:21:37
the text message was do they want 50k or not and she says we can't afford to pay
00:21:42
half before in another exchange Nick asks her to withdraw money from her account quote
00:21:50
so if it happens cash in hand they do make this withdrawal Jackie withdrew a, ous from
00:21:58
the bank just days before the murder authorities suspected it was no coincidence then in May of 2018 they
00:22:07
talked to the man who had officiated Nick and Jackie's wedding that high school friend Spencer Patterson trying
00:22:15
to get a hold of Spencer was kind of difficult at first investigators believed Patterson might be a suspect
00:22:23
but when they finally reached him he proved to be a critical witness instead he told them just before the murder Nick
00:22:31
had talked about coming into $8 million with Ted and Corey gone Nick can put a dollar sign on the lives of his
00:22:39
parents yes that's chilling it is Patterson showed them text messages that were even more chilling there was
00:22:49
also communication between Spencer and Nicholas where Nicholas was trying to hire him to kill a family just walk in
00:22:57
and and shoot a family writes Nick steal all their no mask needed cuz they'll all
00:23:04
be dead sper didn't want to go along with it but Nick still pitched the idea police cleared Patterson and on May
00:23:13
29th 2018 they arrested Nick shaunessy and Jackie Edison for criminal solicitation Corey couldn't believe it
00:23:24
I'm still under the assumption that he's being ly accused for months Cory had stood by
00:23:32
Nick but she told us when she read the arrest affidavits and saw the evidence her rocksolid belief in his innocence
00:23:40
began to crumble I got to where I understood that yes they were involved in some way but as a mother she says she
00:23:48
still couldn't convince herself they deliberately tried to kill anyone I was then hoping that they had
00:23:56
maybe gotten caught up in something something in College Station where maybe Nicholas owed someone money or maybe
00:24:01
there was some sort of a strange drug thing or maybe he told the wrong person that we were
00:24:06
Jewelers confident Nick and Jackie were behind the attack police hop sometime in jail might
00:24:13
make them come clean about who had actually pulled the trigger for the moment though neither one was talking
00:24:21
The Next Step was who were the actual Shooters and how do we figure this out the evidence Trail had essentially run
00:24:28
cold so we kind of hit a stall point when in early July 4 months after the murder detective Moore decided to review
00:24:36
some security video from Nick and Jackie's porch recorded just 2 days before the attack I see two individuals
00:24:45
show up to his front door Moore says he noticed something about one of the men that made him freeze the video something
00:24:53
he was wearing a green Anderson t-shirt window comp a window company this feels like a break and it only happens because
00:25:03
you isolated a frame of the video from the security camera yeah he and Soo drove to the window company where their
00:25:11
hard work ran into more good luck by sheer coincidence an employees daughter said she'd actually met the man in the
00:25:20
freeze frame apparently he'd only worked there for a few days 4 years earlier and
00:25:27
this woman still remembered his name Sergeant what are the odds of a hit like this on the identity it was crazy that
00:25:35
we we got that break his name was Cameron vosbeck and he wasn't home that day but his wife answered the
00:25:44
door and quickly got their attention I know why you're here that kid who hired somebody to to kill his jewelry store
00:25:54
parents hang on she doesn't know who you guys are you identify yourselves as detectives and she says I know why
00:26:03
you're here yes she said a few months earlier a man named Johnny Leon had asked her husband to commit murder for
00:26:11
money but he turned him down police ruled out vmech as a suspect but Leon turned out to be the other person in the
00:26:21
security video from Nick and Jackie's porch when they brought him in for questioning he told them he was no
00:26:29
murderer but he admitted Nick had tried to hire him I'm not going to lie to you when someone offers you 100K you're
00:26:36
going to think about it he's luring you into this to commit murder police were convinced that Leon
00:26:44
had taken the bait I'm just telling you we know you're involved in this we know what happened you know I'm it's
00:26:53
absolutely there's no doubt Leon was arrested for a capital murder and on his phone police found
00:27:01
evidence he may not have acted alone there was a flurry of contacts around the time of the killing with a Fort
00:27:08
Worth man named Aran Smith they also discovered both men had arrest records in fact the two had been
00:27:17
arrested together for drugs a year earlier detective Moore and I interviewed him he did admit that he had
00:27:24
met Nick he gave a a lot of good information Smith opened up about the details of that night and broke down in
00:27:34
the process you're the only person shown regret I don't understand how how could
00:27:39
you kill somebody and not have any emotion about it and you actually killed him I was just in the situation I'm I'm
00:27:45
I'm devastated I cannot sleep at night prosecutors were closer than ever to having everything they needed to make
00:27:53
their case we've got enough now let's go to trial something Nick shaunessy told us he'd
00:28:01
wanted to avoid did you pay these two men to go kill your parents after police arrested the last
00:28:26
of their four suspects Aran Smith detective Salo says Smith told them he wasn't just there for Ted's murder yes I
00:28:35
was there he acknowledged firing the Fatal shot and then made a stunning request I requested death penalty the
00:28:44
death penalty I killed somebody I deserve a die he also told police where to find
00:28:53
the murder weapon it was the 40 caliber pistol missing from from that box they'd
00:28:59
found in Nick's old bedroom the 40 caliber gun that killed Ted was Ted's yes for a mother who'd struggled for
00:29:09
months to keep faith in her son it felt like the last straw too much had happened that pointed to Nicholas and
00:29:17
Jackie having involvement and Cory was horrified to realize she'd spent months Sheltering
00:29:24
the very people who'd planned to have Ted and her murdered that night what a chilling
00:29:30
thought two people who tried to have you killed and they're living in your home very it's very chilling I bought all the
00:29:38
groceries I paid all the bills I bought her clothing this is diabolical absolutely they thought they had gotten
00:29:45
away with it do you do you prefer Jackie or Jacqueline or ja Jackie but after their arrest it took just a couple of
00:29:52
weeks for Jackie to blame Nick did Nicholas hire somebody par yeah and Jackie seemed to know why he'd
00:30:03
done it she says Nick was in desperate Financial Straits with a failing day trading business and thousands in
00:30:11
overdue loans including at least one from Corey I think his mom gave him $30,000 and she expected money in return
00:30:23
but he wasn't paying her after her cooperation author ities released Jackie On A reduced Bond and prosecutor Amy
00:30:31
Meredith resolved to go after Nick for the maximum we're going to try Nicholas shaes for capital
00:30:40
murder at this point were you prepared to testify against Nick yes Nick shaes and the two alleged
00:30:49
Hitmen were charged with capital murder but by the spring of 2021 Amy Meredith had left her job as as assistant
00:30:57
district attorney and there was a new DA Jose Garza whose office made the men an
00:31:05
offer avoid a possible death sentence by pleading guilty to A reduced charge of murder and served 35 years with the
00:31:14
possibility of parole Leon and Smith agreed and Corey wrote to Nick to suggest he do the same if I could speak
00:31:25
to Ted I think that would been his choice Nick shaunessy accepted the deal he could be released when he's 36 in the
00:31:34
summer of 20123 we visited him in prison near Houston did you hire people to go kill your parents yes Jackie and I
00:31:45
participated in multiple aspects to never mind participated in multiple aspects did you pay these two men to go
00:31:53
kill your parents yes Nick told us he's sorry for all of it I know that I'm here
00:32:01
because of those actions Nick at the end of the day are you sorry for what you did or are you sorry that you got caught
00:32:07
I'm most truly passionately sorry for what I did and Nick told us he never would have done it if not for Jackie it
00:32:17
was a very toxic relationship although he stood to inherit his parents money eventually he
00:32:23
told us he wasn't prepared to wait were you you at all thinking what am I doing of course it was always in the back of
00:32:33
my head like red flags like stop don't go the back of your head why not the front of your head I guess the the the
00:32:42
validation or approval from Jackie it is hard to know how much Jackie Edison should be blamed or what punishment she
00:32:50
deserves and jurors won't get to decide she too got a deal from the office of the new d a for pleading guilty to
00:32:59
conspiracy to commit capital murder By Terror threat or other felony a jail sentence of 120 days and 10 years
00:33:09
probation it's it's astounding it's absolutely astounding she began serving her time in June of
00:33:16
2023 it is an outright dismissal of everything that I went through as a victim and it's a dismissal of Ted's
00:33:23
life three are doing 35 years one is doing 120 days Cory says that's outrageous what are your thoughts I had
00:33:34
no involvement once I left the District Attorney's office on Jackie's case Amy Meredith was working elsewhere before
00:33:41
prosecutors offered the plea deals Cory's feelings aren't lost on her do you understand her rage I I absolutely
00:33:51
understand that she is upset Cory is so upset that when the new prosecutors asked her to appear at
00:33:59
Jackie's 2023 plea hearing she refused instead recording this video at home to be played in court I'm alive because
00:34:08
your plan to have me murdered didn't succeed you are a monster you are evil and everyone needs
00:34:19
to know it you knew what was about to happen and yet you sat home and did nothing because
00:34:26
you want wanted it to happen we wanted to ask Jackie Edison about that and other things but she declined our
00:34:33
request for an interview on the day she was released from jail our producer Jenna Jackson approached her hey
00:34:46
jacine what do you make of Nick Shaun's apology see more evidence from the case at 48
00:34:55
hours.com [Music] Corey and Nick shaunessy haven't spoken directly since his 2018
00:35:14
arrest when you look in the mirror do you see evil my mom stated that me being evil I don't see evil and me and these
00:35:23
days it's safe to say they don't see eye to eye in fact there may be only one thing they
00:35:31
do agree on Jackie is not a victim this is a 50/50 thing most definitely did Jaclyn Edison get away with murder
00:35:41
absolutely on October 17th 2023 Jackie Edison walked out of an Austin area jail after serving her 4 month sentence
00:35:53
hey jacine we'd been asking for an interview for months I don't want to do the interviews but our producer Jenna
00:36:00
Jackson had some questions for her anyway Nick got 35 years the Hitman got the same you got 120 days are you
00:36:08
getting away with murder no I think that I think that it's fair I think it accurately
00:36:17
reflects the level of involvement Corey and Nick have both told us is that you were a partner in
00:36:24
this murder plot yeah I think Nick is is saying whatever has to say to kind of clear his name um and cor is very
00:36:35
much in denial about what really happened you weren't in on this plot and not in didn't get money out to pay the
00:36:42
hit man no man is she innocent absolutely not no she knew she knew what he was trying to
00:36:51
do she could have stopped this at any time I tried to stop him but investigators say there is no
00:36:59
evidence Jackie ever tried to stop the murder she's no printice in this and according to what Nick told authorities
00:37:07
Jackie had been making plans for spending the shaunas money I found out that Jackie had already picked out the
00:37:15
car she was going to buy her mother with the money that they made off of the murder of you and Ted yes I'm not
00:37:21
defending her to by any degree though she did eventually help them make their case against the person they identified
00:37:29
as the key culprit they're both to blame who took more action it's Nick you take
00:37:36
Nick out of this you don't have the incident you take Jackie out still happens do you understand Corey's
00:37:45
frustration I do absolutely and we empathize with her but more and Salos say Jackie's plea
00:37:53
deal wasn't their call our job ended at the arrest and there's not a single step
00:37:59
further that we can take it we wanted to ask da Jose Gara exactly why Jackie Edison got 120 days after the
00:38:09
other three got 35 years but he wouldn't agree to an interview a district attorney spokesperson sent us a
00:38:17
statement saying quote our office takes acts of violence seriously and is committed to holding people who commit
00:38:24
violent crimes accountable the statement also said Edison is on 10 years probation and if she violates the terms
00:38:32
she could face 20 years in prison Corey shaunessy says a full explanation from authorities would have helped her make
00:38:41
sense of something that has always struck her as impossibly wrong so no one's ever explained to you why this
00:38:49
enormous disparity in sentence no absolutely not it's a slap in the face to my mother now you're concerned about
00:38:58
your mother most definitely true or not Nick shaunessy told us he hopes someday Corey will
00:39:07
agree to speak with him what would you say to her I wish I could tell my mom how truly
00:39:14
sorry I am that this is not something I'm proud of and I failed her as a son it means nothing to me do you think
00:39:26
he believes it what he's saying I don't know that person I have no idea who Nicholas
00:39:35
shanesy is and Corey says there is no point responding to an apology she was never meant to hear in
00:39:46
my mind I am supposed to be dead and so I'm a ghost and ghosts can't speak but even after a betrayal no
00:39:56
mother should ever have to see Corey still can't bring herself to condemn her son altogether do you still love your
00:40:05
son I love the person I knew to be my son before this happened you love that 8-year-old boy racing cars with his dad
00:40:15
yes she knows that boy is gone forever and so is the life she and Ted tried to build around him Nicholas and Jackie
00:40:23
destroyed my entire world they took my husband they took memories they took my business they took everything I had that
00:40:36
I cared about but now living out of State under a different name Corey is determined to
00:40:45
make the most of every day it'll always be there it'll always be a part of who I
00:40:53
am but I've been given life and I need to do something with [Music] [Music] it she had like a really infectious
00:41:16
smile and like the loving heart beloved friend and daughter taken too soon what happened to her in this car Kay's
