We the jury find the defendant David Mark Temple guilty of murder as charged in the
00:00:09
indictment. David Temple was convicted after a six-week trial by a fair and impartial jury for executing his wife
00:00:17
and unborn child. He was given a life sentence. He's sitting behind bars and that's where he deserves to be. My name
00:00:24
is Kelly Sigler. I was a Harris County prosecutor for 21 years. You have the right to expect us to tell you the
00:00:31
truth. The last murder case I handled here in Harris County was the David Temple case. David Temple was in Katy
00:00:39
High School a big man on campus because he was a big football star out there. Belinda Temple, the kind of girl that
00:00:46
nobody could say anything ugly or bad about. They had a son named Evan and the facts of the case were just so different
00:00:55
and horrible. We've been covering the case of David Temple for eight years, and he has always maintained his
00:01:01
innocence. Now, dramatic new developments may give him a shot at freedom. I've known it from day one that
00:01:09
this day would come, and um we're getting close to the end. I know this has been a 16-year journey for
00:01:20
David and our family. And we are here today to say again, David is innocent. I do not believe David Temple got a fair
00:01:32
trial. No person with eyes and ears and half a brain can say David Temple got a fair trial. Mr. Darren made the argument
00:01:38
that there were more than one burglar. Dick Darren was the trial lawyer for David Temple. Dick did the best that he
00:01:44
could with what he had. We objected and asked that she stay in the record. There are new attorneys with new
00:01:52
ammunition. On my left is the complete investigative report. This was never seen. This is what was suppressed.
00:02:02
[Music] Did you turn over the 1400 pages of police reports? No. Every single thing
00:02:10
under the law Mr. Degaran was entitled to was turned over to him. I care about what I do. I care
00:02:20
about the process. And this process shook me. Kids in Katie, lots of them got shotguns. There were alternate
00:02:29
suspects in this case. What in the world do they have to do with who killed Belinda Temple? Nothing. She lied. She
00:02:36
cheated. and she broke the rules. That's not That's not Now the former prosecutor is on the defensive.
00:02:46
Eventually, everybody's going to understand that the truth is what happened in that courtroom and it's all
00:02:52
going to finally be over with. We call upon the Harris County District Attorney to immediately reopen the case. If David
00:02:59
Temple doesn't get a new trial and due process is dead in Texas and we should all just go home.
