Her husband told us that doctors said the knife missed her vital organs by millimeters. And I tell you all of this,
00:00:08
Linda's stories, the details of it, not to be overly graphic for entertainment or shock value. We asked Linda's
00:00:15
permission to go into detail, and she allowed it because she and we want you to know exactly who Ernest Pine is. She
00:00:23
and her family want you to really understand what he is capable of and what kind of threat that he could be to
00:00:28
other women out there. Because at Ernest indictment hearing in 2008, the one where he gets slapped with seven
00:00:36
charges, Linda's family learns for the first time that she may not have been his first victim. Now, Linda and her
00:00:45
husband, they didn't go to that. She was still recovering. So, her husband's dad
00:00:49
[music] went in their place. And so he was the one who first felt this big mix of emotions, thrilled as he came in that
00:00:57
this man would be facing real charges. >> And then horror when the strangest thing
00:01:03
happened right before the hearing started, something that you won't find in any of the case files or reporting.
00:01:09
Linda's father-in-law happened to sit right behind this guy at the hearing that he didn't know. And this guy turned
00:01:15
around and asked him if this was the courtroom that Ernest Pine was [music] going to be in. Linda's father-in-law
00:01:21
said yes and went on to explain Linda's case a little. And the next thing that came out of the other man's mouth set a
00:01:27
chilling and ominous tone for the next year to follow while they waited for a trial. According to Linda's family,
00:01:34
[music] the other man said that he was there for his daughter-in-law, too, because he believed 16 years before
00:01:41
Linda's attack, Ernest murdered her.
