I'll fight, but it's also my job to look out for your best interest.

So I called home, and I talked to Daryl, and he said, "Well, you're gonna have to make a plea." And I said, "No, I'm not gonna plea." He said, "Well, you don't have to plead that you're guilty." And I said, "I've told everybody how I feel about this." So we went back and forth on it, and he told me Steve said that I would choose to go to court.

And Campbell told him, "Well, if she goes to court, it'll be at least a year or two before she sees the inside of a courtroom." And I told Daryl, "I guess I won't be coming home 'cause I'm not gonna plead." By this time, I'm crying, and he said, "It's not fair to me and the kids.

We know you're innocent."

When Tonya hung up, she carried the weight of the decision back to her cell, her family, her health, the years slipping away, and for the first time, she let herself wonder whether innocence was something she had to prove.

So I went back to the room

roomAnd I was crying and praying and asking the Lord, "Please let me know what to do." And I ended up falling asleep crying, crying myself to sleep.

And when I woke up the next morning, I knew what I was gonna do.

The two stood four feet apart on a dark stretch of nowhere, and when Nash finally caught his breath...

He had the gun aimed at me, and he said, "I told you what I would do if you tried to get away." And at that point, I decided I had nothing to lose.

He was drunk, so I lunged, and when I lunged, knocked the gun out of his hand, and we struggled, and he managed to get to the gun, and he said, "If you ever do anything like that again, you're dead."

After they ditched the Fairlane...

We were in a cab, and we were on a back road, and I told Nash, I said, "I'm gonna be sick." And so the cab driver stopped, and I got out of the car, and I walked back behind the cab about 15 feet to a ditch, and I pretended like I was being sick, and I moved down the ditch further away from the cab and acted like I was getting sick again.

And a truck came by, and I tried to flag down the truck, but the truck just passed me by, and then I just took off running.
