“Can you imagine what it’s like to know that someone has gone into your home ... Imagine what it’s like and what kind of person it takes to go back and pick up an innocent defenseless woman whose son is sleeping right next to her ... Can you imagine what it was like to be that woman? ... You wake up. You don’t know what’s going on.... Oh, my God. What’s happening? ... Who is this man coming into your home? ... Your four year old son comes to your head and he’s got his arms around your head and you’re terrified that something will happen to your son.”
