i didn t know what to do. i was kind of just taken aback by the image. within seconds the dumpster was in flames, and brewer was incinerated. were you afraid of kasey that night? that night, yeah. what were you afraid of? i was afraid of getting stabbed. i didn t have nothing on me to protect myself. since link is already convicted and sentenced for his part in the murder, he is eligible to serve his time in a general population dorm with far fewer restricts than the confinement unit. that frustrates kasey ackerman. he is in general population right now. but they want to keep me behind this door. it s not right, you know what i m saying? i feel like i m being punished and at this point all i can do is prepare my mind for the worst and hope for the best. you going to be all right? in the next cell over, brian singletary is also frustrated with being in confinement, and it s only been a little more than a day now. when he first arrived at intake, jail officials confisca
shirt off, showing his tattoos off to all the guys and then he was showing them off to me. would you describe kasey as a jealous person? yeah. dimauro claims that not long after brewer s arrival, she went out for the evening. next thing i know, the police were knocking at the door in the morning, and i answered the door. when i answered the door, they said that we need to come in for questioning for murder. and i was really surprised. and i was like where? who? who got murdered? prosecutors say dimauro not only knew about the murder but helped to clean up the blood afterwards, and then covered for some of here roommates who committed the murder. if convicted, ackerman, the alleged ringleader could face the death penalty. but he says he had nothing to do with it. we were drinking and i m saying we were doing pills, smoking pot, just different stuff inside the apartment, and i fell asleep on the couch watching a movie.
you know what i mean? i spend my days thinking about her, what we should do, what we can do. i wish that i could write her but she don t write back. in jail inmates in different housing units are not allowed to correspond, but someone else has been writing to dimauro. yeah, there s a lot of letters. dimauro recently reconnected with a former co-worker and they have forged a romantic bond. love you, rosanna. p.s. i hope you like the card. he s a good guy. he takes care of me in here. he gives me money for canteen and visits me every day. he writes me letters every day. i am locked in the cell for 24 hours a day. and he is there with the caring words that somebody needs to hear. i probably done lost my chance, you know what i m saying. she s probably going to move on, find another person to be with. it hurts in some ways, you know what i m saying, but there is nothing i can do about it if she wants to be with me or someone else. i wanted to spend the rest of my life with her
initiated the attack after the victim fell asleep in the bedroom. i just heard some banging around. i didn t know exactly what was happening. at one point kasey came out and i was trying to ask what was going on, he was like you don t need to know about it. he said it s better if you don t know. link said that ackerman ordered him to buy gasoline and bring it back to the apartment. when he returned, things were worse. he had stab wounds in his neck and his chest and then later on after that i witnessed them stabbing him and they had taken all of his clothes. and at that point everything just kind of hit me what they were doing. link says he assumed the gasoline would be used to burn brewer s clothes, but instead he claims ackerman and their two other male roommates stuffed brewer inside a duffel bag and stuffed him in a dumpster. i thought he was dead because he wasn t moving, he wasn t doing nothing. but then i looked in the duffel bag, and it was moving, in and out. and kas
i mean, i didn t hear no commotion or nothing going on. if ackerman and dimauro are found guilty, it may be due in part to the testimony of dimauro s 19-year-old son david link. he s accepted a plea deal for his part in the murder and is cooperating with the prosecutors. i m getting charged with accessory after the fact to first degree murder. and they re going to give me 34.5 months, followed by five years probation. i told them everything i knew from my perception, everything i saw happen in order to help them realize what happened. i feel like i did the right thing. link is in a separate housing unit at the hillsborough county jail, where he will serve out his sentence. he told prosecutors his mother was not out as she claimed but was in the apartment during the entire ordeal and that ackerman
