waggoner now believes he knows the reason behind his horrible ordeal. i spoke with him exclusively a short time ago via skype. paul, it's great to see you free. how does it feel to be out of prison? >> it's awesome. it feels great. >> how did this happen today, that yesterday we spoke with your colleague, and it wasn't clear exactly whether or not you were going to be freed. so tell us how it came to be today. >> well, big paul pushed it and pushed it until it went through. i had actually just finished dinner and laid down to go to sleep, whenever the guards came through and told me it was time to release me, for me to get dressed and be ready to go in a few minutes. >> what was prison like there for you? how scared were you that you might never have gotten out? >> well, due to all the delays, it was kind of beginning to look like it would possibly drag out for a long time and maybe even go, you know, a bad direction.
