first of all, i had back surgery this morning because i had a compression fracture in my back. and was in a great deal of pain and i still am in some pain. but it's much better than it was before. but i'm under an anesthetic. and when i was called earlier, i had no idea of how i was going to feel and right now -- >> i understand. well, you sound -- >> how i feel about this? >> yes, what is your reaction to this development? >> well, first of all, there's not a way they can erase what was said during the first trial. what was said at the first trial is still in evidence. i'm sure. so, you know, i have not given up. i -- and i do believe michael skakel killed my daughter. i don't believe there is any doubt in that.
