i was waiting for him to come out. but he didn t. so the police end up coming instead. both bell and smith were arrested trying to flee the scene. and the alleged murder weapon was found nearby. when i first caught this case i scratched my name and david bell s name into a desk in the first cell that i was in when i was an intake. smith says she and bell wrote letters for the first year in jail. i was communicating with him at first. but then when i came to my senses and thought about everything, when everything hit me, that s when i stopped. mith says she stopped in part because s felt like bl was trying to urge her not to testify against him. he told me several times not to say something or told me what to say. but i did my best to refrain from discussing the case. because whatever i m would say probably could come back to haunt me later on. bell says he now expects
And now the good people got to get me out. and today amariye has come for a visit along with his grandmother shannon. who are you seeing, ma am? annishia smith. when annishia went to jail, i didn t give it a second thought about raising my grandson. i went and i got him. and he s been with me ever since. this is not how i planned on spending my 40s. i was more so thinking the kids were going to be grown. it was going to be easier. i m gonna be able to sit back and relax. see my grand kids on sundays. none of that s true. he s getting ready to turn five this year. and she s been here ever since he was one. and this is the only real contact he s had as far as mother and child goes with his mother, that he can remember.
Would have pursued criminal charges against mr. bell. though bell won t face criminal charges he is serving 15 days in disciplinary segregation, where he s confined to a single cell 23 hours a day and loses all privileges. i m looking at it in a positive aspect. i got 15 days to think and better myself. it don t matter where they put me. but now bell s time in segregation is interrupted. his trial has started. i ve been waiting for this moment for three years. what was it like seeing your family today? it s real rare for me to get emotional. but my mom is one of the people that touched my heart. so when i saw her cry, that did something to me. it made me cry because we been through a whole lot. bell could get the death penalty for a home invasion murder he allegedly carried out with annishia smith. and testifying against bell to better her own situation is still an option for smith.
Situation. it s crazy. but you got to stay strong. remember, regardless of what go on. you still got amariye. you still got to be here for him. i know. you got to understand something. you might not be able to be there physically for him but you can be there emotionally and mentally. i know. it s all good. tell her you love her. say bye-bye. bye-bye. get your book, get your glass. tell her bye. coming up annishia smith changes her story. i pretty much was in the car for a majority of the time. but there was a time that night that i was in the house.
