"Well, just what I was saying at the beginning," she says. "As you can see, we're put through enough as it is. And I think that was the problem early on in Aruba. We've had each official who has given us that false hope, and a family doesn't need that. They need facts. They don't need false hope, because we can deal with the truth."
"I know you can," says Steve. "You've dealt with so much already. There's no question that in the early days there were decisions that were made that if we had to make them again, I'm sure we'd make different decisions.
But as we go forward now, this case is beginning to come together. There were reports in the last week or so that we were going to give it up. We're not going to give it up. There are so many other things that still have to be explored."
"Did you say to them these boys were going to be brought in within 10 days and re-interrogated?" Dr. Phil asks.
"Yes, I did," he replies. "But I also knew that the prosecutor had a choice to make." He says the choice was whether or not to reveal new evidence right away, if waiting meant a better chance of getting a conviction later.
