Speaker 2: (00:08)
But just to let you all know, and I just spoke with [inaudible 00:00:10].

Oh, I know you did.
Speaker 2: (00:10)
You’re not blocking me, are you?
Speaker 1: (00:11)
No, no, no.
Speaker 3: (00:11)
No, no, no.
Speaker 1: (00:12)
Turn this way.
Speaker 2: (00:13)
No, just so you all know, obviously, we’re not going to release anything. We have people in our community being buried soon. We’re going to be respectful.
Speaker 1: (00:22)
I just want your reaction to the Director McCraw saying that you were responsible for the decision to go into that room. How do you explain yourself to the parents?

We’re going to be respectful to the family.

And just so you know, we’re going to do that eventually, obviously.
Speaker 1: (00:38)
When?
Speaker 2: (00:38)
And whenever this is done, and we let the families quit grieving, then we’ll do that, obviously. And just so everybody knows.

Do you understand how the family feels?

We’ve been in contact with DPS every day, just so you all know.

They say you’re not. They say that you’re not cooperating.
Speaker 2: (00:52)
I’ve been on the phone with them every day.
Speaker 1: (00:54)
They say you’re not cooperating. Just two seconds.
Speaker 2: (00:57)
Just so you know, we’ve been talking to them every day. I appreciate y’all.
Speaker 1: (00:58)
What is your reaction to that?
Speaker 2: (01:01)
Y’all have a good day.
