News reports discuss the large amount of information not allowed into this trial on both sides. Officer Nelson's voluntary statement was blocked by the court as evidence. Now that you are able to read it as it's posted on a quick google search, would it have changed anything for you?
Honestly, I was not aware that was out there, but now have read it. From the way you are asking, I am assuming you know and care for Jeff Nelson. You absolutely deserve an answer to that question, but the truth is, I don't know. I know that I really wanted to hear from him in some way. I did not make any judgement or find him guilty because I didn't hear from him, but I do wonder if it would have changed anything if he did. I lieu of hearing from him personally on the stand, I would have liked seeing the statement. I do want you to know that I pray for Jeff and all of the people that love him. I similarly pray for those that knew and love Jesse Sarey. I understand that might sound like a hollow platitude; I assure you it is not and I am genuinely pained for what you all must be going through. As much as I am certain that Jesse Sarey is a loved child of God, I believe the same about Jeff Nelson.
Former Officer Nelson's voluntary statement was made an entire month after he murdered Jesse. It was obviously heavily carefully worded with attorney oversight and input. It was neither candid nor fresh on his mind.
