A plea deal sent the speaker to prison for four years instead of the 30 to 46 years they faced. Their husband Dennis warned against taking it. When they came home, Dennis didn't recognize them at first, a moment that crystallized how much those years had changed them.
Landed me in prison for 4 years. I came home one day and Dennis pointed, my husband pointed at my forehead. He said, where are you? And I said, I'm right here. What do you mean? Where am I at? He said, no, you're not. You're somewhere. You're somewhere else. And that, that got me thinking. And he, he begged me to not do a deal that I did. And I was at the brunt of some things that shouldn't have happened. Landed me in prison for 4 years. 4 years in prison. Now, wasn't it a 32-year sentence? Oh, it was up to, it was, yes, I was looking at 30 years. It was 46. Man, you would have been 76 coming out.
