Chapters

Bunch of meth addicts breaking into houses. I was a meth addict myself, but the jury heard the story of a guy named Damon West. This guy that had it all. Mick. I came from this wonderful town called Port Arthur, Texas. I had two parents in my home. My parents were married 55 years. You know, great high school quarterback, division one, starting quarterback at North Texas. Got injured, career got cut short, got into drugs. But I had some of the best jobs you can imagine. I was. I worked in the United States Congress. I worked for a guy running for president. Then I became a Wall street stockbroker. And it was at that job as a broker in Dallas in 2004 that I was introduced to meth. And once I was introduced to meth, the wheels came off. I was homeless after 18 months living on the streets, and I put together a burglary crew, and we started breaking into homes all over Dallas. And, Mick, when I broke into people's homes, I didn't just steal their property. I stole their sense of security. And I know I took it from them. They can't get that back.
