Episode #079
“Each year we want [the garden] just to grow, and grow and grow.... Her little body can’t grow anymore so this is her body, and I want people to realize that. This is her...

On August 1, 2015 Glendale Police Officer Eric Guse was at an event at the pet store that had raised money for his dog’s new ballistic vest when the call came in. Officer Guse had gotten carjacking calls before, but this one would change his life.

Officer Guse was grazed. And the driver, Deandre Wise got shot in the leg. This is Deandre Wise’s sentencing hearing.
