To find a suspect
While He's asking Questions about who Would want to harm Sandra it was Almost like A light Bulb went Off in his Head?
Tracey Humphrey
Was a bodybuilder with a shady past
Looking at his History Going from police Reports and Criminal History he Seemed to have a Pattern of Violence he, was
Also due to face Sandra in Court on a serious assault charge in Less Than a Month he, was looking at 10 Years in Prison
But he Had an Airtight Alibi for the night of the Shooting he was 3040 Miles away at the Time of the Homicide
So if Not Tracey Humphrey then, who the Mystery Would lead to the unlikeliest of suspects A
Bright Young woman with a tragic past and a Bodybuilder With a history of Violence the key Question was who Pulled the trigger
in The Autumn of 2001
36, Year-Old Sandra Rizzo, Was Working in The vip bar of The Inferno a tampa night Club?
It was the Perfect Job for the Vivacious Fitness Fanatic?
She was
Superduper Nice You know She's very Friendly she just had Such A big Heart and
If She Thought she Could Help you in Any Way
She would do her Best to try to Help you?
Sandra Struck Up A Friendship With a, muscular bouncer who, was new to the Club
35 Year Old Timothy Humphrey, was Known as Tracy to his Friends
When I first met Tracy, well the first Thing I thought, was God what A good-Looking man very nice a Soft-Spoken
Charming
Funny
It was very Intimidating?
Not only was Tracy Intimidating but According to what he Told his Friends he, also had an impressive Background
He Say he Model for Hugo boss you know he Played Football for the Bucs as he
Was new to the inferno Sandra offered to help him meet some People and Find his bearings
She was trying to help him?
Meet New People Make new Friends but Tracy Misunderstood her Friendliness and Generosity and before Long he, was Asking her out
He Just
Didn't Wanna Take no for an answer
On the Evening of The 22nd of February?
2002 Four Months After They'd Met Sandra alleged That Tracy Crossed the line
According to what Sandra Told the Police after Giving her A ride Home from Work Tracy Invited Himself in
he then Assaulted her
She alleged he he Raped her and Beat her Up he
Would not Let her leave, wouldn't Let her go to Work, wouldn't Let her See her Friends
Finally Sandra Convinced Him to Let her go
She Had Plans to fly up to Pennsylvania
So he drove her to the Airport When he Dropped her Off at the airport She called A friend
to Say what Happened and That friend in You Know Helped her Contact law enforcement
Tracy was Arrested and Charged With assault
But Sandra Rizzo Would Never Get her day in Court There, was A lot more to tracy than she or Anyone Else Had realized
Due to his Past Record he, was looking at an Enhancement as a habitual offender in Looking at ten Years in Prison
Tracey Humphrey Had Been in Prison before and he was determined Never to go back
He Would Tell People that he'd die Before he'd go back to Prison again
As Tracy's court Date Approached he Left the inferno and Began working at. A Gym in The Tampa Commuter Town of Brandon
There in September
2002 he Met 19-Year Old Ashley Laney, who came in One day looking to sign up for a trial Membership I
Was the Fitness Director and I?
Used to Help with sales so they asked me Come in and Talk to her and Tell her about the Gym and
Tell her about, what I would do for her to Help her?
So i did and We kind of Immediately Developed a rapport
Ashley Had Troubles of her Own
Her Father, was in Jail for sexual Battery by the time She was Born in 1982?
and
Because her Mother Had Problems With Substance Abuse
Ashley Had Been Brought up Mainly by her Grandmother
Growing Up in Brandon ashley, was A bright child, who Had Managed to stay out of Trouble
her Father
Was in Prison her Mother was an Alcoholic however With Ashley Herself She?
Was A very Good student in School
But When her Grandmother died during Ashley's Final Year at high School
Things Started to Fall Apart
She Still Managed to Graduate With Honors
But Dropped out of University in her first Year She
Took A Job in A cafe in A local Shopping Center Across the road from the Gym where Tracey Humphrey Worked
She went in There and
you Know They Started Talking and They Became Friends
The Two hit it off but Tracey, wasn't Entirely Honest with ashley he Had Lied About
His past to other Friends and he Told the same lies to ashley
Here's a guy, who!
you Know
Basically Would tell All These lies that he Had been A star Player in the Rose bowl
that he Had Once Played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
That he Modeled Underwear and Italy you know, he Had all These These Grand Stories
After A few Training Sessions The 35 year Old weightlifter Asked the Teenager out to Dinner
Even Though he was very in
Overpowering in His Physical Image and Intimidating that way he Talked very Sensitive and
Just Made You believe that he, was A very Soft gentle Person
Soon They were Seeing each other Regularly
She, was A real good friend With Benefits but She was always She Didn't Push me like Everybody Else was they Wanted?
Exclusivity and She did Too but She Didn't push it We Became kind of?
Sex Buddies he was Dating other Women and I was Seeing other Guys But I was Monogamous in The bed With him She was Young?
and impressionable
She Absolutely Adored him and She Would and did do Anything for him that he Wanted her to do
But ashley Had, no idea that her New Lover Had Been in and out of Prison for the last 15 Years
he was from Iowa and he Got Involved in Criminal Activity When he moved here to Florida and
He was in and out trouble with the law Had Done some Time in State Prison A significant Portion of his Prior Record
Was Violence Aimed at women?
And ashley, also Didn't know that tracy, was Still Facing Charges
Relating to the alleged Rape of Sandra Rosa
By Early 2003 Ashley Laney, had Left her Job at the cafe and was working With Tracey Humphrey at the gym
Still Unaware of Humphries Past Ashley Began Dating him Exclusively
She Confided to her Hairdresser that She was Happier Than ever She
Did Tell me that She felt like She Finally Found someone who Understood her
in This whole Time I was Thinking Pointedly in
March Ashley Moved in With Tracey it, was at. That Point that I felt the need to
Give her and a Heads-Up if you will
About The Situation With Sandy and
Just about me you know I
Didn't I don't want that Sneaking up on me
So i just came Clean
Tracy Claimed he was Completely innocent and that Sandra Had Made the whole thing Up to get back at him for seeing other Women
He Told her These Things and She Bought it Hook line and Sinker
According to Ashley Tracy, also told her he Would do Anything to avoid going back to Jail
Tracy Really Pounded, Into her Head that They Couldn't be Together
Anymore if he, was sent to Prison and
That he Would do Anything
They Even Talked, About a suicide pact at one Time
He Talked about going on the on the lam Tracy always Said how he Would Commit Suicide before go to Prison he's a guy
Who never got in Prison again
in the Summer of
2003 After A fight over an alleged Affair tracy, was Having at Work
Ashley Left and went to her Mother's House
Tracy Followed her There so
I went Home i started Telling her everything
When I'm in The Middle of the story?
Tracy Pulls Up to the House and my mom, was like Please, don't go out There Please
Don't go out There I'm Gonna Call the Police
But the Police were Never Called and Tracey and Ashley were Reconciled
He Said I promise you won't have to do this just come back you know, We'll Work something out I can't live Without you I?
Came to Realize I don't think I'm Gonna find this again, no
Do I want to Keep looking When I have I have this Wonderful Girl
So i jumped in Blast her Name
Instead of an Engagement Ring the couple opted for something more permanent I
Just got in his Tattoo his Name on my back and he Had got my Name on his back on
The 4th of July Less Than A year after They met
Tracy Humphrey and Ashley Laney, were Married at the gym
He Said When do you want your Wedding Date to be I said
Well how About july 4th you know it'd be cool to have Fireworks
On our Anniversary so we had our Papers Notarized and that was the extent of our Wedding?
We were Both Training Clients and we're Having our Papers Notarized and?
That Night, We went out to Dinner at the cheesecake Factory?
The Newlyweds Dinner The Following Night, was even More modest a takeaway Pizza
But as the Police Would Soon Discover that Dinner Would turn out to be far more significant
At 10:30 p.m. On the 5th of July Sandra Rizzo Ended her Shift at
the Green Iguana Where She'd Gone To Work after leaving the inferno
She got, Into her BMW and headed for her Apartment in Pinellas Park Florida
About Half an Hour's Drive away
Her Boyfriend Tony Polical, was at. Home Waiting for her
he Had gone To bed Early he Said he Heard something like Fireworks he Didn't Think Anything about it and
Then After a while he Thought, well Since She's Been Home where is she
Tony Went Downstairs to Look for Sandra at about 11:15 p.m.
When he Opened the door to the Garage he, saw that her car, was in it but Something was Horribly Wrong
He ran, over to the car and She was Slumped, over the Seat and he wasn't sure Exactly?
Because he was so upset he, Didn't know what it was and
He Picked Up her Cell Phone he Called 9-1-1 When I first got There I was Briefed by the Patrol sergeant who?
Was working he and the Officers that were There Said There was a shooting?
He Would Soon Discover that it was not Just A shooting it was murder
The Police Would Quickly Identify a suspect the only Problem he Had an Airtight Alibi
The First Shock that I got, was when the Pizza Guy Told?
Me he did Deliver The Pizza There he did deal With a person whose physical Description Matched Tracey Humphrey
Just after 11:00 p.m. On the 5th of july
2003 The Police and Paramedics Were Called To an Apartment in Pinellas Park Florida
Inside The Garage They Found 37, Year-Old Sandra Roseau Slumped in The driver's Seat of her BMW
the
Driver's Side Window was smashed and then inside The vehicle Especially on the Passenger side Seat and Floorboard
There was
A lot of Blood and then
Also on The driver's Seat Up toward the top There was also good amounts of Blood by the Time detective Golazeski
Arrived at the Scene Sandra Had Already Been Rushed to hospital
At 12:04 a.m. She was Officially Pronounced Dead
She was Shot in the head Which Would have been A fatal wound and
She had Three other Bullet wounds to her Upper Torso
There was one Shot in her Foot and I believe one Or two in her Leg
She was so Shot Up, we had to have A closed Casket
She Would not Have Wanted Anybody to See her Like that
Sandra Had Been Shot eight Times
The Police Secured The Crime Scene and Began Collecting Evidence
We did Recover multiple Shell casings
There Were some Blood at the Scene that ischl ii We Didn't know
What that was who that was Gonna Lead to but the Shell Casings About
The Shells Had Been Fired from A 22 caliber Weapon Probably a Pistol
It was A 22 Caliber gun it was A semi-Automatic which Would Have Ejected The Shell casings?
The Obvious Question, was who Wanted sam durazo Dead?
You Have to be pretty Cold-Hearted to Walk up to someone not Only Shoot him one Time but Shoot him eight Times
As soon as We can we start Interviewing
People who know our Victim and
That Usually will Lead Us in A Direction of Potential suspects as
Crime Technicians Continue to Work the Scene
Detectives Sat down With Sandra's Distraught boyfriend
He and i sat down at his Table and it
Was almost like A light Bulb went Off in his Head When, We were I was asking Questions about who Would want to?
Harm Sandra
Family Members, also Told The Detective About Sandra's Upcoming court Date With Tracey Humphrey the
Trial was set to Begin on the 4th of August Almost Exactly a month from the day of the murder
And i told him about the incident that Happened and
That Sandy Had Been Threatened That he Threatened to Kill her and all of her Family that
Was the Person if Anyone Wanted to Harm Sandra it Would be him?
The Next Morning The Police Began A Background Check on Tracy Humphrey
We subpoena a lot of Records in A case like this when We have suspects who are?
I would Say lack of A better term that is Viable that Appear to have some Connection you know Credit Credit Records
Bank Records Cell Phone Records
They Confirmed That not Only Had Tracy, Been Arrested for the Battery of Sandra Rosa
He had, also served Time in Jail for similar Charges against other Women
Looking at his History Going from police Reports and Criminal History he Seemed to have a Pattern of Violence he
Was looking at A Felony Crime and?
He, was looking at a potential Prison Sentence as A result of That Because of the prior Criminal Conduct ere
We decided to take a look at his possible Involvement
on Monday the 7th of July the police Made the 40-Mile Drive from Pinellas Park to Brandon
We went over to hillsborough County where Tracy Humphrey was Living and Knocked on the door?
Left A card on the door and
Asked That Tracey Humphrey Called Me in Reference to A case I was working
Tracy Called Back and Left A message Offering to meet them later at the Gym but when the detectives arrived Tracy refused to talk
he told me that he Had an Attorney for the Battery case and
The Attorney Advised Him Not to Talk to Anyone About miss Roses Death
During The Course of Their Investigation
The Police Also Discovered That Tracy Had Recently got Married We learned if he Had Been Married the day before the Homicide
to Ashley and so we Proceeded to
Try and Interview Ashley who was at
Home that Same day that they had Tried to talk to tracy
We asked her About the Weekend in Question she told us she had Gotten Married on July 4th?
Which was a day before the homicide i asked her if She went on a honeymoon if they, were out at now
Did They do Anything and She she told me They Basically Stayed local and went to a beach
Then The detectives Asked her About the Following Night the night that Santa Rosa was gunned Down in her Garage
We were able to get statements from her that they, were Home that Night that he ordered Pizza they, had A friend over her friend
Toby White was Over and She?
Gave me the he Had a Phone Number and A cell Phone and A home Number to reach toby white
But Halfway Through the interview
Tracy Came Home and Abruptly Ended The Questioning
He was so Mad, his his head, was Purple that I mean Red and Purple that's how upset he was and
You know, he Just Didn't Want her Talking to Us at all so that was About all I got from from that Interview
It wasn't Much but As detective Golazeski Left the couple's Apartment he got the sense that he, was on to something I?
Knew she Had Knowledge of Something that Had Happened now it's all about
Building The Case Around I got thought on a suspicion so the first Thing I did was
Try to
Destroy Their Alibis but The first Alibi, was Confirmed
The Pizza Shop Had A Credit Card Receipt from Tracey, Humphrey from about the Time of the murder and
The Delivery man was able to identify him from a photo
Now I'm Thinking How Could he Have Committed a homicide
If we've got a Pizza?
Guy Who's Gonna Say he was?
Whatever 3040 Miles away at the Time of the Homicide
next the Police Contacted Toby white to get her to confirm Tracey's other alibi they
Initially Had Called Me and Stated that they were under the Impression that
I was with
Tracy Tonight at the murder and That They Would need to talk to me about that to be agreed to meet them the next day
When I went in To train that night?
Tracy Said no You're not going to talk to them Without a lawyer present and I called them back and Said that I could not
Talk to them
Without Lawyer and Therefore They Said, Well We'll have to do an actual Deposition then on Staff Just an Interview
Toby White gave her Statement A few Weeks later i told Them I went over to tracy's at about
8:30 and was Over There until about 12:30 Or 1:00 in the Morning
She was able to confirm that she, was at the House and They were Both There
With Both Alibis Confirmed the Police were at a dead end
If Tracey Humphrey Hadn't Killed Sandra Rosa, who had
At that Point, We Didn't know what to think
Sandy Had no enemies
Everybody Loved her There was Nobody Else that, We knew That Really?
Would Want her Deceased Although, We We looked at Pretty much Anybody She Knew and Tried to establish that
Information We Followed Up on on all Different leads?
Basically Could find Nobody that Wanted that Wanted her Dead and
Her Family Kept Bringing up his Name
The Police Were Convinced They were on the right Track but they Would have to find Another way to prove it
The Investigation Would Soon Reveal A secret Relationship I
Asked Them Does She know About of Any and
Undercover Surveillance Would Record A Shocking Revelation
in September 2003 Florida Police, Were investigating the murder of 37, Year-Old Sandra Rosa
Their Chief Suspect was Body Builder Tracey Humphrey whom Sandra Had Accused of A serious sexual assault the Year before?
But Tracey Had an Alibi he'd been at. Home Eating a, takeaway Pizza and
One of his Clients Toby White Said She'd Been With Tracey, and his wife ashley that night
We knew at that time that he Could not have, Been The Person who Had Pulled the trigger
But We felt that he Still Had an Interest or a desire and wanting to see her Dead
Despite Tracey's Apparently Airtight Alibis The Police were not Convinced
Still Suspicious They Subpoenaed Tracey and Ashley's Mobile Phone Records it was the Breakthrough they were Looking for?
The Phone Records Showed That Tracey Humphrey May Have been at. Home at the Time of the murder but, ashley, wasn't
Tracie Cellphone was Pinging off of the tower by his House and?
Ashley's Cellphone was Pinging off the tower Right by Where miss rasa, Worked all the way up until the Time miss rasa
Came off Duty and We were able to Determine the Cellphone Towers were getting closer and Closer to the Pinellas Park and
Then Just Minutes after Sandra's murder A tower less Than a mile From her Apartment
Picked Up a call from Ashley's Phone to Tracy's
20 Miles away
The Police Were able to get Cell Phone tower Records to sort of Place ashley at Sandy's Home when the murder occurred?
But What About toby White statement that Both Humphreys, were at. Home all night A
Few Days After She gave her Deposition White Contacted the Police Saying she wanted to meet Them again I
Proceeded to Tell them what was going on that I was?
Lying
But I was Terrified I Didn't know what I was going to do?
White Told the police She knew Nothing About Sandra's Murder and that she hadn't been At Their House that night as She Claimed
She Said Tracy Had Come to her the next day and Asked her to Provide him With an Alibi
He Said I really don't know what I have to do if you
Don't go Along with this I won't be Left with A lot of Options it Scared me Half to Death
The Police Asked her if She'd Be Willing to wear A wire and Tape Conversations between Tracy and ashley she agreed to do so
Cell Phone Records, Indicated that She was Into scary
oh
That was One Thing that
Was a trick
It showed like two, or three Times Those Bouncing off Else When Showers
Right Now Twitch was Killed
I think
The Police, also Spoke to David Abernathy
Ashlee's Mother's Boyfriend who Told Them that Ashlee Had Borrowed a gun from him A few Weeks before the murder
Claiming She needed it for Protection
She had not returned it
The gun, was a semi-Automatic 22 caliber ruger Pistol
He Actually Loaned her a gun that was the same caliber and Same type of strike that our Shell casings Had
By December With mobile Phone Records the Surveillance Tape and the gun The Police Felt they Had Enough Evidence to Arrest
Ashley Humphrey
But They Still believe Traci, was Behind the murder?
We knew we had to arrest Both of Them he to me was A flight Risk?
he Would Have
Left ashley on a Dime and
Gotten Out of There Had We Arrested her for the Homicide and From the surveillance Footage the police were aware that Tracey
Knew that the net, was Closing in on Ashley?
Investigators Had To Move fast
Going Through Traci's Credit Card Records The Police Found a charge from a local Shooting range I
Was able to talk with the people that Work at the Shooting range who were able to
Inform Me Tracey Humphrey was Handling the gun, was Showing Ashley how to Load it?
Handling A gun, was A Violation of Tracey's Parole
Timothy Humphrey, was a Convicted felon we had that he Had been in A gun range Handling Ammunition and Handling a firearm
Investigators Still Didn't Have Enough Evidence To charge Tracey Humphrey with Murder
But they Could Take him Into Custody for a Parole Violation
While They Continued To build Their case on
The 18th of December
2004 Ashlee and Tracey Humphrey, were at Work I was Cleaning the Windows and I remember About 8 Squad Cars
Pulled Up Into The Driveway and I could See Them on the Reflection of the glass door
I was that I was Cleaning? I was like, oh my God?
The Police Approached Ashley first
And They're Like is your Husband Here and I said yes he Is and I'm like okay he's Getting Arrested
So it Still hasn't hit me That I'm Getting Arrested too
Tracey and Ashley Humphrey were Handcuffed and Taken to the police Station
When investigators Sat Ashley Down in an Interrogation Room she refused to Talk
Back Over to Pinellas County and Damage to the charge
The First Debris in my Time what do you mean get
for what Reason I
Think 23 Times She Said I want my lawyer i want my lawyer I
Jokingly Said to my Co-Counsel This Should be the
You know the tape we show all of our Clients and how to Handle the Police?
Interrogation I don't know if I've Ever Seen A client Handle a police Interrogation as, well as she, did
for the next several Hours ashleigh refused to Speak to Investigators that
Evening She was Read her rights and Transported to the Pinellas County Jail so
They Finally booked Me and it, was like okay I'll just kind of Make it Through some Monday When I can get out
When Ashley Finally saw her lawyer on Monday Morning the Reality of her Situation Still hadn't Sunk in
her lawyer However Knew How Serious it was
This is A capital Felony upon Conviction as charged There's only Two possibilities There's life Without
Parole and There's Death and and Either way you, die in Prison
She, also knew that the state Wanted to connect Tracey Humphrey to the murder but Didn't yet Have Enough Evidence
She Thought Prosecutors might be Willing to make A deal in Ashley's Case
But first She'd Have to Convince Ashley to betray her Husband
You don't fall out of love With Somebody the Minute you're in Jail She loved him she loved him and he
Was a themes the most important Person in her Life
But ashley, was about to find out That Nearly everything tracey humphrey. Had Told her since They met, was A lie
In February a, sh, lee's lawyers Came to her With Information that Made her Begin to realize who her Husband Really, was?
They Finally
Were Just like do you know that he's Lied to you he was never A football Player and
Do you know that he was Never a Model for Armani
They, also Told ashley that a number of Tracey's Former Girlfriends Had Accused him of Abuse and Violence
You Have this manipulative schemer who lies About his Background, who, has Just got a terrible
History of Treating Women but it was Tracy's alleged Affairs with men That Finally Broke her
According to a sworn Statement from Ashley's Hairdresser her Husband was bisexual?
Deposition They Showed Me was his
Extracurricular Activities With men do you know that you know he's Been Bisexual and your Hairdresser, Is his Gay lover
Ashley had Had no Idea Hector Said he'd Been Sworn to Secrecy by tracey I
Asked Him Does She know About Us and he Said no
You know so I knew by the way she acted that she had, no idea She just Thought I was a gay friend of his
We were Really close friends my?
Brainwashing Started
Coming Down you know, they, were Just they opened my eyes my attorneys open my eyes
Ashley Finally Agreed to Let her Lawyers Approach the State With an Offer to Testify against her Husband in Return for a reduced Sentence
We sat down With The Decision Makers in The State Attorney's Office Which is A very Nerve-Racking event for A defense Attorney Because you've Now?
Told Them that your Clients Guilty of Homicide, We all Decided
Uniformly that We wanted to find out what she had to Say?
When Ashley Finally sat down With Them on the 2nd of March what she had to Say Would Shock them all?
The Terrible Truth Would Finally Emerge about the murder of Sandra Rosa
You told me that she Would have a Different Look when you know like her soul, was Gone?
On the 2nd of March
2004 After Refusing to Talk for Three Months Ashley Humphrey, met The State Prosecutors
She'd Agreed to Testify against her Husband in Return for a reduced Sentence for the murder of Sandra Rizzo
But first They Wanted to hear what she had to Say
Ashley Told Prosecutors That her Husband Tracy Had Been The Mastermind of the Plot to kill Sandra Rosa
On the night of the murder the Plan was for ashley to Ambush Sandra when she Left Work at the green Iguana I
Had Brown Contacts I had
Black Face Paint my hair
Was secured in A bun and Hidden under A hat I had a quick glance I look like a skinny black man
After Sitting in The Car Park for Hours Waiting for Sandra to Come out She Finally got her Chance
so I was like, well She's getting her car so I turned my car on I
Followed her Out of the Parking Lot I started Following her I called Tracy I told him that it was Going to be over in
A few Minutes
Ashley Followed Sandra All the Way Home Keeping in Constant Contact with tracy, on her mobile Phone Just as the records Had Indicated
When Sandra Pulled Into her Garage
Ashley Knew She Had a choice to Make
I was like well if I don't do this he's Gonna be very Mad
The law Is and detectives Sat in Stunned Silence as She Calmly described What happened next
It was surreal it was like? I was in A dream so I turned on the Safety and?
I shot at the Window and i Can Hear Screaming and
I
Started Shooting her and I remember he Had Drilled Into my head you have to aim Aim for
You Know a vital organ or something because the Bullets are so small
That it's not going to kill her and We, don't want her Talking on the Hospital bed?
She, was Shot in The Foot she, was Shot in The Head and Torso and other other Parts of her Body Ashley Shoots?
Gets Back in The Car and
drives Away from the Scene and Then Contacts Tracey by Phone
Then Ashley Said Something That Took Everyone by Surprise
All that was going Through my head
Was his wrath If I Didn't do it because of the first Time that I didn't do it it was
You know, he was very Mean
Detectives Were Stunned When Ashley Mentioned A first Time
She told the officials Gathered Round the table that Just over a Month before She Killed Sandra Roseau
She'd Made Another Failed attempt With a, high-Powered Rifle Equipped with a sight I
Was inside of my?
VW and I had the rifle with a pair of Jeans Around the Barrel so that
Nobody Would Really See it When I saw her and went to
Aim at her I thought that the Barrel
Was on Top of my side Mirror but it was Actually right Through the Side Mirror I shot a bullet Through it
Sandra dunked When She heard The Mirror Explode but Never realized She, was being Shot at?
She, was like Looking Around like what in the Hell and
While She's doing that I'm Trying to Shoot at her again but the gun, Had Jammed I do Recall a couple of Times Looking
over A
Couple of The law Enforcement Officers were that were Present for the Interrogation at one Point, one of them kind of Dropped his
Pencil Like Geez I can't even believe This
Ashley Explained To the Detectives That Almost from the moment They met
Tracey Had Been Pushing, her to Take Care of the Sandra Roseau Problem
Every day he
Was like You got to Work on it you Gotta Work on it you know if You don't do this you're Gonna leave I'm Kicking?
You out
He Would prey on her Weakness which, was she loved him she wanted to Spend her whole life with him
After Hearing, Ashley's Story and Confirming that She was telling the truth?
Prosecutors Agreed To Reduce her Sentence To 25 Years if She pleaded Guilty to Second-degree Murder and
Testified Against her Husband
but for Timothy Humphrey Sandra russell Would be alive Today ashley
Did the Killing, However She did The Killing at his request of his Urging and
Therefore We wanted to Make sure that he, Was Held Responsible for this Act - I wanted him?
He's the one he if it. Wouldn't have Been For him this Would not have happened on the 20th of March
2004 Tracey Humphrey who, was being Held Without bail for the Weapons Charge?
Was informed that he Had Been Indicted for First-Degree Murder I
Was upset I was Angry and then it was Just Always Counting on the fact that, well I'm innocent I'm innocent?
I got that his trial Began on The 14th of February 2006, valentine's day
On the 20th of February ashley took the stand to Testify against him
It was the First Time she Had Seen her Husband Since Their Arrest more Than two years Earlier
He Shrank, he, wasn't on?
Steroids Anymore he Changed so much that it was Just a shock to See him I think I weighed More Than him by Time
We got to trial I had Gotten Fat and he Had Gotten Very Skinny
Ashley Began By Calmly Explaining to the Jury The events Leading up to Sandra Roses Murder
The Courtroom was was Completely silent I think Everybody was Honed in On Exactly what she had to Say?
The Most Dramatic moments Came when she talked Through the Details of the murder?
She was done!
And she was done
You Hear About this Stuff on TV but it's just as a whole Different Element When
Someone Is sitting face to face with you and Basically Explaining how, they were able to
To do Something like This
But it was Perhaps the final Detail that had the greatest effect on the Courtroom when it was done?
She described in Pretty Good Detail
How She leaned Into The Vehicle to Check to see that
Sandra was Actually Dead he Had Coached me to Look
Into her Eyes and Make Sure She was dead not to Lean before She was dead and he Told me that she
Would Have a Different Look when you know like her soul?
Was gone so I do Remember Looking her in The Eyes and I will never get That Memory out of my and in my mind
Three Days Later After The Prosecution Had Backed up ashley's Story With Physical, Evidence Tracey, Humphrey Took the Stand he
Claimed that the murder Had Been Ashley's Idea and that he'd Had Nothing to do with it
The First Thing that she said was?
What if She doesn't come to court and
I said that i i kind of Hoped that's What happens and then
She said, well what if Somebody kept her From Coming to court and
That was the first Time that I said to her, don't don't ever Even Joke Like that that's not Funny
On the Following day Friday the 24th of February
2006 The Jury Retired to Consider its Verdict I
Felt Pretty Confident About it but you still get the Butterflies you still, worry no, Matter what with the jury System
Later That day the jury Announced it Had Come to a Decision the Jurors Had Deliberated for Just over Two Hours
The Verdict it was Unanimous Everybody Thought that he was Guilty I
Was Sentenced you to the Department of Corrections for The rest of your Natural Life They have no Possibility of Parole?
Didn't have much of a reaction at all that I recall you Just Pretty much Thought There Stone-Faced I
Wouldn't I wouldn't Couldn't Really Read Any Emotion on his Face no Shock or Anything like that
Ashley was told The verdict in A holding cell at the pinellas County Jail my attorney Came 11 Minutes after
The Verdict was Announced and she had Tears in her Eyes and She Said They Found him Guilty
You know and She was very Happy for Me and we both Cried
Two Weeks later Ashlee, was Sentenced To 25 Years in Prison as agreed in The deal she had Made with the State for
Those who were Close to the case it was impossible to escape the Feeling that the murder of Sandra Rizzo was a double tragedy
As far as I'm Concerned that, day he Took two lives he took my Daughters and he Took
Ashley's She, was A good girl she Had Never Gotten Any Trouble before and Didn't even Have a Speeding ticket how
Could She Let Herself Be Talked, Into doing something Like This
No man is worth that don't believe that she Would have been A
