My father asked me, in the July, on that back step, whether I was going to get out.

It was a fair question and he did not ask it lightly and he has a wall of his own.

And I said no, and I have not, and I am not going to, and the reason took me about a year to be able to put into words.

It is that if I take this uniform off because of what Fernando Vance’s attorney did with it in 2022, then that argument worked.

Not on a judge.
