I've filed a wrongful death suit
against Mr. McClaren

I did it immediately,
197
00:10:37,262 --> 00:10:40,129
because I'm afraid McClaren
might try to leave the country,
198

202
00:10:47,313 --> 00:10:48,895
Why? McClaren
admitted that he put
203
00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:50,726
my mother's stuff on the Web.
204
00:10:51,025 --> 00:10:53,187
But he said it was a mistake.
205
00:10:53,486 --> 00:10:56,194
Now, in order to prove
"wrongful death,"
206
00:10:56,489 --> 00:10:58,981
we have to show
that McClaren had a reason

to go after your mother.
208
00:11:01,202 --> 00:11:03,364
So the first thing that we're
going to need to do is find out
209
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:06,576
if your mother had a personal
relationship with Mr. McClaren.
210

against them,

Either way,

787

with Judge Haring.
