00:07:58,216 --> 00:08:00,580 And, you know, we kind of hit it off right away. 161 00:08:00,684 --> 00:08:03,605 I came home and a week later I find 162 00:08:03,709 --> 00:08:05,169 out that he's

00:08:13,929 19 years for senior, she had just one question on her mind. 166 00:08:14,033 --> 00:08:17,232 When I first met him, I didn't see a ring on him. 167 00:08:17,336 --> 00:08:19,978 So I

felt like it wasn't a necessity for me 176 00:08:41,009 --> 00:08:44,069 to keep hounding him about it, or for me to keep asking 177 00:08:44,173 --> 00:08:46,780 him questions about his family. 178

that was when his mother passed. 433 00:20:02,806 --> 00:20:06,284 Instead of me being pissed, I told him, you know what, 434 00:20:06,387 --> 00:20:08,648 it's OK, we'll figure this out. 435

00:27:09,204 --> 00:27:12,958 I mean, it was so fast that I went like this, 583 00:27:13,062 --> 00:27:16,018 and I just stepped on my brake. 584 00:27:19,911 --> 00:27:21,371 MICHELLE TRACHTENBERG:

following Bonnie, and telling 736 00:34:27,351 --> 00:34:30,584 her to pull over, that's considered aggravated assault 737 00:34:30,687 --> 00:34:32,183 with a deadly weapon. 738 00:34:32,287 --> 00:34:36,181 It's a felony that carries 2 to 20 years in prison in Texas. 739 00:34:36,285 --> 00:34:41,013 But this was so like, this only happens in TV, 740 00:34:41,117 --> 00:34:42,474 I could not

--> 00:36:34,860 I didn't do this intentionally. 770 00:36:34,964 --> 00:36:38,232 I know I didn't do this intentionally. 771 00:36:38,336 --> 00:36:41,257 You know, and it's so weird, because he was 772 00:36:41,361 --> 00:36:42,820 talking to me and everything. 773 00:36:42,924 --> 00:36:45,741 And then, I thought oh, you know, 774 00:36:45,845 --> 00:36:49,390 he's going to have a long recovery, but he'll be OK. 775 00:36:49,495 --> 00:36:53,458 Frances' bumper is taken out and shown to the jury. 776 00:36:53,561 --> 00:36:56,169 The bumper that hit the other bumper 777 00:36:56,274 --> 00:37:00,029 over, and over, and over again. 778 00:37:00,133 --> 00:37:03,121 The prosecution argues that this was a woman in rage. 779 00:37:03,226 --> 00:37:05,694 And it was this woman's rage that 780 00:37:05,798 --> 00:37:07,746 caused the death of this man. 781 00:37:07,849 --> 00:37:09,901 MICHELLE TRACHTENBERG: Lee Cutter, and her defense team, 782 00:37:10,006 --> 00:37:11,464 presented a very different version 783 00:37:11,569 --> 00:37:16,297 of events leading up to that fateful day in October 2013. 784 00:37:16,401 --> 00:37:20,643 I have always maintained that Bonnie Contreras is the reason 785 00:37:20,747 --> 00:37:22,101 that Bill Hall is dead. 786 00:37:22,206 --> 00:37:24,952 If you look at Bonnie's childish behavior, 787 00:37:25,058 --> 00:37:26,796 once Frances decides to turn around, 788 00:37:26,899 --> 00:37:29,160 she's telling her to pull over. 789 00:37:29,263 --> 00:37:33,331 And Bonnie's brake checking her, she's flipping her off. 790 00:37:33,435 --> 00:37:34,617 MICHELLE TRACHTENBERG: Frances' lawyers 791 00:37:34,721 --> 00:37:36,946 claim that she had to swerve unexpectedly 792 00:37:37,050 --> 00:37:40,040 after Bonnie had intentionally slammed on her brakes. 793 00:37:40,144 --> 00:37:43,829 Causing Bill to accidentally plow into the back of her car. 794 00:37:43,933 --> 00:37:45,498 She didn't know that Bill had run 795 00:37:45,602 --> 00:37:48,174 into the back of her vehicle. 796 00:37:48,278 --> 00:37:52,798 Which is also, people say, well, how is that even possible? 797 00:37:52,902 --> 00:37:56,553 Imagine where you're at, you are just complete tunnel vision, 798 00:37:56,656 --> 00:38:02,844 chasing down this terrible woman who has been tormenting you. 799 00:38:02,948 --> 00:38:05,277 MICHELLE TRACHTENBERG: On September 8, 2016, 800 00:38:05,382 --> 00:38:07,050 the jury came back with their verdict 801 00:38:07,155 --> 00:38:10,214 as Bill's friends and family watched from the gallery. 802 00:38:10,318 --> 00:38:13,725 The jury's verdict was heard guilty of murder 803 00:38:13,829 --> 00:38:15,984 and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. 804 00:38:19,114 --> 00:38:21,303 No one was prepared for that guilty verdict. 805 00:38:21,408 --> 00:38:25,717 Frances was potentially facing 99 years, or life, in prison. 806 00:38:25,822 --> 00:38:27,803 They immediately took Frances into custody 807 00:38:27,907 --> 00:38:31,072 and I just remember her looking terrified. 808 00:38:31,175 --> 00:38:33,400 She had no idea what to do. 809 00:38:33,505 --> 00:38:35,034 I had some guards that were there 810 00:38:35,139 --> 00:38:37,017 and they were pretty cool-- and not 811 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,971 cool they were being sweet-- and this is what's going to happen. 812 00:38:40,075 --> 00:38:46,367 And this and that, and then, they took me. 813 00:38:46,471 --> 00:38:47,896 MICHELLE TRACHTENBERG: Frances' attorneys 814 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,182 believed there was still hope. 815 00:38:49,287 --> 00:38:52,486 However, in Texas, a defendant can request 816 00:38:52,589 --> 00:38:54,536 to be sentenced by a jury. 817 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,795 So that's exactly what Frances did. 818 00:38:56,900 --> 00:39:01,002 Hoping they'd be more merciful than the judge. 819 00:39:01,106 --> 00:39:05,487 The defense argues that this was a case of sudden passion. 820 00:39:05,591 --> 00:39:09,553 And that means an experience so profound 821 00:39:09,658 --> 00:39:13,169 that you are not capable of clear thinking. 822 00:39:13,273 --> 00:39:15,358 It's an experience so out of body 823 00:39:15,463 --> 00:39:19,843 that it renders the mind incapable of cool reflection. 824 00:39:19,946 --> 00:39:21,616 Now that wouldn't change the conviction 825 00:39:21,720 --> 00:39:24,744 but it could certainly change the level of punishment 826 00:39:24,848 --> 00:39:29,020 from 5 to 99, to a range of 2 to 20 years. 827 00:39:29,125 --> 00:39:32,566 I figured, 99, you know, I figured I'm going to spend 828 00:39:32,671 --> 00:39:33,922 the rest of my life there. 829 00:39:34,027 --> 00:39:36,876 I'm not going to see my kids, or my grandkids. 830 00:39:36,981 --> 00:39:38,719 I'm not going to see my family. 831 00:39:38,823 --> 00:39:40,110 MICHELLE TRACHTENBERG: No surprise, 832 00:39:40,213 --> 00:39:42,647 Bonnie Contreras argued against Frances' 833 00:39:42,751 --> 00:39:44,941 plea for a light sentence. 834 00:39:45,045 --> 00:39:50,121 She says that her-- she never meant to hurt either of us. 835 00:39:50,226 --> 00:39:54,015 But at that precise moment, she wanted to cause harm to me. 836 00:39:54,119 --> 00:39:57,004 And maybe it backfired on her, and it just, you know, 837 00:39:57,108 --> 00:39:58,986 instead of me, it was him. 838 00:39:59,090 --> 00:40:01,071 I know she was going through a lot, 839 00:40:01,176 --> 00:40:05,729 but just, I really wish she would have 840 00:40:05,834 --> 00:40:07,746 made such a different choice, and not 841 00:40:07,850 --> 00:40:09,588 given me a chase that day. 842 00:40:09,693 --> 00:40:12,891 Because had she not turned around and giving chase, 843 00:40:12,995 --> 00:40:15,046 he would still be here. 844 00:40:15,151 --> 00:40:16,332 MICHELLE TRACHTENBERG: When the jury 845 00:40:16,436 --> 00:40:19,183 returned Frances' sentence, it was clear 846 00:40:19,287 --> 00:40:21,791 where their sympathies lay. 847 00:40:21,894 --> 00:40:25,509 They found her, that she had acted in sudden passion, 848 00:40:25,613 --> 00:40:27,803 which is a mitigating fact. 849 00:40:27,907 --> 00:40:30,828 That reduced her sentence to a maximum of 20 years, 850 00:40:30,932 --> 00:40:33,818 and a minimum of two years in prison. 851 00:40:33,922 --> 00:40:37,642 And ultimately, the jury gave her two years in prison. 852 00:40:40,492 --> 00:40:41,988 I thought, OK. 853 00:40:42,091 --> 00:40:45,741 That beats, it beats the rest of my life. 854 00:40:45,845 --> 00:40:50,052 And I figured, I can do two years. 855 00:40:50,157 --> 00:40:52,346 I can do 730 days. 856 00:40:52,451 --> 00:40:54,989 I can do that. 857 00:40:55,093 --> 00:40:59,124 Not to say, and even now, I don't care what anybody says. 858 00:40:59,229 --> 00:41:03,574 I should not have served a day in jail, a day in prison, 859 00:41:03,679 --> 00:41:05,139 but OK. 860 00:41:05,243 --> 00:41:09,032 I feel like two years it's no justification for me. 861 00:41:09,137 --> 00:41:14,246 But, you know, she did her time, and I know she suffered. 862 00:41:14,350 --> 00:41:16,124 You know,
