An event marked by humorous jabs and bitter blows single this whole campaign, negative camapigns come right out of your mouth. Steve you know that's not true....((more interchange)) At one point, all three candidates ganged up on Dole, calling him a chronic tax raiser and negative campaigner. ((BOB DOLE: DON'T MALIGN MY INTEGRITY HERE.)) Despite the theatrics.. it was clear the candidates recognized the stakes. ((PAT BUCHANAN: APPROX... OH IT'S VERY IMPORTANT..ETC.))

D.J. says his father pulled into the Westview Terrace apartments, where they thought Teresa lived, after they spotted her car.
But the occupants of the car were Teresa's sister and brother-in-law, Tina and Steve Quesenberry.
D.J. testified the three were sitting in their cars arguing about why Dennis couldn't see his child when Dennis thrust a gun across D.J.'s face and shot the couple. su The defense tried to portray Dennis as a father who was so devastated at being kept from his child that he was driven to violence in the heat of passion. His lawyer says that would make him guilty of nothing more than manslaughter.
