Brutal Crimes

The story of Naomi's murder began at 4:45 p.m., the evening of Super Bowl Sunday 2003. She'd been napping before going to work for her nursing shift that night.

Aaron says that he woke Naomi up and when she came downstairs, she became angry that he had sent their kids to a Super Bowl party. He says she then accused him of being depressed, wanting to be alone and having problems.

Oprah: What was she saying to you? I want to know.

Aaron: Basically, that I was a miserable person. That I have no reason to be depressed and [that] I've got problems. And she was right.

Oprah: What else did she say?

Aaron: That maybe I shouldn't be alive. I said, "Is that what you want?" A struggle ensued. We struggled…and then we started fighting. And it never had escalated to this point where I was fighting back, but I was afraid. The next thing I remember is I'm in jail. It didn't hit me until a few days after I was in jail why I was there. At that point, I just laid and cried and asked God to forgive me.
