Example 12-214

A gentleman actually kill this woman son, and know what she did? She put a egg in one hand and a fork in the next. In his coffin - you now in those days you had the people in the home. ... And you know, she sat in that woman - she talk to that dead. And she tell that dead, say, Now - ..., in six months time everybody will know. And let me tell you something, in six months time, for no apparent reason at all - the gentleman who kill him - the jury found him not guilty - self-defend. Say he was killed in a act of self-defend, because him and his wife - this man and his wife - say they were coming against this guy. And he was found not guilty. And do you know something? That same man what kill him went out and drown himself?
