19. Interview with Catherine D’Amico: Part 5

24 June 2011

– Yeah, you need to find Earl and talk to him about all of this. I bet he’ll have one hell of a story for you. One hell of a story, all soap opera drama too, the way everybody always does when they know they’re in the wrong. [Ms. D’Amico indicates quotation marks with her fingers] “He did this, he did that, woe is me, woe is me.” Upset because he didn’t get laid for a little while, or his fucking Facebook page didn’t get updated for a few months. Whatever the hell the reason was he decided it would be okay to murder somebody who considered him a friend. Who was his friend. His friend in need.

– Hasn’t been proven. But it was Earl. I know it was him. Tony was scared shitless about Earl. Had to be a reason for that. Earl murdered him, and I wish I could prove it and clear Tony’s name.

– God, you sound just like the detective. No, I don’t have any evidence, and Earl’d probably tell you some B.S. alibi, or try and convince you he was justified though. I don’t give a damn what his side of the story is though.

– Why should I? What’d he lose? He still had everything when he got out of prison, he still had his—his identity, his dignity, his sense of self. What did Tony have? Guilt and fear. Two years in prison, that’s all Earl gave to a man who trusted him with his life. You’ve got actors and actresses out there with prison records making millions. Lindsay Lohan’s been on probation for years. Lil’ Wayne just got out and he’s got like three platinum records. What the hell’s the big deal? But Earl doesn’t see it like that. Earl got out of prison and turned around and took that man that trusted him with his life, took him away from everything Tony had worked so hard to rebuild. And I’m supposed to relate to that? No. I can’t understand somebody like that. People like him, like—like Earl Bishop, [Ms. D’Amico spits towards the floor] they’re cowards.

– Yes. Definitely. Earl just sounded like that type of guy, the type of guy to try and twist everybody’s words around too. But you should still talk to him if you can find him. It’d be interesting to hear what he had to say about all of this. It’d all be bullshit, but interesting anyways. Kind of like a movie. If you do get in contact with him though, make sure you dial 911 on your cell and keep your finger on the TALK button during the conversation. I’m sure the cops would be happy to get their hands on him.

– Earl Bishop is a backstabbing murderer. He deserves the death penalty.
