MR. OCEAN, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD DO IF RELEASED?

GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. DANIEL OCEAN. THANK YOU. MR. OCEAN, THE PURPOSE OF THIS HEARING IS TO DETERMINE WHETHER, IF RELEASED, YOU ARE LIKELY TO BREAK THE LAW AGAIN. WHILE THIS WAS YOUR FIRST CONVICTION, YOU HAVE BEEN IMPLICATED, THOUGH NEVER CHARGED, IN OVER A DOZEN OTHER CONFIDENCE SCHEMES AND FRAUDS. WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THIS? AS YOU SAY, MA'AM, I WAS NEVER CHARGED, MR. OCEAN, WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO FIND OUT IS WAS THERE A REASON YOU CHOSE TO COMMIT THIS CRIME, OR WAS THERE A REASON YOU SIMPLY GOT CAUGHT THIS TIME? MY WIFE LEFT ME. I WAS UPSET. I GOT INTO A SELF-DESTRUCTIVE PATTERN. Second woman:IF RELEASED, IS IT LIKELY YOU'D FALL BACK INTO A SIMILAR PATTERN? SHE ALREADY LEFT ME ONCE. I DON'T THINK SHE'D DO IT AGAIN JUST FOR KICKS. First woman: MR. OCEAN, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD DO IF RELEASED?
