We were simply defending ourselves and our church. The police can't be everywhere.

He said he didn't have any money for rent and that he comes to the church to sleep. We knew that wasn't true.

It just happened to be my night. The guys called us from downstairs from a cell phone and told us that they saw two men trying to break in.

(Police) told me they were certain it was him, and that's why I testified. That was bad to blame someone that was not there.

This is a place we can socialize. We can't go to Hooter's. We can't go to Church Street.

The police have given us updates whenever something important comes up.
