  Eugene: Well they should!
  EDIT SHARE
- Reporter: What's your comment, Helen?
  Helen: I never have any comment, why would I have one today?
  Reporter: Miss Gamble, how do you think she was capable of 5 shots?
  Helen: I don't. I think it was suicide. He shot himself 5 times. I'm just prosecuting her because I don't like her outfit.
