At one point during the interrogation, the investigators even threatened to have his pet Labrador Retriever, Margosha, euthanized as a stray, and brought the dog into the room so he could say goodbye. “OK? Your dog’s now gone, forget about it,” said an investigator.
Finally, after curling up with the dog on the floor, Perez broke down and confessed. He said he had stabbed his father multiple times with a pair of scissors during an altercation in which his father hit Perez over the head with a beer bottle.
Perez’s father wasn’t dead — or even missing. Thomas Sr. was at Los Angeles International Airport waiting for a flight to see his daughter in Northern California. But police didn’t immediately tell Perez.
I hope some shred of humanity sparks in the person’s mind who had that idea, of bringing in this poor guy’s dog… Maybe on his deathbed, maybe in the middle of the night ten years from now for no reason, just the full fucking impact of realization that they’re the bad guy of the story, that they’re evil, that they did evil things that hurt people very badly and they cannot undo the harm they caused unfairly.
I don’t think I’ll hold my breath that humans are particularly inclined to self-reflect nowadays or especially as time goes, but I can dream.
