[tps_title]Description of Room at Super 8[/tps_title]
Q. Okay. And so when you get to your room, describe what you saw.
A. When we walked into the room, we first looked into the bathroom. The bathtub was rusted.
Q. Okay.
A. And the floor had spots. And there was a smell of between vomit —
Q. Okay.
A. — I won’t say cigarettes, but vomit.
Q. Okay.
A. So once we walked in, I told my mom, Let’s see, maybe we can get another room.
Q. Okay.
A. She didn’t want me to ask because she figured I would ask wrong.
Q. Okay.
A. So she went to ask for another room, and there was no more room available.
Q. Okay. And so at this point when your mother goes to ask for another room, do you stay in the room?
A. Yes.
Q. And what are you doing at that point? Are you looking at the room? Describe what you’re doing.
A. Actually, I’m making sure to put my bags on top of the desk and not put it on top of the beds.
Q. Okay.
A. So I make sure that our bags were on the floor. So I put our bags on top of the desk. And I leaned across — I leaned against the desk, waiting for her to come back.
Q. Okay. Have you actually gone through the room at that point or —
A. Once I looked at the bathroom and once I seen the floor, I knew that I didn’t want to look at anything else.
Q. Okay. So when she came back and said there’s no more rooms available, what did you do at that point?
A. Once again, she said it was one night. I told her I put all of our bags on top of the desk, and she agreed.
Q. To leave the bags on top of the desk?
A. On top of the desk.
Q. Okay. Around what time would you say you got into your room? Because you said around 1:00, 1:30 you arrived.
A. Maybe about 2:30, the latest.
Q. Okay. What was the plan at that point?
A. Check into the room. Some people were going to go out later on through — I think there was a shuttle bus that picked them up.
Q. Okay.
A. To go wherever, Walmart or wherever.
Q. Okay.
A. But I didn’t make any arrangements at all. Me and my mom didn’t make any arrangements.
Q. So you and your mother just stayed at the hotel?
A. Yes.
Q. Between 2:30 and dinnertime, which let’s say about 6 o’clock, what did you-all do, you and your mother?
A. There were two chairs there, we just sat in the chair, and then — wait a minute. I’m sorry. Scratch that. The bus did pick us back up at 4:00, we did go with them to get something to eat at about 4 o’clock, 4 or 5 o’clock. And it was the charter bus that picked us up. They had a shuttle, but the charter bus picked us up to take us to have dinner, 7 4:00 or 5:00.
Q. So at this point had you changed clothes, had you washed up, had you done anything of that nature or did you just kind of sit with your mother?
A. No. We kept the same clothes on.
Q. Okay. Were you watching television or anything like that while you were sitting there?
A. We turned the TV on just for entertainment.
Q. Okay. And you went to go eat you said about 4:30, 5 o’clock?
A. Yes, about 4:30 or 5 o’clock, because we stayed there about two hours, as I remember, until about 7 o’clock.
Q. Where did you eat?
A. I don’t remember.
Q. Okay. So you arrived back at the hotel about 7:00 p.m.?
A. That’s correct.
Q. What did you do at that point?
A. Well, because we were so tired, we just decided just to take off our clothes, put on our pajamas. And initially we were going to take a bath until we seen the tub. My mom suggested we just do a dry wash.
Q. Okay.
A. Which meant washing out of the sink, don’t touch anything.
Q. Okay. And so you didn’t actually shower or anything like that?
A. No, not at all.
Q. And after you washed up, put on your PJs, you guys got in the bed?
A. Yes. We were pretty much tired by then.
Q. Okay. And before you got in the bed, did you look at the bed sheets or anything like that?
A. I just knew to pull back the quilts from what I’ve seen on television, so I rolled the quilts back. That was the only thing I ever seen on television. So we rolled the quilts back.
Q. Okay. Did you see anything?
A. No. Didn’t think to even look for anything.
Q. Okay. And so you got in the beds. And then what?
A. Once we got in bed, I think we both pretty much went to sleep pretty quick.
Q. Okay.
