Unruh exited the car. Rob delivered a strike to Unruh's leg. Unruh got back in the car. Rob then interviewed him.
Pros will now play audio of interview.
He said a counselor was present during the interview with Unruh's daughter, JS. I think schools are a pretty typical place for interviews of kids, from listening to police reports.
Audio opens with Rob telling Unruh to stay in the car. Then what sounds like a scuffle. Rob says from now on Unruh needed to do what he said. Unruh said he would comply.
Rob reads Unruh his Miranda rights.
Unruh: What the hell is going on?
Rob: That's what I'm here to find out.
Rob asks what happened to Randy. Unruh tells his about the girl and says she ran out of the house.
Rob: Did you and Randy get into a fight?
Unruh: No. Randy is my BFF.
Unruh repeats what he said about the girl.
Legally yours, check our archives for the back story, but basically, the defense has dropped a suppression motion that the judge had ruled for them on, so his statements are back in.
I'm not 100 percent sure when evidence becomes open record. It does eventually, I think.
Thees a gap in the tape. Rob comes back and tells Unruh that Randy is hurt real bad.
Rob: If he's your best friend and you did this, tell me about it.
Says he understands if Unruh liked this girl and something happened between him and Randy.
Unruh: This chick ran out of the house and Randy's like, "Oh, oh, oh."

The tape is hard to understand. He still indicates that the girl stabbed Randy.
Rob explains the gap in the tape. Says he was checking Unruh's hands for signs of scuffle.
