Summary

Best friends Lisa Bunce and Sanda Andrews were sitting on the front porch of Sanda's Florida home after a night out when 60 year old David Murdock pulled up and opened fire. Murdock shot Sanda once in the face, and shot Lisa a total of three times. He then walked outside, called 911, gave them the address, and told them he was sorry, he "had to get rid of the devil".
56 year old Lisa Bunce tragically lost her life that night, but Sanda- her best friend- survived to testify against Murdock.

It took more than 5 eventful years for this case to make it to a jury. During trial, Sanda gives emotional testimony and explains what happened that night. Then, Murdock shocks everyone when he takes the stand- and his defense, is NOT what I was expecting.

On Saturday, January 5, 2019, just after 1 a.m., there were three gunshots that rang out in the gated sweetwater community of Haines City, Florida.

0:10.9

66-year-old Sanda Lee Andrews and her best friend, 56-year-old Lisa Bunce, had been sitting on the screened-in front porch of Santa's home when a truck pulled up, the shooter got out, walked to the porch, and opened fire.

0:26.7

Lisa had jumped up from her chair to try to run in the house, but she was hit by the first bullet right as she got inside the doorway.

0:34.0

A second shot was fired. This bullet went through the side of Sanda's head and out her mouth,

0:40.1

discharging some teeth and knocking her out of her chair onto the floor, where she begins to bleed

0:45.7

from her mouth. The bullet breaks the tempered glass on the sliding glass door, causing the

small tempered pieces to project with enough force to bruise Lisa's body.

0:56.2

A third shot was fired, and it hits Lisa as well. She was hit once in the back of her right hand,

blowing out her palm, and once in her right hip, where the bullet lodged within her.

Lisa crawled on her hands and knees through the house to hide in the

rear bedroom closet. She makes it to the closet and is able to stand up to try to hide. The storm

door on the screen porch was locked, so the shooter walked to the unlocked door under the carport

and entered the house. Lisa has left a blood trail through the house,

1:28.8

and her blood is all over the closet where she was trying to hide. The shooter finds Lisa and

1:34.7

fires two more shots at point-blank range. The first misses and goes through the wall, lodging

1:40.4

into the floor. But the second goes through Lisa's arm into the chest cavity where it goes

1:45.8

right through her vital organs, killing her. The shooter then calmly called 911 and told the

1:53.0

Polk County Sheriff's Department that there was an emergency. He just shot two people. He said he was sorry,

1:58.5

but he had to, quote, get rid of the devil, end quote.

2:04.3

Santa Andrews was lying in a pull of blood on the floor of her screened-in porch, and despite being

shot through the side of her face, she survived to testify against the man who shot her and

murdered her best friend. It was Lisa's ex-fiance and
