3:10pm Cutts said he can't explain why it took so long to tell authorities where to find the body. He said that he eventually took authorities to the location. He couldn't remember exactly where it was but after searching, he saw the location and told them to stop. He said that he had no idea that Jessie's body would end up looking the way that it did. He said that one of the reasons that he wanted to show the body was to show that he didn't do it on purpose.

3:08pm Cutts said that at some point, he decided to lead authorities to the body. He said that during that meeting, he didn't think that anyone knew where the body was. He said that on Friday, June 22nd, after meeting with the FBI, he decided to show where the body was. He said because both families had been through so much, he had to end it. On Saturday, he and his attorney went to the FBI office and told them where the body was. He said he wanted them to find the body and for, "this all to be over."

3:06pm Cutts said that his mom went to talk to Jessie's mom and while she was there, Jessie's dad said he was going to kill Bobby. The State objected. There is now a sidebar.

3:04pm Cutts said that on Saturday, the 16th, the news media started showing up at his house and he started getting phone calls from a bunch of people. He said Myisha came over that day - Bobby's cousin Larry picked her up to bring her over. Cutts said she came by to see if he was okay.

3:02pm Cutts said that he told Weisburn that he picked up Myisha to watch Blake. He didn't tell him the rest of what happened because he didn't want Myisha to be in trouble.

3:00pm Cutts said he didn't tell anyone what happened but he couldn't explain what happened. He was afraid that nobody would believe him. He said that he then spoke to Sergeant Weisburn of the Stark County Sheriff's Department. Cutts said Weisburn was looking at him like he did something. Cutts said Weisburn interviewed him twice. The first time, at Jessie's house, he didn't tell him the truth. The second time, after the crime lab looked at his truck, the spoke again.

2:58pm Cutts said that when he got there, Jessie's mom and sister Audrey were there along with a Stark County Deputy and Blake. He said when he went inside, he was hoping to see Jessie and it would all be over. He went with the Deputy into the house and saw bleach all over the bedroom. He said he presumed that Blake was the one who put the bleach there.

2:57pm Cutts said before the end of his shift, Myisha called to ask if he was alright and he said he wasn't, that he needed to get his son. He said he left work early that day, about 7:45am on June 15th. He said he was heading to Jessie's house to pick up Blake. He said on the way there, he got a call from her (Jessie's) sister. She said, "Jessie's missing, hurry up, get here."

2:56pm Cutts said he went to coach basketball and then went to work at 10pm. His regular shift was 10pm - 8am.

2:54pm Cutts said that was the first time that he was at home. He said he was replaying the morning in his head. He said he was supposed to coach basketball later that day and also go to work. He said while he was home alone, he kept telling himself, "this isn't real." He said if he called Jessie, everything would be alright. He said he called her phone and left her a message and didn't remember what he said. He said he was hoping that when she answered, "this whole thing would be over" and it wasn't.

2:52pm Cutts said that he took Myisha home and went back to his house to start mulching with his daughter. She didn't want to mulch so he bought her a Sno Cone maker so that she would help him. He said they went back and started to mulch. He said Kelly came by around 3:30pm to pick up Brianna.

2:50am Cutts said that this was the only time in his 10 years as a parent that he wasn't thinking about being a parent. He said he went to football practice. After practice, he picked up his daughter, Brianna. He said he went back home where Myisha remained.

2:49pm Cutts said that while getting out of the shower, a bandage fell off his finger. The finger had been cut the previous day while doing yard work. He said its on the opposite hand from the one that Jessie bit. He also said he noticed scratches on his chest from where Jessie had grabbed him.

2:48pm Cutts said he stopped to pick up mulch because he remembered that he was supposed to mulch that day. Then he went home and got in the shower and washed and washed and washed and washed. He said that he was trying to wash everything away.

2:46pm Cutts said he said to himself, if he just went on with his normal day, it would all go away. He said that when he looked at the clock, it said 8:40am and he realized he was going to be late for football practice. He left the coach a message that he'd be late. He then called Stephanie Hawthorne, since her son's on his team. He said he wanted to let someone know he'd be late. He kept heading toward home with Myisha still in the truck.

2:44pm Cutts said when he went to turn around, he got out to see how much room he had and saw a pillow from Jessie's house still in the truck. He saw a dumpster and threw the pillow and a bag of trash that was in his truck into the dumpster. He said then he went back toward Canton.

2:42pm Cutts said Myisha told him she needed cigarettes. He said he kept saying, "This is not real, this cannot be happening, this is a bad dream." He said he saw a store next to a car wash and since there were bugs on his windshield and he had no washer fluid, he pulled in. He said while there, he started spraying off his truck and Myisha went in a store to get cigarettes. He said he sprayed the entire truck. He said Myisha got back in, he saw a sign for a highway and turned around.

2:41pm He said that when he got back in the truck, Jessie's phone fell out of his pocket. He said when he started driving, he decided to throw Jessie's phone out the window because he couldn't get it to work. He said it didn't make it out the window, but fell by Myisha and he asked her to throw it out and she did. He said it took a couple minutes to get out of the park.

2:39pm He said he was driving around for a half hour or so and didn't know where he was. He said he saw a dirt road and pulled on to the dirt road. He said it was a park but it didn't look like a park. He said he was driving around the road, just about to exit the park again and he stopped. He said he left Jessie at that location.

2:36pm After making the phone call, Cutts said he got off to turn around and go back 77 South to go back to Jessie's house. He said Myisha told him she needed to use the restroom. He said they stopped and after that, he was about to get back on the highway when he saw a State Trooper. He said he panicked and said that if he got pulled over with Jessie's body in the back, he wouldn't be able to explain it. He said that at the next exit, he got off and tried to get back to Canton using back roads.

2:33pm He said he told Myisha something bad happened. Cutts continues to cry as he tells Mack that he and Myisha continued up 77 North. He said that he looked at the clock and saw 7:10. He said that's the time that Jessie always yelled at him about. He said that was the time she had to be on the road for work. He said, at that time, he called Jessie's phone. He said he didn't know why he called her phone. He said he wasn't trying to conceal what had occurred.

2:31pm Cutts again said that he picked up Myisha so she could watch Blake. He then said he got back on the road, on 77 North, toward Jessie's. He said he was almost at the exit and started asking himself how he was going to explain what happened. Instead of exiting, he kept driving.

2:28pm Cutts said that he got to Myisha's house and he asked her to go with him right then. He said she went in to get something and then got in the truck. He said he was there for about 5 minutes.

2:25pm Cutts said that he was wondering how he was going to explain what had just happened. He said he just went to get his son, he didn't want to hurt anyone. He said he didn't think Blake would be there alone very long. He then got on the highway and went to Myisha's house - about 15 minutes away.

2:23pm Cutts said he put the comforter around Jessie and put her in the bed of his truck. He said he then went back into the home. He said in case Blake woke up before he got back, he went in and closed the garage door and went out the back door so he could get back in when he got back. He said he didn't remember putting Jessie's phone in his pocket. He also said that there was a lot of bleach left in the bottle when he left. He said that he then left and he was going to get Myisha to watch Blake.

2:22pm Cutts was asked why he didn't call 911. He said he tried but couldn't use Jessie's phone. He said that he knew that she was dead at that time. He said he couldn't believe it was happening. He said he never tried to hurt anyone.

2:21pm Cutts then said since Blake was sleeping, he wanted to let him sleep. So he decided to get Jessie and take her with him.

2:19pm Cutts said that he decided to leave. He said he didn't think that Blake was awake. He went down the stairs and said to himself that he couldn't leave Blake to find his mom the way she was. He said he went into Blake's room to see him sleeping. He said he went back out of the room, pacing, trying to figure out what to do. He said that's when he thought about the idea of getting Myisha.

2:17pm Cutts said he didn't mean to hurt her. He said he stood up and collapsed onto her bed. He was wondering how he was going to explain this. He said he had no idea when he went to pick up his son that any of this was going to happen. He's crying harder now. Mack is asking him if he went over with intent--he said no. Mack asked if it was about child support and Cutts said he didn't care about child support.

2:16pm Cutts said when he stood up, he knocked the bleach over. He said he then looked for Jessie's phone. He grabbed the phone and was going to call for help but wasn't able to because he couldn't turn the phone on.

2:14pm Cutts said he couldn't find a pulse and couldn't find one but thought maybe she had been knocked out. He said he remembered being revived with ammonia when playing football and went looking for alcohol. He said he then grabbed the bleach from the closet and tried to put it under Jessie's nose. He said it was hard to do do he poured some in a cap and put it under her nose and it didn't work. Cutts continues to cry during all of this testimony.

2:10pm Mack asked if Cutts had ever tried CPR on a person. Cutts said that he had only done it in training, on dummies. He said he did the training every couple of years. With Jessie, he said he tried to remember the steps that he was supposed to do. He said he tilted her head back. He then tried the breaths first, listened and didn't hear anything. He said he then started chest compressions. He said he did 10 and checked for breath again and did 10 more.

2:08pm Cutts said he then shook her and asked her again. She didn't respond again. He said he then tried CPR and checked for a pulse in her neck.

2:06pm Cutts said that he didn't see Jessie fall because he was walking toward the door. When he heard her fall, he turned around. He said she was laying on the floor. He went over to her and asked, "Are you alright?" He said she didn't respond.

2:01pm Cutts said Jessie fell pretty hard. He said she fell harder than he expected her to. There is now a sidebar. Cutts has removed his glasses and is holding a tissue over his eyes.

2:00pm Cutts said, through tears, that he just wanted to leave. He said he threw the elbow so she wouldn't grab him anymore. He said the elbow hit her in the throat area.

1:58pm Cutts said he thought Jessie was upset because he was rushing her more than she wanted to be rushed at that time. He said he stepped back and looked at his finger and told her that he was leaving. He said he tried to get around her again, she stepped in front of him again. He said he pulled his arm away, threw his elbow back and.... Bobby is now crying on the witness stand with his head in his hand.

1:57pm Cutts said Jessie then grabbed his arm and pushed him back. He said he could get her out of his way, he said he put his finger up his nose and then put it in her face. He said she then bit his finger. He said he didn't expect that. He expected her to move and then he could get around her.

1:55pm Cutts said he became fed up and tried to leave saying he could get Blake that weekend. He said Jessie then stepped in front of him and grabbed him by his shirt and said that he had to watch Blake. He said he pulled away from her and tried to get around her but she stepped in front of him again. He said he told her he was trying to leave and she was taking too much time and he could be back asleep.

1:53pm Cutts said Jessie told him that if he hadn't been out all night, he wouldn't have had to hurry her up. He didn't know it was an issue til this conversation. He again told her to hurry up.

1:52pm Cutts said he asked if she could get Blake ready so that he could go. He said she took her time to get up. He then said he'd help her get up. He said he helped her up off the ground. He said she was standing around getting her bearings and he asked her to hurry up.

1:51pm Cutts said when he got upstairs, he saw Jessie on the floor and he asked if she was having the baby. She said no, that she was tired.

1:50pm Cutts said that he did not have a bottle of water when he entered the home. He said he called Jessie's name and she responded. She said, "I'm up here."

1:49pm Cutts said he got to Jessie's at about 5:45am on the 14th and parked in the driveway. He said he went in through the garage. He said the door was always up when he was supposed to pick up Blake.

1:48pm Cutts said that the clocks in his house are 10 minutes fast so he really woke up at 5:20am. He went to Jessie's house which is 10 minutes away.

1:47pm Cutts said that he went to bed when he got home after setting his alarm clock for 5:30am. He said that the arrangement was to pick up Blake before 6am.

1:44pm Cutts said that he and Stephanie both fell asleep at her place. He said she ended up waking him up at he decided to go home. He said that if he stayed at Hawthorne's he may not wake up in time to get Blake. He said he left Stephanie's around 2am and it takes 10 minutes to get to his house from hers. He said that on his way home, Hawthorne called him to joke around that he was the one who decided to leave this time - a running joke between the two. He said he got home about 15 minutes after leaving Hawthorne's. The last time he had spoken to Jessie was around 8pm the night before.

1:43pm Cutts said that he had a great time at Champs with his friends. He said there were no problems with Jessie while he was at Champs. He said he left around 1am and was going to Stephanie Hawthorne's place. He said he called her on the way to say he was coming. He said it was a 5 minute drive.

1:42pm Cutts said that at that time he was still separated from his wife Kelly at that time and he was having an intimate relationship with Hawthorne.

1:41pm Cutts said that other than Moses and Ladson, other people they knew showed up at Champs. He said that Denise Haidet was one of the people who showed up.

1:40pm Cutts said that after going inside, he ordered food and a Corona. He said he had 4 or 5 beers in the four hours that he was there.

1:38pm Bobby said he called Jessie after the 2nd game to tell her that he was going to Champs bar and that if he had anything to drink, he would wait until the next morning to get Blake. He said he then went to Champs and got there around 8:30-9:00pm. He said that Ladson and Will Moses were already there.

1:37pm Bobby said that he lost the softball game and so he watched the 2nd game with Will Moses and Andrew Morgan and a couple of other guys. James Ladson was playing in the 2nd game.

1:35pm Bobby said that on the morning on June 13th, he did some prep work to mulch his yard. He said he then went to the gym and worked out and then got a haircut. He said he then came home, got something to eat and went for a run. He said he had a softball game that night at 6:30pm.

1:33pm Bobby said that he asked Myisha Ferrell to watch Blake on Thursday the 14th since he realized that he had to go to football practice. He also testified that he gave her $100.

1:29pm Bobby said that on that night, he went to her house and after 20 minutes, it turned out that Jessie didn't need to go to the hospital.

1:28pm Bobby said that on June 10, 2007, he received a text message from Jessie asking if he was working that night. She responded that she might need him to watch Blake in case she had to go to the hospital. In a subsequent phone call, she told him that she might be going into labor.

1:27pm Bobby said that in the eight months that he's been in jail, Richard Mitchell never visited him.

1:26pm Judge Brown sustained the objection.

1:24pm After Mack asked Cutts if he wondered why Mitchell would say that Bobby said, "I'm going to kill her and throw her in the woods," the State objected and there was a sidebar with the Judge.

1:21pm Bobby said that he never represented to anyone that he would ever cause harm to anyone. He said that Richard Mitchell's statement had no base behind it. He said he would never joke about killing someone and throwing them in the woods. He said that Richard Mitchell was not his best friend. They played golf, basketball and video games together.

1:19pm Defense Attorney, Fernando Mack, is questioning Cutts Jr. Bobby just said that in February, 2007, Kelly decided to leave him. He said that at that time, he wasn't fighting with Jessie - they had a relationship where she was Blake's mother and he was Blake's father. He said that he saw Blake at least once a week. He said that he had no physical confrontations with Jessie as a result of Kelly leaving him.

1:16pm Bobby said that in November, 2006 he and Jessie had become intimate again. He said there were no expectations for him to leave his family with Kelly. He said that Jessie told him that she was seeing other people. He said that after Jessie called Kelly again, Kelly told him that Jessie was pregnant again. He said that based on the time frame, that the child could have been his. He said he told Jessie that he would take care of the child if it was his, just like he took care of Blake.

1:15pm Bobby said that he asked Jessie to stop calling Kelly, that it was causing problems for him at home.

1:14pm Bobby said that in 2005, he and his wife separated again and he was again intimate with Jessie during that time. He also testified that each time Jessie contacted Kelly, he would learn about it later from Kelly.
