Spanish term or phrase: agonizado
Murder investigation in Texas.

Pero la pregunta es. ¿Si yo te digo que tenemos huellas en sangre adentro de ese apartamento, que me vas a decir? Si eso huellas son de usted.

Pues no se, no me recuerdo si entre. Como estaba yo todo agonizado, no me acuerdo si entre o no me acuerdo muy bien señor. Si se que me acuerdo no más de que salí huyendo, pero pues de ahí pues no se. Es problema.
