SOUNDBITE: Tomi Rae Hynie, Brown's partner and the mother of his 5-year-old son: "I showed up and there was 6 padlocks on the gate, and there was a car parked in front of the padlocks, and the guard who was usually very nice to me, who used to work for us, used to give me hugs, and 'Hello Ms Brown', said 'Ms Rae, you cannot go in there.' And I said 'Excuse me... What are you talking in about?'. I expected her to give me a hug and say I'm sorry about what happened, she didn't even offer her condolences, obviously her employers changed because I'll tell you, she was not the same person and she told me that I couldn't go and that I would be arrested if I tried to go in through the gates, into my home." Beech Island, South Carolina 3. Locked gates Augusta, Georgia 4. SOUNDBITE: Tomi Rae Hynie: "I haven't even got to to see his body yet, I mean I've given my life and blood to this man for 10 years, we have a child, I love him with all my heart, I'm dying here without him, it's killing me, and I can't see his body, I can't even hold him because somebody wants to claim all these horrific things when I've lost a loved one, when he should be mourning himself if he cares enough; where's his mourning? He's to busy making accusations behind some horrible woman, well if I'm so horrible why didn't I leave this man? I stuck with him because I understood him." Beech Island, South Carolina 5. Exteriors of gates Augusta, Georgia 6. SOUNDBITE: Tomi Rae Hynie: "judge Segers Anders saw the evidence before her, and she said not only is this an annulment, but this is a void in admicio. Which means it never happened from the start, there was no confirmation, it never happened from the start, which means anything after this point is valid and legal - 'bam', 'bam', that was it. That was all husband needed, that was all I needed, we were happy. 150 million interviews later I'm his wife in every one of them, I'm his wife to this day." Beech Island, South Carolina 7. Locked gates Augusta, Georgia 8. SOUNDBITE: Tomi Rae Hynie: "that I'm to get 17 percent of the estate, off the top, that I can live in the house for as long as I want to; he can live in the house for as long as he wants to, I own everything in the house to do with as I please, but the estate owns the house to be made into a James Brown museum, whenever I deem I don't want to be there anymore. And our decision was that I couldn't live in this house without him very long, I would be afraid that they would to do something to me because I'm scared of them, being 'they'. So we made a decision that we would make it a James Brown museum because there isn't one and every time we try to get one we get shut down; so we are going to make our home a James Brown museum. We had discussed burying on our property, that's where he wanted to be buried." Atlanta, Georgia 9. Exteriors of James Brown Plaza 10. Statue of James Brown 11. Candle and letters near statue 12.
