"I felt angry. I don't know -- sort of like it was happening to me all over again," James Thomas said.
On June 28th, Thomas said Turner pointed a gun at him, and stole his car. It was an incident that changed his life forever.
"Every day I'm thinking about 'can this happen to me again?' Even though I didn't have the fear when it was going on. Just felt odd being a man and having something taken from me," Thomas said.
Thomas' vehicle was found shortly after it was stolen, crushed after it smashed into a tree. Police say Turner walked away, leaving his two passengers behind -- one dead, the other critically injured.

Thomas was expected to serve as a witness during Turner's preliminary hearing.
"It's my professional judgement that his mental state is a lot more impaired than it was when I first met him. I'm raising competency," Turner's attorney said.
With that, the judge suspended proceedings, allowing for a doctor's evaluation as to Turner's competency -- a twist in the case Thomas didn't expect.

"This new thing that just happened, I'm not sure if it's real or if it's fake, so I just want to see where it goes from here," Thomas said.
A doctor's report is expected to be returned on December 14th.
Meanwhile, Turner was remanded into custody on $150,000 cash bond.
