kimberly olson thought the whole world had gone crazy. >> he's a poker player and he had made his mistakes, obviously, with the women in his life. but i mean, that's a very far jump from being a poker player to murdering your parents. >> but back home in north carolina, when adrian solomon heard about ernie's arrest -- did you believe he could have done such a thing? >> i believe that he could have and for me that was enough. >> a date was set for trial based on circumstantial evidence. not one piece of evidence connected him to a murder weapon or those nike footprints. remember they were consistent with a size 12 and ernie wore a 9 1/2 or 10. and you knew that one of the lines that was coming had to be a defense attorney couldn't resist it is if the shoes don't fit you mist acquit.
