good job of getting us to believe it could be kevin. once again dunn s defense had retried kevin jones for the murder of nona dirksmeyer. but the jurors eventually came to a sort of peace with that. this is gary s trial, and we need to look at the evidence that s against or for him. and once they did they were troubled. on the witness stand that jogger described just how brutally dunn attacked her, just as nona had been attacked. that was really a big factor in my thinking, you know, about whether he was guilty or innocent. it tied into everything else. because that s what happened to nona. all those things. it showed dunn was a brutal man who was also a convicted felon when nona died. he even lied about where he d been that day. and he don t have no alibi. you know, and then that looks really bad. it does. it looks really bad. they also talked about the dna on the condom wrapper found in nona s apartment. some believed the dna probably
