neighbors. what did people think? that we were guilty. after they raided my house, i spent days crying. days and days. i would be at work and we just crying, because you don t know what is going on. you don t know who to trust. how much were you watched? i would wake up in the morning to people outside my house. they watched me go out in public, with everyone thinking i m a murderer. even some of pete s own relatives seem convinced that. his sister mary stuck by him. i m amazed at how much talking goes on there, with no actual evidence. it s a lot of gossip and people knowing your business. mary placed a call to one of the investigators, told him they were going after the wrong guy. he was extremely rude. and he said you and your family just need to accept that your brother did this. i just broke down in tears because i thought they just didn t like him as a person.
of the story paul was the stooge and peter the mastermind. linda parisi: peter is the one who has indicated, i ve been in landscaping for 20 years. i m tired. i m broken down. i want to be in the farming operation. what better way to take out roberto and to take out paul? keith morrison (voiceover): to counter that argument, the prosecution was forced to call pete as a witness, knowing that would make him a punching bag for parisi. oh, she told me. she said, you re a murderer, aren t you, mr. moore? i said, those are your words, not mine. she thought that she could, by grilling peter, uncover the evil, the monster. keith morrison (voiceover): assistant attorney general david druliner was pete s wrangler during the trial. i was completely satisfied that there was no monster to uncover. and so i, for the most part, let her go at him.

he was special. he taught peter about farming, tending the orchard. he had macular degeneration. so i was his eyes. but when his grandfather, his patron died. pete s life changed quite suddenly. after i buried my grandpa, in short order i was pretty much told by my dad and uncle that they didn t need my help anymore. and i don t know whether it was animosity because i had gotten so close to their dad, or what it was. but after a particularly ugly fight with his dad, pete was exiled from the land of plenty. moved north of this eaten into town and started a landscaping business. my wife and i had nothing, and i mean nothing to do with the mourners. and paul, paul remain the
