evidence to a jury. there was new evidence of course, that random person we wanted to introduce. rules of evidence prevented defense attorneys from introducing listen at that tally smith s letters in court, the one where she accused detective mcvay of being a liar. but what they did have this time around was the random dude video that had led to the overturned conviction. we have a entire first trial in this case that s conducted on the fact this is a fairly secure building. what the walking man shows is that that s not true. to the defense that random dude was just one of the alternate suspects ignored by detectives. every single thing that was done from the mom they say that david left on that surveillance tape was in an effort to convict david as opposed to make sure they had the right person. the defense brought up other warehouse employees. they focused on michelle s husband, dan, and the money he received
the apartment he shared with his wife, janet and dooley wasn t surprised to see them. a kind of figured it would happen, to do a follow-up. before detective mcvay even brought up, dooley told him he d gone home the morning of the murder. mcvay recorded their conversation. i came back here, and then went back to fisher. it came back here? i can back here, yeah. i couldn t get a hold of my life, and i came home to make sure she was okay. yesterday you didn t tell me you left. why, you are just i didn t think about that. the detective also question david s wife janet separately, to see if she would tell the same story. this conversation would prove critical to the entire case. what she said is in dispute because a part of the recording is hard to hear. once the first time you saw dave after he left. was the first time i see him yesterday? yes.
that may be the most damning paragraph of the entire trove of information. 8 p. m. random dude. the video in question shows a man outside the thermo fisher building. police call him the random dude. it is hard to tell exactly what he s doing, but he s on the property where a woman is murdered brutally ten hours later and we don t know who he is. the prosecutor says the defense was given this video. the defense attorneys say they never saw it and were never told about the random dude. that would have been in our closing. our whole defense was, he didn t do it. so if we can point to unknown individuals that were trying to gain access to the building, that would definitely have been used. remember, tally smith said she didn t know about the map on the video during the trial but finally learned about him from mcvay afterwards. but then, she did nothing.
when you came, after he was yes, yeah. i ask her specifically if david were came home that morning, and she says no. two stahl and mcvay, janet dooley had just contradicted her own husband story. so police questioned her again about that apparent discrepancy. you told the other detective that he didn t come home that day. i did? janet seemed surprised. she told police that david did, in fact, come home and the reason she offered raised more questions for investigators. he said he ripped another pair of pants. yet to come home and just, you know, grab a new pair of pants. janet s statements were not helping her husband s cause. david dooley never said anything about ripped pants to police. adding to the confusion, detectives spoke with thermo fisher employee joe seagert, who told them he talked with dooley that morning. according joe he made it a
juror a cover-up so spotless only a janitor could manage it, said the prosecutor. it was only his story, she said, that was a mess. it is very hard for a person to explain how they can t tell the same story twice. and in these circumstances, we had four separate statements from him. detective mcvay testified it was only in dooley s second interview at his apartment that dooley first mentioned leaving work and going home. and i came back here. okay, what time did you come back here? 6:30, i couldn t get ahold of my wife and came home to make sure she was okay. his wife janet said davud did come home, to change a pair of ripped pants. he had to come home and change a pair of pants. it sounds like an alibi. except david dooley adamantly denied doing that. i never said that. okay you didn t rip your pant? no. when defense attorneys got their turn they talked about
