fiance, a young woman from boston named juliet driscoll. juliet moved to miami and quickly became a member of the family. john sutton even got her a job at his law firm. she was, you know, what i would imagine if someone was going to marry gnat foomly. my mother embraced her. juliet was a great influence. christopher got his act together, enrolled in college, started working. his parents helped out by buying him a $300,000 condo. he started up his own company, which in retrospect looking at everything he had done from arrests to drugs, you know, this is good behavior. we were all happy that things were better. and anyway, by the time of the murder, christopher was 26 and samoa had receded into his distant past. i interviewed melissa in the very beginning. all she knew about her brother
murder, kis said christopher, a hopped up kopp called him again and again desperate to buy drugs. christopher said between a birthday party and the movie, he couldn t do it. why did you tell him you couldn t get the drugs. objection. overruled. i told him i left it in my room in my parents house. that s what gave kopp the reason where to go. that doesn t explain why he would in cold blood murder and attempt to murder. he went to get the drugs. he found the suttons home and they could recognize him. he panicked, he was in a drug stew poor a stupor and he shot them both. so if you were garrett kopp, wouldn t you try to implicate the man who turned you into police? here s the thing, said christopher, he could understand kopp turning on him, but juliet, his own fiance? when he heard what she told police he broke down in tears,
you stay with him and why would you marry him? i can t think of how many times i ve heard somebody say, oh, my god, i hate this person so much, i could kill them for now. when you hear it for six straight years, you don t believe it. finally juliet said detectives lied when she said i knew it would happen, i didn t know when. i never believed he would do it and that s why the whole thing with my statement that i knew he would do it, which i ve said, i don t know if he did it. nobody knows what really happened except for him and garrett. thank you. that s what i ve been saying. so why not just play a tape of the interrogation? well, they couldn t. the police didn t record a word of their long talk with juliet driscoll. she said certainly he said those things but whether he did it is up in the air as far as i m concerned.
