none. after all, girlfriend insists matt was home with her 30 miles away. same with nick samson s girlfriend. and she passed a polygraph. if she would have thought that nick had done this, she would have thrown him under the bus in a heart beat. there was no doubt about that. then, the lawyers went looking for evidence of the phone calls matt described in his confession, calls in which and nick supposedly planned the murders and the records revealed there wasn t one call between matt and nick in the days before the murder. phone communication never took place. simply didn t occur. but couldn t they have used those kind of phones you can buy that you can t trace. that s possible but there s no evidence. add to that the ballistics
teens from miwisconsin who admitted being there the night they were killed. the reason i ask you is the two people upstairs were shot to death. you re saying me and greg did it. i m telling you is you re in this house. did you not tell oh, my god. i never killed anybody. i really didn t. this is why we re here. i took money. that s all i did. i call i did was take money. i don t want to go to jail for murder because i didn t do it. then who did? remember, matt had already confessed and named nick samson as his accomplice. tell us who you were with. i was with craig. wachit a minute. she must have known matt and nick. so the investigators showed pictures, no idea who they were, she said. never saw them before. if they did it, i swear to god, they are dumb people.
to drop charges against mr. some son, and he, sitting in jail had become suicidal. nick was in really bad shape. so at that point i m trying to do mesh psychiatric, holding him together. the summer dragged by followed by a depressing september. and then, first week of october, the county attorney nathan cox met the press. murder case against nick samson was dropped. sort of. since there s no statute of limitations on murder, the state reserves the right to re-file the charges in the future. hardly the news the stock family expected, or wanted to hear. though they handled it with surprising grace. it s not for us to judge, or to make a statement on that, because we don t know. it was this and then it was that and then it was this and then it was that.
