his shirt. and the video depicts david moffitt. well, well, well. and he purchases a lemonade and a candy bar. which may have settled the question of who picked up the murder weapon. but here was another question. how did david moffitt get hold of andy wegener s i.d.? but the detectives had all kinds of reasons for wanting to talk to david moffitt. they picked him up about 15 hours after the shooting. took him to headquarters. installed him in an interview room. and? no dice. he requested a lawyer. and just like that, you re done. i sat there for approximately an hour with him, offering him a phone book, a means to reach his attorney. because he still wanted to attempt to talk with them, even if his attorney was present. he never reached an attorney. david moffitt wouldn t talk, but it hardly mattered. the evidence they already had was enough to arrest him, and charge him with first degree murder.
about one of the first things that i had asked you at the very beginning is who, before justin, who was your relationship, and you said andy. uh-huh. and you left dave out. right. for whatever reason, and it doesn t matter at this point either, is there any possibility that with dave or anyone else that while you ve been with justin that you ve maintained any relationship with anyone? no. and then, finally, after more than 30 minutes of questions about this dave guy, it suddenly came to her, she said. i remember dave s last name, by the way. and that is? moffitt. moffitt. moffitt. david moffitt. a name that meant nothing at all. another dead end, most likely. but remember that business about luck?
we asked them, are you looking for bodies? no. are you looking for someone? no. are you looking for weapons? we can t say. the public is not in danger. what happened in grimes isn t related to this. walking up and down. walking in a line so they don t miss anything. kind of like they do with a missing child. we kind of thought they were looking for a gun or weapon. in fact that small army of cops was looking for anything that looked like evidence. hours earlier david moffitt s car went off the road and facts were piling up. david had dated angie, worked with justin and ran from a car just six miles away. of course, that piqued our interest, moved david moffitt to the top of the list. prosecutors had been involved all along. we sent patrol officers to that location on highway 141 to see what else they could find in that area that might be of use an telling in the investigation. that s why locals saw all these police officers wandering
just went on your merry way my involvement was is just the citizen driving up the road stopping to check on somebody that morning, you know? had the deputy s instinct not pushed him to seize david s car? he probably would have been caught, eventually. but what do you think about this now, when you look back on it? thankful. very thankful for that i, one, trusted my gut, because we re trained do to that from day one. because it s the only thing you really got to back yourself up on, calls when you re by yourself. sure. if somebody seems a little hinky, maybe he is. yeah. maybe you just need to investigate it further. it s not prying, it s trying to figure out if there s something more to the story than what you re hearing. and a lot of the times when you trust your gut, it s right. david moffitt is appealing his conviction, and neither he nor his attorney agreed to be
did not dispute the wealth of evidence the state presented. all true, said mr. rigg. david moffitt did kill justin, said the defense. because he was legally insane, and, therefore, not guilty. what the facts are in this case aren t really in dispute. the fact that this happens because of a mental disease isn t really in dispute, because this makes no sense otherwise. what happens here, for lack of a better term, is crazy. and why should the jury believe that? this was the defense s star witness dr. peter breggin, a famous, if controversial psychiatrist, with a resume of television and other appearances in which he has condemned the use of psychotropic drugs.
