with a knife. who expresses a belief that if they re killed they re going to be killed with a knife? that sounds like somebody who almost is foretelling their own death. it s also my belief that mr. fayed knew that knew of his wife s phobia with knives and that was one of the reasons that a knife was used. you think it s no accident that pamela fayed was killed with a you think her husband deliberately not just had her killed but had her killed in the way she was most frightened of? that s my belief. jim fayed was to go on trial for murder and conspiracy to convict murder. if convicted he was facing the death penalty. the jury would learn about all the evidence that was collected. they would hear from witnesses and, of course, from jim fayed himself, in his own words, in what his attorney would claim was simply a performance for an audience of one. and now you re about to hear the tapes too. she ran her mouth too much. she ran out of control. she started running her mouth
