and how can you say this on one hand and that on the other hand and here we are with a mr. clean theory that he washed off after brutally murdering maggie and paul. he takes a hose and washes himself off and gets in a golf cart buck naked i guess and drives to the house? so that s the blood spatter fabrication. the other is this blue rain coat with gsr and you remember that testimony, shelly smith who worked for miss libby and mr. randolph had told sled after september, after alex s problems had been exposed, after she had a conversation with a police officer following an accident investigation where she was in
something but not a blue rain coat and certainly alex could not have come over there on wednesday. he said he spoke to me about times and that i called my brother. we re not disputing that. what she didn t say is alex told me to say i was here and 45 minutes or things like that and frankly it doesn t make a lot of sense. alex kept saying you get my phone records and you will know exactly what time i was when i was there. and i ll get to this a little bit more in a moment but mr. waters keeps talking about oh, he is hurrying to get over there to compress the time. compress the time so that it looks like he has been gone from moselle longer than he was. fair enough argument?

when he says things like i hurt the ones that i love the most. we talked about shelly. after randolph s funeral. shows up early. she might have said wednesday, but there was other information at randolph s funeral was on monday. anyways, shows up early. wants to come. in goes and moves vehicles. and then there s that rain coat. huge rain coat. she calls it a tarp, a huge rain coat. it s got a ton of gsr on the inside and found in a closet
so what were you so busy doing? going to the bathroom? no, i don t think that did you get on the treadmill? no. i was not on the treadmill. what i don t think that i was doing is anything that you have implied that i was doing or cleaning off or washing off or washing off guns or putting guns in a rain coat, and i can promise you that i was not doing any of that. in addition to that, he was making a flurry of phone calls and calling his father, but the state is suggesting that the phone calls were helping to establish an ally foribi for hi following murders. he also wanted to say that someone else would have done this, and they put on a forensic expert on the stand and he examined the trajectory of the bullets and someone else had to do it, because he said that alex
