steven reitz s gruesome confession regarding the cause of death, the deep slash to the spinal cord. i attended the autopsy. that s not standard protocol for a prosecutor. i attended it because i ve never seen a case like this. deputy d.a. chris frisco was initially assigned to look into the case. he had never encountered such an alibi. what i was concerned about was looking at the injuries and trying to determine if, in fact, the defendant is or was sleep walking frisco studied the detectives report. it appeared that eva s murder was now both a legal and medical issue. for advice, frisco consulted another d.a., dinko bozanich, who specialized in cases involving mental defenses. if he truly was sleepwalking, at the time of the episode, then he was not conscious, not criminally responsible, not guilty. really?
