no case. but there were differences from the first trial. to ensure an untainted jury pool, the case had been moved northeast to suburban denver. more than 250 miles away from cottonwood creek. the evidence in this case is that leslie mueller did not fall off a cliff. this time from the prosecution, jurors heard a streamlined up version of events. and how, according to the state, fred mueller told a story that defied logic. like most murders, this one is hard explain. does it make sense. it doesn t make sense how and why this could happen. the witnesses to that awful day again came forward. neighbor jennifer sparks again told how she thought fred was acting strangely when he pulled up to her house. and she added this new detail he was petting my dog. squatting down, petting that dog? yeah, the dog was right here and he was just putting the dog.
