at his trial here in sacramento paul s defense attorney followed what was by now a familiar script. she accused peter of murdering roberto ayala. peter moore has a lifetime of making threats. paul does not make threats to roberto. paul works with roberto. which is how parisi presented paul to the jury. of course if you know paul had a deeply troubled history with the law. violent sexual offense in his background. but the jury didn t get to hear about that. nor were they told about the dna. quite possibly paul. that was found on the envelope containing the bomb diagram. excluded. would the jury see the same paul moore prosecutors saw? he is almost like a marvel comic book arch villain. he s bright, clever, evil as can be and he has a flaw. his flaw is his arrogance. the jury retired. to think about it.
be and he has a flaw. his flaw is his arrogance. the jury retired. to think about it. they were not fooled. after just five hours of deliberation they walked back into the courtroom and declared paul moore guilty of murder. the judge sentenced him to life in prison. i remember driving away from the courtroom and my wife and i were together and we d start crying because we knew it was over. i did the job. i went in there and i did my job. i told everything i knew. and it wasn t easy because i basically put away somebody who i loved. pete is not so blind that he doesn t see how he was used by
