he outsmarted himself and that s why he is in prison. roc is free to ride his harley these days, but it still eats him up that a man he never met tried to frame him for murder. if you could sit down and talk to him just the way we re sitting here, what would you say to him? i am restrained, correct? i couldn t get to him? should we tie you to the chair? i would not be a good communicator in that conversation mode with him sitting there. i couldn t do it. mike pannell couldn t do it either. he would rather not think about tim permentor and the last moments of his precious baby sister s life. i am not interested in remembering karen associated with that crime. it s been a long ordeal for you. i want to remember karen as a brilliant beautiful young woman that she was. maybe this smiling person. someone who loved her friends, loved the beach, and died too

confused? you get confused when you lie. when the pizza arrived, i was still there. 8:48 delivery . it was right after the pizza arrived. i was there for 10 or 15 minutes. did you tell cops 7:30? i m horrible at times and days and the problem was that making a mistake became i m hiding something. cops call the mistake a lie? of course. why did you lie? it was 8:30 to 9:30. it s impossible. no. pizza receipt was in the trash. tim was tripped up by his own statements and the detective said his suspect knew the charade was over. he put his face in his hands and literally covered his face for two or three minutes. tim ultimately looked up at us and the car salesman guy who was tim permentor had left the room. what are did you see in his
