Yeah, so this is a multi-document kind of writing.

If you were gonna ask the defense, they would have said, well, she's a writer, right?

She's an author, she's writing a manuscript.

But the prosecution was able to make the argument that at least six of those pages of that entire manuscript could come in.

And the reason why we call it the walk the dog script is because at the very top it says like walk the dog,

be inconspicuous.

And the prosecution uses what's called consciousness of guilt, an action that a person would do only if they are guilty and nothing else.

And in that document, she is writing to her mother to explain to her brother how to testify specifically about her husband.

about where the fentanyl might have come, about his trips to Mexico, about some of their interactions and text messages, and kind of walking them through that.

Even to say, if my memory serves me right, or kind of throwing in legal jargon as to how he should respond in a certain way.

And the prosecution says, only guilty people do this.

And that was able to be presented in front of the jury.

I mean, she just explained to me that it was some fairytale book that was loosely based on what's going on, but there's a whole bunch of stuff in there that makes it very obvious that it's not true.

Absolutely.

And you'll hear this cliche over and over again.

As a prosecutor, they don't have to prove motive, but they like to do so because I think it's easier for people to understand.

I mean, you're a storyteller, right?

If you can't explain the why, I said why something is happening or why a person is doing something, oftentimes a person might try to figure out, maybe they did, maybe they didn't do it.

But when it comes to murder, it's usually the big three, right?

It's usually love, money, or revenge.
