Karen was professional and was just wonderful.

Everybody loved her.

And then,

ne'er-do-well Deborah shows up and it all goes to hell in a handbasket.

You actually laid it all out perfectly, Joe.

And I did look at something on this because they never – investigators never found the murder weapon.

They were never able to determine what gun was used, what type of gun.

But I'm going to read you something here.

While the specific murder weapon was not explicitly identified, evidence included –

DNA from Deborah Patton on blood-covered latex gloves found with the body and surveillance footage showing Deborah Patton with a shovel.

Now, this surveillance footage was from a next-door neighbor, Joe.

We should all have this type of individual as our next-door neighbor.

I made a note when I sent this because the surveillance video

from the neighbor was a Hillsborough County deputy who has this surveillance video showing the victim, Karen, entering her home on May 24th, 2021, last time she is seen alive.

The video also depicts Deborah Patton throwing several large trash bags into the garbage.

And shows Debra Patton walking with a shovel.

After everything was said and done, Joe, Debra Patton is charged with murder.

But the reason it took so long and the reason we're talking about this today, because this just got adjudicated.

It's gone on this long because you cannot –

You cannot try somebody who is incompetent to stand trial.
