cordoned off as part of the crime scene.

And I don't know if that was, you could call it a mistake or you could call it sort of acknowledgement of who this family was and that they, you know, were definitely going to get together.

You know, it's— Well, and I think, in fact, Alec says— Alec brought it up.

He brought it up right there on the scene that, you know, he thought that perhaps this was revenge or some sort of get back at the family because of the boat accident when Mallory Beach was killed.

Right.

Well, I think one thing we've heard is that Alec had been delaying turning over this financial information for a long time, kicking that can down the road.

And that he was told by the Mallory Beach legal team that if you don't turn this over –

then I will sue Paul and Maggie in Beaufort County.

Now, what that really means is I will sue your family to get this money, but in a county where you don't hold this kind of influence.

Right.

And there's also an element, I think, that he was afraid that when he started turning over financials, somehow there's the strong suggestion that he thought this would be the string that would unravel all of these financial misdeeds that he'd been doing for years.

Right.

But, you know, you then have to, as a jury, think that that thread that was unraveling led straight to motive.

And boy, that is a jump that you think because you're about to unravel completely financially that your remedy is killing your wife and son.

That's a big step to make.

Well, which begs the question that when you've got them all being pretty jovial on that infamous video down at the dog kennels, you're then having to believe that that tenor of that conversation turned quickly because they're dead on it.

Dead moments later.

So then who did kill them?

And that is something that the defense has said that they've got some leads on who it possibly was.

Now, they did not present those at the trial where he was found guilty.
