Evidence doesn't lie.

I did.

It was elbow to elbow.

Tim and Tana started dancing country swing, which takes up a lot of room, and it's a very fast-moving dance.

At first I thought, well, this has to be some kind of mistake.

For her, I think her knight in shining armor would be a cowboy.

You continue to deny and lie, and we will show you the evidence that we have.

It's not going to look good for you.

Does that make sense?

What took you so long in this room to tell us?

The story about your dad and the snowmobile and Tana's dad being involved.

They repeatedly told him he must have done it.

He did it.

He did it.

So, he had already been excluded in 1996.

We did.

We rushed the testing.

The DNA analyst worked on nothing but that until he had the analysis complete and again excluded Jeff Thiel from all of the blood evidence that was available.

No, I did not.

And we very, very, very, very strongly argued to the court that it was inappropriate because everyone in the room, with the exception of the jury, knew that Jeff Teel had been excluded as a potential contributor to any of the biological evidence.
