He was so locked in his own mania, again, this is my theory, that he just went out through this kitchen door. If she had spoken a word, she too would have been killed. Her silence, her retreating back to her bedroom saved her life. But the prosecution is going to have to build out a theory that's going to be not as circumstantial as I can in print or on the air.

They're going to have to have something. There's a lot of elements. We keep on saying, well, they can get over this hurdle. The prosecution can get over this hurdle. But you raise enough hurdles, and it's going to be very hard for a jury, especially in a case where a man might have to face a firing squad.

Right. And that's maybe very thin gruel to send a man to a firing squad. It's all the pieces come together, make a more coherent whole than each of the individual ones. But really, it's going to be a real burden on the jury, I think. I think it's going to be a fascinating trial.

yes and his sister began to suspect him uh again there's a weakness of his alibi all put together uh is very incriminating but he's able to there's no blood ever found at least as we know it on his car in his apartment there's no incriminating information on his computer that we know about uh

Right. There's no blood in his car. There were no scratches on him. You can make a very convincing case and the defense will make it in great detail to the jury that they have the wrong man. I think I think they have the right person. But why? Ultimately, I think the defense is going to say, why would my why would he have done this? Why would he have done this?

I mean, they'll just raise doubts, raise doubts. And... will it be convincing and again especially when there has a firing squad you're going to there are enough doubts that you don't want to send a man to the firing squad to face a firing squad

And until this event, until his arrest, he was in many ways a success story. Here's a guy who overcomes all sorts of things. He's a heroin addict, and yet he beats it. He's 125 pounds overweight. He loses the weight. He turns his body into a fortress. He's going to a... a poor junior college.
