Your theory requires you to find that he's unbelievably devious and smart. and unbelievably stupid. And you take the stupid stuff and say, well, that's just because he's stupid. And all the other stuff you say, it's because he's devious. I think that's an unfair way to use our criminal justice system. It's fine for you to believe it. It's fine for anybody to believe it.

I don't think juries should decide like that. They didn't find that he intended to kill her. I mean, so we don't know what this jury was thinking. There was some kind of compromise.

And we're going to spend days talking about maybe there was a second will. We don't know. We haven't found it. We haven't seen it. We haven't found the drafter. Nobody saw her looking at or reading a second will. One person says she asked me to make a copy of something and said it was my second will, but she never looked at it. And nobody ever said Tex had any knowledge of the site. Nope.

It was just interesting, just strictly from a neutral perspective, that the defense was basically taking a gamble and... Having not really prepared with these witnesses, they didn't know what kind of answers they were going to get. And so, you know, they took that shot.
