Serial
The Last 12 Weeks - Ep. 2

But I look over at Greg on his little Zoom screen, and he's giving nothing.

Serial
The Last 12 Weeks - Ep. 2

His face is totally blank.

Part of Greg's reaction can be chalked up to the source of the information.

Serial
The Last 12 Weeks - Ep. 2

Sure, the AG's office has to hand over leads, but Greg has been at this long enough to be skeptical of anything that comes from that office.

Serial
The Last 12 Weeks - Ep. 2

And these are tough calls.

Serial
The Last 12 Weeks - Ep. 2

Every hour the lawyers spend running down one lead that's a dead end, it's an hour they could spend on another.

Serial
The Last 12 Weeks - Ep. 2

At the same time, they have no idea which lead could finally pay off and maybe even save David Wood's life.

The Last 12 Weeks - Ep. 2

As Greg is talking, I notice another lawyer from Jeremy's office, Naomi Fenwick, is pursing her lips, almost wincing.

She lets Greg finish before jumping in.

The lawyers talk some more and ultimately decide the lead is worth checking out.

The Last 12 Weeks - Ep. 2

We meet up with them in El Paso.

Serial
The Last 12 Weeks - Ep. 2

Naomi is the one assigned to pay a visit to Michelle Bradley, and Alvin goes with her.

Serial
The Last 12 Weeks - Ep. 2

I'll let him take it from here.

Serial
The Last 12 Weeks - Ep. 2

While Alvin is off with Naomi, I'm spending the day with Greg.

If there's one overarching story that Greg has been telling himself and anyone who will listen about this case, it's that the cops had tunnel vision.

Serial
The Last 12 Weeks - Ep. 2

They took every piece of evidence and either massaged it to make it fit David Wood or discarded it if it didn't.

Serial
The Last 12 Weeks - Ep. 2

This was a hard case to solve, Greg's theory goes, and there was a ton of pressure to solve it.

Serial
The Last 12 Weeks - Ep. 2

Some cops were calling it the biggest case in the history of the police department, and victim families were demonstrating in public.

Serial
The Last 12 Weeks - Ep. 2

So Greg thinks the police took shortcuts and zeroed in on David Wood because it was convenient and they were desperate.

Serial
The Last 12 Weeks - Ep. 2

And over the years, he has found some evidence of that tunnel vision.
