She was just in a hurry to get to the airport.
You are Piper Ann Roundtree, is that correct?
Ms. Roundtree, did you shoot and kill Fred Javelin on Saturday morning, October 30th, 2004?
When did you first learn that Fred Javelin had been shot and killed?
What was your emotional condition at that time?
Did you ever learn that evening where your children were?
Do you love your children? Yes, very much. Where are they as far as priorities in your life?
How were you getting along with Fred Javelin compared to during the divorce itself?
What was the gentleman's name? that you met up with, if you know?
Have you ever seen him again since then?
And where is your office at the present time? In Houston, Texas. Now, sir, tell us, if you will, jumping up to Saturday, October 30, 2004. Did you ever see Piper Roundtree on that date? I did. And where was that, sir? In my office. And could you tell the ladies and gentlemen of the jury what time you saw her?
How many people have you talked to about the time Piper Roundtree was in your office on Saturday, October 30th?
Had you seen Piper Roundtree before Sunday, October 31st? Yes. And when was that? On October 30th.
My client has a constitutional right to have her children and she's been denied that right.
But listen to all the evidence over the next several days.
But you'll hear evidence that she'd made a support payment in October of 2004. Hardly something somebody's going to do to send money if they, in fact, had planned to kill that person.
And see if one single person says, we saw that defendant, Piper Roundtree, take a gun out and shoot Fred Javelin, or we saw her running away.
You're going to find that somebody was in Virginia. Somebody flew on a Southwest Airlines.
There's one name you're going to hear over and over and over again, and that's the name of Tina Roundtree.
I think you'll hear evidence that Tina had, certainly at one time, a gun herself, a .38 caliber. You won't hear any evidence that Piper Roundtree owned a gun.
