So none of you guys after Brian's death ever thought to yourselves or talked amongst each other and said, I wonder if Rashawn did it?

You guys did?

Yeah.

Because we was like, we was the only one who wasn't here.

Did all the players you talked to have that reaction?

No, not at all.

Some said they couldn't imagine one teammate killing another.

It was just too hard for them to believe.

I talked to Josh Holmes about a month after interviewing Eric Moncourt.

Josh was one of the freshmen that Brian gave a lift to the dorms earlier that night.

Yep.

I talked to Randy Phillips, who was a sophomore defensive back on that 06 team, and he reacted the same way.

Had they heard these rumors about Rashawn?

To my knowledge, no coach has ever admitted to hearing rumors about Rashawn.

I asked Coach Hurd about it, and he says he was surprised to hear any kind of rumor like that.

The family has a theory about what happened.

They believe that Rashawn Jones had something to do with it.

What is your reaction to that?

But when I spoke to Ed Hudak, that Coral Gables police officer who works security for the Canes, he said he had discussed that very possibility with head coach Larry Coker.

Do you remember how the coaching staff reacted to that possibility?
