Naturally, Elaine was riddled with anxiety until a police officer told her, no need to worry, just be Elaine. So when she got into the witness box... I actually did okay, yeah.

The jury were then presented by admitted relevant facts, agreed to by both sides, namely this little detail, that Walker ran a financial company in Canada and is being sought by authorities for stealing over $4 million from his friends, clients, and partners. The prosecution then ended with a focus on the forensics.

A tidal expert explained that the body could only have been found where it was if it had entered the water out at sea. Next, the jury were told that there were microscopic bits of metal from the anchor walker bot that were found in the fibers of Platt's belt.

Platt's fingerprints and hair were discovered in the cabin of Walker's boat, the Lady Jane, and that the GPS had been turned off on the evening of July 20th, when the Lady Jane's coordinates were virtually exactly where the fishermen discovered Ron's body one week later. Mic drop. And with that, everyone turned to the defense and to Albert Walker.

Most attorneys would advise their client in the situation, even when you're perceived to be losing, not to take the witness stand. Exposing yourself to cross-examination is no joke, and most defendants will wilt under the pressure of a talented prosecutor like Barton. But most defendants are not Albert Walker.

Albert Walker had sat for days biting his tongue as Sheena and Elaine and neighbors and colleagues, one after the other, effectively painted him in the least flattering and most incriminating of lights. According to them, he was a liar, a ruthless, duplicitous villain.

Everything he'd gotten in life, earned or not, was by persuading people that he was an honest and caring man. It didn't matter what people in his Canadian past or what his daughter or police or what the press or barristers thought of him. All that mattered was the jury, and he was determined to change their minds.

These mere eight women and four men, regular citizens, held the rest of his life in their hands. Walker knew that no reasonable person would have thought that he was innocent after what they'd heard thus far. But he also knew that he possessed a gift, and therefore a puncher's chance. Ferguson called his client to the stand.

And so, for the next several hours, he had the opportunity, with strategic prompts from his attorney, to present his version of his time in England, beginning in December 1990. He told the jury that he didn't want Sheena to join him in the UK, but she pleaded that

He bought Elaine and Ron the tickets to Canada not because he needed to steal their identities, but simply because he couldn't afford to pay Elaine's salary anymore. And Canada was his dear friend Ron's dream. And it was Sheena's idea for them to first pose as husband and wife. Ron knew that I was posing as him. He had willingly given me his ID to do just that.

And yes, yes, I am on the run from Canada for financial crimes. It's true. But I never would have done anything to hurt my friend Ron. At intermittent breaks, all the reporters would run outside to do a quick hit for television.
