Now Mad Dog rolls out more audiovisual aids. Here comes the jackhammer he claims was used to dig the grave. And there in the courtroom, he just fires it up. The point, I guess, is to show how easy it is to operate. Anyone can do it. It sounds like the building collapsing. Jurors cover their ears. But what connection does that jackhammer have to the good Dr. Boyle?

But what connection does that jackhammer have to the good Dr. Boyle?

And could you tell us why he was there? He, meaning Dr. Boyle. He was in to rent a jackhammer, sir. That's the owner of Easy Rental in Mansfield. How does he know it was Jack? Jack paid with a personal check. And get this, the rental date, December 29th, just two days before Noreen disappeared. Next, Mad Dog brings into the courtroom a box with the rolled up green tarp inside.

It's the tarp Noreen was buried in. Jurors start coughing. Mad Dog apparently didn't realize the tarp still stunk of death. So Mad Dog stops with the objects and now starts serving up witnesses.

It's an all-you-can-eat buffet, Detective Dave Messmore, plus detectives from Erie and Mill Creek, the realtor who remembered Jack's odd questions, the previous owner of the house who testifies to Jack's insistence on an early move-in date, a concrete expert, a medical examiner, one of the Boyle's neighbors, and on it goes. All told, Mad Dog will call 67 witnesses.

I mentioned to Dave, that sure seemed like overkill. Dave said to me, as long as you kill him. Don't you love cop talk? And yet, looking across the room, the defense seems unfazed. Here's Jack's lawyer.

Yeah, you know, ho-hum, there's a body in my client's basement. It happens. But the really cunning part of Mayer's strategy isn't to present evidence of Jack's guilt. It's to go at him personally. This is Lieutenant Dave Messmore.

Mayer's out to show that this guy, who you trusted to take care of your sick kids, isn't trustworthy. He's a creep. First step in the beatdown, Jack's tall tales.

And sitting in the courtroom that day, listening to all this? None other than Jack's girlfriend, Sherry Campbell. Frozen on a bench towards the back of the courtroom, expressionless. Who does Mad Dog call to the witness stand next?
