or Highway 183.
:27:04
He admits driving it.
:27:06
After he made his right turn
on Inwood Road...

:27:10
this is where our statement ends.
:27:15
He says he does not
remember anything after that.

:27:19
He didn't remember anything
about a shooting.

:27:21
He didn't remember anything about
a police officer stopping him.

:27:26
That part of his mind
just conveniently went blank.

:27:31
He remembered driving the car...
:27:32
and he remembered approaching
the scene of the shooting...

:27:35
and then, from that point, he blacks out...
:27:37
and can't remember
until he gets to the motel room...

:27:40
which is some 10 minutes later.
Everything else he remembers vividly.

:27:44
And that's just a convenient memory
lapse, is all that is.

:27:51
The Morning News in Dallas County...
:27:54
stated that I had signed a confession...
:27:56
that I had confessed
to the killing of Robert Wood...

:27:59
and they had their killer
and they were ready to go with it.

:28:03
The statement that I signed
for Dallas County...

:28:09
was never...
:28:10
and never would have been anything
as "a confession."

:28:15
But yet, they labeled it as such.
:28:18
Of course, I couldn't dispute this
because I didn't even know about it.

:28:23
I heard no news.
I knew nothing for two weeks.

:28:27
They kept me completely away
from everybody.

:28:33
Several times we talked to her,
trying to get her to recall.

:28:38
"Do you recall the license number?
Do you recall anything to help us?"

:28:42
And she gave us
a pretty good description of the car.

:28:44
As it turned out, her description
of the car was real close.

:28:56
It comes out that we weren't
looking for a blue Vega.

:28:59
We were looking for a Comet.
