:40:04
I met this kid
at around 10:00 in the morning.

:40:07
He says we met at noon.
:40:10
I say we were at the Bronco Bowl
at 2:00 or 3:00.

:40:14
He says it was 5:00 or 6:00.
:40:18
Everything that we did coincide with,
he was two hours late.

:40:23
Two hours later. Two hours into the night.
:40:29
His testimony is that...
:40:31
as we were getting off the freeway
on Inwood Avenue...

:40:35
he stated that I'm driving the car...
:40:37
that we're pulled over.
:40:39
He gets scared and he slumps down
in the seat of the car.

:40:53
That, as the officer walks up...
:40:55
and shines his flashlight,
and I roll down my window...

:41:04
I pull the pistol out and blow this man away.
:41:13
His testimony is...
:41:14
when I finally do drive to the motel...
:41:17
I get out. I tell him, "Don't worry about it.
:41:20
"Forget this ever happened."
:41:23
That's crazy.
:41:28
The police officer was killed at 12:30...
:41:30
which is about two and a half hours
after he last saw me.

:41:38
Just before he went into the motel...
:41:39
he'd gone across the motel courtyard...
:41:42
to a little store over there
and bought some cigarettes.

:41:45
And I was supposed to go and find out
if the man remembered him...

:41:49
coming in there just before 10:00
to buy the cigarettes.

:41:53
I didn't get over there
to Fort Worth for a long time.

:41:57
We got some pictures from his family
that didn't show him in jail clothes.
