I took the pictures in to show them
to the man behind the counter.

:42:06
He was very cooperative
and he wanted to help us.

:42:10
But he honestly... He said:
:42:11
"I don't remember anything
about this guy coming in there...

:42:14
"I couldn't tell one night from another.
Might have been that night or another.

:42:18
"Cause they were always coming
for cigarettes."

:42:20
His brother...
:42:24
at first...
:42:28
was saying that at the time
of the murder, that he was home...

:42:33
watching... I believe it was
a wrestling match on TV.

:42:38
And he said, "Me and my brother likes
wrestling matches. He was with me.

:42:43
"Randall, my brother,
was with me all night long.

:42:45
"He couldn't have done it."
:42:48
He was trying to cover for his brother.
:42:52
Later, as I recall, he changed...
:42:56
because he said:
:42:58
"If I get down there and perjure myself...
:43:02
"there's nothing that they can do
because they've got the case."

:43:05
This is the way I think that he thought.
:43:09
"They know that my brother did it.
:43:11
"If I get up there and lie,
they are going to have me for perjury.

:43:15
"I'll be in the penitentiary with him,
and it ain't going to do any good...

:43:18
"so I just ain't going to testify.
I ain't gonna say nothing."

:43:22
So he backed off of his story completely...
:43:26
and Adams was left without any witnesses.
:43:35
Her in-court testimony
and her original statement...

:43:38
which should be the best.
:43:40
You're talking 15 to 20 minutes
after the killing.

:43:42
Should be the best eyewitness
testimony she's got.

:43:46
It doesn't match. Doesn't match at all.
