Boy did he ever have a long list of things that show how much can go wrong.
Like, let's say the cops say to you, as you sit in the interrogation room: "What do you think went on tonight."
You'd just heard as you'd walked by the crime scene that some officer on the cell phone with his wife was saying, "Honey, I'll be home extra late this time - a woman was strangled."
So you say, "A lady was found strangled."
Now they know they have their guy- cuz no one in the police force had released to the media the manner of death.
WHile you sit there not even thinking that there would be anything in your response that would alert them to your "guilt." As all you'd done was walk by a crime scene.
