i think i killed him. >> defense attorney david fedor said the accusation that brett plotted to killthen framed his friend was too far-fetched to believe. >> i think brett is a fine young man. he's not a genius. it would have taken an einstein to set this thing up. >> would it take a genius, though, to concoct a plan like that? >> i think i'm fairly bright, and i'll be damned if i could have thought it up. >> bryan capnerhurst fired that handgun. >> in court brett parker's attorney said bryan capnerhurst was a desperate man with far more motive for murder. >> a man that was at the end of his rope. who had a desire for money and a plan for violence. and the evidence in this case is going to prove it. >> still, the defense thought it had an uphill battle. fedor knew it didn't help his case that his client was an unfaithful husband and gambler. >> they showed he was a bad man because he gambled. he had an affair. they said that was another thing that showed he was a murderer. it was just ludicrous. >> from the start fedor and co-counsel mark whittlark wanted the jury to know that okay,

but within a week of the shooting, he had gotten a lawyer, david fedor. the sheriff told us he thought it was a little odd brett retained a defense attorney so quickly when he was saying he was the victim. >> anybody in a situation like that that doesn't retain an attorney immediately needs psychiatric help. >> his attorney said brett was no killer, he was just defending himself after bryan showed up to steal his money. >> capper hurst went there specifically. we assumed he was going to shoot brett. brett got the drop on him instead. >> what motive could he have to shoot her? >> the motive he would have to shoot her was getting the money out of the safe and have no witnesses why carry out a burglary when you know the wife is home? >> your guess is as good as mine. >> i think some people just find that hard to believe. >> sure they do. we find hard to believe that airplanes fly. but it happens. >> brett parker met directly with sheriff leon lott. he even invited the sheriff to the house to show him the crime scene. >> he wanted to walk me through the house
