and apparently right before this trial they showed shelly smith this picture and said does that look like a blue tarp you saw? yeah, sure it looks like it. they never showed her this. and she said this, 87 that's on the screen, she had never seen this. never seen this. but they did gsr testing on this and says oh, that's hot. a lot of gsr on there. and then -- and then there is this issue of misrepresenting what are the type ammunition found in the shotguns at the residence at moselle. paul was murdered with first shot was the buck shot through his chest. he was turned this way. went in here and then out under his arm. that was buck shot. the second shot was into the head. depending what expert and pathologist sees it this way or this way. but into the head. and that was still duck shot. i learned that you can't shoot ducks with anything but steel pellets because they don't want lead in the water. you have to have steel pellets. agent owen admitted regrudgingly he testified to the grand jury there were four weapons found upon the property in the gun room 12 gauges that were loaded --

shelly smith who worked for ms. libby and mr. randolph had told s.l.e.d. after september, after the problem had been exposed, after she had a conversation with a allendale police officer following an accident investigation in which she was in an accident, that on the morning she said here that she told you on wednesday afternoon mr. randolph's funeral and that turns out to be i think june 16th that alex shows up at the house at alameda at like 6:30 in the morning knocking trying to get in and he has a blue tarp, and in this blue tarp he -- she lets him in. he goes upstairs with this blue tarp. he comes back downstairs, he lays this blue tarp out on ms. libby's retirement rocking chair for in the living room, and then he leaves, and then she leaves to go to her day job, and when she left, the blue tarp was laying out on ms. libby's rocking chair. that was her testimony. and so s.l.e.d. gets that, gets a search warrant, goes to alameda, and then sees a blue rain jacket. then sees a blue rain jacket, and when they did, they take that blue rain jacket, and the

shelly smith talk about that. you heard her talk about him trying to tell her how long he had been there. he says he was just trying to tell her the truth. that's not how she felt. and blanka didn't feel the same way. he's a busy guy during this. in alameda, we have the pause. 9 9:44 no seconds to 9:44:54 seconds. that's during the time period that alec calls that phone of maggie's again. this is the time period that he remembered. he remembered specifically about his phone falling down in the console in that whole story. is that true, ladies and gentlemen? or is he coming up with some details on the fly when he can't remember more important things like what was the last conversation that you had with your wife and child when you jetted down to the kennels and back? what did you all talk about at dinner? what were you doing from 9:02 to 9:06? those are questions that he doesn't want to answer. could a reasonable person remember those things? would they not replay in their mind every day the last conversations that

waters also said that alex, the master liar, accused shelly smith, blanca and perhaps another witness of lying. he never did such a thing. he never accused anybody of lying from this witness stand. now, i've been around long enough to know, long enough to know that witnesses can misremember things. and believe them to be true. and frankly, i'm the biggest offender of that trait in my household. i convince myself i remembered something accurately, and i will have an argument with my wife until she shows me photographic evidence that i'm just wrong and that's what it takes. that happens. people misremember things. but because we point out that there is an inconsistent fact, doesn't mean we're saying someone lied. and we never did that. we never did that. the -- one example, sister marion, one example of misremembering, sister marion said she spoke with maggie about 7:00 p.m. while she was at edisto and alex wanted to come to moselle to visit her father. we know that her recollection is mistaken, because we have cell phone records, we have fbi records, we got a phone bill, we got -- that
