The Final Dominoes Fall
Do you understand what you were convicted of? Yes, Your Honor.
Murder in the Moonlight

I don't believe this is the last of this case for me. I want to continue on, and that's nothing personal with you.

The defendant has not acknowledged any wrongdoing. He's not appeared to be particularly remorseful.
Murder in the Moonlight
The Ring
I thought, well, somebody took it off to wash their hands and it fell down, so now they forgot about it.

The inscription said Corey and spelled C-O-R-I and Ryan. Love, always Corey and Ryan.
Murder in the Moonlight
The Ring
This is actually really good detective work. She had gotten a jeweler's manufacturing book from Borsheim's here in Omaha. There was only two manufacturers that had AAJ stamps. One of them had been out of business since, I think, the 90s. And the other one, she got a hold of them.
Murder in the Moonlight
In Cold Blood
It was very much an execution, and there was a lot of blood impact spatter, high-velocity spatter fragments, and it was a biological kind of a nightmare.

When we did the blood pattern analysis, we saw a void area at the top of the steps.

Somebody had to be blocking the blood spatter from impacting the wall and stuff.

It was a big operation. There was a lot of outbuildings, and it was complicated by the fact that they'd had an Easter egg hunt the day before, so we had a lot of shoe prints and stuff. But one print stood out.

I saw a shoe print in the mud that was unusual by a flower bed near the front door.

In a gravel driveway, there was a marijuana pipe, and about 10 feet from it, there was a flashlight. And those two things were obviously out of place. You can sort of imagine the television show, CSI.

In Cold Blood
It was there. And I think the one thing I knew pretty much right at the beginning was that I could see, visibly see blood on the outside of the flashlight. So we knew that had to be involved.
Murder in the Moonlight
Keep Your Enemies Close
We had a pair of pants. It looked like blood on them. We had tested that, and that was positive. Now, that was the real smoking gun. I mean, you've got him.
Murder in the Moonlight
Keep Your Enemies Close
That's exactly why the detectives thought it was pretty suspicious. So the CSI team searched the car.

Keep Your Enemies Close
When Matt confessed, he said they threw the shotgun in the backseat of the Ford Contour. And he said, maybe you can find some, you know, transfer evidence there. Maybe just take another look at it, you know. And I said, well, maybe we missed it.

And I just took it along that edge and wiped it because I figured that way I wouldn't miss anything. And it reacted. So you got a hit, though. I got a presumptive positive, yes.
