The Premonition
Mary Ann Clark had been involved in politics at the local level. She knew the then attorney general on a first-name basis.
Dateline NBC
The Premonition
She spewed. hate about how she felt about John Jelnik. That was the life Kevin Foley was living, that Michelle was just constantly saying what a horrible man he was. She fueled that hatred.
Dateline NBC
The Premonition
I mean, obviously you have the two main suspects. I can't in any way excuse the failure to at least attempt to interview Michelle and Kevin.
Dateline NBC
The Premonition
Well, the case had kind of languished a bit. They were kind of shredding water.
Dateline NBC
The Premonition
He'd say, I wish John Yelnik was dead. I wish he died a horrible death. I wish he died in a car crash. This was daily. This was after Hello.
Dateline NBC
The Premonition
The analysts found that there were similarities, but also dissimilarities. She could not exclude that vehicle. It's not perfect, but it sure doesn't look good for Kevin Foley. If he's the killer, then we should see his truck.
Dateline NBC
The Premonition
This was clearly a killing of passion. Kevin Foley was a knife guy. He had this commemorative state police knife, which was a very sturdy knife. He played with it so often, he'd flick it open, close it, flick it open, close it.
Dateline NBC
The Premonition
I said, well, do I have to make a phone call? Because they're going to be tested.
Dateline NBC
The Premonition
Absolutely. Yet, they still included Kevin Foley, along with all the other evidence.
Dateline NBC
The Premonition
Maybe he was going there to try to bully him into continuing the alimony, trying to just threaten him in some way. All of a sudden, he starts to fight him. Now we have a fluid scene. So now the passion takes over.
Dateline NBC
The Premonition
Coming up... They came back with a question which was, please redefine beyond a reasonable doubt. An agonizing wait for a verdict.
Dateline NBC
The Premonition
They came back with a question. which was, please redefine beyond a reasonable doubt, which is the worst possible question that a prosecutor can hear.
Dateline NBC
The Premonition
Well, yeah, I wasn't feeling all that well, but it didn't improve my condition, no.
Dateline NBC
The Premonition
Well, it's more one of relief than anything else. It was a real sense of satisfaction.
Dateline NBC
The Premonition
I didn't have the evidence to charge her. If I had the evidence to charge her, I would have done that. To the extent that she may have provoked this, to use that expression, well, that's something that she has to live with if she can.
Dateline NBC
The Premonition
Oh, constantly, yes. But we took that side of the case as far as we could.
