Chapter 1: What is the introduction to the episode's main case?
Chapter 2: Who is Austin Schwall and why is he important?
Thank you very much for your lecture. It was very informative. Are you paying this guy? Mr. MacGyver?
Yes, sir. I enjoy the conflict. I'm in a solitary cell and it gets a little lonely sometimes, so.
If you recall, Diane had an original will that did not include naming Austin Schwall. He hadn't even been born yet at that time. She had intended to update it, but it never happened before her death. Here's Tex.
She intended to update her will, which we know she did not do, but she intended to do that. And there she was going to provide for both the boys.
Okay, and that would have included bequeathing the ranch to the boys? Yes. To the Swell brothers? Yes.
Yeah. Well, her share.
All right. And you were willing to do the same, right?
Yeah, I was going to take care of my son in a different way. Okay. Okay. I wanted her to be able to do what she wanted. I thought I'd go first. I was 11 years older than she was. And it just worked out that I lowered my objections. She intended to update her will. I candidly thought she had done so. Okay. And that's my answer.
Tax then makes it clear that Diane did not have designs on leaving her blood relatives any of her inheritance.
