Incriminating Evidence

"What was your role in this investigation?" the prosecutor asked.

"I was the on-call personnel the evening she was murdered. I was called in to assist patrol when a passerby reported a dispute in the victim's house. At that point, we didn't think much of it and entered the house and found the victim on her bed with a stab wound. She was bleeding out from the wound and placed on her side." My explanation was to the point like Nash had taught me before coming here.

"And why did the nature of the investigation change?" Well, why do you think? I wanted to ask. But this was a courtroom and everything needed to be spelled out for the world to hear.

"Well, we found out that the victim was stabbed and there was no sign of forced entry. The weapon was missing and the victim's son had witnessed the crime taking place." Ah, all the facts laid out.
