“So, my wife came in here and spoke with you, didn’t she?” Michael asked me. We were meeting in my office to go over Christina’s testimony as well as Anita’s answers to my questions. I wanted to go over everything with him because I didn’t want him to suspect what I was really doing. As far as he was concerned, I was working on his case in a legitimate way.

“She did.”

“And? What did she say? I need to see those deposition transcripts.”

I leaned back in my chair as I watched him. I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted him to know about what Christina said to me. “The deposition transcripts are with the court reporter,” I said.

He got up and paced around. “She tried to throw me under the bus, didn’t she? Didn’t she? That little bitch.”

“No,” I said, knowing that he was going to find out the truth if he got the transcripts and saw that she did just that – throw him under the bus. “But I would like to know about something that she told me. She told me that you were the one who was in the best position to poison your father-in-law because you were the person who refilled his pills. Is that true?”

His face showed a great deal of anger when I said that, and he shook his head. “So, that’s why she wanted me to refill those pills every week. I wondered why.”

“I’m sorry?”

“Christina. When her father had to go on medications for his blood pressure and his diabetes, about a year ago, my wife told me that she wanted me to be in charge of making sure his pills were in those pill boxes. She nagged me about it. Now I see why.” He shook his head. “She wanted me to do that so that she could frame me when she poisoned dad. She wanted to say that only I had the access to my dad’s drink and food because I was the only one who went into dad’s kitchen on a regular basis. I fell for that, too. I fell for that. Goddamn her. Goddamn her.”

I sighed. “Are you saying now that Christina was the one who killed your father?”

“I wouldn’t have thought that before, but now that I know that he was poisoned and my wife is pointing her finger at me, I do. I think that she did it. She poisoned him and then she hired somebody to shoot him. Guess he wasn’t dying fast enough for her.”

“Why do you think that she did it?”

“It’s obvious, isn’t it? Dad was abusing her, he had a different family, and her mother was wanting to divorce him but that would mean giving her half her fortune. And she hates me, too. She hates me, so she did all this and then framed me.”

I narrowed my eyes. “Why didn’t you tell me about your father’s different family? About your wife’s sexual abuse? Why did I have to hear all of this from Anita?”

“I don’t know.
