Also, I still find Alonzo Sellers story sketchy.

This is a red herring.

Sellers simply found the body a month after she went missing. There is no other connection to him and the murder.


He certainly wasn’t in Leakin Park to “have a beer” as he claims. That was a dangerous and sketchy place and all manner of bad things happened there, mostly at night. Drugs, prostitution (of any and all predilection), gang activity.

So no, he likely wasn’t truthful about why he was there, but the fact that he called the police at all opening himself up to scrutiny shows just how shocked he must have been when he stumbled upon the body.


Again, that is what good defense counsel does. Focus on anything other than the defendant to create doubt in the minds of the jury. And these producers do the same to keep the audience feeling as though there are too many questions unanswered, even if they have nothing to do with the ultimate issue.
