JaFanatic Posted June 11, 2014 Author Posted June 11, 2014 The murderer sat, surprised and shocked, in the big easy chair. The family sat motionless, hanging on the Constance’s every word. She continued, “I have been so depressed since the killing that I have not been able to think straight. But, after listening to everyone this morning, the blinders lifted.†“Jennifer died around two that terrible night; I should say, early morning.†Turning to John, she said, “You could not have killed your mother. Everyone here is aware that I hear better than most people, and I know you were watching television downstairs until a few minutes after three. You could not have been downstairs watching television and upstairs committing murder at the same time.†Megan was agitated and near tears, so Constance addressed her next. “It wasn’t you either, sweetheart. It will be easy enough for your friend Beth, and the telephone company, if need be, to verify you were talking on the telephone. I’m certain you would not have heard or paid any attention to unfamiliar noises when deep into conversation with Beth.†The speaker offered a warm, comforting smile and this settled Megan back into a stony, but calm, silence. Constance turned and addressed Richard. “Remember I said I do not have to account for my time because it doesn’t make any difference?†Richard, in shock, barely nodded, but he understood what was being said. Constance continued, “That I was in my room alone all night with nobody to confirm it doesn’t make any difference because I know you killed Jennifer.†Pausing, she said, “I should say; you and the children are well aware of my fear of guns and knives.†Her voice began to break but she continued, “Do you really think I would kill my sister with an ice pick?†Staring intensely at him she went on, “You forgot that we grew up and slept in the same bedroom. Jennifer never had a sound night’s sleep in her life and makes more noise than a freight train.†Richard replied, weakly, “So what?†Constance could not bear to look at him any longer. “Do you really expect me to believe that you were alert enough to hear your son come in downstairs, in a house that does not carry sounds well, but you noticed nothing unusual with the restless sleeper lying right beside you all night long?†added to OP :two_thumbs_up:
