two of cory s own sons? cory s brother and dentist found himself struggling over the conflicted facts. i have to believe in that, i would have to believe in the family at the same time. so i m completely torn. i ve never seen a more difficult case more closely argued. there doesn t seem to be middle ground, there is nothing. parkinson urged the jury to focus on the science, and one image, corey in her bed, her body, rigor mortise. she says it is proof that she died hours before cordes claims, it proves, he argues, that curtis killed her. coming up, the defense gets its turn, and christine is feeling optimistic. i knew in my heart he was going home. christine came in and explain to her what was about to happen. when mr. on the mississippi continues. when mr. on the mississippi continues. continues. and it works fast. in as little as 7 days
trial. what does that tell you. that tells me that they were absolutely convinced he was innocent. that s not how prosecutor ed parkinson sees it. so does this some work, or does a guy get away with murder? sometimes it works, i think the partner in the prosecution said you re looking at a guy who you think might have got away with murder. i feel bad because i think we were right. a pivotal figure here is detective gibson. understand what is motivation, is when you re about. when you make of this man? i still don t know what is motivation is, i just nobody did. and what we had discovered was that his investigation had turned over a lot of evidence as to my innocence that he had made his mind up early that i was guilty of a crime, and that he wasn t going to stop until he found someone to agree with him. how do you feel right now? while the legal consequences for critters are over. the fallout from cory s death paralyzed the extended family.
