What you know, alibiers, welcome to another episode of Pretty Lies and Alibis. I'm Gigi. It's Monday,

0:05.9

August 25th. You guys will be getting this Tuesday, August 26. I'm late getting this out because I sat with

0:12.3

my Grammy for a few hours today, but let's knock out part two. We pick up after lunch, and they talk

0:18.9

about the fact that Charlie is two and a half years older than Wendy.

0:22.6

Back in 2013 to 2014, she said she really wasn't spending a lot of time with Charlie, but she did speak with him on a regular basis.

0:31.7

He was single, dating a lot of people, he worked hard, played hard, he liked good food and nice cars. She says she's pretty sure they

0:40.2

would talk about her marital problems in their phone conversations. Charlie didn't like Dan at the

0:45.4

time, and he did joke about hiring a hitman. That's when he said that buying her a TV was cheaper

0:50.8

1:24.4

Donna texted Wendy about the repair guy being on the way. Wendy said she didn't buy

1:29.6

the TV and she thinks the geek squad reached out to Donna first. The damage was not covered by the

1:35.8

warranty and she said the repair guy was there maybe an hour. She's asked if she was upset and

1:41.3

crying when the TV repair guy was there. She doesn't think so.

1:45.7

She doesn't remember being upset about the TV, not being able to be repaired. The prosecution

1:50.9

asks about an impact to the screen, and Wendy says yes. Now, Jeff LaCasse will probably testify

1:57.9

that there was something that looked like a crater on that TV,
