Summary

This week, we hear very little from Bob, as he attempts to present the State's theory of the motive in this case in the most unbiased way as possible. . .  directly from the source.  In this episode, we hear the full trial audio from the State's expert, Dr. Dale Griffis.  He explains his theory, and through direct- and cross-examinations, you will hear the strengths and weaknesses in the theory of motive.

1:27.8

presented at trial.

1:30.0

And rather than me explaining it to you, we're going to go a different route.

1:34.4

In today's episode, you're going to hear the full trial testimony of the state's expert

Dale Griffiths.

But the short blurb that you heard in that documentary hardly paints the entire picture.

1:56.2

This testimony actually went on for about an hour and a half.

2:00.2

And after putting a lot of thought into this, I've decided that the best way to present

this material to you in an unbiased way is to just play the trial testimony.
