Anyway, the jurors argue for a bit, and Veronica then points out that her theory that McKinnon's father paid off Myles is no less crazy than the theory that a pimp showed up to take the rap for two white boys out of the goodness of his heart, and maybe this wouldn't seem tiresome if I hadn't come to that conclusion myself half an hour ago. Another juror points out that they saw the guy on the tape holding the gun, but Veronica theorizes that the gun actually belonged to Aneesa, only she couldn't admit that because she's not allowed to own a gun, based on her parole. I don't know how these people could vote guilty beyond a reasonable doubt based on this theory, given that it doesn't look like half of them would understand it even if Veronica used a flow chart and sock puppets. So the point is that Aneesa's friend Simmons is the one she called, and he showed up, took the gun, and got rid of it for her, and he's the one they saw on the tape. I'd like to know where the sheriff's people were in all this, but maybe they had a department-wide emergency concerning notebook flaps. It happens. C of I is skeptical, so Veronica takes them through a long chain of deductive reasoning. I'm deducing from the forum comments that you won't mind if I skip it.
Inga marches up to Keith and hands him an anonymous email she just got offering fifty grand for the tapes. Sacks pipes up that they all got them. Off Keith's look: "I told the sheriff!" Heh. Keith demands another copy of the email list...
...and then he's using Inga's email address (last name "Olofson," FYI) to send a message accepting the offer to "gottapes@gmail.com." He asks for details of the transfer and pickup.
