He said he had never told investigators that he killed the captive because no one had bothered to ask.

'made eye contact' ? so what ? ... who else did he look at ? what does this prove? David, this is a real life trial ... not Judge Judy or a Hitchcock film.

There's no argument about the man being stabbed. Would medic Scott be qualified to say that the stab wounds were 'fatal' ? ... "had watched the captive stop breathing" yes? so what? 'and die from those wounds' ... who says so? not Scott, on oath, in the court room.

'a pool of blood' Is that proving something ? we know the victim was stabbed, so blood would be expected.
