That "I Hate Mommy" video was such a setup. Howard was shoulder to shoulder with Anna and slipped into the viewfinder twice telling Anna to say: This was a message that she (Anna) left on her mother's answering machine. I hope Virgie pulled the tape. Most message machines don't take messages that are half as long as that video.
Remember that Virgie got into this BEFORE Anna died. There was no estate available.
Yesterday, I was transcribing that part of the trial where O'Quinn is nailing them on faxing the will a couple of days before Anna died. The debate was whether or not the will had been faxed from Ron Rale to Krista Barth on Feb 3.
Howard says that he is ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE that no will was faxed on the third. Now how could he possibly know that? He lived in the Bahamas. He thought he controlled all the actions of all the players? I would like to know when Barth was first retained as an attorney for HKS.
Later he is moaning about the topic being discussed at all and says, "This is such a red herring" and before it's out of his mouth, Ron Rale is saying "It's a red herring, for sure". Howard is accustomed to having his grunts parrot his every word.
