Well, we've got to consider that according to Mr. Prime Witness Scott, she was planning on going shopping to get stuff for the brunch she'd be hosting, BEFORE she took the dog for his walk. Also, even if she dropped the mop the minute Scott strolled out the door at 9:30, she'd still have to put on her shoes, and CHANGE HER CLOTHES FROM THE BLACK PANTS/WHITE SHIRT, to the TAN PANTS/PATTERNED SHIRT, and then get the dog, and then start her walk. Oh--and also put the breakfast dishes in the sink or dishwasher, on her way out!

Well, if I'm trying to be fair and objective, here's what I could imagine happenend:

(1) Has anybody ever said that Scott said he left at exactly 9:30 on the dot?

(2) Did the "possible" witness say that it was exactly 9:50 on the dot, or could Scott and the witnesses' times be approximations?

I could envision a scenario where Laci said to Scott, "Before you go, I see dirt in front of those doors that Nava missed yesterday. Bring in the mop and bucket." Then I could see Laci quickly mopping, changing her clothes, picking up the dog leash, mop and bucket, and setting it outside, calling Mackensie, and taking off. Mackensie was a fast walker, and probably dragged Laci if he's anything like my dog.

One other thing I thought was disturbing. This witness said one of the men said, "Shut your effing dog up", because the dog was barking loudly. We've got to have the transcripts to today's session, for sure!
