extremely credible, most especially when he said the body was PURPLE

That was my thought. I've only seen one dead body and his face was purple after being slumped over for many hours. (Not a violent death) It definitely gave crediblity to me...but I don't know enough as to what happens to blood and such at death.

He definitely looked like a rather guile-free humble worker, not like someone who would love to get involved in the case and be on cable TV. And his descriptions (the translations) seemed like they were really from his type of perspective. He is probably into vehicles and so he could describe little details on the cars. But the way he described the body... I just don't think he could have made that up. Very few people would have added the detail of the purple skin (lividity) if they were making it all up.

Also, by fingering 4 of the players in this case, he was not putting himself in the safest position on the island. He is all but begging for one of those close-fitting neckties. I hope they can keep him safe.
