Ranger, I agree with your conjectures on the other thread:
Ricci is a scumbucket loser, but I don't believe that he did this crime. That does NOT mean that he won't be tried and convicted for it, though- especially if there is someone a little more influential in the community who needs to be covered up for...
Please enlighten us as to why Ricci won't divulge his whereabouts during several critical periods following the abduction even after having been granted immunity if it isn't related to the Smart case? What is he hiding that is more incriminating?
