Thanks John,
Glad to see you back. Thanks for the information. I know about the old lady across the street being in the back where she couldn't see. I think her name was Telesar or something like that A killer who planed the attack in Nicole's front yard well in advance would have known that Telesar lived alone and that she was hard of hearing. What I'm interested in is what she COULD have seen IF she had looked out of her front door or window (killer's worst case scenario) and what her dog could have seen from her back yard.
I'm guessing that the woman's dog saw someone approaching Nicole's gate when it started to bark. We can be pretty sure from Heidstra's testimony and the deposition of the old lady that her dog was in the back yard at the time. If the dog did not have a clear line of sight to the gate he could not have seen anyone entering the gate. There is no reason for questions like that to go unanswered because they may not fit my theory. I don't believe in hiding my mistakes. I believe in highlighting them so they don't trip me up when I take my next step forward.
There are going to be at least two editions of everything Smartfellows Press publishes, not counting the beta versions I put online for free. To be fair to everyone, my first editions are limited runs of less than 1,500. That should insure their investment value over time. There are, for example, no more first editions of The Invisible Warriors. The second edition will be cleaner. In fact, the real first edition of The Invisible Warriors (my first venture into the horrors of publishing) had so many boogers in it that I had to destroy all but a hundred or so and use most of them as "uncorrected proofs" for review rather than first editions. First editions are bound to have errors in them no matter how hard you try to keep them out and feedback like I'm getting here is going to make the second edition of Iago cleaner than the first. Most people won't notice that difference - like the blood spot missing from the cover, Heidstra's rout and the date of he baseball bat incident but you should.
As for the lot where Chachi relieved herself: I know that it was a lot of some kind and I know that O.J. knew who it belonged to (he mentioned the guy's name - Bernie Greenbaum?). I still need to know what it looked like relative to what a person standing, crouching or laying in that field could see of O.J.'s estate and what O.J. could have seen of that person. Whatever help you can give me with "across the street" pictures at Bundy and Rockingham will be greatly appreciated. -- Jasper
