Washington might be involved in these two deaths.
From that tip, we found a gun in his home.
We found four kilos of cocaine in his house.
That gave us motive, the intent for us of this rap. _ _
That's about as strong of a case as we can get.
She screamed.

A spin artist.
She brought her face up laughing.
That's when the prosecutor realized what happened.
All that speaking her mind, testifying and crying.
