Reading from Friday, November 7

Today I read from pages 344 - 421. The lead on the B file is very promising, and it leads to a man named Leon Wells, who tells them the truth. That, in order to get out of a lawsuit, he bribed Carolyn and Larren Lyttle. Although this is very interesting, it is completely irrelevant because it is unnecessary to bring up in court. To end the state's testimonies, Rusty's psychologist, Dr. Miles Robinson, comes in. Not many questions are asked before he is taken out of the box, due to doctor-patient confidentiality issues. After this, Judge Larren Lyttle dismisses the case on the grounds of insufficient incriminatory evidence. In the end, we learn that Rusty's own wife was jealous about what was going on between Rusty and Carolyn, so she killed Carolyn. Rusty's fingerprints that were found at the scene were only for effect, not to incriminate him. Rusty figured this out on his own because the glass that was placed at the scene would make Carolyn's set 13, and Rusty's own set 11. He finally learns that the glass was in the possession of Lipranzer the whole time. It was hidden in his desk, but not for means of concealment. He had placed it there during the case, and no one cared to ask him about it. Rusty and his wife, Barbara, decide to take a break because Barbara got a job in Detroit, over 400 miles from their house. Nat is going to live with Barbara, and Rusty goes to visit regularly. He becomes the P.A. when Della Guardia loses the election. He still does not have a comfortable situation in his hometown, but it will make do, and he doesn't want to start over. This concludes Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow.
