Explaining What Happened
Michael said that when they arrived at this apartment, Laura was upset at finding out that he had a girlfriend. She asked him to drive her back to the city. Mele went on to say, “She wanted to leave. I didn’t want to drive back. She started to get a little louder. I put my hand over her mouth and partially her nose, and shortly after that, she stopped yelling, stopped moving, and I realized something bad had happened.”
