In His Defense
According to Copple, he doesn’t actually remember most of what transpired that night. He just knew, that what was supposed be his wedding day, was a night that he found himself all alone. Lieberstein says on his behalf, “He claimed that while he had some memory of leaving his house and taking a knife, that he didn’t know how he ended up at the house on Dorset. He remembered smoking the cigarette out front, remembered going in the window but didn’t remember much else. He would not admit that he knew what he did. He knew he was responsible but he claimed his eyes were closed.”
