It's not the defense's role nor can they propose an alternate killer but they are painting the lines that one of the kids, Colin Albert, of the Albert family was a likely involved in the death of John O'Keefe.
Timelines, phone records and stuff don't really match up with witness testimonies. Who was where and when? Who did you call and why did you call.
Julie Albert spoke with her friend Courtney Proctor, the sister of the lead investigator in the Read case nearly 70 times in the early months of the investigation but she didn't remember it until the defense showed her the phone records.
The Albert family living in the house where the body was found never knew that there was police cars and ambulances outside their house when the body was found. They say they were fast asleep and didn't wake up to people hollering and police and ambulance lights flashing outside their bedroom window?
I don't think there is a huge conspiracy but something fishy happened and a good handful of insiders that, to me, are not coincidence.
