And you’re speaking of the defendant, Ashley Patterson?” “Yeah. Only she called herself Alette Peters.
Gary King was on the stand. Brennan asked, “You were Richard Melton’s roommate?” “Yes.”
“Were you also friends? Did you go out with him socially?” “Sure. We double-dated a lot together.”
“Was Mr. Melton interested in any young lady in particular?” “Yeah.” “Do you know her name?”
“She called herself Alette Peters.” “Do you see her in this courtroom?” “Yeah. She’s sitting over there.”
“For the record, you are pointing to the defendant, Ashley Patterson?” “Right.”
“When you came home on the night of the murder, you found Richard Melton’s body in the apartment?”
“I sure did.” “What was the condition of the body?” “Bloody.” “The body had been castrated?”
A shudder. “Yeah. Man, it was awful.” Brennan looked over at the jury for their reaction. It was exactly what he hoped for.
“What did you do next, Mr. King?” “I called the police.” “Thank you.” Brennan turned to David. “Your witness.”
David rose and walked over to Gary King. “Tell us about Richard Melton. What kind of man was he?” “He was great.”
“Was he argumentative? Did he like to get into fights?” “Richard? No. Just the opposite. He was very quiet, laid back.”
