You claimed that after playing strip poker that the game ended and you sat down on
00:00:07
the floor and watched a movie. Yes. You were a foot and a half away from Liz Marriott. Um about And you claim
00:00:21
that Seth then strangled Miss Marriott from behind. Yes. You stood up. Correct. Yes. And you you walked over to the
00:00:33
window. Yes. I really didn't know what else to do. You did not go in the opposite direction towards the door.
00:00:43
That's not where I went. No. You claim that you then shut the curtain. Correct. Yes. The reason you shut the curtain was
00:00:55
because that's when you realized you weren't wearing a shirt. Yeah. I I was standing naked in front of a big open
00:01:03
window, so I shut the curtain. Isn't the truth just this? You went over and closed the

curtain to hide what you had just done. No. while Seth was busy trying to take the harness off.
00:01:23
No, there was no harness on her. That after she had a seizure and stopped breathing, you went over to the window

00:01:41
murdering her and I didn't know what to do. You claimed to the grand jury that you thought Seth Miselia might kill
00:01:52
you. If I had tried to stop him, it was something that I was worried about. Yes.
00:01:57
Your instincts for survival did not prompt you to scream out the open window as you were directly in front of it. No,
00:02:04
because I thought if I screamed out, then he might hurt me. Your instincts for survival did not cause you to try
00:02:11
and get the attention of the neighbors directly across the river. I thought that if I tried to get any help or if I
00:02:19
tried to stop him that that would be it for me, too. In that moment, there was no
00:02:26
I was caught between all of those emotions and the fact that I still loved him and didn't want to lose him. All of
00:02:32
those were hitting me really hard and I didn't know what to
