Without a link to the gunman, there’s no way Calvin gets convicted.

Hearsay

Now it’s a heavyweight battle between the prosecution and Calvin’s attorney. The case is mostly circumstantial. They don’t have the gun. They don’t have the person who actually pulled the trigger. They have no physical evidence. But they do have a witness… someone who allegedly ties Calvin Jones directly to the murder.

Suspiciously, that theory benefits certain parties, from the prosecution to the insurance company.
