Good morning, True seekers and true crime junkies. Welcome back
9
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.119
to another episode of Hit the Roadjack Finding the Zodiac.
10
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.840
We're going to be climbing back into the testimony of William, Yes,
11
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.959
William Coleman in the wrongful conviction case of Peter Wilson.
12
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.400
I'd like to first admite to the show, Harriet Souchet.
13
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:19.920
His testimony gets even more seedier. So I just kind
14
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.319
of wanted to pre er match everybody up if you
15
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:26.239
haven't been following along with this particular podcast, which we've
16
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.840
segued from the Zodiac at this point to cover a
17
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:33.480
wrongful conviction case in which case the client, the person
18
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:35.959
that has been incarcerated for thirty years for murder he
19
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.200
did not commit. I am just trying to get his
20
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.599
information out there, and we've been reading over the testimony
21
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.760
of William Coleman, which is the roommate in the house.
22
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:46.560
So just to kind of catch you up real quick,
23
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.719
mister Wilson came home from the bay from the San
24
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:54.760
Francisco area at approximately three o'clock in the morning. He
25
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:58.040
stepped out his back door from his room. He had
26
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:01.879
two doors, one that led outside in one that went
27
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:05.120
inside to the house, but he would commonly come and
28
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.920
go from the rear door. And he stepped back out
29
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:10.879
to seven eleven to get some snacks and some drinks.
30
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:15.159
And he arrived back home at approximately three three forty five,
31
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.159
three fifty a m. In the morning to find his
32
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:23.159
landlord dead on the basement floor. He immediately after seeing this,
33
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:26.280
had ran to the other roommate's room and pounded on
34
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:30.639
the door, yelling his name, mister Coleman or William William.
35
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:34.319
I found gene kind of thing, and the door didn't open,
36
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.840
so he actually opened mister Coleman's door, and when he
37
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.520
opened that door, he found Coleman standing up, wide awake
38
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.400
on the other side of that door, fully dressed. He
39
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:50.280
had pants, shirt, shoes, sweatshirt on, looking like he was
40
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.400
ready to actually leave for the day. For work, which
41
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.400
was odd because he didn't work at four o'clock in
42
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:57.319
the morning. He had the swing shift. He worked from
43
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:01.120
eleven to seven. So we're going to pick up where
44
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.560
the testimony of William Coleman is being asked in regards
45
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:07.560
to how he was stressed why he was stressed. So
46
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:09.479
we're going to pick up from there, and we're going
47
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.879
to move forward. So basically, he was asked the question
48
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:17.080
and what kind of shoes were those? Answer loafers these
49
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:21.280
type question? Were they in fact those shoes? Answer? No,
50
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.840
they are brown ones. Those are another color. Question When
51
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:27.240
you got up Sunday morning, could you hear knocking on
52
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.039
the door? Did you put on your shoes? Answer yes,
53
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:35.719
question right away? All I'm sorry, answer quickly. Question And
54
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.719
you wore shoes with you as you followed mister Wilson
55
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:43.319
to the basement. Answer yes. Question and you any particular
56
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:44.680
reason you put your shoes on?
57
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:45.759
Answer?
58
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.560
I put them on. So he never really again. Can
59
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.039
you see how he's not answering these questions.
60
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:52.240
Harriet.
61
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:56.439
Asked any particular reason? He just says, I put them on.
62
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.719
Can I interject one one little thing in this that
63
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.759
caught me the last time too? Okay, so it's like
64
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.719
he's putting on his shoes because he can't wear him
65
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.439
in the house. But if it was just his socks,
66
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.800
if his hair and stuff was on his socks, it
67
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:19.920
would logically link him to something there inside the house.
68
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.120
You know what I'm saying. He lives in the house.
69
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.680
There's it's not a question of linking anything. Because he
70
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:30.439
lives in the house. You're gonna expect to find his hair,
71
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.519
his DNA, his fingerprints, all of these things in the house.
72
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:37.519
The question here is is how is he completely dressed
73
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:41.040
at four o'clock in the morning when mister when mister
74
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.240
Wilson knocks on his door yelling for him to come
75
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.639
help because he's found the landlord dead at the bottom
76
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.360
of the basement floor. And not only does Coleman not
77
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:55.240
answer the door, but when Wilson barges in, he finds
78
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.439
him standing there fully dressed. Now, mind you, you've got
79
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.639
to imagine that this is probably panic stricken the situation.
80
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:06.040
It's happening very quickly. You know, when when mister Wilson
81
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.560
is running down the hallway yelling William William, I found
82
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.519
Gene and pounds on the door and gets no answer.
83
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.439
And then opens the door immediately. This all probably happened
84
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.000
in a matter of seconds. So this is why this
85
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.920
testimony from Coleman is so fishy. So he says, the
86
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:25.360
next question from the defense attorney is normally you wouldn't
87
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.360
put your shoes on, would you? And the answer nope.
88
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.959
Question what made you think about putting your shoes on
89
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.959
at four o'clock in the morning. Answer, I put them on.
90
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:35.759
That was it.
91
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.319
Well, I gets back to the same basic point. And
92
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:46.279
let's say he is allegedly the real killer and he
93
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.040
got blood on his socks. Did they did they check
94
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.519
him for that? You know, they had the shoes on.
95
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:53.240
Did they see this?
96
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:57.240
We we kind of we're going to cover. We're going
97
00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:59.879
to cover all of those things. You're not focusing on
98
00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:03.800
the point he's not allowed to wear shoes in the house. Yeah,
99
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.480
So he is dressed in his room with his shoes on,
100
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.279
actually looking like he's ready to leave the house.
101
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.360
Probably some suspicious.
102
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:15.920
It's very suspicious. He's doing something out of character when
103
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:19.120
something such as a death has occurred inside of the house.
104
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:24.120
So he says, the next question is, Okay, are you
105
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.519
sure you didn't walk around in bare feet? Following mister Wilson.
106
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:31.879
Cloman's answers, nope, And the defense attorney says, but mister
107
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:36.000
Wilson knocked on the door, you were already dressed, he said, Nope,
108
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:43.279
you didn't already have shoes on and pants and a sweatshirt. Nope.
109
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.439
That sweatshirt that you put on, did you go to
110
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:51.079
bed with that on? Nope. So the point behind this
111
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:56.839
particular testimony is that he claims that that Wilson never
112
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:01.839
said anything other than knocking on the door one time,
113
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.560
and in that time frame, he jumped up, got dressed,
114
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.920
put on shirt, shoes, pants, sweatshirt, and was fully dressed
115
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:13.959
inside of one knock without Wilson saying a word. Good morning, Nolan.
116
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.480
Yeah, I was waving at you, Nolan.
117
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:19.120
What's that?
118
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:21.360
Oh?
119
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:31.839
Your sound is crackly, okay, hold on, it's very crackly,
120
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:32.480
very weird.
121
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:42.759
I got a public Yeah.
122
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:54.519
Your your microphone is not sounding good at all. Yeah,
123
00:07:54.600 --> 00:08:05.800
what's that? Non ah? Yeah, because we can't understand any
124
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.959
of it. That's okay, all right, So back to some
125
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.519
more testimony here. Defense attorney asked you put that on
126
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:17.160
after you got up, and Cooleman answers, yeah, I put
127
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:21.319
it on. Quickly and question before mister Wilson, before you
128
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:26.240
made contact with mister Wilson. Answer yes. Question when was
129
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:29.319
the last time you laundered that shirt? Answer? I do
130
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:32.919
my washing on Sunday. I take my wash to Sunday
131
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.559
to the washer. Question do you know whether or not
132
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.360
there was any blood on that Stanford shirt? Answer nope,
133
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:47.600
there there is wasn't. No, there wasn't ambled, there is wasn't.
134
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.360
Another question another question do you remember what you wore
135
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.200
to work on the thirtieth Answer no. Question did you
136
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:59.840
wear that sweatshirt? Answer the sweatshirt because it's cold, right
137
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.840
a bike. As far as another shirt, I'm not sure.
138
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:06.440
I would be so frustrated with this guy because you
139
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:08.559
cannot get a straight answer out of him to save
140
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:12.600
your life. Question did you wear that shirt while you
141
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:14.840
were at work? Answer no, I took it off and
142
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:17.360
put it in the closet. Question and you put it
143
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:19.720
on when you went home? Answer? I put it on
144
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.919
at the restaurant, came back, ride the bike back home
145
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:26.399
because it's colder. Question when you got home, you took
146
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:33.559
take that off that sweatshirt? Answer yes. Question when you
147
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.360
took it off, do you know what you did?
148
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:35.639
With it.
149
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:38.159
Answer. I went to my room, took it off, put
150
00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:40.559
it in the table. On the table I put on,
151
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:44.200
put my pants on this table. He didn't ask about
152
00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:47.480
the pants. But I'm glad you're over sharing. Question. Let
153
00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:49.960
me show you what has been marked as defense. Oh,
154
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.240
ask you to look at that. Do you recognize that
155
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.200
as your sweatshirt? Answered? That's correct, And so that means
156
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:59.080
they took pictures of him in the sweatshirt or they
157
00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:02.799
took pictures of the sweatshirt, he said. Question, and that
158
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:06.639
is the one with the Stanford on it. Answered that's correct. Question.
159
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:10.039
Now you notice above your wrist area below the d
160
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:13.679
appears to be a spot there looks like a red spot.
161
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:18.559
Answer yes. Question do you know what that is? Answer?
162
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.039
I have no idea. Question Did you have any blood
163
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:25.320
on that shirt? Answer nope. I didn't have any blood
164
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:28.559
on the shirt. Question none, none that you're aware of.
165
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:32.200
Answer not that I was aware of. Question do you
166
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:36.360
know what that red spot could be? Answer nope. Oh,
167
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:51.039
you've got some feedback going on again there, Nolan something? Yes, yeah, something,
168
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:56.519
because that's horrible sounding and it's causing feed All right, Okay,
169
00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.360
do you know what that red spot could be? Answer nope.
170
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.600
Question did you spill anything on that shirt that you remember?
171
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.000
Answer nope. Question are you pretty sure that is not blood?
172
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.320
Answer I'm not sure about that. Question. Okay, did the
173
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:18.120
police take this shirt? Answer no, and it's always nope.
174
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:24.240
It's never no or no either way. The police didn't
175
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:28.120
take his clothing. They took Wilson's clothing. So there's your
176
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.360
answer to that particular question. But it does appear as
177
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:35.159
though they took pictures of it, and obviously there is
178
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.000
some red spots on it that they're questioning as to
179
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:40.399
whether or not they were blood. But why they didn't
180
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:43.320
take this shirt when they took everything from Wilson, It's
181
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:45.919
just beyond me. They basically sat in their minds on
182
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.120
the morning of the thirty first when they arrived and
183
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.720
found Gene basically is what they called her. When they
184
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:55.679
found Gene dead on the basement floor and the police
185
00:11:55.720 --> 00:12:01.559
came in, they immediately took every effort to put Wilson
186
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.919
as the suspect by way of taking his clothing, taking
187
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:09.399
a rate kid, a GSR kid like. They did everything
188
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:12.519
to pretty much hem this guy up from the very beginning.
189
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.840
I would love to see pictures of the socks.
190
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:23.639
They did, obviously they didn't take anything from him.
191
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:28.159
Yeah, no, no, I mean if they were getting the pictures. See,
192
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.960
there's something wrong with that whole situation. And just like
193
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.639
you're pointing out, he's dressed in one second.
194
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:38.320
No, one second, one yep, once, that's the fastest get dressed.
195
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:40.600
Wake up from your He went like this.
196
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:43.480
It was like I dream of Genie dressed.
197
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:50.639
He twitched his nose. So the testimony is as as
198
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.919
it continues, is question you still have it? Answer yes.
199
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:57.919
Question did the police take any physical Excuse me, did
200
00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:01.519
the police take any physical clothes from you? Answer? Nope?
201
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.679
What the f I like, don't even begin to understand.
202
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:08.279
Why did you take it from Wilson but not from Coleman?
203
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:11.360
When you came home Saturday night? Was there anything on
204
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.960
the stove that was left over from anyone having apparently
205
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:17.720
cooked any meal? Answer nope. Question there was no pots
206
00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:22.080
or pans or anything. No, there were Were there any
207
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:25.480
dish dirty dishes in the sink? Nope? Do you know
208
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:27.240
whether there was any dirty dishes?
209
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:30.759
I didn't.
210
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:33.720
Okay, so sorry, let's skip to the next section of
211
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:35.679
this because I found that one was kind of boring.
212
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.279
He's asking about dishes that didn't exist. Question Okay, how
213
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:42.840
about the turkey? Is that? Answer just turkey slice in
214
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:45.720
which meat, just put two pieces of bread and put
215
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:49.519
in microwave for one made of sandwich. Question that is
216
00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:53.519
Friday night? Answer that is correct. Question what about the
217
00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:56.039
microwave dinner that you had on Friday night? Where did
218
00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:00.519
that come from? Answer that was Saturday? Question that is
219
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:04.240
on Saturday night. Answer, I had a microwave meal on
220
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:07.240
Saturday night. Question that is the night that you had
221
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.200
dinner with miss Kim. Answer that is correct. Holy crap,
222
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:14.759
that right there should have stopped the entire I'm going
223
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:18.159
to lose my crap right now. You guys, just reading
224
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:23.559
that particular question that mister Coleman had dinner with the
225
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:28.279
victim Saturday night while Wilson was gone, tells you that
226
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:32.799
she wasn't killed between twelve forty eight and one fifty
227
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:37.039
eight pm on Saturday. I'm absolutely sticking to my stomach
228
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:40.080
by this, because here we have this testimony that's being
229
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:42.399
read off to the jury, and the jury is being
230
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:46.600
instructed or told by the DA that Miss Kim was
231
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:49.840
killed between twelve forty eight pm and one fifty eight
232
00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:53.519
PM on Saturday, and now we have testimony, direct testimony
233
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:55.879
from Coleman saying that he had dinner with her that night.
234
00:14:57.080 --> 00:15:02.679
It just makes me sick. Question, in fact, one reason
235
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:04.840
you were confused here is because you had dinner with
236
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:09.320
miss Kim on Friday and on Saturday night. Isn't that true? Answer?
237
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:10.759
Not on Saturday night?
238
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:19.799
What Saturday in the early am?
239
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:23.879
No, that would have been Sunday. Now, that would have
240
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.799
been Sunday early am. The point here, though, is that
241
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:29.759
he just got done confirming that he had a microwave
242
00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:33.480
dinner and he enjoyed a dinner with him on Saturday night.
243
00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:36.320
Now when he said, now, when he's being asked, you
