8
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:56.159
Good morning, True Seekers and true crime junkies. Welcome back
9
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.359
to another episode of Hit the Roadjack Finding the Zodiac.
10
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:01.600
Friday the thirteenth.
11
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:05.439
We are going to continue back with the wrongful conviction
12
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:08.840
of Peter Wilson. I'm going to be going over some
13
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.400
transcripts today. I will be briefly reading, or at least
14
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.120
just highlighting some points in it, but I will be
15
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:17.159
showing the presentation. So if you want to read that
16
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:20.480
entire transcript yourself, you're welcome to pause it and go
17
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:21.480
back and take a look.
18
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:23.799
It gets extremely.
19
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.000
Interesting at this point because we are going to be
20
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.400
talking and discussing things such as laundering money and drug
21
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.200
trafficking and all the things that we actually find in
22
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.480
the Zodiac. Podcast kind of runs in suit with this
23
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:42.519
stuff that is happening the law enforcement that are being
24
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.480
either paid or are just bad at hard I suppose,
25
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.719
because they're definitely not protecting the public when they're doing
26
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:51.760
some of these things. And you're going to get to
27
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.239
hear a bit more about that throughout today's transcripts. We're
28
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:59.280
going to be looking over the testimony of William William Coleman,
29
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:05.079
which is the second roommate in the household in which
30
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:09.360
Hawk To Kim was killed, and my client Peter Wilson
31
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:12.199
believes that he is the likely suspect. So we'll be
32
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.520
finding out some of those reasons today because his testimony
33
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:18.439
is just a bit sketchy and a whole lot fishy.
34
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:21.240
So I'd like to welcome to the show, Harriet Souchet.
35
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:29.759
Yes again, Happy Friday the thirteenth to you too. We
36
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:34.000
always love that I'm usually lucky on Friday the thirteenth
37
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:37.520
because everything about my birthday, my name, everything is either
38
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:41.319
at thirteen or twenty two. If you follow anything about neurology,
39
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.240
you'll understand what I'm talking about.
40
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:48.319
I don't, and yeah, then we'll then congratulations on your day.
41
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.120
All right, So I'm climbing right back in. Last week
42
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.319
we just good morning, Nolan let's welcome Nolan to the show.
43
00:02:58.000 --> 00:02:58.639
Good morning.
44
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:01.240
I'm just climb, I mean right back in we left
45
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:03.560
off last week. I think the last thing we talked
46
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.520
about in this was that Linda Condra and the DA
47
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.400
argues it's a waste of time to introduce the exculpatory
48
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:12.280
evidence such as the cigarette bud and the seamen and
49
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.000
the sperm, because she doesn't want the jury to hear
50
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.560
anything that would confuse anything other than an indictment on
51
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:22.280
Peter Wilson. So following up with that, we're going to
52
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.319
talk about we're going to hear what she has to
53
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:29.879
say in regards to third party evidence. So I'm not
54
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.479
sure where I lost one eighty two, but it starts
55
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:36.879
off on I'm sorry nine, I'm missing the first page
56
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.759
that starts this paragraph. But she's stating that a significant theory.
57
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:43.400
But the question isn't the significance of the theory his
58
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:47.199
preferred evidence is supposed to support. The question is the
59
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.159
significance of the evidence. And although it's true if he
60
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:54.400
had legitimate, reasonable evidence that gave a suggestion not only
61
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:56.680
of the mere opportunity for there to have been a
62
00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:00.840
third party culpability, but that creates an actual nexus between
63
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.199
a third party and the commission of the crime such
64
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.240
that there is significant evidence.
65
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:08.240
That's one thing. That's not what we have got here.
66
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.120
I have read this paragraph Nolan several times, and I
67
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:13.319
honestly do not.
68
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:17.399
I feel like she just confused everybody. Did that make
69
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:19.519
sense to you?
70
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:19.759
No?
71
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:21.399
I mean.
72
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:28.480
She's speaking politicians speak. She's just trying to convince you
73
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:29.959
that the world is flat.
74
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.560
Yes, that's how I felt. I was like, which way
75
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.680
are you going with this? I mean, it doesn't really
76
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:37.360
make a lot of sense to me, And I just
77
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:41.839
don't understand if he had a legitimate, reasonable evidence we do,
78
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:43.120
you're trying to block it.
79
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.079
Yeah, why would the prosecution wanted?
80
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:50.120
What's that?
81
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:52.639
The only reason is because she made up her mind
82
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:55.480
that she wants to convict this one guy and this
83
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:56.639
and damn.
84
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.800
Justice exactly, and that that's the kind of the way
85
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:02.600
I look at it, and I get it.
86
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:04.959
I understand. This is the second trial, and the.
87
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:08.160
First trial was a hung jury, likely because there was
88
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.399
that third party culpability that was introduced. Now she's trying
89
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.279
to block that altogether and wants them to focus on
90
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.680
the fact they found his blood at the scene, but
91
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:19.600
with no explanation for how that blood got there, because
92
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.680
he's not covered in blood when they show up, he's not,
93
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:23.839
you know what I'm saying.
94
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:28.240
And as we go through this advantage though he's.
95
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.879
Bandaged up, but he bled in San Francisco, he didn't
96
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:36.759
bleed in Palo Alto, So I mean, yeah, well we
97
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:41.399
know how the Michael Yore, the arresting officer, took one
98
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.240
vial of his blood out of the property evidence on
99
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.639
Sunday when the forensics department isn't even open till Monday,
100
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:49.959
and he had no cause to do that. I've actually
101
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:53.240
spoken to a couple former law enforcement officers the last week,
102
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.399
and none of them can make any sense of it.
103
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.959
They cannot make sense of the expopable evidence being removed
104
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.680
from its file. They don't scan that page that says
105
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.839
removed due to teriffs. They said that they've never seen
106
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.160
anything like that before. Once it goes in the file,
107
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:12.120
it doesn't come out of the file. So we definitely have.
108
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:13.079
Some foul play here.
109
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.560
So to go on, the court says, after she responds
110
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.920
this way, that's what's involved. There is no question as
111
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:24.199
to the holding and the law as regard to this matter.
112
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:25.839
It is totally fact driven.
113
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.639
There was an item that has not been referred to
114
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:32.120
by council, and that is the reference to a car
115
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.879
that there was a taxi driver described a covered car
116
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.240
when he picked up the defend in round two PM
117
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:42.399
that date. Now, that matches Peter Wilson's statements that when
118
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.480
he got home from the restaurant that he saw a
119
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.279
vehicle covered in with a car cover and miss Kim's
120
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:49.680
BMW was gone.
121
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:51.160
So I'm going to take.
122
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:54.720
That inference to mean that mister Wilson knew exactly what
123
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:59.120
shape and style her car was, and that likely whatever
124
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:01.959
car was underneath that car cover did not match that
125
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:04.639
same style for him to have said that it was
126
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:05.879
not her BMW.
127
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:08.199
So we know that at two.
128
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:12.439
O'clock, based on both the taxi cab driver's testimony and
129
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.800
Peter Wilson's testimony, is that there was a vehicle in
130
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.120
that driveway that was covered by a car cover and
131
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:19.639
Miss Kim's car was gone.
132
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:24.160
So he says a taxi.
133
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.160
This is the court saying a taxi driver described a
134
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.360
covered car when he picked up the defendant around two
135
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:32.639
PM that date. What does that have I'm not sure
136
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:33.879
the inference I'm.
137
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:34.600
To draw from that.
138
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:38.600
Mister Parsku, which is the public defender, says, well, the
139
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:41.199
evidence will also show that, according to Miss Kim's family,
140
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:43.959
Miss Kim did not have a car cover for her car,
141
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.360
so it's certainly and he gets cut off. The court says,
142
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.959
I'm sorry, a car cover for her car like this
143
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:53.439
is this is He's like, I don't under It's like
144
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:57.800
he's saying, I don't understand the inference to this. Mister
145
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.040
Perisco says, for her car now, the taxi cab driver,
146
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:04.000
she owned a BMW. She parked it in the driveway.
147
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.120
She did not have a car cover to cover it.
148
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.040
So he's basically trying to relate to the court and
149
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.759
somehow doesn't manage to get it out that there was
150
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.360
a second vehicle in the driveway when mister Wilson was
151
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:17.560
picked up by the taxi cab driver, which they both
152
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:24.160
testified to. So that being said, we're going to move
153
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:29.399
on TOFF. It's extremely important evidence. It's it's another sign
154
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.120
of third party culpability. So we've got a cigarette butt,
155
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:36.120
we've got an alleged rate based on semen and sperm
156
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:38.399
found on the victim. We've got a vehicle that is
157
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.919
not identifiable by the tenants. Well, actually, the only person
158
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:45.600
who's it's later not there, and we're going to get
159
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.559
into that when we get into Coleman's testimony. It's absolutely
160
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:51.720
the more I read his testimony, the more I can
161
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.240
see why mister Wilson is convinced that he was the
162
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:55.320
perpetrator of the crime.
163
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.759
But I also played Devil's advocate on that side.
164
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:02.240
So this particular and as I go through these, I'm
165
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:04.919
not going to read everything on these transcripts. I'm just
166
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.159
going to read the highlighted or brief what it is
167
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.399
that I know. But everybody will be able to see
168
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.559
the actual transcripts on their own end. They can pause
169
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:15.519
and read them for themselves that they'd like. This particular
170
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:18.000
slide number forty four is what I call states bad
171
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:21.399
collection of evidence. So basically, they collected the leaves in
172
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:24.440
the basement, and they provided them to a leaf expert
173
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:27.159
who identified them as being the same leaf that was
174
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:31.080
found stuck to the buttocks of Kim underneath her underwear
175
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:34.279
and her pants, which would indicate that somebody had pulled
176
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:38.440
those down in the basement, and after redressing her, accidentally
177
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:40.919
scooped up a leaf that became stuck to her buttocks.
178
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:44.200
But then the state turns around and sends an investigator
179
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.840
back out to the property to go around the property
180
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:50.320
trying to find leaves that match those in the basement,
181
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:53.600
which I don't even understand what their purpose of this was,
182
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:57.720
because the investigator while at the property, now mind you,
183
00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:00.559
it's owned by a new person. He's out they're taking
184
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:04.080
clippings from a bush when that new residence says, that's
185
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:07.399
a tree I planted, so there would this wouldn't be
186
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:10.799
related to whatever crime that occurred here at the house.
187
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.240
And even then he only takes that sample and one
188
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.159
other sample from another tree. And I'm not, again, not
189
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.639
sure why they would do that. If you're going to test,
190
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:23.519
you should test all the trees. Which is mister Pariscu's
191
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.960
point in regards to the state's collection of bad evidence,
192
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:29.559
is that they should have pulled something from every single
193
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:32.240
living bush and tree in that in and around that
194
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:35.519
property if they wanted to determine if those those leaves
195
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:37.799
in the basement actually came from the property or if
196
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:39.519
they were carried in by somebody else.
197
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:43.440
Leaves in the basement as well.
198
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:47.159
Yes, then those leaves match the ones stuck to her buttox.
199
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:50.360
But the two that the state collected from outside the
200
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:54.120
house on the property did not match right, And one
201
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.759
of them, he was specifically told by the current resident,
202
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:00.240
is not I planted that tree. It wasn't here the
203
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.799
crime happened. But that person, that investigator, still proceeded to
204
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:05.919
take a clipping of that tree and take it back.
205
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:07.240
Very strange.
206
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:07.919
Why I don't know.
207
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:12.360
Yeah, no, that's it's totally irrelevant. It has no bearing.
208
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:14.639
So what was the state attempting to do with this
209
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:19.240
leaf evidence would be extremely interesting to me. So basically
210
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:21.840
we need to start out with some of the things
211
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:24.240
that are going on here. This is the William Coleman
212
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.960
testimony is going to be read, and it's from the
213
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.559
nineteen I wrote nineteen ninety six, but it's a nineteen
214
00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:32.559
ninety eight trial that they read into the two thousand trial.
215
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.799
And this is the instructions of the judge to the jury.
216
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:38.919
And I wanted everybody to hear this. So the court says,
217
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:42.879
all right, ladies, yes, okay.
218
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:45.559
So he was there for the first trial, but he
219
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.840
split and was out of the country for the next one.
220
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.279
I think that once her testimony in the next one.
221
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:55.559
Correct and this is where I say I kind of
222
00:11:55.600 --> 00:12:00.480
played devil's advocate, because if Coleman didn't kill Kim and
223
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:04.600
the first jury came back hung, he realized what law
224
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:08.480
enforcement and the system could do to mister Wilson. When
225
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:11.399
he knew mister Wilson hadn't killed her, I might have
226
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:14.399
cut my bracelet and run for the hills myself, because
227
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:16.799
that meant I was next on the firing line. So
228
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:21.279
I think that when mister Wilson didn't get indicted for
229
00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:24.720
I'm sorry, convicted of this crime, that he thought he
230
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.919
had to now worry about himself and he got out
231
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:29.279
of town. Now, if he was the killer and he
232
00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:31.399
got out of town, it is likely because he felt
233
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:34.000
that mister Wilson wasn't going to be convicted of the
234
00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:36.159
crime and that they were going to proceed to look
235
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:38.200
for other suspects, but they stopped short.
236
00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:40.480
And in fact, in Coleman's.
237
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:43.519
Own testimony, they didn't take any evidence from him that night.
238
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:45.679
So it does appear.
239
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:47.200
At a later date that he did some type of
240
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:50.759
a rape kit for the city, but in the beginning
241
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.840
they took nothing from him, and they just absolutely hemmed
242
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:57.440
up Wilson and pinned everything on Wilson, and he's the
243
00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:00.720
one that found the body. So the judge says to
