“You weren’t talking. So when you say Katy and Tom worked things out, you don’t really know that, do you?”
“It’s what I understood.”
“You understood. But you had no contact with Katy, by your own admission, for months prior to Tom’s murder.”
“That’s right.”
“And yet, upon finding out she was being questioned regarding Tom’s murder, you immediately got involved, didn’t you?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You arranged for Katy to be represented by your sister, Cass Leary, didn’t you?”
“I asked her to help, yes.”
“Because Katy still mattered to you. Because you and she will never end, right?”
“Because she’s the mother of my daughter. And because I know she didn’t do this.”
I wanted to slap him. He was letting Addison get under his skin.
“You know she didn’t do this. But that’s not really true, is it? You have no idea what was going on with Katy and Tom because as you say, you had no contact with her.”
“We weren’t talking. But I know Katy. She’s not capable of murdering anyone.”
“You weren’t even in town.”
“I know Katy,” he said.
“You don’t really know anything. Were you there?”
“What?”
“Where were you the morning of March 14th? What were you doing?”
“Objection,” Jeanie said. “This is totally irrelevant. Mr. Leary isn’t the accused here.”
“Mr. Leary just vouched for his ex-wife on matters he has no knowledge of. I’d like to establish that.”
“Overruled,” Castor said.
“The question is,” Quick continued. “Where were you on the morning of March 14th?”
“Are you accusing me of something?”
“You have no idea what was going on with Tom and Katy. Much less what happened in that house on the morning of March 14th, unless you were there? Were you?”
“No!”
“No. You weren’t. And where were you?”
“I spent the night in Northville. I had a large home renovation job I was overseeing. I told the police that.”
“So you did. You weren’t even in town. You have no idea what went on in the Loomis house that morning, do you?”
“No,” he said. “I don’t.”
“By the way, you needed that job you were on too, right? Your construction company has been underwater for a while, hasn’t it?”
