Even so Mary cannot believe Jerry could have murdered anyone and she reluctantly decides to try to prove someone else did the shooting.There is no lack of other candidates for her to choose from: Jerry's aunt May is crazy after her husband George ran off with al the money he could get a hold of, ran off with his secretary Jessica. They made it to Florida but haven't been heard of in four years since. George did own a gun that could have killed Jerry's friend.
