One could wonder if the phone call that was made from the Hopkins home to adopted son Doyle, also known as Butch, on February 1, 1991, in California. Was Marvin Holley calling to let Leamon's adoptive son know what was about to happen? If the timeline of the crime was 8:30 to 9:45, why did the state witness, who said Pulley never left the house throughout the entire investigation, until well after 11:00 p.m. to retrieve his wife's items from a convenience store? A neighbor down the way corroborated and testified that he saw Pulley at the store shortly before closing time at 12:00. Why would the defense never question or dispute this info? I'll tell you why: one did no trial prep and worked for the District Attorney's office in co-defendant's case, and the other came on thirty days before the last trial, doing very little trial prep, pushing a "15 do 10" plea deal, referring to family members as idiots for not helping con an innocent man into a guilty plea. 🤔
