"I cut the grass every week."
"Were you present at the Calder residence on the evening Mr. Calder was murdered?"
"Yes."
"For what reason?"
"I was looking to steal something, if I could." He didn't appear to be embarrassed by this answer.
"Did you have occasion to approach the rear door of the house and look inside?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"I heard a noise, like a gun."
"When you looked inside, what did you see?"
"I saw Mr. Calder, lying on the floor bleeding, and Mrs. Calder standing there, and a gun was on the floor."
"And what did you do?"
"I ran. I didn't want to be caught there."
"Your witness," Chu said to Blumberg.
Marc stood. "Mr. Cordova, you say you saw Mrs. Calder standing next to Mr. Calder's body?"
Yes.
"How was she dressed?"
"In a bathrobe."
"What kind of bathrobe?"
"You know, the terry kind."
"Terrycloth?"
"Yes."
"What color?"
"White."
"Did the robe have a hood?"
"Yes, she was wearing the hood."
"Did you see her face?"
"Not exactly."
"Was she facing you?"
"Not exactly."
