Kyota. I'm Chelsea Daniels and from the team behind the front page the New Zealand Herald's daily news podcast, This is Accused the Polkinghorn Trial. Over the next six weeks, in conjunction with our usual daily episodes, we'll be bringing you regular coverage as one of the most high profile trials of the year makes its way through the High Court at Auckland. A warning, this podcast contains disturbing content.
The court has gotten its first glimpse of evidence from those closest to Philip Polkinghorn and Pauline Hannah, and some insight into his infidelity, and we have heard directly from Polkinghorn, with the court hearing his interview with police for the first time. The former Auckland ice surgeon is accused of murdering his his DHB boss wife in April twenty twenty one, but he says she took her own life. Day seven of the seventy one year old's trial saw Stephen McIntyre
take the stand. He and his wife were family friends of Polkinghorn and Hannah. Both couples had batches at Rings Beach on the Corimandel, about fifteen minutes north of Fitty younger and became close over about twenty five years. Let's see each other over public holidays, long weekends, and over the Christmas period. Those usual times people would escape the city and head to their holiday homes. That'd spend time together, coffee in the morning, a bit of diving, fishing, dinners and barbecues.
She was a very vivacious woman. She was a very proud woman and a woman that was always to put her best foot forward. Obviously a professional woman. We used to talk about her career and life in general.
And when you say she was a proud woman, what do you mean by that?
She was always meticulously turned out. She didn't really like you seeing her in the morning until until she was made up.
Yeah, she was a well presented woman.
In the twelve to eighteen months before Hannah's death, McIntyre says Polkinghorn had changed.
He was a very intelligent, funny, witty, generous man and we always had a lot of laughs together. And I felt that in that period leading up to Pauline's death, I felt that he was quite changed. He told me some things that turned out well, I doubted the truth of them. His nature changed her in his physical presence changed he became.
Slimmer and.
Sort of more muscly, a different physique from what he'd had. He became a bit more manic, a little bit irrational, I felt at times, and as I said, I didn't think he was behaving normally or truthfully to me at all times.
Okay, can we just talk about that a little bit?
He said, he became he changed and became a little bit more I think manic and irrational were the words you used.
Can you just explain why you use those words.
I felt he was using drugs.
McIntyre said. Polkinghorn, or Polky to which the community came to know him, was becoming slimmer, more mustly. He says, he became jumpy, slightly irrational. He would talk fast at times, would change the subject. He was being a weirdo, he said. McIntire spoke of a time when Polkinghorn had told him of a car accident. He'd swerved to miss a dog on the road, rolled his ute into a field and drove off without anyone seeing. A couple of weeks later, he would say he had fallen asleep at the wheel
and asked him not to tell his wife. McIntire thought his friend was lying. How did Polkinghorn get a bill for a fence when he said no one had seen it? On cross examination, defense lawyer Ron Mansfield clarified some details about this car accident. Did McIntyre know the accident was captured on security footage? He didn't. Did he know his friend had paid to fix the fence and then some repairs had cost four hundred dollars but Polkinghorn had given two thousand dollars.
Now we know that because the owner of the fence has been spoken to him affirmed those details, DAMI that was called on the security footage, the damage to the fence being just under four hundred, and that he paid them two thousand.
So you would accept that. Yep.
So some of what he has told you, as far as what you can recall.
In fact, he is correct, doesn't it? Yes?
And what you thought was an unusual story from him perhaps appears less unusual in.
Light of those details. Correct, it's a little more plausable.
I mean, these things can happen, Right, You have a conversation, you think that doesn't seem quite right, You learn some more information and you go, okay, well it's not as odd as I thought.
Correct.
Correct, Polky told his friend about his frustration over the issues he was having at auckland I relating to his retirement. Polkinghorn watched his longtime friend intently as he gave evidence, leaning forward and rubbing his chin. The Crown next called former Consumer and Z product test manager Paul Smith, who gave evidence on the power usage at the Upland Road home.
Power data reports in thirty minute intervals and shows how much power was used in a half hour period, but there's no way to be precise and look at it minute by minute. Every house has a baseline amount of energy, for instance, overnight used by a fridge or a freezer, clocks or other things that are always plugged in and always on. Looking at Smith's graph, there are four heightened periods. From nine am April fourth to nine am April fifth,
the morning Hannah was found dead. Six thirty pm to ten thirty pm on April fourth, was the highest usage. There's no way to assign any particular appliance to these spikes, but you can look at what's in the house and make an estimate based on their usual energy use. Smith was asked to establish whether a toaster or jug could have been used For example, we know Polkinghorn told police had gone downstairs about seven forty five am to make
tea and toast. These appliances could be used at any time during those skyscraper periods, those four I mentioned before, But there's an early morning period with a little jump in energy use.
The early morning period has a very small jump in energy, not as great in each period or on average as the amount of energy that the toaster or the kettle would need to use. So I reasonably ruled out the use of either of those appliances during that period.
Just be clear and reading from your graph for us what that period is that you rule out the use of the toaster and kettle.
So that period the early morning starts at four am and runs up until the end of the seven thirty am period, so right up before eight.
Am on the fifth.
So does that mean seven fifty nine and fifty nine second and.
Fifty nine seconds, so we could almost call that eight o'clock.
It could almost call that eight o'clock.
So that energy increase over that baseline during that early morning period isn't sufficient for both the use of the toaster and the kettle. From eight am, there's a slightly larger increase in energy, which is sufficient to support the use of either the toaster or the kettle, not both. He was also asked about the washing machine. The model in the remuware a home uses very little energy.
A washing machine tends to use most of its energy to heat water for a hot or warm wash cycle. The model in question had a hot water connection, so it didn't use a lot of energy in its cycle, actually less than the toaster or the kettle.
Really yeah. It also.
Also it also used that energy over a longer period. So a typical wash cycle for that model is about forty five minutes. So we're looking at a period where we're using less energy than the kettle over a much longer period and a period that spans multiple.
Half hours intervals.
So it was very difficult to rule out the use of the washing machine outside of the overnight baseline period.
In the period from ten thirty to eleven thirty, there's a small increase in energy. He can't roll out the use of the washing machine during that period. The dryer, on the other hand, uses a significantly larger amount, and given it does use so much and over a longer period. There was only one skyscraper period where it could have been on April fourth, between six thirty pm and ten thirty pm, the night before Hannah's death. On cross examination,
Mansfield eluded He'll be calling his own power expert. Later in the trial, he referenced a report from a man named Beattie who concluded the jug could have been used prior to eight am on the morning of April fifth. He also alerted Smith to the fact the toaster had been on level one Consumer and Z testing is done on the assumption a piece of bread is toasted brown and not by individual settings. He got Smith to clarify, you can't know exactly what appliance has used, only make
assumptions on what could be. The Crown called Helen Poulson, an e SR forensic scientist who gave evidence on toxicology. She examined hannah blood, urine, and the liquid from inside the eye. Twenty seven milligrams per one hundred millilters of alcohol was found in the blood. The legal limit is fifty milligrams. Legal drugs were also found in Hannah's blood. They were fluoxetine, an antidepressant, phenamine, an appetite suppressant, and zopoclone,
a sedative or hypnotic. The levels of fluoxetine and phenamine were normal. The amount of zopoclone was twice the normal therapeutic dose. Poulson said it's also not recommended to mix it with alcohol. Methamphetamine and amphetamine were detected in the liquid found in the unflushed on sweet toilet in the guest room. Hannah had been sleeping in. Meth metabolizes to amphetamine in the body, so it's normal to find it
in the fluids of a meth user. Hannah's thirty four centimeter long hair sample was sent to Melbourne for testing and they were asked to analyze about six months of growth.
Zobiklone was the only drug detected in the hair sample, no others.
No other drugs were detected A.
Right, So what does it suggest then in terms of myth amphetamine usage of the deceison There.
Is no evidence that she induced methmphetamine.
And a cross low period of time.
Six months certainly was in the six months prior to her death.
On cross examination, Ron Mansfield asked Paulson about whether when has regularly dyed, could it reduce the ability for drugs to be found in it. He made her read out a list of chemicals found in the dye used in Hannah's hair, to which he asked whether they could strip math or other drugs from the sample. She said she
couldn't exactly say. The phentamene, or weight loss drug, which Hannah was prescribed forty scripts over ten years, didn't show up in the hair sample, although Paulson said it would have. Pulson agreed the die could explain why a drug she took frequently, like the diet drug, might not be found in her hair. Another arsal forensic scientist, Timothy Power, was
called to the stand late on day seven. After going through the intricacies of the DNA tests used around the home, Power agreed with Mansfield that the fact Polkinghorn and his wife lived in the home meant their DNA would be all over it. On day eight, the Crown first called Barry Payne, the couple's personal trainer. He trained them at City Fitness, Newmarket about twice a week, a Monday and a Saturday, sometimes a Wednesday. He's trained polking Horn for
about fifteen years and Hannah about eight. Pip McNabb, a prosecutor assisting Crown Solicitor Alsia McClintock questioned him about the couple's relationship. He said, generally they got on pretty well. It was pretty normal.
Did she talk at all about her relationship with doctor Polkinghorn.
Ah, they seemed okay at times, but she once meted and mentioned that she thought Philip Haetta had a girlfriend, and I ignored it, really hope the next year answer, it was not the sort of conversation I wanted to get in with, so I didn't really follow that up. And I'm like, I wouldn't with any couple really yet, I don't want to know their business and never.
Sense Hannah didn't really talk about her personal life to him. The chat about movies, her work, other tidbits. She was in good shape, took pride in how she presented herself, and Polkinghorn trained well and strictly for a man his age too. Payne saw the couple on the Saturday that long weekend and had organized to see them on the
Easter Monday, the morning of Hannah's death. He was all dressed, having a coffee sitting on his couch at home ahead of the nine am appointment with Hannah when Polkinghorn called, and.
When I answered, I said I thought, he said she's gone. You know, she's dead, She's gone.
I thought. I didn't take it seriously. I thought, which is sleeping?
I said something stupid like that, you know, And and Philip was pretty distraught at that time and said, no, no, she's dead and gone.
And I've stunn mollot I was.
I didn't know how to respond particularly, and I said what happened? And he didn't say, she's just she's gone. And I thought it was a car act. I didn't know what had happened, so it was a bit grimmer, and and I said, oh, we'll see you well he said I can't which way her And it was I'll see you later in the week and have a copy and we'll go over it. And I hung up.
They didn't meet for coffee that week. Defense lawyer Ron Mansfield asked Pain about Polkinghorn's behavior before his wife's death.
Didn't seem menic, No, No, not at all. Didn't seem distracted.
Not that I noticed. No, Philip was always very focused. I thought, was.
It jumping around from tobok to tobock?
No, No, I can't remember that. No, wasn't a retic, no, no way, no, And.
Didn't turn into a weirdow in the.
Last No, no, not at all.
No, No, I never thought that this contradicts evidence given on day seven from the couple's long term friend, Stephen McIntyre. The court briefly heard from a nurse at County's Monaco DHB who knew Hannah from her role in the vaccination program. She administered the vaccine to Hannah on April fourth, the day before her death. She spent less than three minutes with her that day, but said there were no injuries
or marks on her body by late morning. To take Senior Sergeant Lisa Jane Anderson was called to the stand. She went to Mount Cook in the South Island, where Polkinghorn and his girlfriend Madison Ashton was staying after Hannah's death. You'll remember Ashton mentioned in the Crown's opening. She's a Sydney based sex worker. Anderson arrived at Mount Cook Lakeside Retreat about seven o six pm on April thirty. A white Toyota Polkinghorn had hired was parked out the front
of a standalone unit called the Matsariki Room. Anderson was there with two christ Church detectives to seize Madison Ashton's phones, which were then handed over to a digital forensic unit in christ Church.
She declined to provide the pin numbers.
Mister Polkinghorn prison at that point, as he was.
What happened after she refused to supply the pin numbers as she was asked again he refused.
To King The Crown then called Rob Masters, who was living in a unit in Northcote Point, a block of twelve apartments in the North Shore known as Melrose Court. Masters noticed a white Mercedes with the number plate Rattina. He first saw the car about twenty nineteen, and it visited the complex on a weekly basis, sometimes more frequently. Over time, he came to recognize the man who drove that car. He met him a couple of times on the driveway where he'd trained clients. He was a personal trainer.
Did you learn of the individual's name? Yes? I did.
What was that Philip Pulkinghorn And how did you come to learn of his name? He was introduced at one of our agms as Philip John something along those lines. I can't remember where there is surname. And then obviously during the media attention right once his wife at being passed away.
The woman who lived at the complex was rachel Or A Laria. She used both names. She was in her early to mid fifties with long blondish grayish hair. Polkinhorn would visit a bag, usually in tow. Masters saw bottles of champagne, women's clothing. Perhaps it would never be a farmer's bag or something like that. He said they were fancy bags. He described him as being well dressed. He had seen him once wearing scrubs like the ones a
doctor would wear. Rachel Or A Laria would have a couple of other regular visitors as well, but none as frequent as the white Mercedes with the number plate Retina. He disappeared during the COVID lockdowns.
I don't recall seeing him during level four lockdown, but the day after week, the day we went to level three.
He appeared on that day a couple of lockdowns, as I recall.
Yeah, if you recall if it was the first or the second longer lockdown, looklan that.
No, I couldn't say for certain. It was definitely the day after because it was like, oh yeah, that didn't.
Take long sort of thing.
Rember. Yeah, thank you man.
Yes, Brian Dickie asked Masters what his neighbor, Rachel did for work.
My understanding is that Rachel was a sex worker.
After Hannah's death, the neighbor noticed the car with the number plate RETNA vanished. Marah Riddington also lived at that block of apartments, and she knew Rachel, who'd asked one day to be referred to as Alaria. She also saw polking Horn at the address.
Did you make a.
Link to the writtena number plate after you saw media around the death of miss Pulling Hannah?
I know I saw him the first times he came because he was a terrible driver, terrible at parking and nearly ran into me. So the first thing you do is look at the number plate.
She'd see him while she was in her garden and say hello, nothing more. She too noticed his gift bags along with the champagne he'd visited in his white Mercedes and a red ute.
He was noticeable because.
He's a man who likes to stand out. You know, he'd come with champagne and gifts for her, and one time wearing his hospital scrubs, you know, complete with hat and COVID. I mean that stands out.
In the afternoon, Jacob Pollock was called to the stand. He's a private investigator. He told the court about Pauline Hannah making an inquiry through his firm's website. She wanted to arrange a meeting to conduct an infidelity investigation on her husband. She didn't give away too much detail other than that, but wanted to speak by phone. She said she'd call, but Pollock never heard from her again. This contact was made. On July twenty, twenty twenty, Detective Sergeant
I Lona Walton was recalled to the stand. You'll remember her from earlier on in the trial. She conducted the videoed police interview with Polkinghorn, which is nearly three hours long. The video was then played for the jury. Because the content of the lengthy interview jumped around a lot, we're not going to go through every detail of it, but it's fair to say the interview was jumpy and erratic. You can read transcripts of this interview on the ends
at Herald website. There'll be a link in our show notes, but we'll be playing you a few snippets. Polkinghorn's interview canvass is a range of topics before he even gets to the morning of his wife's death. In it, Polkinghorn explains the layout of the house and draws it on a piece of paper for Walton. There's talk of the visit to the Highbury Vaccination Center that weekend, details about a tent and a phylaxus cases, and Hannah's work in general.
He spoke of him being away and funk at eight in the days prior, and an incident about ten years before where someone had tried to break into the home while he was away.
Double wooden.
Seat in the garden and thought she when I was away once someone up turned it on the side, so he used it as a letter to climb up into the deck into the library and tried to break him and she was petrified. Oh wow, okay, so were there's a result that she's put security lighting around the thing, so the only blink outside the lights come on, And.
Was that reported to the police?
I don't like Why don't you camp It was a long as ten years ago probably?
He jumps around the events of days beforehand. He goes into detail about the ute Hannah had taken to the tip the day before and her inability to put it into reverse. The pair wanted to clear the garage of junk. He talks about the orange rope.
The orange rope is a nylon rope.
It's it's free coarse, but it was fry frying at one end. We both ended on and I boomed it to see the thing that stopped fraying.
And but she took a lot by company and what dad.
Did it a couple of days ago, He mentions an argument or discussion as he calls it, about staining their beach house, the one in the Corimandel. He details an episode of New Amsterdam that watched the night before on Netflix, and he mentions she had called a range of people the day before, which he deemed unusual. Polkinghorn told Walton about Hannah's mother dying about six weeks prior. He tells a story about Hannah going to call her mother about
a cricket game but realizing she was gone. So the night before they had a couple of drinks in the library, talked about the day and watched the medical drama on Netflix, New Amsterdam. She was helping him draft a letter. He gives a blow by blow about troubles converting the document on his computer from Hannah's and the difficulty in printing it. He was drinking chiraz. She preferred Pino noir. He thinks she drank about a bottle and a half of wine. He probably had about two glasses.
Like an intoxication. It was on things last night. Never seen a drunker, have never seen a drunk never, So she wasn't drunk last night. No, No, I wouldn't say she was drunk before. She probably wasn't toxicate. But she wasn't mad.
She had a drunken driving offense once, so she's never done that again, and.
I was not very happy with that.
Yeah, how long ago was that?
It probably ten years or something. Maybe, yeah, a long time, quite a long time. It doesn't it's an excuson.
In my opinion. But she wasn't presenting. She wouldn't fall over and stuff like that.
Nothing like that, you know, or No, sometimes people get a little bit bigly or silly or.
Well she I know, I don't think so at all.
She was.
She was a bit emotional about some of the TVs.
I don't think if she watched it in the afternoon, she would have been crying about some of the things.
If you know what I mean.
But the God of the float cat, you know, I mean, it's tragic for the story, and they I think I've over make a comment because the lady did a tracheost to me his wife. He's not medically qualified to do it with a pen knife, and they.
Put a straw into his trachea, so you breathe now. The unfortunate thing about that bit of.
Is that if you think how big your mouth is now, and the tricky goes basically downline that to put a thing a little straw and to think that ain't gonna make much difference.
But she recklessly saved its life and they had a cops and back. But she thought he might have died. I see he won't die.
It won't die in it for the next week.
The max good television. It does makes good television. And then she she might have said it was too harsh or something.
He goes into their daily routines. He'd usually be up before her and makes her breakfast in.
Bed, so I make put in breakfast and being in Warner, she has yeah, they always have, but she's opus.
I know I can drink a cup of tuo lying on her back. Good skill. And then sometimes she saves me. We have my breakfast eating it. She doesn't even know she's eating it. Do you make a good breakfast?
She has the same thing every day she has she has one piece of toast and it has to be mckimsy bread and she has on a veno margarine or something. And then she likes lime marmalade, roses lime marmalade, and then she has we have because we discovered this tea its cinder burtle wing, but it's technically maybe by a company called the Tea Company Tea Letter not me T two actually, And we discovered this thing called French Earl graystious.
Wow, isn't it fantastic?
Yeah, once I made a mistake buy it online, showing how clever I was, and I came back with the Earl Gray.
And it was we came away.
I think she usually gets home after him, so he cooks a dinner. She usually lets him know when she's on her way home.
And she and I said to her, look, then will be really later? Just tell me. I didn't care what time it does.
And then so when she comes in the door, I usually the garage door open with her now cleaned if you come open the leaves and but yeah, so she has ever gaged door and sometimes if she's very lucky. I'm standing at at the top of the stairs that she comes up the garage holding a glass of wine for it.
He eventually gets to the events of that morning the downstairs.
Intended on the jugger and put three bits of toast and the toaster okay, and then got the butter and stuff out ready for that now, great tea. I find that you've got to before attended the toaster because kensy.
Bout a quite big. I think what you're doing now a good.
Old He put the toast in and I have it on the low setting, but it only will do the leaves the top cup of things. So what happens that once the tea's made? So while the keeople poured the tea in, then I turned the toast over to the remaining a couple of centimeters plus it browns it off of it into the dish washer too, I can't remember. So that's what I was sort of fiddling around with.
He didn't think he'd gotten far into the process. He doesn't think he turned on the kettle before he found Hannah and the entrance way. He panicked, he said, and dialed one one, one four before realizing and correctly calling one one one.
I didn't. I just didn't know.
And what.
To put me through the ambulance people and they said, stayed with her.
She breathing horse says no, I said, and she's cold. And then I and then I I.
Was trying to get her out and put it down flat.
I think they told me to do that. I can't remember. And as I did, side dropped the phone.
Yeah, and that crashed all over the copy of the tiles, and I couldn't. There's almost I just something uncontrollably. Really, I mean, it's society having an arm pulled off you.
It was just it was just horrible. And I lay it down and then and and but Tom Ruth came over.
She we gave her a pillo and we're trying to make it comfortable, which is sounds stupid, and we're not.
We don't got off the chair. Her legs buckled.
Hawkinghorn walked Walton through what he thought he did with the belt and rope around Hannah's neck. The belt wasn't that tight. He thought he could put his hand under it. He spoke of undoing granny knots in the rope and how he laid her on the floor. Her rings were all in the inside, he said. He turned them around. She loved those bloody rings, he said. The rope was attached to the balustrade above. He mentions they were granny knots too. From memory, was.
It the rope attached to or the rope was attached to the bellustrade above?
Okay?
Yes, yes, the attached the bellustrade above. Now, and that was granny knots too. From memory, I might have been district be grandy knots, but along those lines at the bottom of the balustrade, okay, because I said to someone afterwards, I was surprised that the balustrade would take a weight,
shall we say, adweight of seventy kgs. So whether the knots, I don't know, whether they're not slipped or why don't I'm just trying to think, why was she sitting there in a chair, if you like, Maybe maybe she stood on the chair and.
Went off.
But and the knots, I don't know. I don't know whether they're not held and slipped or what. I just don't know. I just I still think that seventy kg's on that balustrade.
There's a hell of a weight.
He was in a hurry to undo the rope, and he said it looked horrible just hanging there.
It looked too hideous to me, the the rope.
And I undered the rope upstairs and did Grannie nots upstairs?
You under the grannieknots upstairs? Yes, and got rid of the rope.
Well, when I say it got everyone, but it just didn't, you know, it looked awful just hanging there.
It just was horrible the rope. And then she's down there on the floor. Yeah, I can't remember she's coming on.
I think we were, but it was a quite ah, I'll say, but afterwards it made me it's still there when the ambulance people are right, but it just looked it was offensive to me the rope.
So wouldn't either arrived. It was at the rope and there when you were right, yeah, but so I wasn't first time saying so.
The ambulance were right, yeah, and the uniform police staff arrived, and then after that I'm not sure which order. I think there were a couple of remember, and then we arrived after that right, and there were us. So I'm just confused. There was rope.
Straight and then not taken off by at the time you got I thought, I do, not straight away but near enough straight away. But why do I leave for the ambulance drive with an uniform policeman the un and then take it.
Off the.
Well? It was still there when I left.
Oh no, it wasn't because it was unscrewed it and I hadn't It wasn't hanging by, but it was a hanging when you were still there.
So where have you put it?
Have you you were? No?
I put it. All I did was I thought, I thought.
I it's either up at the top or it's on the stairway going out.
Of the garage.
After a while, he asks if he could see his wife anyway.
That's that.
And I talked to one of the officers about the clothes because he said I might.
Be able to go and visit or the mortuary. Yeah, say goodbye to her.
So that there's something bad to today an.
The gossip of hard You need to get clearance from the bosses. But we can see what we can do. And I also like it to be in some clothes.
She's got some bignity, not them, just a body bag or.
Something horrible.
Unfortunately, if possible, Okay, I'm it's something that is it's beyond your break, beyond your breath.
When she gets to the funeral home and okay, I don't really like accepting oak. No no, no, no, no, no, okay, that's fine.
I've got one which.
She got cause yeah, because the funeral actually has a funeral, I can say goodbye to a their you can. That's probably there's probably been way I would say. I didn't even think about all that stuff. You know, I haven't got my head around all that. So of course I can say goodbye to with it. I don't need to say goodbye to her in a bloody could mortuary.
Guy, I would situ asult lots of times in mortuary, so I know what don't like.
We used to take eyes for donors, so I know what they like.
So there's a family room and a family viewing room and no, no, no, no no, no, you're quite well both do it at the the funeral funeral home.
Yes, yeah, it's her mother was in a funeral home and Headlock North and we did it extraordinary tastefully.
They had a room like a little in the in this big building they had there's room they had there was like little houses in there.
Yeah. So if you go into a ring a room like that and it's a kitchen off thee and where in a beef and where fate was?
Yeah, because god, I don't know if you're interfunerals in Auckland, but the bloody awful you know that they're just.
You know, yes, it's awful.
In the interview, Polkinghorn would trail off and not answer questions. One he couldn't answer was at the end, how did he come to suffer the wound on his forehead. That added to the suspicions of the detectives.
I don't know, I said, I don't even know I've done it. Ruth said, I may have hit the tiles or something on the steat. I can't measure. It's horizontal, and that's horizontal, which is odd.
I've got no idea. I didn't even know head it until some signory or bleeding looking at But.
The trial continues tomorrow. You can listen to episodes of Accused the polking Horn Trial through the Front Page podcast or find it on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts.
