CONVERSATION START
[Polite] We need your help to solve a crime. Were you on 3rd Street last night?
Yeah, I was coming home from a bar.
[Neutral] What were you doing on 3rd Street last night?
Getting drunk, what's it to you?
[Direct] We think you were involved in the shooting on 3rd Street last night.
Hey, no way! Violence is not my thing, man.
[Accusatory] Keane got shot last night. We know you did it, so start talking.
That's garbage, and I'm saying nothing.
DEMAND AN ALIBI
[Sarcastic] Oh, yeah, you're a model citizen. You got an alibi?
I was in a bar, OK?
[Accusatory] That's not what your police record says. Where were you?
Look, I was in a bar. 9 to midnight.
NAME OF BAR
[Polite] That's good, we'll need the name of the bar.
I was in Foley's from 9 until midnight.
[Neutral] Yeah? What bar were you in?
Foley's. I'm there every night.
[Direct] You better not be lying. What's the name of the bar?
I ain't lying. It was Foley's Bar.
[Accusatory] You weren't in any bar, you were in the alley shooting Keane.
No I wasn't, and you've got nothing.
TIME OF BAR VISIT
[Polite] Can you tell us what time you were there, please?
Got there around 9, left around midnight.
[Neutral] When did you get there, and how long did you stay?
Got there around 9, left around midnight.
[Direct] You better hope Foley backs you up. When were you there?
9 to midnight. He'll remember me all right.
[Accusatory] So tell me some lies about when you were there.
Forget it. I want a lawyer.
END
ASK ABOUT EVIDENCE
Did you hear any shots around that time?
No, no shots. I'd remember shots.
We're trying to trace a tall man in jogging clothes. Did you see him?
Not that I remember.
When you came out, did you see a blue car go by?
Yeah… going real fast! A sports car.
That's all we want to know for now.
Good, 'cause I got places to be, you know?
END
ABOUT THE CAR
Did you catch a look at the license plate?
What, I got a photographic memory? No.
Do you remember the model? Foreign, domestic?
Maybe a Porsche. I'm not a car guy.
Did you see the driver?
It was a man. That's all I can say.
FOLLOW - UP
I've got another question about the car.
Fire away.
I need to ask you again about your alibi.
It's not going to be any different.
All right, that'll do for now. Don't leave town.
Thanks for nothing.
END
All right, that'll do for now. Don't leave town.
Thanks for nothing.
OBSTRUCTIVE WITNESS
[Direct] You're the prime suspect, unless you convince us otherwise.
Yeah, well I was in Foley's bar.
[Threatening] If you know who did it, you better talk or we'll charge you.
Fine, charge me. I want a lawyer.
