That's fine. Illogical that statement may or may not be.
But the very fact that we have those two factors present is remarkable in itself, which is my point.
We have to rely on some incredible odds to explain the factors present - the really unreliable EVRD / DNA evidence that no court in the world would uphold - worse case, couple with the main protagonist giving two disparate accounts of the last time he saw his daughter alive - the most profound moment of his life is not etched in to his soul?
And I use the same quantification to couple together other inexplicable elements.
I can do all of this with impunity because Davel is on a sabbatical and can't rip me to shreds. When he's back I'll scuttle off back in to my sangar, MP5 on knee, made ready, safety on.
What incredible odds? Have you calculated them? “Man corrects initial statement regarding which door he gained entry to apartment” coupled with “cadaver dog alerts to places in apartment the man is known to have been two months earlier”. What would you calculate the odds at of a suspect admitting to a murder and a cadaver dog alerting to the places where the suspect said the murders took place, but the suspect was lying and he actually murdered no one at all?
