defendants who are out on bond and talk to the people who pay for their lawyers. So Carrie just assumed I would have talked to Mandi about what happened, which I had not. Carrie said "Do YOU think she told Scott to come in there?" The obvious implication is Mandi told Carrie she did NOT tell Scott to come in there. Carrie was not playing games. She was trying get $100,000 from me and understand the case. My answer was "ABSOLUTELY not." Then Carrie asked me if Mandi approved of a guy running around with a gun. I told her what I think is probably the truth. Mandi is a stripper, she is not judgmental of guys. She takes them as they come. If a guy wears purple, she is going to say "Oh, you wear purple." If a guy is carrying a gun, she is going to say "Oh, you carry a gun." Carrie was shaking her head "Oh my God! " Mandi came into the world with wide eyes and an open mind. She does not know how the world is supposed to work. She just cares that you keep your promise to pay her for sex and don’t steal. She accepts that guys "mind-fuck themselves" and she just has to live with it. But it is possible Mandi does have an opinion, and might get angry with what I just said. Maybe she does object to guys carrying guns, I don’t know for sure. The implication of what Carrie said is Scott had a gun that night. And Carrie was trying to understand if Mandi told him to, or knew about it, or should have stopped him. Was Mandi in control of that in any way? All Mandi expected is that Scott would not come bother her while she was doing what she does with Mulrenin. Beyond that it doesn't matter, he can do what the fuck he wants. I knew right off what the real the plan at The Lofts was. Before I even read the arrest affidavit. Mandi leaves one guy waiting, while she is having sex with another guy. Over and over and over. Originally it was pimps, then it was boyfriends. She used to leave them waiting while she had sex with me. But I was gone, so on this day it was Mulrenin. I went down there and saw the Lofts was a big, formidable building with a lot of security. From the sidewalk, unit 515 seemed like a very distant and abstract place. If you left someone at the sidewalk, that would seem like a long way away, you would never think he would find his way up to unit 515. I saw there was a Denny's right before you get to The Lofts, that was open 24 hours. I figured there was a pretty good chance she left Scott there, and told him she was doing a quick drug deal or something. The same as when she left Primo at Popeyes and Burger King and Walmart. The same as when she left Chris Dahl and his friends at Publix. The same as when she told her mom and little brother to wait in the street outside their house. The same as when she left poodle boy at her mom's house, and Tywaun at Ale House. All when she met up with me to have sex for money. But looking at the original video clips provided by police, there were still two things left to explain: 1) How did Scott arrive ahead of Mandi? 2) Where was Scott inside the building all that time until the event happened? There was some empty land between Denny's and The Lofts, with a clear view of The Lofts from the Denny's back parking lot. Scott could have run across that land. If Mandi got caught on a one-way street or texted for directions, Scott would have arrived before her. So what did he do next? Did he go find the lounge and fall asleep? Was he happy to wait in there while she was having sex with another guy? It is at this point where you begin to notice problems with the video itself. The police report says Scott propped open the security door, when he entered the garage and found Mandi's car. But the original clips provided by police didn't show that. Police said Mandi brought Mulrenin into the garage so Scott could gain access to his apartment. Never mind that makes no sense. The original video clips provided by police showed Mulrenin walking into the garage alone, and it appeared Mandi was already in there. And there was no video of Scott leaving. You can see Mandi run out and drive out alone. You can see her black dress straps in the drivers seat. You can see a drink cup in the passenger cupholder that was also visible when she drove in through the gate. But her passenger seat is empty when she drives out.
