21. SUM OF SMOLAREK - 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 None of Smolarek’s sketchy bullet evidence matters much to Mandi Jackson. Because she admitted Scott Love shot James Mulrenin in the back of the leg, and she had nothing to do with it. Scott was angry at Mandi also. But there are two items where Smolarek’s shady schemes to contrive evidence are relevant to Mandi. The first is the gun photographed in a drawer in her room with a pink bra. If Mandi hid the gun in her drawer, it could suggest she is willing to conspire with Scott Love in murder. Or she is at least an accessory after the fact, when she tried to placate Scott and salvage her life as she knew it. Photographs which suggest Mandi hid a gun in her drawer must be considered in light of the extent to which other key items of evidence were, at the very least, relocated at each scene. There is also a pattern from Scott Love trying to evade responsibility, by saying only Mandi was in there that night. Love suggested in his police interview that Mandi was a stripper who would know James Mulrenin, while he did not. Love said it was Mandi on the Walmart video, and not him. Love likely stayed after Mandi ran out, and likely tried to fmd the bullet and wipe the blood from the shot, but left the duct tape which I believe Mandi handled, and then left separately. Scott Love once crashed a car and told his girlfriend to say she did it. She got arrested for filing a false police report. Another time Love got arrested in the Walmart parking lot with a cart full of stuff that hadn't been paid for. He told police his girlfriend put it all in there, when video showed otherwise. I think Scott Love put the gun in Mandi's drawer, and coerced Mandi to promise she would say she shot Mulrenin in self-defense. Because that story worked when a girl shot Love’s male friend in another case in Orlando. Mandi never came anywhere close to fulfilling that promise, during her police interview. Though Mandi did once tell me on the jail phone about a girl at the jail church who said "she also gave her life for her boyfriend." So Mandi at least perceived what she was doing as sacrificing herself to benefit Scott Love. But there is a surprising and undeniable pattern from police, who are willing to play around with evidence, to tell the story they want to tell. When Smolarek transitions from wide-angle photos, to focus photos, to handling and arranging the evidence to contrive her little storyboards, it is far from proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Mandi knew there was a gun positioned partially under her pink bra. Smolarek could have found the gun in a drawer of men's clothes, or somewhere else entirely, but wanted to tie Mandi to the crime. I have proven to you that Smolarek is a liar and stager of evidence. There are also the bloody gloves which were supposedly in Mandi's car. I have shown that is a total and undisputable scam, by Smolarek, to place Scott Love inside the apartment. But the three loose gloves were supposedly in a trash bag, not touching a pink bra. Scott Love and not Alison Smolarek could have left them in Mandi's car, without Mandi knowing. Though that just strikes me as unlikely he would do that. Maybe Mulrenin himself wore the gloves tending to his own wound. Why would Love bring out gloves Mandi or Mulrenin wore and plant them in a trash bag in her car, but leave the duct tape and cable ties? Maybe Scott saw the gloves as evidence Mulrenin was shot, so he brought them out. The folded rug is defmitely Love trying to get rid of evidence. I challenge anyone to cause an area rug to be pulled from under a sofa and become folded up like the one photographed, through any type of "struggle." It makes sense that Mandi might wear the gloves out, which she was wearing while tending to Mulrenin’s wound, and then have no reason to dispose of them because she had no consciousness of guilt. She believed everything, including Mulrenin going over the balcony, had an innocent explanation for her. But then why would she pick up and carry out the third torn glove, but leave the fmgertip and the cable ties and the duct tape? The f1ngertip came from trying to take off the glove while still in the apartment. Could Scott have put on those gloves to clean up the apartment, without Mandi knowing or being a willing accomplice? I don’t think he could tear one glove on duct tape, and leave a fmgertip from another on the floor when he has experience taking off gloves, just wiping blood. And why would he clean the scene and carry his gloves out, III - 69
