Someone could have walked in 402 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,100 through the woods. 403 00:29:32,300 --> 00:29:37,800 In fact, Warren Coates' house, the back of it, is right on the woods, isn't it? 404 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:39,720 Yes. 405 00:29:40,060 --> 00:29:46,800 Now, you've testified that the night of the murder, you 406 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,620 were watching TV in the guard shack.
