AI Summary
5 min readA woman named Tierra is being questioned by detectives who already know she is lying. She has been brought in for an interview about a home invasion that left a woman dead. The detectives are not trying to trick her into confessing to a crime she didn't commit. Instead, they are trying to get her to stop protecting the two men who did it. The problem for Tierra is that she drove the getaway car, and the police have already pieced together the entire sequence of events from surveillance video, witness statements, and the accounts of the other suspects themselves. She is the last person to realize that the jig is up.
The Story Tierra Told First
Tierra initially gave the detectives a version of events designed to make her look like an innocent bystander. She claimed that a man she knew only as "Jason" asked to borrow her car in the middle of the night. She said she woke up later to find the car returned, and that she had no idea what he had done with it. When a strange woman knocked on her door early that morning saying "your people's been shot," Tierra claimed she was confused. She said she then helped load her wounded cousin, Jason Ward, into the woman's car to go to the hospital.
