She came to me with the plan. And what did Mrs. Ralston suggest? She would tell Alan she'd been mugged. Would force him to buy a gun. Was there more to the plan? Yes. She told me I would have to shoot her, too. I said, "What?" She said, "I would shoot her after she shot him." On the night of the shootings, did the plan go awry? I was supposed to be there before she shot Alan. But he saw the gun in her hand, so she had to shoot him before he came into the stairwell. Who shot Mrs. Ralston? I did. Is this gun, marked People's Exhibit 26, the one you used the night of the shootings? Yes. Now, Mr. Himes, please tell the jury what happened after Mrs. Ralston talked to the police at the Hampstead Hotel. She called me. Janet called me from a payphone. Told me I was going to be arrested. I should go along with it. I said she was going to hang us both. What were her exact words? She said, "You dumb son of a bitch." You'll get manslaughter, too. Minimum sentence, out in a third. Less than 2 years. We'll have each other. She said. And the money. Has the jury reached a verdict? We have, Your Honor. Will the defendant please rise? On the first count of the indictment, the charge of murder in the second degree, how does the jury find? We find the defendant guilty. On the second count of the indictment, conspiracy in the first degree, how does the jury find? We find the defendant guilty.
