1. “They interviewed me so much and through the whole thing what came out of whose mouth wasn’t that clear to me to this day. I’m not saying I was lying, but through all of what came out of whose mouth I had to try to remember got twisted I think from my statement. I had to stick to certain things and remember it so I thought it was the truth.... Things would go on paper and I was asked to remember key things[.] It really was just too much it really confuted] me.”

2. “This “extra-Summary” testimony demonstrates that Moses’ recollection of the events surrounding the murder went beyond the conversations represented in the Summary, and Moses’ recollection of many details — the pattern on the soles of appellant’s shoes, his description of the bag and the bloody clothes it contained, and his statements regarding the size of appellant’s shoes — were all corroborated by Dean’s testimony and incriminated appellant.”
