Yes, according to the defendent. Whose story is that a bullet ricocheted off the vehicle mirror and hit Carol as she was crouching behind it at the front end of the vehicle, crying out 'no, Russell, stop'.
Which was such an affecting story that, naturally, just like any normal person, he'd incinerated both the scene and the remains of the people, but now of course he's a perfectly honorable citizen, so naturally his lawyer throws a complete temper tantrum when anyone dares to cast doubt on his story. And shouts liar, liar! And of course, when he shouts that, he's not talking about the defendent. No, it's only government scientists who lie, I mean none of us who are routinely going around covering up all the people we've killed would ever (gasp!) lie, and how dare the police hint that to the jury!
