After first denying any role in the death of Sydney Loofe, then maintaining it was an accident during the filming of a sexual fantasy, Aubrey Trail spun a new story on Tuesday.
Before a hushed courtroom at his murder trial, Trail said it was all “bulls---.”
...
It was a stunning change of story for Trail, who had claimed that two women had paid him $15,000 to film a sexual fantasy with a third woman who would be choked nearly to death.
But on Tuesday, after taking the stand in his own defense, Trail gave another version.
...
Prosecutors tore into his latest account of events, saying that it changed whenever investigators uncovered new evidence in Loofe’s slaying, and that it was a reflection of his life’s work as a criminal and a con artist.
Trail himself acknowledged on the stand Tuesday that he had spent most of the past decade in prison for crimes such as forgery and passing bad checks, and had recently been convicted of scamming a Kansas couple out of nearly a half million dollars.
“Isn’t it true, Mr. Trail, that your performance today is your biggest con?” asked Doug Warner of the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office. “That you are throwing some s- — on the wall and you hope it sticks?”
Trail rejected that and said people will have to “decide what you believe.”
