He lied about many things and then conveniently 'forgot' when it was time to answer in his own civil suit.
Those with nothing to hide, hide nothing.
Hillary got away with murder (IMO) because there wasn't enough evidence to go past reasonable doubt. The judge may also believe this guy killed the 12 yr old, but he could only rule based on whether the state met its burden.
Did you realize that when the neighbor knocked on the door, she heard the killer engage the lock-while she was standing there. That was at about 5:07. Then the first responding officer reported 3 separate instances of hearing soft footsteps inside the apartment while he was waiting for the landlord to arrive with a key. Those times were at 5:16, 5:24 and about 5:35. Obviously the killer was in the apartment prior to 5:07 and escaped right before the police and landlord entered at 5:37.
Hillary and his daughter claim he was home during the first two reports of sounds at 5:07 and 5:16. But, it's not far-fetched to think a child would lie to protect their father. However, his second alibi witness, assistant coach Ian F, places Hillary at his house on Garden street at 5:21...then later meets up with him at Clarkson just prior to 5:30, where they remained for several hours, until after practice. Does it make any sense at all that his assistant coach would lie about this? He had zero motive to protect a child murderer, friend or not. During his first round of questioning, Ian had no knowledge of what specific evidence or surveillance the police might have of Nick. Why would he risk being charged with perjury, or obstruction of justice so his boss and friend could successfully get away with murder? He would have to a horrible human being, willing to go to jail, to protect the worst kind of criminal. It's not logical. Furthermore, Clarkson security cameras probably caught Nick arriving at 5:30. If footage showed him arriving any later, the prosecution would have brought it up at trial. They never questioned this. The final footsteps were at 5:35 when he was already across town.
