A: Yes I think so.
Q: OK who was driving this car?
A: Lenny was driving the white one, and I was driving the silver one.
Q: OK so when you met in Clover, uh what did you decide to do? What was the plan as far as getting over to the Neulander residence?
A: We would go in one car.
Q: OK and what car did you get in?
A: Into the silverish car.
Q: Into the silverish car that you had?
A: Yeah.
Q: Who drove?
A: Uh Lenny drove.
Q: OK why did Lenny drive?
A: He knew where it was at.
Q: OK. So you drive over to the residence. Right?
A: Yes.
Q: And uh, what do you do?
A: Well Lenny goes inside, I was hanging outside the house.
Q: Where did you first of all, when you got there, where did you park?
A: I was parked on the side, on the side street.
Q: OK so you didn't park right in front of the house like you did the first time?
A: Uh uh. Uh uh.
Q: You parked on the side street?
A: Yeah.
Q: How far was the side street from the house?
A: More than thirty feet. I'm just saying ...
Q: Was it around the corner?
A: Like around the corner, yeah.
Q: OK, so you park here, and uh, how do you know Mrs. Neulander's home?
A: We seen her car there.
Q: OK. Lights on in the house?
A: Yeah, lights on in the house.
Q: OK. Then what happens?
A: Uh Lenny goes inside, and I wait on the side of the house. Next thing you know, Lenny came out saying that he hit her with a pipe. And uh, to go in there and hit her. So I went in there and I hit her twice and ... and right when I saw her the first time I knew that she was dead. And I just hit her to make sure. And then after that we both just leaved real fast and go back to the car. He leave me at Clover. He dropped me off. I go pick up Julie and he goes somewhere, I don't remember where he said he was going.
