Renee Martin: Okay, all I'm saying Joe is, is whatever the truth is, if the truth is the truth, then your lawyer is going to be able to prove, okay, hypothetically, and I'm saying this on my part, if you were in PA, there's got to be some trail of you being there, okay? Mind you, you have a guy at a hotel saying that you checked in there with your driver's license, okay? Did you go to get anything to eat? Did you go anyplace else? Is there anybody else who saw you? Did Harlow have appointments while you were there? Did you have appointments while you were there? There has got to be a trial, okay?
Joseph Kerekes: Well, he didn't make a copy of the driver's license.
Renee Martin: Oh, okay, whether he did or he didn't, I am just saying, okay, now like I was telling you earlier, they have three scenarios, okay? Either you and Harlow were there with Brent Corrigan Brent Corrigan was there with Harlow and Roy Grant or Roy Grant and ah, Brent Corrigan were there with you, so they're basically saying that there were three people...
