Regarding Alice Scott’s (no relation to Jeremy Scott) testimony and the subsequent discovery of her unreliability and mental health issues, Avalon appeals to the fact that these revelations were given in a newspaper article and suggested that they should not carry the same weight as a sworn testimony in court.
While she doesn’t leave Leo Schofield or his defense team any room for conjecture, Victoria Avalon freely indulges in it herself, describing reports of Leo’s “unusual” behavior following his wife’s funeral.
She continues, somewhat bizarrely, to describe conflicting accounts regarding Michelle’s car stereo, stating:
“In his motion…Defendant further claims that the stereo system was still in the car; therefore, he opines, Mr. Scott’s claim that he removed the stereo cannot be believed. Defendant appears to be resorting to what may colloquially be described as “alternative facts” in this claim, as that was resolved adversely to Defendant by the 2010 order, where Judge Spoto held that Defendant himself rendered sworn trial testimony that stereo equipment was missing from the car.”
