    Lovell told police there were two handguns in his vehicle, but he said “he did not know why he would have shot his gun and could not recall any part of the shooting incident,” according to the affidavit.

    That’s some use of legal language. “I don’t recall murdering those women. I know they ended up dead, but I don’t know how. What would I have to gain?”

    This fuck presided over cases that affected peoples’ lives. Sigh…
