Buying Favors

(Well as you can see there were errors as I attempted to publish the previous posts (thunk). I won't attempt to correct the record. Let it stand.)

Kelso did not answer the question. In fact Kelso just stood there for several seconds saying nothing. Kelso then changed the subject. I was watching Kelso's face as I asked the question and I have to admit that the expression on Kelso's face never changed. It was as if he had not heard the question.

Kelso may have been expecting the question and as a result may have been prepared for it. Not so in the case of detective Paul Goodman (pJ). Some years ago in an interview with Goodman he suggested that I speak with an Arapahoe County psychiatrist. His suggestion was in connection with the current case. I had had some unfortunate encounters with 'psychological professionals' in the past, and so I had replied to Goodman that I could not trust such a person because 'Gerash would buy him.'

The resulting look on Goodman's face convinced me that detective Paul E Goodman himself had already been 'bought' by the multimillionaire lawyer Walter L Gerash.
