I’m wondering if this is “new testimony” or if QL confessed this early on? Since early sheriff’s report said QL’s truck did not hit her, no evidence etc., I’m wondering if this is a new set-up for defense. “He accidentally hit her, she died, he panicked, tried to hide the tragedy by burying her...” Of course he’d still have to answer when prosecution asks him about the rape. Maybe this is how the QL defense team will try to get out of DP or LWOP. All conjecture- just puzzled by conflicting reports.
