Double Indemnity

It’s hard to tell what happened here (unless you watch the movie). But, we’ve got a dead guy and someone did it….

Her attorney: Walt murdered my client’s husband in hopes of a relationship with my client, all without my client’s knowledge. My client’s only dealing with Walt was completely professional. He was the family’s insurance agent. However, she has since cancelled all policies with his company.
Or
Walt’s Bartender: Ol’ Walt offed this dame’s husband after he fell in love with her. Walt always liked the ladies, didn’t he?
Or
Walt’s Dad: That conniving woman fell in love with the boy and then convinced him to kill her husband. Walt was always a sucker for a pretty face.
Or
Walt’s Mother: That hussy framed poor old Walter by pretending to love him all while murdering her own husband. Walter has such a kind heart, always wanting to help out. He couldn’t have done this.
Or
Walt’s Attorney: My client was the public library all day on the day of the murder, except when he stepped out for his lunch break at the soup kitchen he volunteers in on a regular basis. It is obvious that the woman did it for the money. My client is an honest insurance agent and was completely unaware of this woman’s plot to kill her husband when he sold her the huge life insurance policy. The relationship between the two of them is not relevant to the case.

He said, she said...
