Last time on Beyond All Repair.
There was really no connection between Shawn Karia and the victim, Marlene.
The only connection is Sophia Johnson.
There's a reason this little son of a bitch, who I happen to be related to, is up here lying.
This is a story that was concocted by Kariah to save himself from the charge of murder in the first degree.
He would do anything to save his own skin.
So I definitely don't trust his testimony at all.
He's somebody that's a manipulative, a pathological liar.
Like, he almost killed me.
I could have been his first victim.
Was there any physical evidence connecting Sophia to the crime scene?
The way that there was the drop of blood on Sean's boot?
