"I don’t know when that footprint was placed there" Gurka said. "Maybe Mr. Wafer climbed on his air conditioner to look at his gutters."

Defense: or maybe there was a second person trying to gain entry in the back of the house. Did you ever think of that.

Gurka: then that’s the person Mr. Wafer should have shot. He doesn't have any info that other people were outside the home, he said.
