I will give you multiple choices. It is just a guess. Add something if I am wrong.
a) He was nervous
b) He originally said he cut her hair and was afraid of how the investigators would react if he changed his answer.
c) He had no involvement and everything was a guess. When they liked his honest answer, they were nice. When they said he was lying, he guessed something different until they were pleased and would move on to something else.
d) He thought about the whole situation, and realized that he never cut her hair. There was just so much commotion this being his first sexual experience (and in front of his uncle) and the knifing and murder and burning the body and cleaning the garage, that he needed time to gather his thoughts. He wasn't mentally prepared to be interrogated for multiple hours.
Now at his trial, Investigator Wiegart testifies that he believes BD cut her hair. Even though he did not find one single fiber of the victim's hair anywhere where he alleges the crime occurred. They also checked the vacuum cleaners and did not make any matches.
Did BD cut her hair?
Does the investigator really believe that BD cut her hair? Why would't he say he had no idea really. Isn't that the truth? Or just answer no. There is no evidence of any hair and that answer would match with BDs final answer. We would feel more confident with his confession. Evidence = answers.
I know you see it as a trivial in the realm of when someone is raped, knifed, shot and burned, who cares if her hair was cut off or not.
What is not trivial is if this minor piece of his alleged involvement is found completely false, why wouldn't it be fair to think that everything else could be false too.
And if you really believe this is trivial, why do you think they asked him so many times if he cut her hair? Why did that matter to them so much if it is trivial?
