Whitton v. Dixon · ¶18

Whitton took the stand in his own defense. He testified that he gave a false license plate number to the motel because he was worried about being held liable for any damage that Maulden caused. He testified that he did not know how much money Maulden had withdrawn and that he received $200 from someone else around the same time. He testified that he returned to the motel late that night because a friend had told him that Maulden's mother was looking for him. And, he testified that he fed the scene after only a minute, without calling the police, because he was in shock and did not want to get involved. As to the blood in his boots, Whit- ton continued to claim that he “assume[d] that it would have gotten on the bottom of [the boots] through the holes in the bottom of them.” ECF Doc. 73–3, p. 127.
