First he lurches right, crossing both lanes of the blacktop and alarming bleary-eyed commuters trying to share the road.

Police continued to give her the benefit of the doubt, at least in public; extreme stress or medication could make the test results inconclusive, they noted. But some neighbors, too, began to wonder. Catherine Frost lives across the street from Smith's tidy little brick house. She heard about the crime on the police scanner she keeps in her bedroom.
