(about Richard Lawson) If this guy's a successful real-estate agent, what's he doing breaking into Sam Harding's penthouse?
Well, before he died, Harding set up a trust to take care of his home, keep it empty after his death. Nobody was allowed to go inside, not even the building's super or maintenance man.
He wanted to hide the fact that he murdered Walter Jones and left him there to rot.
His secret and Jones' body would've remained undiscovered, except this week the rule against perpetuities went into effect.
That stops dead people from owning property forever.
Right, which means the penthouse was just about to be put up for auction by the state.
