McCoy: Let's be clear that just because we couldn't state with certainty in this courtroom here today just what Mr. Seleeby's motive was, it doesn't mean that he didn't have one. And just because the Defense Counsel has presented you with a touching story, it doesn't mean that it's the whole story. Mr. Fenwick omitted the part about his client admitting to killing Norman Pratt. He left out the part about his client enlisting his friends to help him cover up the crime. He omitted the part about his client trying to evade the consequences of his act. Just in case anyone has forgotten, taking steroids is illegal. It's cheating. Kevin Seleeby didn't care. Why would he? After all, it isn't really cheating if you don't get caught. But this time he did get caught. He cheated at his chosen profession. He cheated at life. And now he's trying to cheat the justice system. But you have to ask yourselves. Is it really justice if it's obtained fraudulently? Can cheating become its own defense for murder?
