Andrea Dean: [after Jessica accuses her of committing the murder] A couple of weeks ago, Laszlo called me and asked me to make a copy of the Queen of Tara. He said he wanted to bring happiness to a woman who had known nothing but misery for the past twelve years. He paid me $2,000 for my trouble. I used inferior gems from the vault. He said, "Oh, it didn't matter. She would never know the difference." And then, when I heard about the robbery on the news the other night, I knew Laszlo was responsible. He got home only a moment or two after I got there, and he invited me in. As soon as I got inside, I saw the tiara. I demanded to know what was going on. Where was the copy? What had he gotten me into? But then there was a knock at the door, and I panicked. I grabbed the tiara and I ducked into the bedroom. It was that TV news reporter. I recognized him immediately. He wanted to come in, but Laszlo got rid of him. All I wanted to do was to get out of there, but he grabbed me. He wouldn't let me go. He was in a rage. He hit me! I was terrified for my life! I grabbed the knife. I didn't ... I didn't mean to kill him. I just wanted to return the tiara. But then, when he was dead, I knew no one would believe my story.
