[Susan waits for a lull in the conversation before she speaks once more to the crowd.]
I am, of course, a suspect, and as with the others, if you have any questions concerning my whereabouts, I would be happy to answer.
But until the others have returned with their findings concerning the wire and the chair, it may be worthwhile to consider another aspect of the crime. That is to say, motive. As I see it, we need to account for two aspects: the motive for choosing to kill and the motive for choosing the victim specifically. Concerning the former, there are several possibilities - a desire to obtain early immunity before the house is fully on guard, a fear of the loss of the memory they threaten us with, or perhaps even simply out of enjoyment of the game.
As for Lydia, there have been concerns that her abilities as a banshee may come into play, but I'm inclined to believe it was a crime of opportunity. Even this, then, would reveal something about the personality of the murderer.
In any case, we should at least speak a few words about the memory that was lost. We'll doubtlessly be lying out of our teeth, but that is, after all, what trials are for. I believe the term is 'cross-examination'.
