When the DNA results came back, even Lukis Anderson thought he might have committed the murder.
當DNA檢測結果出來時，就連盧基斯·安德森都認為他可能是兇手。
"I drink a lot," he told public defender Kelley Kulick as they sat in an interview room at the jail in Santa Clara County, California.
他在加州圣克拉拉縣監獄的一間采訪室里對公設辯護律師凱利·庫利克說，“我喝了很多酒，”
Sometimes he blacked out, so it was possible he had done something he didn't remember. "Maybe I did do it." Kulick shushed him.
有時候他會昏過去。所以他做過一些他不記得的事情是有可能的?！耙苍S是我做的?！睅炖藝u了他。
"Lukis, shut up," she said. If she was going to keep her new client off death row, he couldn't go around saying things like that.
她說，“盧基斯，閉嘴?！比绻幌胱屗男驴蛻暨M死囚區的話，那盧基斯不能到處說那樣的話。
But she agreed. It looked bad. "Let's just work through the evidence to really see what happened."
但是她同意了?？雌饋砗茉恪！白屛覀冄芯肯伦C據，來看看到底發生了什么?！?/div>
Before he was charged with murder, Anderson had been a 26-year-old homeless alcoholic with a long rap sheet who spent his days hustling for change in San Jose.
安德森在被控謀殺之前，是一個26歲的無家可歸的酒鬼，有很長的前科，每天都在圣何塞為改變而奔波。
The murder victim, Raveesh Kumra, was a 66-year-old investor who lived in Monte Sereno, a Silicon Valley enclave ten miles and many socioeconomic rungs away.
謀殺案的受害者拉維什·庫姆拉是一位66歲的投資者，住在硅谷方圓10英里的塞利諾山，那里有很多社會經濟階層。
Around midnight on November 29, 2012, three men broke into Raveesh's 7,000-square-foot mansion.
大約在2012年11月29日的午夜，三個人闖進了拉維什的7000平方英尺的豪宅。
They found him watching CNN in the living room, tied him up, blindfolded him, and gagged him with duct tape decorated with pictures of mustaches.
他們發現他正在客廳觀看CNN的節目，就把他綁了起來，蒙上眼睛。用裝飾著胡子圖片的膠帶堵住了他的嘴。
They found his ex-wife, Harinder Kumra, asleep upstairs, hit her on the mouth, blindfolded her, and tied her up next to Raveesh down in the kitchen.
他們發現他的前妻哈林德爾·庫姆拉在樓上睡覺，就按住了她的嘴，蒙上她的眼睛，把她綁在拉維什旁邊的廚房里。
Then they rummaged for cash and jewelry. After the men left, Harinder, still blindfolded, felt her way to a phone and called 911.
然后他們翻找了現金和珠寶。在這些人離開后，仍然蒙著眼睛的哈林德爾摸索著走向一個電話，打了911。
Police arrived, then an ambulance. One of the paramedics declared Raveesh dead.
警察來了，然后救護車也來了。其中一個醫務人員宣布拉維什已經死亡。
The coroner would later conclude that he had been suffocated by the mustache duct tape. Three and a half weeks later, the police arrested Anderson.
驗尸官后來得出結論，他是因膠帶窒息而死。三個半星期后，警察逮捕了安德森。
His DNA had been found on Raveesh's finger-nails, suggesting that Raveesh had struggled as the intruders tied him up.
警方在拉維什的指甲上發現了安德森的DNA，這說明了在闖入者綁拉維什的時候，他有過掙扎。
Anderson was charged with murder. Kulick was appointed to his case. Anderson tried to make sense of a crime he had no memory of committing.
安德森因謀殺罪被起訴。庫利克被任命處理他的案件。安德森試圖弄明白他不記得犯過的罪行。
"Nah, nah, nah. I don't do things like that," he said. "But maybe I did."
他說，“沒有，沒有，沒有。我不會做這樣的事情的，但是也許我做過。
Months would pass before anyone figured out what had really happened, which was that Lukis Anderson's DNA had found its way onto the fingernails of a dead man he had never even met.
幾個月過去了，才有人弄清楚到底發生了什么，那就是盧克斯·安德森的DNA出現在一個他從未見過的死人的指甲上。
