Yet if someone mentions Bernell, nothing.
His compete silence on the matter even when directly confronted with it is extremely out of character.
That’s compelling in this case, but still circumstantial.
Perhaps this is the reason for Fatrick’s increasing insanity?
Obviously paying Quasi and facing the fact that he is a shit unpublishable writer, moron, being reminded about his first wife and former best friend cucking him, then his failure as a father, are major catalysts, but if he was having to keep sctum about murdering Trammel on top of this, it would be far more than his piggy ego could take?
Most normal people would be shattered by such a cacophony of failure, humiliation and realization, but Fatrick has a narcissistic ego as fat as he is to protect himself.
But doing what he would consider a heroic act like this and not being able to be openly proud of it, as even he realizes that it is murder and he would be enjoying prison if he says anything.
It could be eating him inside, not guilt, frustration at having to keep quiet.
Hence he can’t even risk acknowledging it.
I'd argue the ex-wife over PCJ, because he's already threatened to kill her and attacking a woman is far more in character with Patty.
It’s theoretically more feasible that Fatrick’s piggy brain could construct a half baked plan to set it up to look like self defense or something with a chance of him getting away with it if it was John.
I agree he probably wants to kill her more, but even he realizes that as her ex husband and having previously threatened to kill her, he would be suspect number one.
He would have to have the most rigid of cast iron alibis, and he knows Niki would give him up one way or the other.
