Zinzi and Bolden, testifying with second- and third-hand information, both have an obvious self-interest, which strongly suggests that they cannot be objective or unbiased witnesses. This demonstrates not only the manner in which the trial swirls with lies, half-truths, and compromised witnesses (making it a poor tool for unveiling the truth of Mr. Nesbitt’s murder), but also suggests that the trial may be based on potentially faulty information, which would lead to an utterly unjust outcome for Steve.
