Ynez cooks for him, drives him, sits with him, knows his medications, and calls him jefe. When I asked him about the trust he said, with total clarity, “My kids will get the money and put it in a fund.

She’ll get the house and live in it. That’s not a hard decision, is it?”

That is a competent man making a defensible choice.

It is also true that Ynez Bracamontes was in the house when the lawyer came, that she drove him to the appointment, that she is the person who tells him what day it is, and that she stands to receive a great deal of what he has.

None of those things are crimes and all of them are, in my professional vocabulary, indicators.

Both. It is always both. That’s the entire job and nobody tells you that in the orientation.
