The oral diaries of Earl Bramblett are set to be presented in what could be
the final day of evidence from the prosecution today.
Yesterday testimony hit on speculation that the Hodges family was killed as
part of a drug hit.
Now it turns out the chief suspect in the multiple murders was planting that
notion in people's minds well before the family was killed.

A next door neighbor of the Hodges testified yesterday that HE heard the
story from Bramblett a couple of months before the fire at the Hodges house.
Mark Price says Bramblett predicted the whole family would be murdered,

because Blaine Hodges was an under-cover drug agent, according to Bramblett's
prediction.
There's no evidence Blaine was ever a drug informant- though his "brother
