Quote context

[...]

- You saw it?

- Well, not saw, heard. Heard. I heard the brakes.

- And I got to the window and saw them carry the body to the other side... of the Josef, the Josef... Emperor Josef statue.

- Why didn't they bring him in the house?

- Could he have been conscious?

- Conscious?

- Was he still alive?

- Ah, alive! He couldn't have been alive, not with his head in the way it was.

- I was told that he did not die at once.

- He was quite dead.

- He was... Oh, yeah. He was quite dead. He was quite dead.

- But this sounds crazy. If he was killed at once, how could he have talked about me and this lady here after he was dead?

- Why didn't you say all this at the inquest?

- It's better not to be mixed up in things like this.

- Things like what?

- I was not the only one who did not give evidence.

- Who else?
