Motive

Calley realised that he was in a dangerously serious predicament because he knew that a plausible motive existed for Calley wanting Ryan Brannigan dead which in the hands of a good advocate in front of a jury would have done for him - Brannigan, a loathsome sex pest had taken an obsessive fancy to Calley’s girl making brazen passes at her in the Longhorse Bar in plain view of multiple witnesses and harassing her all evening at the Saturday hoedown much to Calley’s annoyance that brought them to the brink of violence. There was no disguising the friction between the men.
