On cross-examination, Ms. Frazier was shown a document stating that the charge against "Snake" Frazier was actually accessory before the fact of a second degree murder. She said she did not know, but she thought it was a conspiracy. She said Frazier never told her he killed anybody because he did not kill anybody, despite her awareness of his pleading guilty to accessory to murder. She said she and Frazier did not drink or do any drugs on the night of September 8, 1990, because Frazier does not like drugs. She then admitted he has a drug conviction. She said that with the exception of nine years, she had lived in Clarksville all of her life and that she had been to Port Royal.

She said she guessed they broke down on Needmore Road. She said Frazier had a work truck with some rope or chain in it, and he offered to pull the guy to the gas station. She said that due to Frazier's tree trimming business, he carried chainsaw files and everything needed to operate a tree business.
