In 'Brotherly Love', I don't see how Maggie Harvey could have killed the second prostitute (Joyce Watkins).
Two reasons:
1. We are told that Joyce's body had traces of semen, from unprotected sex shortly before her death, whose DNA matched that found on the first victim, Jane McIlvanney, who was definitely killed by Maggie's husband David.
2. At the time Joyce is killed, Maggie and brother-in-law Michael are being interrogated by Fitz at the police station, while David Harvey is already in custody. The screenplay switches between the interrogation scene, and those of Joyce's battered body tumbling down the stairs outside her apartment.
Given the evidence, that both Fitz and the police ultimately attribute the killing to Maggie makes no sense to me. I know that Maggie confesses to that effect, but then she also says that she killed Jean (which Fitz correctly reasons is to keep her husband out of prison, so their children will be left at least one parent).
Or am I missing something?
Thanks to anybody who can clarify.
