I Can't Explain
I know things look bad. I can explain the blood. I was playing with my dog and he scratched me pretty bad. He can be rough.
What about the witness who saw you going into the house?
I was just dropping off the divorce papers. They should be in the filing cabinet.

Someone's trying to frame me.
Very good. That just leaves the matter of the security camera. How do you explain that someone who looks remarkably like you was recorded beating your ex to death with a field hockey stick?
