By creating a mystery and then bringing the audience into that mystery.

That was a big mystery, not having a motive and (the defendants) being family and all. I think that was a tragedy, I think that was a travesty, I think that was hideous. That was the worst thing that you could do to anyone, but you can't just pin that on to somebody just because of what happened.

Mike Johnson

There is something about poetry beyond prose logic, there is mystery in it, not to be explained but admired.
