[And so after talking to Hal...figured this might be important.]

Sheriff Hal just confirmed that we're working with two Bandit kills and two independent kills in this trial. Russell's murder was one of the Bandit kills. One of the Bandits...specifically asked for Annabeth's killer. That's when Hal revealed to them it was Russell.

He also said the Bandits don't necessarily have to go after the same person. They just have to help each other out, and with what we know that probably means that each Bandit is responsible for one body a piece. [So. There's that? What a mess.]
