The Picture above is Brown's Bar which was owned by one of Zeigler's friends, Andrew James, in 1975. When Mr. James, a black man, was accused of selling drugs in his bar, Zeigler came to his aid, helping him find a lawyer and serving as a character witness. The character witness for the accuser was a circuit judge, Maurice Paul. James was not adjudicated as guilty and kept his bar. The accusers home was burned after the trial. Did Paul violate the code of conduct for judges? You  decide. Judge Paul refused to step aside as judge in Zeigler's murder trial nine months later!

This is a Picture of Tommy and Eunice Zeigler's home as it appeared in 1992. They lived next door to Tommy's parents. It was reported to the grand jury by Sheriff Detective Don Frye that he had heard rumors that Tommy's mother and his wife did not get along, that Tommy had tried to drown his father as his mother watched, that Tommy had cut off a dog's leg for a joke. These were all apparent lies for which proof was  never offered. The Zeigler's had owned a three legged dog for several years that had been hit by a car.

Perry Edwards, Tommy's father-in-law, (on the left) was shot more than once and beaten to death. One of the bullets was from a gun that Zeigler kept in his truck. Edward Williams knew where the gun was kept and that the door to the truck did not lock. Why a man with a plan to kill his wife and in-laws would use a gun that he kept in his truck was just another unexplained factoid. 

In this picture, Edward Williams truck is parked in the back enclosed lot directly in front of the loading door where it was found by police. The KFC that he went to and supposedly tried to call police (he said he got a wrong number) can be seen diagonally across from the furniture store. Charlie Mays van was parked behind the Winter Garden Inn across a six foot fence from the Zeigler back lot.
