So, did Brazilian soccer player Bruno Fernandesorder his girlfriend to be murdered back in 2010—or not? The former Flamenco goalkeeper says he did not commit the crime that he was accused of committing back in July 2010. But, yesterday, he took the stand during his murder trial in Brazil and offered up some pretty bizarre testimony in which he said that he was not "the one who ordered" the murder of Eliza Samudio—a model who was pregnant with Bruno's child at the time—while at the same time admitting that he knew about her death. He also said that he feels "guilty" about Samudio's murder, while simultaneously denying any wrongdoing in the case. His testimony wasn't necessarily damning. But, it does seem to indicate that he wasn't completely in the dark with regards to Samudio's death. What's the verdict?
