I don't think the whole thing seem coincidental, Juliet all emotional would not give Richard the time to convince her to go because of her ex Ed... She said the only way is if he was under a bus.. Then in the morgue or wherever they are when Richard and Ethan walk up to her she starts freaking out and I said I wanted him hit by a bus... Richards says something to the effect that this was a tragic accident, then Juliet says to him again I told u in the interview I told you in the interview, then he goes I don't even remember you saying that.... Right there he looks guilty to me!!
