KNOXIVLLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Prosecutors have nearly finished presenting their case against accused killer George Thomas. He's the third defendant to stand trial for the the carjacking, kidnapping rape and murder of Channon Christian, 21, and Christopher Newsom, 23.

Jurors heard Thomas' police interrogation Friday, but it's what Thomas said after the tapes stopped rolling that, prosecutors say, really helps prove that Thomas is criminally responsible for these crimes.

Prosecutors have called it George Thomas' motive, an alleged off-mic statement prosecutors said showed the accused killer's attitude toward Christian and Newsom.

"I said don't you wished you'd have called someone?" Detective Nevil Norman testified. "He turned around and looked at me and said, 'F*** that white girl. She didn't mean anything to me. You cops come into our neighborhoods and kills us, so why should I get involved in something that doesn't matter to me.' "

However, that's not exactly what Detective Norman previously reported he heard Thomas say.

"Check your notes," Prosecutor Leland Price said. "You said it doesn't matter to me?"

"(Thomas says)'It's none of my business,' (not that it doesn't matter), Norman says, correcting himself.

Norman said the statement came after Thomas' taped interrogation ended, but he he didn't write it down until 17 months later

"I just didn't do it," Norman says, as an explanation.

Defense attorney Thomas Dillard fought against the statement even being used in court.

"Was anyone in the room besides you and Mr. Thomas?" Dillard asked.

"Just he and I," Norman said.

Dillard drilled on Norman's slip-up on the stand, questioning the investigator's credibility.

"Sitting here this morning, during direct examination, you didn't quote it correctly did you?" Dillard pointed out.

"No sir."

But Norman testified that he still's confident that what he heard and later wrote was correct.

Earlier in the day Friday, the defense actually asked for a mistrial, after a federal agent implied that Thomas might have a prior criminal record in Kentucky, where he was arrested.

The judge said no real damage had been done, and the agent clarified his statement for the jury, saying Thomas had no record.

The prosecution is expected to rest it's case Saturday.
