That is what I have said for a while now. The thing is....we did not SEE Ben kill any of the women. We DID see him strangle Will, who was not dead, tho Ben thought so. Clyde could have murdered the women, and while Ben was drugged, made him think he did it. Heck, this writer has the characters doing all kinds of impossible things..even wearing scanty clothing outside in mid-winter (they ARE in the mid-west). Death row prisoner is cell mate with man he tried to kill once, prisoners wander all over the jail. Don't you wonder how the heck Clyde & Ben even got outside? Prisons usually have tons of locked gates in the corridors, etc. Clyde has wire cutters....convenient flimsy wire fence....people get off in court for silly reasons. Even Steve is currently walking around, no pain, having had a bullet dug out of him without any sort of anesthetic. Salem is just such a magical place. Just, follow the yellow brick road!
