Doubting Sam

I destroyed the tape and Sam threw the bloody bat into the Delaware River.
It as all over the news about the attack in the alley behind Brett’s store. The business community put up a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator.
I believed Sam that it was self defense. But in the back of my mind was the doubt. Why did Sam take the bat with him if he didn’t plan on a confrontation?
I was grateful he didn’t use a knife or gun.
