Just wondered that seeing as Brett Partridge is apparently dead, if this was all fake and he was to come back in episode 8 as Red John. Patrick then kills him, would Patrick get prosecuted for killing a man that was already apparently dead and is this the reason why he didn't linger at his crime scene as he already knew Brett was Red John so was trying to go along with his game in order to keep his team in the dark.
How do you find this theory?
plausible
unlikely
