Question: When Sidney's mother was murdered, Sidney testified about seeing Cotton leave the house in a bloody coat. Gale believed that someone else wore the coat and put it in Cotton's car, framing him. Billy and Stu were the real killers, so what did Cotton actually do that night? Drive away without noticing a blood-covered coat in the car?

Answer: I've always thought that Billy and/or Stu planted the bloody coat after Cotton had exited his car. So that is why he never noticed his bloody coat before it was found by the police.

I agree, except I think the coat never actually belonged to Cotton in the first place. It was Billy's or Stu's. Sidney saw one of them leaving the house in it (mistaking them for Cotton) and they planted it in his car later. When the police found it, he probably couldn't prove that it was not his.
