is this a plot hole? spoiler alert
spoiler alert, please stop reading if u care.
other threads mentioned that how ted knew for sure that nunally would be his hostage officer, and the answer would be that ted made a phone call to police station that afternoon and was told that nunally would be on duty from 6pm, u can argue that ted probably was counting on no other hostage happened at the same time in the neighborhood that nunally was in charge and he was the only one on duty.
my question is slightly different, from the witness in the courtroom, we know that ted got home about 4pm that day, jennifer 5pm, the shooting happened almost right after jennifer got home, and i kinda remember that an officer in court also said that his team arrived at the scene at about 5:18? so it happened well before 6pm, how was ted sure that nunally would show up? since nunally did show up, does it mean that the police waited for at least 40 mins for nunally instead of the hostage officer who was on duty before 6pm?
