Realistically: Can we actually believe Fredo when he said, "I swear to God, Mike, I didn't know it was gonna be a hit"? What did he open the curtains for--so Johnny Ola could peep at Kay getting undressed?
I do.
I base my belief on
1) Fredo's behavior earlier in the day at the party. He didn't seem to be acting like someone who knew that he was about to be responsible for the assassination of his brother.
2) The emotion Fredo displays when he tells Michael that he didn't know it was gonna be a hit.
3) The alternate script, in which Fredo was led to believe it would be a kidnapping.
