Oh, and about the case. I watched HLN earlier and Mike Brooks and the other bald lawyer guy (I swear, the two of them doing the report together looked like some sort of Daddy Warbucks fan club
) ran through some basic facts about the crime, and honestly, it all sounded like they were trying to say things so angrily and forcefully as if to suggest what they were saying was B-I-G evidence. Like with such conviction saying "And she called her boss first instead of calling her husband!"
She had gotten word that her husband had been involved in an accident and to come to the daycare...why would she call her husband if she's been told, by someone else, that he had been involved in an accident?? Depending on what I was told, I'd think he couldn't answer, esp if he wasn't the one calling me in the first place. And if she was in the car on her way to the daycare, and she was supposed to be working (I don't know if she was supposed to be at work, or had been at work, or what, but...), is it really so suspicious that she'd call her boss to say "I got this call...I'm on my way to..."?
It reminds me of this case in RI where a guy was convicted of murder, and let out on bail THAT DAY (????) to await sentencing, and he and his wife disappeared that night. Their car was found on a bridge. Investigators swore that they didn't kill themselves (her skull was eventually found in a fishing net...nothing of him), and one of the things investigators kept pointing to when both were still just missing was this BIG fact (in their eyes) that their last meal before disappearing was at a MCDONALD's, and who would eat at McDonald's for their last meal if they really planned to kill themselves?
Well, you might think that, but it's surely not "evidence" of anything.
So most of what Mike Brooks and mini-Mike said sounded pretty flimsy to me...I'm not talking about what I may or may not think AS said or did...I'm talking about LEGAL evidence and it holding up in court for a conviction. But I really need to catch up with all the info in the first post before next week...there's tons I don't know. Not that HLN doesn't do a superior job relaying facts.
And apparently they haven't actually announced dropping the top charges against her, so they could still stand?
