I am drained of the milk of human kindness as far as the Gregor's go, I genuinely believe he meant to murder that child, what he didn't mean to happen, and neither did Pa , was that Chris would be hauled up for it, that somehow, like every time before, they had a scapegoat in place.
Breanna was meant to be up there being excoriated by the prosecutor, frowned upon by the judge, sneered at by the jury, Breanna, who had the nerve to drop them in this invidious position, Breanna ,, painted with all the colours of ignominy Mario and Pa and Mama, and Christopher could drag up from the depths of their own depravity.
Breanna had all the dignity of an Eygyptian Queen in comparison. The Gregors may have fooled themselves about themselves, but everything they all were was on display, and what a murky, sleazy, dirty picture it painted. They could not strip her dignity from her, but by god, they tried. Over and over.
Who the hell did Christopher Gregor think he was? HIs texts to Breanna read as if he thought he was Idi Amin, or some other African despot. He was only a maths teacher, for petes sake, he wasn't some Dr Salk, or a NASA boffin. He is ordinary, yet somehow, he thinks he is all the thirty kings of France rolled into one.
In reality, Gregor is just another stupid murderer. but he had backing all his life to become what he is now.
My plan is to keep vigil , work my Sydney Friday thru and hopefully hang about for a verdict. I notice there has been some very quick ones lately, Garcia, Ali, etc.. 7 hours, etc. so. ..
Thankyou to the posters who paint a word picture so concise and vivid, it's actually better than the live feed. ,
