AE might believe that RH brought prostitutes to their home where they could have picked up her hair. She might not be factoring in the chances of so many of them being found dead. She might believe that a mixup could occur or that her husband could have been framed.
IMO she does not enjoy the public attention at all but finds it a necessary means to improve her family's dire financial situation. Her attorney is just doing his job. So far she has not been accused of anything by police so it's not too hard to defend her.
I have no reason believe she is in a dire financial situation. At the very least she has brought in $1,075,000 in the last year.
I guess it's possible she doesn't enjoy attention, but she is clearly choosing it. Or at least she has in the past. Her lawyers antics on her behalf have calmed down for the most part. He theoretically works for her, and in theory, she can tell him to stop doing TV.
Spota, a disgraced power broker in Suffolk County who's incarcerated, pulled strings for Macedonio to get his license to practice law after cocaine and bribery charges. Spota was part of the cabal that tried to prevent solving LISK. Now, someone who owes Spota a favor materialized to theoretically represent Asa, but instead he is just publicly defending Rex. "Asa doesn't see it." Give me a break. That is for Rex's benefit. And Asa could stop it.
MOO
Edited to add: I don't think at all that Rex has been framed. I think he has been identified and investigated during a period that corruption was tamped down, and the real investigation by the task force assembled by Rodney Harrison could get to work. Suffolk is a rough town, and unfortunately framing is not as unlikely a theory there as in other municipalities.
There are still people who wish things weren't so stirred up. One way to do damage control is pin things on a suspect and tell the public the case is solved. It would not be too surprising if Spota and company orchestrated something like framing a suspect, although I don't think that happened to Rex.
But guess what? The people who swept in to represent Asa and her family are the very people who would do a frame job like that. So, if he were framed, and I am not saying so, it would be by Asa's attorney's friends.
I am so thankful for Rodney Harrison's incredible work in bringing together the task force. It wasn't easy to persuade the FBI to come back to Suffolk! But he did it. And now, like any great leader, he created a task force that continues to work even in his absence.
MOO
