Amy may have said that but Casey is not, in the least, stupid.
I get what you're saying....and, honestly, for all we know the police are thiscose to arresting DB. I just find it interesting that it's gone on this long with no arrest. It's simply my opinion that DB is either not responsible for Lisa's disappearance or she had some major help.
And for your statement about all you have to do is stick to the same lame story over and over. Hasn't DB been chastised here over and over and over and over again for changing her story too much? :crazy:
This case is beyond frustrating.
BBM. You got that right, I also find myself nodding yes to your other points.
I agree with Cityslick that it
is refreshing to get an article painting a more positive
human picture of DB, which is a mixed blessing in a way since it serves to keep me on the fence and I'm longing for a break either way to shove me off it. The thing is the more I look at many of the points people refer to as indicative of her 'guilt' the more I see them as easily explainable and thus equally indicative of her innocence.
The failed lie detector she is the distraught mother of a missing child, a combination of anxiety meds, alcohol, mixed emotions of terror for her missing child and guilt because she was drunk while her child was taken and lets not forget SHOCK, all or any of these combined could cause her to fail.
The changing statements all or a combination of the same factors that could have caused her to fail a LDT could also explain gaps in her initial accounts that were later filled in as her memory of events improved.
The defiant attitude when challenged about drinking on the job Im expecting contrition and self-flagellation which is
a normal response to a feeling of guilt in that our irresponsible actions may have contributed to a terrible incident BUT it is not the
only normal response. It is also normal, not commendable maybe but certainly human, to feel defensive when accused and to lash out in an effort to sublimate or deflect our feelings of guilt especially when we also know someone else is much MORE at fault, in this case the abductor of baby Lisa.
Puts Lisa down at 6.30 doesnt check on her again, isnt concerned about boys bedtime or getting up and ready for school she was DRUNK. Why am I expecting normal or routine behavior from a drunk? What kind of mother does that? A drunk mother. It doesnt make her MOTY, it doesnt excuse her but it does explain WHY she didnt check on Lisa and WHY she may have allowed the boys to stay up later than usual.
Wasnt worried about JI being later than expected, went to bed at the time he was expected home invited the two boys to join her despite the fact JI would be getting in the bed too again she was DRUNK not rationalizing or logical and if she really had been drinking that much was probably at the stage she just wanted to fall into bed and black out.
