These are kids in their early twenties, and sitting in the State's Attorney's Office or the Sheriff's Department I am sure has them more frightened than they have ever been, about anything. They are not going to admit to doing or selling drugs. They know, that everything they say is going to be released publicly, that means their parents are going to find out. Worse yet, any friends or dealers they name are going to know they ratted them out, and the repercussions of that likely have their heart pounding too. You are so right, of course they are lying and I don't know why I didn't just get that from jump.
They caught Ricardo in lies about selling photos to the Globe, when they did the poly on TL, he changed his original story about waiting in the car while KC went in the house and got the gas cans to he got out, and helped her break the little lock off to get the cans out of her dad's shed, Annie started out with adamant no, never, no one I knew and eventually cried and coughed up a Sean D.'s name as someone she knew took some of her Xanax. So yes, they are scared, young and likely lying. Thanks. I like you because you are straight up, no sugar coating and no excuses. You are what this case needs. We are not at a tea party, this is a murder of a baby, no time for holding back. Love your posts!
