I've given this a lot of thought, & I can't come up with a logical reason or even an illogical reason, for Tommy to blame Joe, so he can protect Ron. For what? He'll implicate himself, & blame an innocent, but not name the real killer? Now, like most of you, I think Ron's as guilty as sin...but of what, I'm not sure. But since Werter referred to Joe, by calling him skinny & happy, or some such bunk, I'm assuming Tommy is back with the 'Joe did it & forced me to help' story. Now, there may be some truth there, but I don't think Tommy's being up front about his full involvement. I'm sorry, but I'm a suspicious person by nature, & I don't trust Tommy. I too want the real perp caught, & for personal reasons,(it makes me feel low), I'm not gonna bash anybody, (anymore), just because I don't like him, her, or their lifestyles. But Tommy's own words & actions, right now, are begging for scrutiny, so I don't have a problem judging him. I think LE is probably on the right track, & if they are, I don't think that TN, GGS, etc...covered for him. Maybe he benefitted, by association, from them covering Ron's criminal lifestyle. IDK, but I do know that Tommy is scrambling, trying to salvage something for himself.
