My opinion only - If your mother, sister, daughter, friend was viciously killed by someone and that person's wife chose to lie to protect the killer, would you have empathy? Would it matter to you if this killer's wife suffered previous hardship? There is a pattern by AW of putting her family, her children and others behind a blind loyalty to a man. What mother, daughter, sister, friend does this? What decent human being cries with a grieving family, looks into the eyes of grieving babies and then CHOOSES to lie to cover for the suspected murderer? If she really believes that her husband had nothing to do with the crime then why not tell the truth and let fact, not fiction, determine the outcome. We have all suffered hardship, losses - some more than others, some more horrific than others. Decent and honorable people don't use hardship and losses to lie for a murderer. Lie. For. A. Murderer. I hope AW reads these posts and understands that the only way to redeem herself, to do the just and decent thing, is to pick up the phone and call the detectives and tell them everything she knows about CWW's trip before, during and after. People do not judge you based on the mistakes you make. They judge you on how you CHOOSE to conduct yourself following the mistake.
