I think this will be last time ill address this call for now (long sigh of relief from others)
I believe she made up that phone call along with the detailed conversation to make her readers feel like it was a totally justified call to mom, make seem like the prosecutor was ridiculous for making a big deal out it. Knowing her most of her readers won't know the case evidence.
The 12:47 call for sure happened, I don't know what was discussed but it could not have been the conversation AK described.
My mind has not swayed one bit.
Amber, you are not illogical in your thinking. ITA with everything you said regarding the call and her newest claims in her book.
Most readers of her book don't know the evidence in the case, it's just like with Kate McCann. They can say whatever they want in their book, change whatever things don't make sense so that they make perfect sense. Do-over, if you will. After they've had time to guage "normal people" reactions, then they change their stories to fit in with what innocent people would have done in the same situation.
If Amanda had, in court, said :well as I was walking back to Raffaele's, well, I called my mom because I was kind of panicking about these things in the cottage....," don't think for a minute that she would have gotten away with that in court, where people actually know the evidence. They would have said, but the first call to your mother was recorded at 12:47pm, so how could that have been when you were walking back to Raffaele's?
Ouch. Caught in a lie.
Is it any wonder she went with the "I don't remember" line?
Is there anyone there to cross-examine her in her own book? No.
She can say whatever she wants, paint whatever picture, do a do-over.
The evidence is all there in this case. She knows she can't change that. It's already been recorded, it's part of the case, and it's there.
So what do you think is more important to he now? Trying to change something she can't change? Or trying to drum up more public support, in an effort to negate whatever ultimate ruling the court gives. And in the process making millions of dollars.
Her book and its effect on readers is more important to her than facts of the case, which she knows she can't change.
