In case it has not become apparent by now, I DO HAVE THICK SKIN and will not be deterred by ANYONE. That was my point. I have many members private messaging me stating they don't like what they see others post about me. Some of the posts were removed before I saw them. I am here for the truth. Nothing more, nothing less. I see a lot of misinformation here that I don't even bother to correct because I don't want to argue with every false thing I see reported here. Everyone has a right to free speech. I just chuckle and move along. It does make for good reading though.
Some things are just so ridiculous that I see posted that I have to comment on them. Such as this hair follicle test. I reported weeks ago that she passed the hair follicle test. Now it's clear that it is in a court document yet because of how some attorney choose to write the paragraph it is questioned. Of course it was fine for those here to bash her when it said in court documents that she failed the original pee test to report that as fact. The truth is out there if you want to see it. Here is where it said she flunked the pee test "5. Upon being drug screened the Plaintiff tested positive for PCP and temporary custody was awarded to the defendant" "6. An expedited hearing will be granted to the Plaintiff if she has submitted to a hair follicle drug screen at A Test Consultants on Broadway in North Little Rock, Arkansas." from the Oct 31 filing. Why would anyone else be hair follicle tested but her?

I'm holding on to the hope that CL was honest with her friends and this is just a huge misunderstanding. I have known her for many years. She is not the person she is being presented to be here. Carry on.
I haven't seen anyone out and out calling you a liar. I have seen people thinking that perhaps, because you are her friend, you may have a slanted opinion, which would be normal. Who would want to believe a trusted friend could be capable of murder?
Whether she was on drugs or not, is not the deciding factor of whether she could possibly have participated on this crime. Even a person who has never done drugs could be involved in a nefarious plan.
Please try to think for a moment as if you were not her friend. As an insider, you do have a different viewpoint. Try to suspend that relationship for a moment and see how we are thinking.
Now, I can not picture myself ever being in her situation. But, let's pretend for a moment that for some reason, I had fallen into the world of this caliber of person (AL) and gotten caught up in a VERY bad situation. I know she was 'trying to get away' from him. But...she hadn't as of the time of the incident. She was battling for him on Instagram, admittedly knowing full well that he was a criminal, a cheater, and was indeed screwing around with other women online. She still hadn't kicked him to the curb. She was still involved with him So...even if she didn't fancy his type of life, she was still involved. Why do women stay with slimeballs? We don't know, but they do. Until they don't. It seems she hadn't reached that 'I don't" stage quite yet.
So...whatever degree her involvement might have been...if she had for whatever reasons been pulled into this at whatever stage of the game, let's think like her.
IF, and this whole post is on the premise of IF she is guilty of what she has been charged with, she was involved I can see her having a very strong reason to not tell a single living soul what she had done. Friendship is wonderful, but...IF I did something like this, I would not be admitting it to anyone, even my best friend in the world. Friends have a way of leaking things out. If a friend told me in confidence that she was involved in a kidnapping/murder, I would have to go with my morals and conscience and report it. Friend or not, I could not let them slide, especially because then I would be complicit in it. Better for a friend not to know than to ask them to keep a secret, right?
So...of course I would be acting as if I were innocent, setting up timelines, and pointing out to anyone who would listen any reasons I could why I could be viewed as uninvolved.
I do know there are wrongfully charged and convicted people out there and that breaks my heart. Not only for their innocence, but because the real perpetrator is walking around free to strike again. However, I usually see that in cases when the police need to pin it on SOMEBODY, due to public pressure. That was not the case here. They already have someone in custody that admits to being involved. I doubt they will have a hard time proving it, as this jackass is a dumb one, and has run his mouth enough to hang himself already.
I can't see any reason for dragging her into it other than evidence that points to her involvement. No need to.
Also...they have taken their time and gathered enough evidence to formally charge her. I am sorry, but that does carry more weight than her friends saying, "She would never do something like that." Perhaps she wouldn't have, on her own, cooked up a plan to do this. But I think we can agree that her involvement with AL has led her to do things that she perhaps would never have even imagined herself doing. Like fighting on the internet over a man with an extensive criminal background who was openly cheating. Women get dragged down in situations like this, sadly. She, by your own account, was desperate for money. It seems like once she met AL, it was all downhill from there.
Please understand, we are NOT her friends. We can have more of an open mind as to seeing her life disintegrate to the point that she got herself wrapped up in this.
The world has seen time and time again really bad people who have a slew of friends and family saying, "I cannot believe it! The person I knew them to be would NEVER have done something like this." From those who walk away from their families and start a new life to those who are serial killers. In fact, that seems to be the case more times than not.
So...I applaud you again for sharing what you do know. Thank you for that. I just think that perhaps your vision may be clouded by the fact that she is your dear friend and not someone you ever thought could fall so far. For your sake, I truly DO hope that there is a misunderstanding and that the evidence they have carefully gathered enough to get warrants and charge her can be proved not true. But...I ask you to see why we tend to think otherwise.
