I was a bit underwhelmed by this whole show. I don't think it takes much time to abandon a baby on a building site or similar, and it would fit with her excellent denial skills "oh I'll come back to pick her up after the wedding". But everyone seems to assume Lane brutally murdered Tegan and buried her, which isn't usually how infant deaths happen.
Having Lane finally admit that she might have been wrong about the father's surname is nice but it doesn't change anything or open up new lines of inquiry. I believe the friend who heard her speak about an affair with a guy named Andrew. But that doesn't change anything either.
And honestly, giving your baby to some rando you shagged for a while when you're not even certain of his surname, and then not keeping in touch with him... it's not completely implausible but why do that instead of adoption? It comes across like she just couldn't be bothered with the paperwork. I t
I do think the trial sounds crappy, but not worse than many others. Any journalist who's covered the court beat before would not be surprised by the way lawyers treat it all like sport. I'm disappointed that Tedeschi seems like a bit of a dick, because I've got one of his books in my to-read pile.
Maybe I'm just an old grump but I remain very unsympathetic towards Lane. If she thinks her trial was crap or her lawyers gave her bad advice, then she can lodge an appeal like everyone else. Being a rich sporty woman at the time of your crime shouldn't get you special treatment.
