Regarding FD controlling MT…
IMO - sure, she could have been “controlled”, I’m sure it can “happen” to anyone - however-
1. MT old enough to know better, 20 years of adult experience outside FD sphere of influence should have made her wise to an unhealthy relationship (& she seems to be an expert on “healthy” )
2. MT, I’m assuming, has lived independently as an adult for 10 years with a child before FD. Not homeless, not without support, not relying on FD for housing, food, child support.
3. MT claims she is healthy, no health issues to make her vulnerable to control.
4. They weren’t married, engaged or co-owning anything, not even a bathmat. No legal ties.
5. She had her own car, could have left at any time
7. She had not been “separated” from support, she had her family (and friends?)
8. MT had access to medical care and therapist.
He had control over her how?
IMO - she made choices, some bad ones, then doubled-down and made more bad ones. Don’t think JS can sell “control/ignorance/fear or lost in translation” don’t think jury will buy it either. She had every opportunity to help LE, but didn’t, not even a little bit.
Watching her interviews and her silly answers, outrageous detail about completely irrelevant specifics about properties and her literally banging out The Herman report “diagnosis” on the table with her hands, as though she is solving the crime for the detectives: borderline BANG personality BANG disorder BANG - JF did it to herself!
