From the last thread, quoting Afitzy:
[Truly the stories in MSM seem to vary on the issue but what you are saying is the way that it usually seemed to work. But, if this was the deal then why didn't Atty Smith alert someone earlier if Fd was supposed to meet him in New Haven or some prearranged parking spot along the way? IDK, Atty Smith didn't really explain anything about this yesterday that I recall hearing.
The first story I read was that Fd told the woman at the house wearing the baseball cap and who went to the store, that he wanted to go to Stamford alone. Maybe he said this to get her out of the house. IDK?
It was strange watching it all play out as the Press had seen Atty Smith head inside in Stamford but then they never saw Fd. It was odd to not have Fd be with his atty as previously he arrived with Atty. P. of another member of the firm. Then the situation got strange as Fd still hadn't shown up by noon. It appears that Atty Smith made some kind of call or alert at 12:15 pm to figure out where Fd might be. Supposedly the Judge never entered the Chambers either. All of this info was via Press tweet as I don't think we had any video inside Stamford yesterday to see what might have been happening.
Meanwhile while all this confusion was happening in Stamford, WFSB had the drone flying live in Farmington and it quickly became obvious why Fd wasn't in Stamford.
There was a lot of misinformation and confusion and the Press was IMO left scrambling to figure out where to send their reporters. Very confusing day all around.
MOO]
I agree with all you wrote. It was confusing and not done in their business as usual way. I had wondered (MOO) if there was contention between Fd and the legal team. Without Pattis there and probably Fd freaking out a bit about the bond, I would imagine that Fd was feeling that his last flank had given up on him. So, interesting and I wonder if we will ever know what the chain of events were.
