I wonder if it's somewhere in-between. Please point out my errors, because I'm sure I'm missing some things. This supports JW not being involved in the crime.
*SS told JW on Wednesday night to go to AIW to pick up a package. JW takes his red lined bag, anticipating a package.
*Thursday morning, JW arrives at AIW. Accountant meets JW and they go to the bank. Although going to the bank is not necessary because...
*Accountant hands JW a manila envelope to be delivered to SS.
*JW at this point has not been told what is in the envelope, because WHY WOULD YOU TELL THIS GUY HE'S DELIVERING $40,000?!
*JW is curious, so he opens the envelope.
*HOLY COW! LOOK AT ALL THAT MONEY! He puts it in his red lined bag, removes BofA wrapper from a stack, fans it out for effect, takes a pic and sends it to W2. (I'm still not 100% sure it's his girlfriend. I don't think that was ever confirmed.)
*JW cannot re-seal the envelope, so now he needs to go buy a new manila envelope so no one knows he opened the first one and played with the money. (This explains the 1.5 hr trip from Hyattsville to S house which is a fair amount of time, even at rush hour.) I doubt he just happened to have a manila envelope in his car.
*JW puts the money in the new envelope and seals it. Puts it in the unlocked Mosler.
*Lies because he thinks he's smarter than everyone else and has no idea that LE is already way ahead of him by the time they sit down with him.
JMO.
Disclosure: Not personally convinced re JW's involvement or non-involvement as perp.
Of explanations re JW's somewhat hinky-ish action in pic-taking & sending, this ^ is the best I recall seeing. Still have questions, some tying w my post 105 - re source of $.
? JW anticipates 'package' w/be > than handful of currency, thus redlined bag? Y-N.
? Why does JW meet other AIW E'ee at AIW, first? ___ Idea of other E'ee or DDW?
? Does JW drive to bank? Y - N
? In own car? Y-N
? Does other AIW E'ee drive to bank separately? Y-N
? If JW did not send $ pic to girl friend, then who? ___ Just a chum? Showing former co-worker back at go-kart track he is Big Stuff now?
Anyone? Thx in adv.
