This is a really good and thoughtful theory of what may have happened, AZlawyer. But why would she do this? The little boy would never be prosecuted, would he? He's much too young for that ~ and it would have obviously been an accident formed from good intent, right? So why would she do this? Not to cover the fact that she was incapacitated by alcohol ~ because she's already admitted to that. I don't see a motive for this theory but I am slow.
If she's worldly enough to hire JT to represent her, wouldn't she be smart enough to know neither of the boys would have been held legally responsible?
ETA: Please forgive me; the first thing I should have said is how happy I am to see you participating in this forum, AZlawyer!!!!
I suppose what I was thinking was that DB would not want JI to know she drank to excess and got one of the kids killed on his first night working. If their relationship was a little rocky to begin with and/or he had expressed doubts about her parenting skills, she might have been desperate to hide what happened. Later, she might have realized that she was going to have to incorporate the drinking into her story, because of those pesky "gaps" in the timeline--but if she could keep the story about an intruder and not about her son dropping Lisa, then JI could not be as mad at her.
