They collect loads of cash every month on their rental properties. No one would know how they are paying Lauro. But the state probably needs records of how the attorneys are paid?
True. But Donna just seems so controlling to me. Donna is not like that, Donna has high-end tastes, in my opinion. It’s strange to me that she did not pay for a different lifestyle for her daughter. Especially given the one she described in her emails regarding the relocation motion. There’s definitely an interesting relationship between mother and daughter - the daughter seems to have depended on the mother for babysitting, etc., before and especially after the murder. But, the mother does not appear to have been able to influence the daughter’s choices after the murder as much as she would have liked to. Yet, the daughter appears to have accepted the babysitting. Would that not come with a price, if not financial, than with a lot of manipulation? It fascinates me. Donna seems like a very controlling mother, and she seems to have been able to control W up to a point (pressuring her during the divorce, even helping to choose Dan for her, planning the wedding and not making it Kosher, getting Charlie to persuade her not to buy a house). But after the murder, the relationship to me seems to have changed, and W got more power, (she didn’t want to do what they wanted with respect to Dave, apparently, and didn’t) but also she was more dependent on them, it seems to me. To me it sounds like they were raising those boys. Per the new discovery, Family dinners continued weekly. Does any of this make sense? Who is controlling who, and who THINKS she is controlling who?
What comes up now if you do a search is an inactive listing, and it’s for a sale not rent. There are photos. To me, it looks like it’s an old listing from before, when the unit may have been listed for sale. But, still, it looks like it’s W living there - some of the same furniture is there, same maps, same couch, same “sunshine” posters above the bed. But- it looks MUCH better to me, and there is more furniture and decor. I think maybe the move had already started when the most recent rental listing was put up.
Theres old listings and new.
Yep, I noticed that as well. That’s why I think the move had already begun when the more recent listing went up, and that’s why the apartment looks so sparse. She seems to have a track record, in my opinion, of moving out of places quickly and secretly.
Right. But as the kids grew, she put the bookshelf in her bedroom and got the boys a 2 seater desk.
The family home imo was outdated 1980’s when they sold it.
Makes more sense to me than the other interpretation of her having no other option, but then I'm biased!
Bingo! I think this is right on.
Maybe to prove when Donna and Harvey drove up to Orlando/Tallahassee the night of the money drop?
I don’t recall him saying anything about a game controller. I thought he stated (using his hands as a visual) that someone punched the TV. Do I have to now watch his testimony for the 6th time? Lol
Yes, I think that the issue of when or if Donna was outside Charlie’s house and when they got on the turnpike to go to Orlando will be an issue at trial. Sunpass records would show exactly when the car got on the turnpike. That could be compared with the time of Donna’s text to Charlie saying she was outside his house (they argued that this meant she was on the turnpike, as I recall, and it actually outside his house, so these records would be relevant to that ), and with cell tower records from when they reached Orlando.
