Just because you wake up doesn't mean you get up then. I don't think it's a flat out contradiction.
MOO
however, her Feb 29 audio interview she does say: 'I got up off the bed AT THAT MOMENT", technically, she got up
but she claims she wasnt out of bed for the day until she says 9am. IMO she certainly wasnt back in la la sleep land, IMO if she thought she heard somebody in the kitchen, heard sounds etc.
SS claims he was in and out of JS's room several times giving her updates. I know, he is a liar, but what about her?? (IMO)
she is then confronted on Feb 29 about her written statement about seeing Madeline in the morning, her words:
"I MIS-REMEMBERED, I didnt see her....I wanted to believe I saw her......but I didnt"
Feb 29: but she is then asked about what she said on the police bodycam reporting her missing, that she knew what she was wearing? she claims Madeline picked it out the nite before. no other info. until:
subpoena interview:
JS: This evening we had, um, I had already discussed prior to Stephan coming to visit that he was going to help me take Maddie to school that day. Um, so because I knew that that was what was going to happen, that night, I had asked Maddie to pick out your clothes, have everything ready, have your backpack ready, your water bottle, everything you need ready, so that way you could just grab your stuff and head out. It won’t be too much--too much of a hassle in the morning. Um, and so she did. She picked out her clothing. I asked her what she was wearing, and she told me what she had picked out. I said, “Okay, fine.”
Madeline TOLD HER what she picked out to wear (convenient, no one can confirm that). what she goes on to say is she never saw the clothes she picked out or where they were, whether in Madeline's space on her bed in the living room or upstairs. "I hadnt see them".
in fact, there is no corroboration or witness as to what Madeline said or did upon arrival home when she shut the front door. JS was not there for 2 hours. SS was.
IMO, I cannot rely on JS's generic account of her interaction with Madeline for 30 minutes upon her arrival home and about her 'bedtime routine".
Subpoena interview:
WJ: Okay. Now during this 30 minutes that the three of you are in your bedroom, is Madeline engaging in any of her kind of nighttime routine or getting ready for bed? What else is going on, if anything? (remember the movie statement, it is omitted in this interview)
JS: Ummmm... We spent a long time talking about gifts and having her show me, and then we counted out her money. Um... (long pause)
I can't remember if she had finished with all of her bedtime routine.
WJ: Okay. Does she brush her teeth at night?
JS: Uh, in the shower.
WJ: In the shower, okay,
and that occurred before you got home?
JS: Yes.
my question: if she was changed, showered, teeth brushed, and 'she believes she instructed Madeline to take her meds herself when she got home'.....and clothes picked out....30 minutes with JS, food talk, money counting, a few trinkets, she was so happy, and then she is heading upstairs with SS....what was left for Madeline to do, that she doesnt know if she is 'finished'?????
