Good catches.Another observation...
Referencing the incident report by Deputy Joseph (10644), it seems he first took a statement from the stepfather who provided that he dropped his daughter off at school, and when the mother went to the school, she was not there.
Assuming Joseph next took JS verbal and written sworn statement in private, she told Deputy Joseph that she observed MS getting dressed for school, and the step-father, SS, took her to school--dropping her off near the intersection of Town Loop Blvd and Hunter's Park. In her sworn statement, JS did NOT use the proverbial "we," and did not insert herself into the act of taking MS away from the property.
Similarly, in SS's verbal and written sworn statement later given to Deputy Joseph (date/time unknown, and half a line redacted), he also avoided the use of "we," cited during earlier interviews, and only referenced himself as dropping MS off, approximately one block away from the school.
I think it follows that JS first talked to Joseph prior to giving MSM interviews, and I think it significant that when talking to LE, she did not insert herself with act of taking MS away from the property.
I think JS initially telling media "we" took MS to school was most likely a statement of unity suggested to her, but I also observed JS correcting herself (without being prompted), that she did not actually accompany SS and MS to school. JMO
I also think JS may have been representing that SS didn't stay at the house anymore. Those media WE's may have been for the benefit of family who might have voiced objections to SS.
I saw her getting dressed.
He picked her up.
We took her to school.
What makes absolutely no sense -- coming from SS's ridiculous profuse apology -- that they were planning to pick Maddie up from school together. Really? Why? In the history of ever, had they ever done that? Rubbish.
