Here's a thought for the day....
If SA and JS's RECORDED jail calls were so revealing and would prove SA was a murderer, why didn't the State use them in the trial?
I've never seen anything from transcripts of the calls that were the least bit incriminating. All the speculation about these calls being 'suspicious' seems to be self contradictory:
If Steven mentions something mundane it is sinister because why else would anyone talk about something mundane on the phone?
If he gets angry it's proof he's a killer because only murderers get angry.
If he's loving and kind it's only because he knows the calls are recorded.
If he mentions something on the phone like Brendan coming over when it happens, but forgets to mention it a week later it's because he's hiding something. But wait - he knows the calls are recorded, so he's careful to only lie on the phone. So did Brendan come over? Maybe it's a double psych out - Steven tells the truth about Brendan on the phone, knowing the call is recorded, and figuring the cops will think he's lying, but really telling the truth so that he can later neglect to mention Brendan and make the cops look foolish because they think they caught him out in a lie when he was telling the truth all along...
Phew! Trying to make something sinister about this is too much work!
If Steven is talkative it is because he's controlling - but if he's
not talkative it's because he's busy cleaning up two bloody crime scenes, chopping up a corpse, burning the body parts on three different fires each about 50 yards from the others, and parking an SUV a quarter mile away and walking back. No other possible explanation for that one.
At some point Steven mentioned going back home from Crivitz in a call he knew was being recorded. Another fake out? Not this time - obviously some sneaky criminal mastermind move: letting cops know exactly when he plans to destroy some evidence he already had a week to destroy.
Steven didn't talk about Teresa coming to take photos like he did on those other occasions she came over. No, wait a minute - there's no evidence he ever talked to Jodi about the other times Teresa came to take photos. If he did mention her, it would have been to leave a false trail, because Steven knew the calls were recorded. Either way, it's incriminating.
But seriously, you're correct -
there's nothing there. The fact that both Brendan and Steven were on the phone at random times during the afternoon and evening would seem to indicate they were just puttering around doing nothing wrong.
All MOO
