That is disturbing, **BUT** it crossed my mind that I don't have any context to put this comment in. What if LH had just asked him, "Ross, how could you drive all the way to the mall with little Cooper in the backseat when you knew he was dead???" Would it be *as* strange if RH then said, "I was dreading how he would look. I couldn't look at him after what I did. How could I be so stupid??? I was trying to think how to tell you. I was afraid so I just drove." I know it's a stretch, but sometimes context makes all the difference.
Re: the line "I was dreading how he would look"
I just can't imagine the horror, the guilt, and the nasty of nastiest emotions running through me at the moment I'd realize I am the one who caused my child's death and in the same instant realizing the agonizing manner in which my child died - OMG I left my own child in a boiling hot car all day and have yet to see my poor baby's face.
I think the thought of "I was dreading how he would look" is not a far fetched comment to have.
I also have to add - that my opinion has changed after watching the probable cause hearing - and it's not with the majority :truce:
At first I thought he did it on purpose, and she was in on it. But I have to admit that the news coverage and the majority of opinions here are all geared towards that same opinion (he did it on purpose and she was in on it) I was not hearing/seeing any other side to this story.
But after watching the probable cause hearing and listening to the defense lawyers explanations - he had me thinking, oh, ok, it could be explained.
So now I'm undecided :fence: and sitting on the fence if this was preplanned.
I do have to give the benefit of the doubt and think how horrible it would be if it was an accident especially for LH - can't even begin to think of loosing my only child, my life being yanked out from the world around me and having spot light and magnifying glass on me 24/7 to find any bit of crumb to call me a killer. I'd be kind of numb, and in shock.
Sorry NanKelley for attaching such a long post to your post - I was just going to agree with what you had to say and got carried away.
Thanks all for understanding and it's all just my :twocents: and my opinion and all that jazz - which means it could change in the future.
