my theories usually wind up too complicated, but I've always believed that one was covering for the other. Misty being a wild teen, & her total non hesitation in getting with WBG, makes me think that her devotion might not be that strong. Ron, on the other hand, has remained very loyal. He took her back after that weekend, married her, (against legal advice, I'm sure), yes he divorced her, but he never really left her, paid for his name to be tattooed on her, had probably moved back in with her, trafficked drugs with her, & most of all, he sheltered her, defended her & lied for her, (passed her poly? yeah, right). I remember the bus stop witness's account of Ron's 1st reaction to Misty. He was smitten & fell hard. He moved her in & set up house. He had a real job & seemed to be settling down. Maybe Misty wasn't ready for that? & let's not forget Tommy's rat...was that really sent because of Misty? when she tried to tell Ron that she loved him in court, was that to gauge her hold on him? IDK, but when I hear Nancy Grace, Art Harris, Cobra, Tim Miller, Steve Brown, ALL say they don't believe Ron is responsible, I have to listen. Can they all be wrong about him? I've thought Ron, from the beginning, was the guilty party, but now, I'm not so sure. Maybe all of Teresa's cover up was because of his lifestyle & her belief that Misty wouldn't hurt Haleigh & because of guilt-it was her decision to get Misty back in that trailer. Maybe GGS is just feeling guilty for not taking the kids home with her that night. But if Ron has been covering for Misty, he has known all along exactly what happened to Haleigh. Is Misty covering for Ron? I still think that's possible, but it's making less & less sense. I do think it's possible that Tommy & or Joe are responsible, due to Misty, & Ron is covering for her part. My very 1st gut reaction, when I heard the story, but had not heard the 911, was that Misty had bashed Haleigh with a basball bat. Why, IDK, but later I figured it was Ron, & now I'M on the fence about who was responsible. A couple of weeks ago, I posted about Misty's lack of mental capabilities, & wrote a hypothetical defense scenario & was surprised @ how easily it flowed-since I've been a big defender of Misty & anti Ron. It was about her going off on Haleigh & not being able to stop. I think that's a real possibility. But, even with all of this said, I still feel like Ron is more than a little involved. I wish we had more facts to go on... & another reason that I think Ron may be covering for Misty...when she was seeing WBG, Ron threw her clothes on Nay Nay's lawn, (although I should say yard, because I can't picture NN with a green, manicured lawn). That act says something about Ron's feelings for Misty. If he didn't care, he wouldn't have wasted the effort. He cared. Yes he was mad, but he was also hurt & betrayed, & he cared enough to not hide his feelings.
