There were three dogs, I remember that - I'm just conjecturing the ex and son got the one I heard a disputed claim about. Maybe it was in the now-closed previous string? I'm also wondering if SL was successful in having the 2 dogs killed. Some people start those actions but find out some vets won't simply comply to a request to destroy a healthy animal.
And I will admit that Bro requesting the photo is horrifying, and I can't imagine exactly why he did it, but I can easily understand the lie about the lawyer wanting it - to "borrow" the lawyer's prestige / authority to get what he wanted. Presumably Bro doesn't understand procedure and that the prosecutor has to release evidence against an accused so the accused can prepare for a vigorous defense at trial. I think Bro thought he was going to gather evidence that would be lost (to cremation) if he didn't get it through whatever means he could devise.
Creepy? Absolutely. Misguided? Without a doubt. But I can't see any *evidence* tying Bro to the crime - and for some reason I *can* see him doing something he thought would be helpful (if underhanded). Acting in panic and stupidity and not thinking how horrifying it would look later if it came out. Not to say I'm right. I'm just speculating and expressing what I experience in observing the unfolding story.
