That’s very true. Going back to your original point about MS’s request for a dog and bones being in line with a plan for a pet cremation business, I don’t see that at all. IMHO the evidence in this trial shows:
- MS wanting something wet, something with bones, and then requesting a dog in the context of testing the incinerator.
- MS standing happily in front of the incinerator as it’s burning. He finally got what he wanted.
- MS writing lyrics about a b!tch laying on ashy stone.
- MS confessing to his buddies about killing a girl and burning her body.
Even if someone doesn’t think MS was physically present for LB’s murder, they might still conclude that MS helped plan it and encouraged it so that he would have material for the incinerator. I.e. LB became the wet thing with bones in it. When MS asked for the dog, DM probably replied, “patience negro, I know just the right thing.” And then they drove out to the titty bar where they discussed killIng LB.
The pet cremation business is such a silly notion to me that I don’t give it much, if any weight. MS clearly had a deeper interest and involvement in the project than burning pets. He simply wasn’t interested in or capable of doing legitimate work. The texts in this trial show he wanted more than anything to be a rapper, and the only raps we heard in this trial were quite sinister and in line with the events of LB’s murder and cremation.
