I listened to it again this AM. Will find it and post it. But AGAIN...the point of my post is that her Attorney attested to a very good relationship between JC and TM...and added they went golfing together. Now maybe they are NOT going to allege DV...maybe the family is just prone to hair trigger tempers. Who knows. But if they do...uh-0h. This will not be helpful.
Do you think it WOULD be helpful to suggest a man had a "very good" relationship with a man abusing his daughter for ...(going by the visit to the divorce atty) ....years?
If she studied but dropped out would she have achieved any sort of certification? Just wondering as there was reference to her being a teacher's aide for Sarah's class a few posts back...perhaps she just embellished her on yahoo profile? She seems to have a track record for that!
You make good points. It is possible. but we have heard nothing substantial or even hearsay regarding it being a possible consideration. I think its likely her lawyers would have mentioned it already, perhaps at the custody hearing. I dont know. what has been reported is that Molly rekindled a love interest at some stage prior to the murder. That was reported.
Again if you are right it could prove pre-meditation, motive..
what are you referring to, which post are you talking about?That's not what Kitty said - review her post.
Sorry Electric Sheep but I'm either missing pages but I genuinely dont know what you mean when you refer to mine and mary mead posts about rape? I think somebody else made lots of posts about sexual assault but I simply cant follow your meaning?Where is the mention of rape in that interview, or indeed in anywhere but the posts of you and Kitty on this forum?
I dont recall hearing a tape saying that. Do you remember when it went out?It's on that tape that Jason beat or raped Molly or that her attorney claimed he did? Do you have a link for that?
I should have said motive.I actually don't think it would prove pre-mediation/motive. More like a slow moving train towards something bad happening.

Today I listened again to an interview with Mollys attorney on Irish radio. It was done shortly after the custody decison. It had a very interesting statement by her attorney that could be key if abuse becomes a focus of the trial. When asked what kind of relationship Tm had with JC...Mollys attorney says..."very good, they'd go golfing..."
Really? Molly had discussed "her problem" with a divorce attorney over a year before...but her Father continues a "very good" relationship with her abuser...goes golfing with a man who rapes or beats his only daughter.
WOW. Have fun explaining that...and it's all on tape.
As I am sure you are aware, Kitty, "hinting" is against WS rules. Reported.

Hi Electric Sheep, I honestly think you, stmarysmead and kittythehare are talking at 'cross-purpose' here. It was discussed earlier in previous threads that rape or sexual assualt 'could/may' be claimed by the MM/TM's lawyers re their self-defence 'defence' . I don't think stmarysmead meant that talk of rape/beatings was actually 'on tape' I think the point she was making was; MMs attorney said that the relationship between TM and JC was...'very good, they'd go golfing...'
So I think that's what stmarysmead meant when she said 'its all on tape' not that allegations of rape/beatings was mentioned in that recorded interview with Molly attorney...so why would a father continue to have a very good relationship with a man who (if MM and her relatives are to be believed) was abusive to his daughter? Which is how MMs attorny described it in the interview.
Anyway hope I'm making sense (very late/early morning here in Ireland and I really should be getting some sleep!)
I think domestic violence in NC is defined here... http://www.ncleg.net/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/HTML/ByChapter/Chapter_50B.html ...clearly it's the nature of the relationship that sets it apart ...and so by definition doesn't that mean at least two people are involved related in some way?...then there is the nature of the violence itself - premeditated and deliberated? hot-blooded and passionate?... habitual?... sexual? ... I think the amount of time taken to deliberate might be a factor when it comes to the charges... as well as the amount of force which in this case is the obvious issue...but, I sincerely hope that we all can agree on this one point ...being a victim of domestic violence should not carry shame and ridicule because very nice people get involved in violent situations ... so often it's not their fault, they didn't deserve it, and yet, they participated in it... it's a back and forth, tit for tat, two for tango dance of darkness that at any time one's role could be misconstrued for the other's...it's very twisted and, hard to understand for some...but it's real..
Unless MM's undergraduate work was done in early childhood education- then it makes perfect sense for a young woman who wishes to experience different cultures to apply as an au pair. Just a thought.
ETA- maybe she began a major in early childhood development and never finished. Just read the yahoo blurb about graduating from Clemson and graduate work at a private institution. Wow! So maybe MM isn't the first person to embellish about themselves online but it is possible she did have some early childhood education training which qualified her as an au pair.
Who knows?
