Ok, the agreement document. IMO of course. It's bogus. It's exactly what Boz said, something to convince the cops that they made an under the table deal and Laura took off with the cash.
My personal opinion is I don't think Laura wrote the bottom part. And I don't think the prosecutors do either. I think it was traced from prior documents. That might sound crazy, but the word combinations are crappy, and the spacing and line alignment are strange. And she wouldn't have mispelled her attorney's name this late in the game. Maybe she did in another written document the year before or it was forged with a mispelling.
The (relative newbie) FBI lady said it was Laura's handwriting, so what can the prosecution say? They can't really say "the FBI expert is mistaken" so they have to work around this in their case, thus saying maybe she wrote it with a knife to her throat. I thought Boz came close to alluding it was traced, but maybe I was imagining it.
I bet AH or someone in that close circle of people have forged a thing or two in the past. I think they took docs with Laura's handwriting, used words from those docs to trace a draft, and then kept tracing til they got it in its current form. Why didn't they fingerprint it? I guess it wouldn't matter since they could have had her hold it or otherwise get her prints on it. But if they weren't on it, that would be telling. I realize to be an FBI fingerprint expert, you've got to have qualifications, but I just don't believe Laura wrote it.
But the document, just as GH intended it to be, is the sticky part of this defense. It is very confusing. But Laura would never have voluntarily agreed to this, and
if she had, she wouldn't be dead, would she? I hope the jurors get this.
As far as KB saying that their being in TX was kidnapping and GH's "worry" about it, that was bogus, too. Who was going to report him as taking the kids out of state? This whole thing was just an excuse to leave Texas very quickly. "Hey, we're coming to visit. Uh oh. Now that we're here, we're worried about a kidnapping charge. So we'll just take your boat out in the dark and then leave so we won't get in trouble." This actually lends some credibility to KB's testimony, IMO.
Denial is an amazing emotion. Did KB know by her intuition? Yes. Did she have details and facts? I really don't think so. I suspect much was left unsaid, and she closed her eyes and held her breath for them to leave and the nightmare to go away, which of course, it didn't. Thankfully, she cooperated completely. Without her, who knows how things would stand? But I also reserve the right to change my mind during AH's trial.
That is, if KB lives that long. I think this thing has destroyed her health. But I'm just speculating.
Also, back to the document, I think part of the scheme was to say in texts and email, "did you contact your attorney yet?" in order to pretend she was going to officially drop the custody case which was scheduled. But those were sent after she was dead.
It is all quite confusing. I think Amanda came up with the agreement cover up idea. GH is too stupid. (Not that the agreement thing is smart, but it does confuse things.)
