Discussion on THE VIEW right now...............interesting!!!
If this Lawyer is smart he would continue with Tillie talking and go with a "groomed" Defense
Are both of these guys in good health? Anyone know? Does either/both have any (chronic) health issues that would require medication/treatment?

"Capturing these killers and returning them to state custody remains our top priority -- however, it's critically important to examine the circumstances that enabled these inmates to escape in the first place," Cuomo said today in a statement.

bbm, ? Seriously isn't there time for that later, and it is evident to me how this happened.
Regarding the escapees' access to tools, there was, according to DA Wiley in an interview this AM with CNN, construction going on in the block where Matt and Sweat were housed. The escapees accessed these tools when they left their cells and entered the "underground" (my word) areas of the prison during the nights (from their secret cell exit holes). In other words, the tools were not laying around in accessible areas; they were inside the infrastructure area of the prison, where contractors routinely left construction tools.
Perhaps Cuomo ought to have a conversation with his DOC administration in Albany, denying Clinton CF the lock down and cell searches they asked for, a month or so ago, after 40+ inmates created bedlam.
Oh. Right. :thinking: DOC in Albany had orders from Cuomo, no unnecessary monies going to DOC around the state, as NYS can't afford it. Including overtime. Ordering lock downs, doing cell facility wide searches are out of the question.
How's that working out for you, Gov. Cuomo?
Seems to me he's in CHA mode. <modsnip>.
Right, but how did they cut out the walls of their cells and whatever other walls to get to those tools in the first place? That's where it doesn't add up for me.
The communication about the escape is so strange. There doesn't seem to be any coordinated comms effort. Cuomo occasionally blurts something out to the media. The DA Wiley seems to speak one-off to various reporters on an ad hoc basis. The prison says nothing (they're too busy doing CYA and being shamed, IMO), nor does the NYSP.
So it seems like most info is from unauthorized sources talking to various reporters, or from the DA when he runs into a reporter and chats. It's all so strange to me. And the whole "they were going to kill the husband" thing is still unconfirmed, and NOT mentioned by the DA as far as I can tell. And that's a very significant data point. So where is this stuff coming from? Sources like the NY Post don't carry a lot of credibility in my book.
Doesn't it seem weird that there's no official communication effort? Why is the DA chatting to reporters? I hope their search is more coordinated and comprehensive than their comms.
ETA: I just saw Wylie interviewed by Carol Costello on CNN. He said there are no other future/pending arrests scheduled at this time. He would not comment about how many people are suspected to be involved in the escape. He had no comment about a "plan to kill her husband." They are "open to speak with" Lyle Mitchell about his involvement/knowledge. Joyce said she had spoken to him prior to her arrest of her involvement.
I'm having a hard time with this too. If that is how they got to the power tools - used ones already in the prison and returned them each night - how did they make the initial cutouts in their cell walls? It's not adding up for me.
And further, why haven't we heard if whoever was responsible for locking up those tools each night has been fired, or questioned, or arrested for aiding?
I'm not falling for it nor her poor poor pitiful Tillie:violin: hang your head down low appearances.uke:
