Nice try, but they were framing a small foreign faction, remember?
It's my considered opinion that they were trying to cover all bases as best they could. That way, they could always change their minds later. Which they DID, in case you haven't noticed.
How to frame a local 'fall guy with insider information' on one hand, while framing a 'group of individuals that represent a small foreign faction' on the other?
How indeed? Makes one wonder just how clearly they were supposed to have been thinking those first few hours, doesn't it?
It is an inarguable inconsistency in RDI theory, where JR or PR is attempting to frame a foreign faction while including inside information that literally only a handful of people would know.
I never said it wasn't an inconsistency. But it's precisely those inconsistencies that lead to RDI, not away from it. Don't take my word for it. As Gregg McCrary said in reference to this case, real crime scenes aren't inconsistent.
Neither JR or PR would be inclined to include this information whether or not it was a collaborative effort.
And yet it led the cops to check out LHP, Jeff Merrick, Tom Carson, et al., didn't it?
Using this logic, I'm surprised PR didn't just sign the note 'mom'.
In some ways, so am I!
I mean, if they were mixed up enough to include personal inside information, why not forget the RN is supposed to be anonymous??
All kidding aside, the subconscious need to confess is strong in some people, and manifests in odd ways. Remember when PR said on TV that there were two people who knew who did this? I thought JR was going to mess his pants!
This inconsistency is not unlike PR misspelling advise when the RN author did not. RDI has the claim 'deliberate' misspelling or 'she panicked and remembered how to spell' to handle these inconsistencies in the RDI theory. They're still inconsistencies, though.
I've never given that one much thought, one way or the other.
Unsupported claims don't make the inconsistencies go away. They are still there.
I suppose they don't make them go away. But in my case, that's not my intent so much. I make these claims on the basis that people who read them can make up their own minds.
