He is.. the first two videos he's letting her do all the talking until motive reveals itself with casual questioning. He sighs soo much though. He definitely got tired of her by video 2, he goes all, ok, we know you did it, there's no reason to play games anymore. I got tired of her too (already), but I never knew that Det Flores was point-blank with her so early on, I thought it was much later. Okay. I couldn't hang on long enough last time to watch these in sequential order else I would have known. *oops* Not that I ever thought Flores wasn't cunning. Lol
Flores does sigh. I almost think he does this on purpose. He seems to switch from slam-bam-thank-you-ma'am "handcuffs 'n arrest" mode to the" naughty child just stop lying and we'll go from there" mode. Even the Miranda rights are elaborate and avuncular. No snip snap there. JA fell for it all, too, even though not overtly.
A remarkable thing about this interrogation, IMO, is how much detail Flores already had (just a few weeks after the event) about so many aspects of the investigation, including the reality of JA's and TA's relationship, that TA was a "player", etc. He was on top of all the names, events, perspectives, texts....Some of the vocabulary might have been on purpose to irk Jodi (e.g. the "player" and "flirt" words made her flinch), but EF was exactly right on as it eventuated. All that footwork and all that detail going on in one's head was an immense achievement for such a new project.
