It appears now that a ruling of "accidental" will be the outcome:

Pearl, I can't help but hope they don't rule too quickly, but I fear you may be right.
I am truly torn on this case...
if MP or TH have no connection whatsoever to Gail's death, I don't want them convicted for it obviously, but something seems pretty fishy for the "gal on the side" to lawyer up (along with MP and his mom) if they truly believed Gail had just deserted the family.
I hope this is thoroughly investigated from every angle, and not written off as "solved" too hastily.
