I liked TL and i'm proud to say so. He did right by Caylee today so in my book that makes him ok. Look at the facts. ICA profited $300,000 and counting, TL ZERO, and he never spoke to the media who was hounding him daily. He has done the right thing.
I think it's really easy to judge him never having walked in his shoes, and honestly, the fact that people are judging him is another gift from Casey. Man, that girl keeps on giving.
I think that he was a young guy, who met a frankly easy attractive female. He took everything she was giving. Was that ethical? I'm not completely sure becuase I don't know what he was telling her. By his testimony, they were NOT serious. They'd known each other 3 weeks. Then he finds out this girl may have killed her baby whom he has met? That's straight out of the Twilight Zone and I think we'd be hard pressed to find any 20 something who wouldn't be rocked by that.
Yes, I wish he'd reviewed his prior statements before coming to court. Yes, sometimes I thought he was kind of cocky, but I also think that what is considered cocky can also be a defense mechanism. This guy knows he's in the cross hairs. He knows how big this case is because they were camped outside of his home, not ours.
Emotions run high in this case becuase we all love Caylee. We are united in that she had promise and deserved the chance to fulfill every bit of it. We just have to remember that this is a victim friendly forum, and also we are supportive of people who are testifying. He is speaking for Caylee, he's just nervous. Hugs.
