I will wait to see what the defense has to say, but I am curious if anyone here can think of a reason for the behavior of MR to TLM AFTER the murder took place, given that the defense has already said that he helped to clean up.
I have heard people postulate he was unaware of the kidnapping until too late (babysitting, drug debt), that there was no rape, that he walked away when the murder took place. But why would he act like he does after the fact if TLM's sudden plan and visciousness was a surprise to him? Why would he continue to "court" TLM? Why would he rev up his "dating" life? Is there some explanation I am missing? His actions seem to speak so loudly of his deep involvement to me.
I agree...If he was innocent and was horrified of what TLM did, would you not be running for the hills and staying as far away from TLM as possible???He chose to visit, he chose to call, he chose to look after her mom. From his visits, calls etc...this tells me that he was staying on her good side so that she would stick with the plan and her taking the fall. GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY is all I can say. After all he does have a life filled with POF, pimp payments, drugs and one groovy car!!!!
I can't wait to hear how the defence twists this around!!!!!
I think it will go something like this.
TLM just randomly decided one day, due to all those explicit Necro lyrics she was listening to on her Ipod, to abduct and murder Victoria for a drug debt that doesn't appear so far to exist. She decided that instead of either doing it herself, or enlisting the help of one of her EOA gangsta "friends" (that we've yet to hear anything about hanging around with her in Woodstock...where she was kinda stuck because she had no money or wheels to go anywhere) she'd ask her new "boyfriend" (who denied being her boyfriend) to drive her over to the school to pick up a kid that she had to babysit.
So instead of driving into the parking lot of the school that day, he dropped TLM off up the street and drove wayyy past the school and parked in a retirement home parking lot out of sight of anyone on the street. Because he’d scoped out this great parking spot at 9am in the morning. Quite the planner he is. Now even though Victoria didn't know these people according to her mother and TLM, she happily agreed to follow TLM to the waiting car and take a ride to Guelph so that they could pick up some percs for TLM's boyfriend. All the while just sitting there in the back of the car, where there was apparently no bench seat, without a care in the world and saying nothing like "hey...what's going on and where are you taking me?" Or “hey I’ve got friends coming over to watch a movie…will I be home soon?” Or "can I call my mother?" Nope…she just sat there and took in the scenery, never mentioning that maybe she should be going home instead of going on a drug run with a couple of strangers.
So they get to BA’s house and Victoria lies down on the floor like it’s some kind of game so no one will see her. Now shortly after that perc pick up, TLM asked her boyfriend to swing by the local HD and lend her some money to buy a few things. So he went to the ATM and took out his last $80 cash and gave $40 to TLM to make her purchase, without ever asking her what she needed the money for. And when she came out of the store with a very small bag he naturally opened the trunk for her because he never keeps bags or anything in the backseat area of his car. Well at least not until after the murder. Perhaps the trauma of it all made him a slob?
Okay so after the HD purchase, TLM decided to tell him that she had actually abducted this child from the school because her mother owed her or maybe one of her EOA gangsta friends (not sure how they’re going to introduce the drug pals MR was calling all day and night who must be EOA gang members right?) money for a drug debt. And that she was going to...a)call TM to make good on the debt?? B)ask for ransom after taking VS to a safe house?? c) Just kill VS out of spite because she always wanted to kill someone?? Not sure what the plan was here. But first she asked him if he wanted to have sex with the child. Because after the trauma of her own sexual assault as a child, it makes perfect sense that she would offer her new beau this gift. Apparently he said no because he’s a good guy who wears his heart on his sleeve so TLM pulled a blue exacto knife on him and then ordered him to drive to a rural property near Mt Forest, a place that it appears TLM has never been to in her life and couldn’t find a second time, although MR lived for a time in the area and worked just down the road.
When they got to a long and very secluded lane and drove into it until they were out of sight of the road and the sideways house on the road, she then asked him to get out of the car and go for a walk because she wanted to talk to the child because she was now afraid of him. The guy who didn't abduct her and turned down the chance to rape her. The nice guy who had no idea that they weren’t babysitting her. This was the person she was afraid of. So anyway...MR went for a very long walk without his phone which he turned off before going on the walk just in case someone else tried to use it. Or the phone was having charging problems because he did have to return it a month later for that issue. And that's why he wiped it clean first, he thought maybe it just had too much stuff on it and that's why it wouldn't charge properly. So anyway he walked so far away, probably at least halfway to Mt Forest and back considering it took about an hour or more, that he couldn’t hear or see anything about what was going on at his car in that laneway.
When he returned however, he saw a dead child on the ground with no clothing on from the waist down, a garbage bag over her battered head, his trunk open and a crazed TLM holding a hammer and threatening him that he was just as much involved and he'd better help clean up and dispose of the body or she'd send her one EOA gangsta friends out looking for him. Or she’d take revenge on him and go to the cops and set him up and say he kidnapped, raped and murdered the child. Even though that meant she would get a life sentence too.
So he did what all decent young men do in that situation, he obeyed the crazed murderer, who had a hammer and an exacto knife as weapons, instead of calling the cops on her right there on the spot. He helped cover up the murder, helped clean up blood and bottle caps, disposed of the body, destroyed evidence and asked her if she wanted something to eat before dropping her off back in Woodstock. And then he went on with his regular life of sex, drugs and pimping while simultaneously pretending to still be her boyfriend so she wouldn’t get mad at him and make good on her threats. And he said nothing to anyone about where Victoria was even though 13,800 people were looking for her. Although he told plenty of people what he thought happened. It was all her mother’s fault you know. Those nasty drug people always have these kinds of problems with people taking their kids and keeping them and pretending that they are their own. And still to this day, even after his arrest, has said nothing, even though the crazed murdering gangsta chick was now behind bars. Because you see, he didn't do anything to bring Victoria home and tell the “real story” because he was scared. Scared that he might be blamed and scared of the EOA gangsta chick from London and her other gang member friends in Woodstock? Scared that they might do something bad to him… and his very sick mother.
MOO
