Let me say first, I'm not trying to defend EA. I'm simply confused about timing and such.
I know EA lied a lot.
But didn't he say he communicated with his gf during the day on Friday about his tires (or whatever)?
How could the gf not know before September 10, it was EA with CM? When was the video released?
LE showed up at EA's on Wednesday, September 3. September 10 was the following Wednesday.
Within the first week, wasn't the gf contacted by LE? Maybe she didn't know what to think at first.
Did she want to believe the best about him to begin with?
Did she want to consult her parents prior to giving her phone to LE (if she was confused or afraid)?
Do people think she was protecting him or that she just wasn't sure what was going on?
Maybe he told her he was being framed and she, at first, was trying/wanting to believe him.
I mean, before I see or hear the woman on the stand (or in person) I can't put her claims into context.
It sure wouldn't be the first time a man went out at night without explaining where he was going.
Or, maybe she was claiming the fifth in her own way.
Are people thinking the gf was/is afraid of him? Were they really together for four years?
I believe the video was released on September 8.
