I have watched each video clip this time showing EC. I do not see someone who has changed their thoughts that this is a serious situation he is in. Watching his face, walk, and mannerisms, I see arrogance. Infact at one point walking between his guards as he is on the sidewalk going to the transport vehicle, I swear I see a quick smile smirk, brief but there, and he was not clearing his throat either.
Like with any addiction drugs, alcohol, and other 'diseases', the person has to admit and accept he needs help, stay away from the people enabling him, get counseling and support. I do not see EC admitting he needs help. He is playing the 'nice game' in jail to make it easier on himself for now. He plays the rules to get what he wants, like no more jail time after his birthday. IMO, EC is pulling the wool over LE's eyes, making LE think EC is taking this serious.
With that, in this video, at the very end, the reporter said it will be up to the Judge on EC's birthday, to make the decision if EC stays in jail until Oct. 2016. That was a surprise to me! EC needs to stay in jail. This is probably the first time in his life, in a long time, he has had no drugs or alcohol on a daily basis. His mind is clear of those things.
I thought it was interesting mommy was not there. Not allowed or did EC's attorney's tell her no...because it would not be good for EC's appearance sake or because daddy did not want her there as he is paying for the lawyers, or maybe dad would not pay for mom's lawyers if she came, or combo of all three.
And the young man in the wheelchair...I wish they were in court for the Couch family to see. I do understand that family is first, and I am sorry for their loss (family funeral).
