I am not saying or thinking anything bad about AJs friends at all. I am glad they were all so close. The only thing that I ponder on, is the closeness that WH had to all her male friends. And AJ seemed to have more close male friends, which I did too as well in highschool. I worry for them that WH tried to drag them down with him, to his level which very well could have got them in trouble- therefore, the 4 that came to LE with the house break in story, I think they began to fear WH and realize what he was trying to do by keeping them so close to him and potentially bringing them down with him. I am hoping they didn't fall for his lies, and all realized it which led to them telling LE what WH and that he was even trying to get them to lie/cover up things too. WHs version of "bringing evidence to light" was manipulating 4 young men in trying to make them think someone else was at fault, so he kept them close and used them, and then I think they all quickly figured it out after talking with one another and even their parents.
