Thanks for this post. IMO they have gone way beyond love and support and have aided and abetted the deceit and lies. I think their behavior has been despicable from day one of this trial... laughing, the *&^* ribbons, acting like they were attending the dang CIRCUS... and on and on.
My thoughts are that the mother and sister are very shallow people, and that they are okay with whatever lies 'have' to be told in order to get Jodi the best possible outcome. I read a post that said the poster's mother would most definitely lie for her to present mitigation, and I was a bit taken aback by that statement. My mother would not lie. She would pray 24/7, mortgage the house to pay for a defense, and she would never quit loving me. However, she would never lie under any circumstances.
