Absolutely agree with this. I know a lot of kids parents in Nelson that smoke, and I don't think it is that far fetched to think she wouldn't have felt uncomfortable around him. Like I mentioned, it's a very trusting community overall.
I absolutely do not agree that she went to his trailer willingly. The guy has been arrested for abducting her, and, they have the evidence that she was there and have informed him of this. betcha they haven't told him all the evidence,m the damning evidence, and they are biding their time, letting him spin this fairytale. When he has spun it to their satisfaction, they will hit him with the cross left: the real definitive evidence.
IMO, this has been their strategy all along, let him hang himself so as not to have a repeat of the SC case. IMO, the CRD has an alibi, as another poster here suggested. The more Randy Taylor lies, and the more these lies get recorded by LE, and when his atty presents these lies as evidence at his upcoming trial, the more effective will be the self-hanging.
IMO, this more than anything else is the reason why they have everything sealed tight and won't tell anyone what they have. When he presents his fairytale, thinking they have basically nothing, and then they lower the boom--then, it's deal time against the DP, not deal time for accusing poor Randy Taylor falsely.
I want to thank Cold Pizza for snipping my posts for getting personal. I truly want to learn the way to totally disagree, and to express my, for lack of better words, flabbergastation for victim blaming. It's not victim blaming as much as wanting to repeat over and over that her bad choices caused her
abduction and probably murder.
There is no proof whatsoever that she went to the trailer willingly for pot.
However, RAT admits to her being at his trailer and then she was never seen again. The guy is facing the death penalty if convicted of her murder! Why wouldn't he say whatever he could--obviously he thinks he can beat the rap by saying, no, it was a drug deal and she left with the dealer.
I think the only interesting thing about this lie is that he didn't say he was the dealer and she bought the pot. This in itself is an indicator that he thinks
he can beat the offense with a hand slap--buying pot is not as crimeworthy
as dealing it. Again, we are supposed to believe that this young girl interrupted her entire evening to make sure some creepy, evil man had
a quarter oz. of weed?
All this being said, it really makes no difference. IMO, it would still be criminal confinement with the intention of abduction and murder.
IMO, we really shouldn't even need to discuss the pot. He is not being held for buying weed, although this is a parole violation. He is being held, IMO, for abduction until he finally confesses to her murder.
IMO, he will confess when he finally realizes the evidence will be enough for the death penalty, but LE will be going for the full monty of the confession to SC as well for LWP. And also JMO, he won't do this until the last final minute.
and when he does this, he will take everyone down with him, to be sure.
