But they did go on CNN so soon after the murder. I can't see JR trusting that situation if Patsy were psychotic, or so recently psychotic that she had committed a crime. I would think a cool headed CEO would be afraid that she could get verbally out of control with a camera rolling.
We know that Patsy was drugged at the time of the CNN interview, and many people have surmised she was on some sort of benzodiazepine such as Valium, Xanax, Klonopin or the like.
These drugs are known as tranquilizers, and they inhibit spontaneous response as they are central nervous system depressors. These drugs have a calming effect because they keeps neurons from firing in certain areas of the brain, especially neurons carrying the anxiety hormone cortisol. This reduces any anxiety response in the individual, and so is used to combat panic attacks or other psychological disturbances.
If you watch the CNN interview closely, you notice Patsy rambles with her responses which is also indicative of someone under the influence of "tranquilizers." In addition, John controls the conversation, often interrupting Patsy, or taking over the topic at hand. He is careful to keep Patsy on a "short leash' as it were, and make sure she does not say something incriminating.
My opinion.
