It's plain to me what he's trying to say, it's just clumsily worded. To my understanding he's not saying the betrayal is worse than the loss - he's saying the betrayal added to the loss makes it that much more painful. JMO.

Cady, if it was an IRA, yes, you are absolutely right and disingenuous of RH's brother to imply like you say that it's 'rainy day' money resulting from prudent month to month financial planning. He may slam the prosecution's circumstantial bits and pieces case but those bits and pieces combined...

For some reason I'm not seeing these two as regular 'savers' so a large part of the $6000 might be their annual tax refund.

Yes, you're right, my bad, one juror to hang a jury or cause a ripple effect that ends up with them all caving so they can get outta there. ;)

I'm not surprised he isn't jumping on a deal at this point, I won't be surprised if he never does. Anyone who would deliberately roast their own child to death in a car probably doesn't care much about the feelings of other family members as they get dragged through a long and painful court...

BBM. That exactly what my husband and I do, everything except our mortgage goes on the cc. It's not for flyer miles (we do fly frequently but get our miles and deals from airline and hotel rewards programmes we're members of) but for cashback on every dollar we spend and yes, we pay it in full...

BBM. You're right, we don't know for sure. Maybe she did have reminders in her car but wouldn't it make sense in that case that she insist he have them in his car too? And yeah, maybe she did text RH for drop off confirmation that day and maybe he responded that he had dropped Cooper off...

RSBM and BBM. No, it doesn't IMO. It doesn't absolve her of her parental responsibility to ensure Cooper's safety. She too googled hot car deaths by her own admission, it is her GREATEST fear, so what did she do? Nothing. No use of aides memoires in the car to remind him the baby was there, no...

Yeah, I thought it was pretty good for a Saturday brain on only one cup of coffee, LOL. ;)

Actually I think in that scenario RH would still be guilty of killing Cooper and so would LH, yes, it might distance them from 'intent' or 'premeditation but the searches alone notched their responsibility, being now informed of the risks, to a higher level. Frankly, regardless if they had left...

Nailed it. Their entire lifestyle is ALL about appearances.

As a former Catholic I can say it's not just a matter of " 'fessing up'" though and, while people often make that mistaken assumption, in most religions it is emphasised you only truly get absolution for your sin in the eyes of God if you a) confess AND b) repent AND c) do penance AND d)...

Maybe it's just another part of the wholesome, shiny, happy people image they wanted to project to the world. Young, professional, middle-class, soccer parent, church-going, upstanding pillars of the community. Talking the God talk but not walking the God walk is not all that uncommon in my...

Thank you so much! It's been niggling me so much that whatever data I've entered at work this morning is likely to be pure drivel and will drive anyone who accesses it insane. ;) I've got what you're driving at now and I totally agree. It makes no sense for two people who insist that they are...

I'm really confused by what you mean in your posts about the 4:01 phone call - I'm missing something, it's like something flickering on the edge of my brain but when I try to look at it full on it just flits away. Here's my thinking as to how it went down (assuming LH is not or even is in...
