I personally think that it is ALL on Misty's attorney.
LE have burnt their bridges with Misty, trying to break her and she likewise does not trust them ... as part of her upbringing.
I had never thought of it before but, if the Cummings have threatened to present a united front that they were all covering for Misty and Misty killed HaLeigh then ... that's hard to deal with.
Misty's attorney needs to focus on the HaLeigh case as a potential solution to save Misty but, he can only do that if Misty opens up and wants his help.
Misty may feel trapped with no-one she can trust or reach out to without making things worse for herself.
Even with her distrust of the LE...
Misty needs to do the right thing and bring justice to HaLeigh and damn the rest.
bolded by me...
I hope her attorney can persuade Misty to tell everything she knows and to stop covering for the Cummings...If the truth is that the Cummings are responsible for Haleigh's death..say it...tell it...
I am not in Misty's shoes..or Misty's frame of mind...so I can't imagine what she is feeling/thinking...but I am guessing she is afraid to implicate the Cummings..they may try to kill her family...and she maybe weighing just that in her mind...These folks scare the ---- out of me....
Their "threats" ...pointing "gun" finger and making the sounds of gunshots then telling her family members they are done for....that sent a message......
this will happen to you...absolutely a threat..
Ending the life of an little animal and (sorry) de-heading it, putting it in a mail box....that sent a message..
this will happen to you....absolutely a threat....
Misty may have a reason of herself involvement, but if she did not kill Haleigh, the LE will arrest who did...she just needs to say it
I hope Misty's attorney..gives Misty the strength she needs, the encouragement she needs, the best advice possible for her ...that she needs right now...
Another thought here, perhaps Misty is willing to talk, to tell all, but...is balking on the testifying in court....for fear...
I am hoping she can go forward, now...
