imo EJ is smart enough to know not to open her mouth without a lawyer.
whether she did a closed adoption through some loophole in the system regarding LM's rights, or wheteher she passed Gabriel off to a coyote who trafficked him across the border, or whether she did the ultimate dreaded deed that none of us want to hear, why would she answer anything without council?
Maybe the Smiths were looking into helping her out with a lawyer or something, and that was the holdup... not sure. But I think today's hearing and the judge stating that a public defender was incoming, will make a difference. I think once she has a chance to consult a lawyer, she'll be at least a little more forthcoming with information, even if it isn't made public.
I agree.. I wonder if she had a lawyer before this if she wouldn't have been more forthcoming.
