Agreed. I hope there was just that and a record of it, for the sake of justice for her. The no smoking gun comment always makes me think I'm wasting my time wondering about this, but did you notice the woman in red by the bins? Now, if that is SR/CM, then she was there before Jessica walks back into view from distance from the wall of the store. So Jessica's conversation in that corner may have not been with SR/CM alone, it may have continued with others, if SR/CM was waiting for pink deli shirt lady for a loosey or something. Maybe SR/CM did leave with her brand after all?
Yes. I noticed the man in a red next to the barrels a long long time ago. The "chicken" handoff was suspect by me a long long time ago. But watching the video (of the sequence of time footage during that exchange) does not imply to me that Jessica's eventual demise has anything to do with it. Jessica is nowhere around; she is off-camera at the time that the "man in red" first appears at the barrels (as I recall). Jessica reappears from the off-camera location, then stoops to the pavement, and then enters the store.
Sometime around there, the clerk in pink exits the store a second time and "hands off the chicken package" to the "man in red".
Shall I review the video?
At the time of this writing, I am 75% in the alcohol-bag. Please tell me to go away.... *oooohhhh*
