When cornered, these people go on the offensive, just like their daughter, and imply by their behavior and words that they are somehow victims in a giant LE conspiracy - that they cannot trust LE, the media or the public to do anything else than frame them for something they are innocent of doing.
KC learned from two people who have evidently perfected that art.
When my daughter used to use a similar excuse of blaming others to avoid responsibility I would tell her that prisons are full of people that all say the same thing. I told her she might very well be innocent of wrongdoing sometimes but you also need to manage the perception of innocence correctly as well with your behavior and attitude.
These people couldn't manage the perception of innocence if they were given a handbook, a script and a professional coach.
