I promise, that will be the last cliche. But it's true. I probably would not have written that now after all that's happened. However, when I wrote it, there was still, as slim as it may appear to many, there was still the chance there was something other than the monster mom theory. It was early in the case and I chose to give her the benefit of the doubt and despite the mistruths, hoped (?) the truth would not be as horrible as many thought. After listening to the tapes just released, my hopes are not as strong. But, despite that, until the truth is known, I still do have hope.
