This is one of those cases that really increases my resentment of defense attorneys. They keep their clients silent, yet insist on reasonable doubt and presumption of innocence.
I've never understood how making a statement, whether it be one showing compassion for the victim or one stating innocence, can come back to hurt the defendant. A public statement is not sworn testimony, and in any event, if a person is truly innocent, how can saying that I too miss and worry about Kyron and have wracked my brain trying to think of things that might help him be found, come back to haunt her?
Not saying she would be believed, especially not now. But one would like to think she was fighting behind the scenes with her lawyer, begging to speak out, and that does not seem to be the case.
