TLM is pointing her finger at MR because he was a partener in crime.
She's not going down alone. We have information (reports) claiming witnesses saw the to murderers and TS in the parking lot of HD on the eve of Tori's murder.
They have pictures of his car "by chance" being at the gas station minutes after TS was released from school.
I agree, she is not going down on her own, which is the reason that she pointed her finger at someone else, so that she wouldn't take the fall, and now she's hoping she'll get a deal of some sort. I don't think that TLM is as naive as people think. She's been in and out of the system, from reports, she knows how it works. There are pictures of his car being at the gas station, though does anyone know for sure whether TS was in the car or not when he was there, or if in fact he was actually driving the car. I recall there being a lot of questions as to who was in the driver seat when that picture was taken.
As far as LE arresting MR or anyone else without strong "sufficient evidence", esp. in this day of DNA, balderdash. I'm not buying it. We had an amazing amount of LE investigating this case from day one and in my personal opinion, I feel they did an excellent job. Bail is not granted to just anyone. They do not give bail to anyone who could pose harm to the public, be a flight risk and a few other reasons. I believe they have exact evidentary proof to show why he hasn't been given that option of bail. Something has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt to deny him bail. A judge would be privy to all info gathered so far and would be the one to make that decision whether to allow bail. Obviously the deciding judge felt MR does not deserve bail. HMM wonder why?!!!
That's your opinion and you are entitled to it, though I've seen it happen, where there is no evidence, nor any DNA to link the person to the crime yet they still get charged. It's also happened, where people have been convicted and later exonerated because they had the wrong person, Milgaard, Morin, Baltovich, Marshall. LE has been known to decide on who is guilty and then make the evidence fit the person. On the other side, they actually had Bernardo's DNA and they let him out walk out of the police station, because it wasn't even tested, so I wouldn't put a lot of stock on DNA at this point.
Here's an article about wrongful convictions in Canada, and I read the D. Marshall story and can tell you I couldn't believe that he was charged, let alone convicted of the crime:

I'm not so sure that the judge is privy to all the information, I will be checking that out in the morning with someone who actually works in criminal law and will get back on that point.
Do you know for a fact that the judge denied bail? Bail would be set pretty high in a case like this, and like I said earlier, he likely doesn't know anyone that can raise that kind of bail, so again, my opinion is that doesn't follow the rule of proof that he is guilty as charged.
TLM may have been hoping for a deal, but more then anything, I feel that she knew her goose was cooked either way. She gave LE all the info because she is a naive young person, who was caught with her hand in the cookie jar and knew there was no reason for her to hold back info regarding MR's involvement.
I completely agree with this bolded statement, she is looking for a deal, and that's why she was so "willing" to help LE, and the fact is she got a free helicopter ride out of it and was able to spend some time outdoors and not behind bars. I still don't believe that she is that naive, just because she was young.
TLM could not have carried out this murder alone. She had someone's help.
Whether she was the murderer or not, she needed someone to assist her in transportation
. If MR got involved "after the fact", he is still guilt of Accessory after the fact of murder. This is what TLM was originally charged with but upgraded later. I see her claiming MR did the murder and she helped dispose of TS. With the fact that she led TS to MR, and possibly drugging her, this is my belief for her charges being upgraded. They both shared in the fact that this beautiful little girl in now deceased.
How do you know that she couldn't have carried out this murder alone? Stranger things have happened. My understanding is that she could drive, so she only needed access to a vehicle. I have not decided on MR's guilt or innocence for the simple fact that I have yet to hear anything that supports it one way or another. I also don't take his counsel saying he will be pleading "not guilty" as gospel truth that they don't have evidence against him, as that's pretty standard to plead not guilty. TLM's charges were upgraded and it could very well be that MR could get convicted on a lesser charge, we won't know until the trial, and what the jury's verdict is at that time.
All of this is just my humble opinion
