I had several loosely related things in your post to respond to separately and they all got jumbled together. Look at it as four separate items. That's why I cut out part of your quote. I tried to leave enough for you to be able to tell what I was responding to. This time I numbered the separate answers. Sorry to be confusing.
It's clear she's talking about Billie and Shawn's drug buy. Affidavit, 6:19, 6:20, $60, $80, voluntary admission from Billie, purchase illegal narcotics from a person in Scurry. Yep, she's definitely talking about Billie and Shawn's drug buy that Billie admitted to.
1. I know what you are talking about. I've been all over this case. But I think asking "OK, so are you telling me that you got, basically, a refill of prescription drugs
not from the drugstore? Is that what the illegal narcotic was?" is as strange a sentence as any of Billie's. I am not sure Billie got the actual QUESTION. A clearer way of asking might have been "OK, so are you telling me that you got a refill of prescription drugs
from someplace other than a drugstore? Is that what the illegal narcotic was?"
While watching the show, I wasn't completely sure myself until I ran it over in my head and made sense of it.
No, she didn't say narcotic, or Vicodin. She said "the prescriptions" (plural). You snipped that out of my post and out of the transcription...
2. NANCY mentioned ILLEGAL narcotics, and Billie referred to the PRESCRIBED narcotics, the Vicodin for the toothache.
The affidavit had indicated she'd been under the influence of narcotics the day she came in and I think she was trying to establish that the narcotics referred to in the affidavit WITH REGARD TO HER NOT BEING ABLE TO BE GIVEN THE LDT (as differentiated from the ones bought in Scurry County) were prescribed to her for a bad tooth, since the way it was worded made her sound like a heroin addict.
But that's fine - here ya go:
BILLIE DUNN: No. I`m not even sure what day I got the prescriptions. I think it was before then.
But despite her saying "the prescriptions" (plural), it's the Ativan that stood out to me, because I thought she said she got that after Hailey went missing, and here she's saying before.
3. To me 2 prescriptions IS plural, and she claimed the dental prescriptions (1 each for an antibiotic and for Vicodin) was what she had taken prior to the polygraph. I think she had THOSE prescriptions before Hailey disappeared.
The Ativan was added to the equation after Hailey went missing, but before the bottles were photographed, and this was about the time people thought she was "changing her story" from having said she was on Ativan when she went to the LDT on NG one night to saying she was on Vicodin the next night. She was talking about 2 separate days that she went for the LDT and was turned away. There was so much confusion over what she claimed to be taking and where she got it that she had Priscilla film the bottles for "proof"
Not sure why you're throwing marijuana and stuff in there. I haven't, and didn't in my post. I asked one, short, simple question about Ativan only.
4. I was trying to say that the term "narcotic" seems to be a catch-all for most drugs in Texas, based on some conversations in earlier threads that said marijuana is classified as a narcotic (this was discussed in conjunction with the affidavit and also Clint allegedly being arrested for marijuana possession when his home was searched). If that is correct, someone buying a little "wacky tobacky" could be said to have "purchased illegal narcotics".
