Interesting. Whatever the truth is it is a tragedy. I don't have a strong opinion about it to be honest. It is too easy to speculate when there is not a lot of factual evidence at this point. I don't know any of these people or what they are like. There probably isn't any of us that has not been in a situation that could have ended worse but for the grace of God. I know I've done some stupid things. But I lived to tell the story.
I feel badly for the parents. IMO if DS was wasted on drugs and or alcohol he may not have remembered what happened, and perhaps the other two young men left when things started getting crazier, but if they had sense to get out of the situation they should have kept the video secret, if there even is one. A lot of stuff doesn't add up. And SS mother, my heart goes out to her, if she were my child I would be asking myself why I didn't volunteer to go pick her up after seeing her under the influence with two guys she didn't really know.
BaileyC, I hope you are right. I really don't want to think that DS is a cold blooded killer. The facts make him look bad, but so far we have nothing to confirm that he murdered her or raped her. It looks likely given the situation, but we won't know until the evidence is presented.
