Yes, the addition of the kidnapping charge was curious but most likely strategically well done IMO. Perhaps it has something to do with the blood loss estimate in the garage or perhaps CCTV footage that we the public haven't yet seen. Or, maybe some combo of the the 2? IDK. Maybe the kidnapping aspect ties into the idea of the Conspiracy to Commit Murder as well and brings the co-conspirators together as a team and will be made clearer at trial? Again, IDK.
I'd also wondered about the KM and MT pieces of this huge puzzle which IMO haven't yet fully been integrated into the narrative of JFd kidnapping/murder IMO, most likely because of the ongoing investigation. Perhaps there are 2 pieces to the crime with the first being immobilising JFd and bringing her to a 2nd location/2ndary crime scene and the second being the actual murder and body disposal?
We essentially even after nearly 8 months don't have a solid timeline for MT which is unfortunate for us, but very craftily done by LE I believe. I'm certain LE does have that MT timeline and my suspicion is that we will see exactly what LE did to Fd in terms of information being released to discredit any/all statements of Pattisville gradually over time until Fd simply gave up hope of being able to squirm out and so he gassed himself to death (well this and the faux bond and his financial collapse). Can you imagine if the computer backups over time reveal that BOTH Fd and MT were working on the alibi scripts for months! Bingo and Game Over. We have seen none of this evidence and it could be a gold mine as these folks weren't savvy and relied on an outside contractor to assist with their computers and data devices, phones etc. I'm actually smelling burnt toast as I think of this information!
I do see this process of presenting evidence piece by piece to the point where it doesn't matter all that much what MT or "Dog Bite" say in rebuttal. I very much welcome this happening to MT as IMO MT has had more opportunities to assist and make a plea deal than most accused I've ever seen and its been a long time since I've seen such a coldly calculating remorseless and greedy individual as a suspect too.
It's frankly been incredible to watch MT ongoing lying to LE not be punished as its a punishable offence. It's always curious to see people who think they are smarter than the system. We saw where this mentality put Fd (6 ft under or dust in the wind IDK!) and IMO I think Mama A would be wise to give this a bit of thought as she plots and schemes her way through the CT legal system to save her IMO amoral degenerate daughter. Does MT have the mental fortitude to withstand 20+ yrs of prison? Mama A knows the answer to this and I'm surprised she chose to not make different choices on behalf of her daughter earlier in the process. We shall see how her gaming and scheming plays out. My guess is that this won't end well for MT.
But, with the technology at the fingertips of LE and the diligence taken to put the MT word salad together I'm sure that Atty Colangelo isn't much interested in listening to MT and "Dog Bite" any further and so will just continue to stack up the evidence until it doesn't matter which language we have going as being translated in the Courtroom. Atty Colangelo/or his successor will simply show the pictures and the forensic evidence will tell such a clear story that language will be virtually irrelevant! My expectation is that the evidence will be so clear that the trial could be in Kaixana or Dumi (2 of the least spoken languages in the world) with no translation offered and it wouldn't matter!
I'm actually surprised that this new attorney isn't suggesting to MT to serve out her time waiting for trial in jail in hopes of possibly seeing her daughter before she is 30!?! The CT system is slow and I do think KM has the right idea (well, up until today when we found out who his new roomie is in jail) of serving out his time as he knows his investigation was in the early stages at the time of his arrest. MT I think will regret arguing for better travel terms and release terms and wasting time in her 1,000sf condo with Mama A and not parking herself in jail awaiting trial IMO.
If the murder of JFd was done in 2 parts, were the people involved in the first part and the second part of this crime, under this scenario the same or different? Did Fd and MT do both parts of the murder or just 1 part? We saw MT DNA on plastic bags and it will be interesting to see the extent of the prep work done in advance of the murder. Taping bags takes a bit of time and my suspicion is that this work was done in advance of the murder. I do wonder if LE now has the proof that MT and FD worked together to put together his kill kit that he took with him to 69/71 Welles?
The Fd statement that continues to haunt this case I think was when he said, "I know what I have done and what I haven't done". Was this statement made to confuse the issue or for once in his life was he maybe telling the truth? IMO there was a smugness to Fd when he made that statement in the interview and I've long wondered if he was simply trying to be too cute with his word play? IDK. I've wondered about this statement because if there is one thing I am virtually 99.9% certain of is that Fd is incapable of telling the truth about much ever. I do very much believe that this Fd statement related to the co-conspirators, principally MT. I'm strongly wondering whether we will see MT in NC on the Murder date. IMO it had to be something significant for MT to not work out a plea deal long before now. Will we see pictures of MT in NC or at some location along the way perhaps along the Merritt or off of 84?
The thing that has become increasingly clear as this case rolled on was that MT was stuck to Fd like glue (or gum on a shoe) and so the ability to claim lack of knowledge or awareness simply becomes implausible IMO. But I do think also that Fd made sure that MT was present and accounted for every step of the way. Sad thing about it all was that she never questioned it and I deeply believe that MT relished the idea of punishing and 'cleaning' JFd and has no remorse for anything that she has done and seen and its for this reason that I fully expect her to be eventually convicted.
MOO
