He appears to have some kind of hold on this woman.

The way she`s been behaving following arrest, ( blowing kisses to him etc ), would suggest that she isn`t of sound mind.

I`m in no way making, excuses for either of them, but for a mother, who`s infant daughter, has recently died under tragic circs, this isn`t normal behaviour.

@Rita_Poon, I do love your humour and input across our wonderful GOT platform, but you have derailed this thread. And that's the exact thing you jumped all over Pete about, after he mentioned capital punishment. 'Wrong time and wrong place' you said.

Live and let live, my friend.

oh the irony.

Reading between the lines, it seems they've taken the baby away for fear it'll be taken off them. Then travelled around in pretty cold temperatures in inadequate shelter.

It would explain the police initial concern rather than criminal search and the manslaughter charge.

I'd be wary of that train of thought TBF - yes, its possible but she has a rich family, a fantastic legal team and a life sentence potentially hanging over her head; it would be a very sensible legal strategy to appear as if she is not right in the head and was under the control of an evil rapist, in fact she's probably a victim too etc etc.

There have already been more than a few articles in the media exploring that sort of thinking, and there will be more during the trial.

I’m just waiting for how this plays out, white woman from aristocratic background and black guy who at 15 was found guilty of kidnap and sexual battery……
i suspect I know who will be attributed more blame in this awful case, but unless there is a clear and demonstrable history of neurological issues in her (not just something that is conveniently applied from when they met) they should be equally and mutually accountable for this tragic horror show.

I couldn’t give a crap what she was worth, her background or his background, if they were responsible for the child’s death. If they weren’t then we’ll find out, if they were then……

thank you @Littlesue …
