| I've read the full report. Quoting just this is disturbingly misleading. There is a family relationship between JS and BH. Even in 1987 (the time of the murder) it appears to be hostile. At the time this snippet was recorded it was 13 years later and BH had manipulated the police into agreeing to drop drug charges against her grandson in exchange for testimony. Oddly this seems like a pattern, because BH also offered to help police with the same evidence in 1994 when a Shawn Haddaway was being charged for 3 offenses -- no explanation for this is given, or the relationship. [edit: From the other link posted by bb88 (thanks, reading now), Shawn Haddaway was the son of BH] What other conversations, that were not recorded, occurred between JS and BH prior to this "wiretap"? Had BH been badgering JS for days and the responses JS gave were just "giving her what she wanted" -- if so, it would be classic broken family relationship crap -- I recommended reading some of Deborah Tannen's books. This snippet also doesn't explain why someone else also admitted to the murder, for which there was physical evidence available, but was suppressed. What happened is very sad -- a person was murdered. But it is far, far more complicated than what is in this snippet. |
Doubly so when they sent the wrong guys to jail. Because now it's three innocent lives that were affected adversely.
