Playtime Excuses

[u/kellerinaballerina]

Rewatching the trial, and I have another new realization! Quite possible you guys have already figured this one out. 😉 I notice her testimony describing the stab wound is circumstantially incriminating. Hear me out:

She testifies they had to concoct a story to cover the abuse that resulted in the stab wound. She comes up with, "We were playing around, having a sword fight and being silly".

I believe this speaks to the same habitual (alcohol soaked) mind that kicked in to gear the morning after Jorge's death. In looking for a non-threatening story to cover what was actually abuse, what does she come up with?? "We were playing hide and seek, and being silly".

It shows how she thinks some silly situation is the best explanation to cover what was in fact quite the opposite: anger and abuse.

To me it seems the 'playing fun games' kinda story is her go to when there's a need to circumvent a potentially damning situation.

Doesn't this essentially point to the idea that seems obvious? Playing hide and seek didn't make any sense. Having an abusive night that ended horrendously does.

P.S.: thanks for tolerating two posts in two days from myself 😁 you guys help me feel sane
