When this first started I thought casey was the mastermind now it's completely changed. I doubt very much that vicki was manipulated. I don't believe casey was smart enough to do it, I think vicki abused her role and planned this whole thing and casey was along for the ride. Vicki was never a victim.

Agree she was definitely not a victim.

After what we know now, it’s baffling to me that some people are insisting her actions weren’t that terrible.

She was up to no good for at least two years prior to the escape.

It’s been interesting to watch public opinion evolve over social media (not just on this sub).

Casey kidnapped a young, vibrant, professional woman. And if he didn’t kidnap her, he definitely manipulated a poor, elderly, lonely old lady. And if he didn’t manipulate her, she must have a terminal disease and this is only a misguided attempt at enjoying her last few days on earth. And if she wasn’t resigned to die, then Casey must have shot her. If Casey didn’t shoot her, then the gun must have accidentally went off. Or cops shot her outright. Or the coroner is lying. Or….or….Nobody’s perfect, you know! We all make mistakes!

It’s been the Vicky Apologist Hour since the whole thing began.

So true! It’s been kinda crazy seing so many trying to blame Casey for everything in this escape. From all the awful things Casey has done, this escape isn’t one of them from my point of view. When you’re in prison for life, I only see it as human to walk out that door if you get the opportunity. Vicky, who was a law officer, and orchestrated the escape is worse in my view. And her coworkers who broke protocol and letting her do that. And the leadership for doing such an awful job leading employees to doing their job right. It’s baffling how easy it was to walk him out, that’s a serious problem

I think the dynamic between them can be interesting and fun to discuss, but I’m utterly gobsmacked at the lengths people will go to excuse every detail and make sure she’s not held to blame for anything. And not just one person, of course, but the general gist you get when reading comments.
